AndroidandMe recently posted some pictures of an early HTC Incredible prototype and now a newer, more final design has appeared. The bright red battery cover is now a matte black, but the insides have retained the red coloring (see pic below). We saw HTC do this for the HD Mini (yellow insides) so this looks like a new trend for HTC.
The specs have also been refreshed since we last saw the device. The Snapdragon processor has been underclocked to 768 MHz (presumably to save battery), but the RAM has doubled to 512 MB (just like the N1). Also getting a bump is the camera which now features 8 megapixels instead of 5.
No other sites have reported this, but I’ve been told we should expect to see the Incredible on another CDMA carrier besides Verizon. The phone is expected to be announced during CTIA and be released sometime before summer.
Update: The good thing about posting rumors is someone always calls you out on your mistakes. Apparently the Incredible is very near to release and several production models are floating around. You can still consider this a “rumor” but I’ve been told the RAM and ROM both received a significant boost. Early prototypes included only 256 MB RAM, but the latest revision has 1 GB RAM (just like the rumored Supersonic). I’ve also been told the CPU will do 1 GHz, but it throttles up and down just like every other Android phone.
Rumored specs of the HTC Incredible include:
- 1 GHz Snapdragon processor QSD8650
- 3.7 inch AMOLED screen WVGA resolution
- 6 GB ROM, 1 GB RAM
- 8 MP camera with dual LED flash and AF
- Android 2.1 with Sense UI
- Optical track pad
- 1300 mAh battery
- Shipping with 8GB MicroSDHC card
- FM Tuner
- Dimensions: 117.5 mm (L) x 58.5 mm (w) x 11.9 mm (T)

Yeah….. The desire would be nice…Would be even nicer if they’d slap a keyboard on it.

So they have talked about this FOR EVER!?! I am drooling, frothing for this phone. I have been following this phone for months. I am still on my 700wx for godsake. This is why I am upgrading. SOOO that being said (sorry for the rant) if they say a release date of March/April why has it not gone through the FCC yet?

Now that HTC Incredible is coming out I think it may change everything. I’ve always made compromises when buying a new phone. I’ll get something I like but not the one I love, just to save money. Then I quickly tire of having an already out-dated device. Technology is almost impossible to keep up with. No matter what you get today it will be an inferior device in only a matter of months (sometimes not even that). But I’ve been thinking, if I’m going to spend the money on a device that I will be stuck with for the next two years, I might as well buy the one I absolutely love. I might as well buy the best one I can right now.
Of course I’m still just waiting and crossing my fingers for the unveiling of the cost of the device. The ONLY deciding factor in this, for me, would be the cost of the device and if the cost of the service would be any different than the plans Verizon currently offers.
