Introducing the HTC Incredible Droid

[danDroid]

After posting rumors of a new Motorola smart phone we felt it was only right to post something new from HTC. Chris Ziegler @ Engadget Mobile has made our day with news of a new Android 2.1 smart phone headed to Verizon. The codename was discovered in a leaked rom from HTC, but it could be simply an internal codename used by the developers.

Regardless of the name, this is a good sign that a new Android 2.1 phone is on the way. Earlier information suggested the Phone would be called the HTC Passion, HTC Bravo or HTC Dragon and would have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz CPU equipped with a 3.5-inch multi-touch OLED display.

I was thinking it was going to look more like the Bravo:

^^^ i really hope it's like the bravo. i need to replace my crappy voyager soon. please let this come out soon. my wife already has the droid which i like, but i want something different.

Damn, just got the Droid now this. Hopefully it come out soon, I am really not finding much use for the Droid keyboard and the 1ghz proc is Ooo so nice

Does anyone have any new info on when the HTC Dragon (or whatever it's going to be called) is arriving at Verizon? I was in the store Sunday and they said "any day now"...the rep had seen a working phone and said it was pretty slick.

Thanks!

My guess is it won't be til after the 13th of Jan that it's released.... just outside of the 'holiday return policy' window. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...0419-droid-30-day-return-policy-loophole.html

I'd take a peak.... even though HTC hardware doesn't impress me and the whole Beautiful Widgets fiasco has left a sour taste in my mouth...

Highly unlikely it will run at 1ghz more like 750 mgz. due to battery drain considerations.

I'm new newbe

I see that we think we might look for the new passion/dragon on or around the 13th Jan, is that still the best guess?...Also notice that the nexus will be out Jan 5th, will that influence Verizon decision?
