HTC Incredible due at Verizo in two weeks?
The HTC Incredible will arrive at Verizon in two weeks, according to a Wednesday leak. Sources at Verizon apparently confirmed the details to DailyTech and suggested that the upcoming Android 2.1 update for the Droid may be used as a testbed. Verizon could smooth out any conflicts between its network and the OS before the official launch of the flagship Incredible, which will also run on Android 2.1.
The Incredible will be one of the most potent Android handsets to date, reported to have a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU -- though possibly slowed to 768MHz -- and 512MB of RAM, matching the Nexus One in memory but not clock speed. Its camera, at 8 megapixels and with a larger lens, should make the handset thicker but should produce better images. The 6GB of storage space will also handily outpace the 512MB of the Nexus One, although microSDHC slots may reduce the apparent difference. Otherwise, the Incredible will have an FM tuner and a 1,300mAh battery.
Pricing for the Incredible remains unknown, but could be close to the $179 price tag demanded by Google for the Nexus One when it's purchased with a T-Mobile contract at $80 per month.
