A sturdy 3G smartphone still running strong after 21 months, March 3, 2012

By 

B. Janusch (Phoenix, AZ USA) –

  

I pre-ordered this phone and got it the day it came out in April 2010. Since day one it has been a reliable phone that gets strong signal here in Phoenix. 21 months later I upgraded to a new dual-core, 4G phone only because I got the upgrade for free. I was more than ready to stay with my Incredible for even longer. The phone wasn’t perfect and there were 2 clear downs to it. The first being the brightness of the screen. It was not very useful outside. This was common in all of the 1st generation AMOLED screens. Second, 3.7″ is the absolute minimum screen size for a usable phone. The phone I switched to is 4.3″ and there is a noticible difference. That said, the phone never gave me trouble. It could play all early generation games, was great on WiFi and 3G alike, and came with a sturdy Sense skin from HTC that I loved. On the extended battery I got an easy 18 hours of battery life, which was more than enough.

For someone looking for a way to make a cheap entry into Android smartphones, picking up one of these used would be a great idea.

Not so incredible., February 14, 2012

When I received the phone I thought it was in good shape, but I have immense difficulty when it comes to calls. I can’t hear people and they can’t hear me. Half the time the conversation is, “Can you hear me now?”

I won’t even get started with the battery. Go ahead, turn off the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and turn off syncing. Download a battery saver. Download a task manager. It doesn’t matter, at the end of the day this phone will be dead.

Has been the most dependable Android phone I’ve used, October 20, 2011

In a small office, we’ve used the Droid X, HTC Rhyme and Thunderbolt (which has a terrible battery) but surprisingly enough, the Incredible has been the most reliable performer !
The phone has been fast, the screen has been sharp since we’ve had it, the battery has been great too! I’m kinda surprised that the manufacturers didn’t stick with these internal components.
