Recently we were invited to Verizon's Droid X event. At the conference, Verizon covered all things that had to do with the Droid and where it was going. One big thing that was announced at the conference was, you guessed it, the Droid X. If you want to know everything there is to know about the Droid X, please watch the video above.

As I said in the unboxing, HTC and Verizon Wireless have a winner on their hands!
Right away I was caught onto the device and was hooked on it ever since the first hour of use. I got the hang of things and pretty much felt like I made this device. So let's start the review, shall we?
Hardware:
- The Incredible has a micro USB, 3.5 mm Headphone jack, volume rocker, and the on/off/sleep/wake button (as shown in the video )
- Also it has the 1 GHZ Qualcomm SnapDragon Processor which makes this device extremely fast and snappy; makes multitasking a breeze!
- 3.7 inch AMOLED display is very vivid in dark situations, but when the screen is in direct sunlight, its very very hard to read, the AMOLED’s displays have a very big problem with glare.
Software:
- The Incredible runs Android 2.1 with HTC Sense UI over it, which is the first to do that. Sense definitely makes this device ten times better than Android alone, with all the intergration for all Android apps plus all HTC apps and widgets makes this device a social networking god, and makes all the business users happy with the business and lifestyle apps you can get on this device!
TheIncredible can run multiple apps at the same time, and will not be slow, thanks to the 1GHZ processor inside! But browsing the web is a breeze, has all the neat gestures you find on the iPhone on the Droid Incredible! The browser is definitely faster then the iPhone 3GS over a wifi connection.
‘Leap’
Leap is a new feature on Android 2.1 and HTC Sense, which allows you to leap between home screens, instead of swiping between your seven home screens, all you have to do is pinch in, to zoom out, and you get a thumbnail view of each home screen! Then tap to your preferred home screen and you LEAP to that screen!
Messages and Email
The Incredible has great programs that run Messages and Email quick, and responsive. The messages app opens up all of your messages (SMS, MMS). The onscreen QWERTY keyboard is very responsive, you get haptics while you type.
Email is the same; great interface, you can scroll through your emails, search for them, and type emails in a snap.
Apps
The Android Market is a growing market, much like the App store for iPhone, the Android market may not have as many apps as the App store does, but more are being added daily! The Apps are fun, cool, and I really like personal assistants that help you in daily life, remind you when you have meetings, etc. And basic stuff like that. But so many phones fall down in this area, The Incredible is not one. I found many pre-installed apps that help! Also found a bunch of fun games that can kill time while traveling, or when you want to play a fun game on your phone!
The HTC Incredible is a great Android phone, the BEST in my opinion.
It runs great apps, runs smoothly and has killer OS. Many phones just copy their competition, HTC and Google has a winner on their hands, and Verizon has a great network for that winner. This is a great match up between carriers and product! If you’re on the market for a new phone, the HTC Incredible should be on you should consider picking up!
