HTC Incredible HD (The Mecha)

This thing is sick... it will be mine!
Till then... who know how to dig into the PG05IMG to get at some of its goodies?

i want the droid bionic...

It's officially the thunderbolt, not incredible HD or mecha...just FYI.

Can't wait for this phone! Here's the link to the Thunderbolt on HTC's website. Too bad it's not a dual core processor, but it does have 768MB RAM and a preinstalled 32GB microSD card!

And Verizon already has it on their website:

What happened to the optical trackpad?
That's one of my favorite features about the Incredible.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the trackpad? I honestly never touch the thing and its a hassel since it just gets dirty and scrolls on its own.

Personally, I like the Incredible's track pad, hated the Eris' /but I can certainly function without it. when you think about it, it's a touch screen phone.. the track pad is just taking up valuable real estate.

I do love the Thunderbolt. It isn't what I hoped it would be. and I wasn't sure about the kick stand. but it looks really well built. And I'm not in a 4G area, so paying for it may not be worth it unfortunately. Hopefully they adequate the pricing so it's doable.

Ive never had that problem with the dirty trackpad. I just have really big fingers and the trackpad helps a lot. Although my next phone may be one of the 4.3"+ i was playing with an evo and everything seemed a lil bigger on the ui, so that might help me
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App

Funny I figured Verizon would've called it a Droid at least. The trackpad really would just take up space on the already large device. it fits well on the incredible though. i had a droid x for a while and I felt like it needed a trackpad even though it was so large. there was definitely room for it on the X

When Verizon is selling it it'll be the HTC Droid thunderbolt. When I bought my phone the guy referred to it only as the Droid incredible. They really like throwing the Droid word around

doesnt say anything about it there. on another note... did anyone notice you cant use the kickstand and charge the Thunderbolt at the same time?

why dont any of those pictures show the FFC?
it would have been nice to have a dual core processor, i would love to get this phone but i'm scared that it is going to be outdated extremely quickly. if the development for the phone is good i'll definitely get it though. i hope when i see it in person i'm more "wow'ed" by it.
and personally, i hate the trackpad on the phone. i would have them rather just take it out and make the phone shorter

undervolt
imho... this new dinc whatever you call it is not up to par..... ill just sight this.... no hdmi out? the only thing my dinc does not do well is tv out. how can i spend the money for an upgrade that missed hdmi out. Hey otherwise im drooling but Really no hdmi out? why..We all know why... big red anyhoo just my 2 cents

I can't really tell from the pictures. But am I seeing some sort of proprietary charge port instead of micro usb?? That might be a deal breaker for me.

I think there is a micro-USB and an HDMI out. Maybe you're seeing the HDMI port?

Tech specs do list micro-USB but not HDMI.

Put It this way... There are justified and explainable reasons for the lack of dualcore. If you think about, Qualcomm is really the best CPU on the market, if HTC would've debuted a Dualcore Snapdragon, everyone would've disregarded the tegra and all its mobile counterparts, minus the xoom of course =)
In Addition... There are NO APPLICATIONS or Android itself is NO WHERE NEAR the use of two cores and hyper threading. This should pick up after Q3 maybe even Q4 when the "Devs and Engineers" fine tune the use of all this great hardware.
For now, the thunderbolt is the best machine. Dual Mics plus the media mics by the camera and speaker as the Droid x had make this a Beast over that chump called "Droid Bionic" garbage. 768MB Ram, Second Gen Snapdragon, Plus the dev support on this makes it insane...
Sent From a Crop Circle... with a Nexus S =)

Farewell myTouch!

Well it's been a good run....But it's time to let go!
I have a nexus s and I'm trading this phone for a g2 because theres no reason to keep two phones with such similar features.
Perhaps, if the powers that be allow it (craigslist) I shall return!
Until then, it's been great guys have fun and take care.

Wait you are trading G2 for MT4G? WTF? are you crazy? Also NS is nothing special other than having SGX540 and SAMOLED. Far as SGX540 goes its slightly better than AMD Z460 regardless of what the Hummingbird fanboys want you to think. Far as performance goes has that POS device able to play full 720p videos yet? I just find it odd a phone that can score (via leak) 4000+ on quadrant with TrinityOC kernel can't even play video feed which says alot as synthetic score never translates in to real world performance. I mean only thing I hear people talk about when they say NS is THE update directly from Google. So? thats why we have AOSP and we get it better than official stock in month or two full working port.

Welcome to the nexus s family bro u will love it!!!

The myTouch 4G's huge advantage in RAM alone makes it a better phone than the Nexus S. With phone's like the Atrix now released (1GB RAM), the Nexus S' small 512MB RAM makes it seem ancient. I'll take the MT4G's 768.

Ya I didn't want to start Hummingbird SoC vs Snapdragon SoC war so I let that go but the fact is regardless of the synthetic benchmark the NS fanboy are so fond of MT4G is superior and no the POS SGX540 has nothing to do with it as it won't even be factor. With ext of 2GS and 768mb DDR in MT4G it will out do NS clock per clock. Far as Atrix goes yeah its using 1GB RAM but its DDR2 in this case as with higher latency with dual bandwidth is same as DDR1 as I thoroughly covered on AF forum. MT4G is better than NS regardless of what these fanboys tell you these are the same people who rely on Google for updates lol which says enough.

Mistake in two ways... Especially trading for g2...

No disrespect, but I was playing with the Nexus S at Best Buy last week and was actually laughing out loud! All I could think of was it was a re-badged Galaxy S phone (which I did own).

I also have to agree on the choice being bad, I have a Nexus One, Nexus S, and the MT4G, there are only two things I miss about the Nexus S that the MT4G doesn't have, I loved the screen, and the weight.
The MT4G has a better camera, its faster (OC'd to 1.5ghz right now), compared to the NS 1.3), the ram (even if its only a bit more).

That's because some of us actually has deep history in this fiasco that you can't even begin to comprehend. I mean when you are correct and have actual data to prove it regardless of the delusional placebo effect faced by 90% of the Hummingbird fanboys.
Then again its not your fault you properly use your phone for some girly chitchat, but some of us actually has MT4G connected to a cluster making it one of the vNodes thus able to swift and swing proc task via wifi taking the whole mobile computing to the next level.

No fanboyism or hatred on my part. Read my post, it wasn't about opinions or loyalty, but about actual numbers that translate into a faster device and overall better performance.

Nexus S better? You haven't tried the MT4G with a Faux123 kernel have you... Good luck anyway.

I love this phone

I just came from the Atrix. I thought that I would be OK running the atrix without mods(locked bootloader), but i think i went through with-drawls from CM. Motorola blows goats with their locked blootloaders. Ther stock price is down 10%
Design Gears bricked his phone, that was the final straw. I will never by a Motorola phone again

Loving it too!
Coming from Leo I have found it very similar just with more mpx and RAM/ROM
Bye physical buttons as well.
So far so good (2 days with it)

some testings have showed that browsing speed of Atrix is not faster than Inspire. Proud to own an Inspire.

I agree, it is a great phone. Had it for a week now, it was a nice upgrade from my HTC Aria.

Love this phone too. Coming from 4 years of every iPhone - finally got bored and made the jump.
At first it was like a really bad break up - thought about the iPhone 4 every single day, missed it when I would hold or caress another phone, and wanted many of the features/memories back. Now after about two months, rooting, flashing to MIUI (following weekly builds), cattleprod's Cyan04.7 Kernel, and other tweaks and mods, I'm wholeheartedly fulfilled and more ways then before. Can't imagine going back to that terrible world I was in before.
Don't get me wrong, I have an iPad 2 and wouldn't give that up for the world (or any other Android tablet) though. Apples vs oranges though.

Upgraded from a cheap quick messaging phone

Came from Iphone 4 and I'll never go back. Been with apple for past few years with 3g, 3gs, 4 and never again. The customization of Android makes it all worth the transition 100 times over.
So yes needless to say I love my Inspire 4g! In fact trying to talk buddy of mine into buying one instead of the Infuse. I prefer HTC.

The infuse has about 1/2 the RAM and only 200 MHz more CPU (easily in the stable OC range)
Also, the only bad thing about moving from the iPhone was the apps I had bought. It was SO easy to sync my contacts to Gmail.

I love his phone also. After rooting, custom Roms etc... this phone is even better. I switched from being and Iphone user and will not go back. I am waiting to get my wife one for her upgrade so she can get rid of the Iphone also.

Count me in on the Inspire love. I've had mine for a couple months now and find it still to be an exceptional smartphone. I haven't rooted mine but I do use custom launchers. Currently using GO Launcher EX with the GoContacts/GoDialer and continue to be amazed by this Inspire.
I can't take screenshots on my Inspire but this is exactly what it looks like from these screenshots of my HD2. The only difference is the taskbar.

Somebody talk me into keeping this phone, I'm starting to get bored with it.

Hey guys. I love my Inspire, but like always, it's starting to get a little old to me and I'm getting the itch for something different. I've flashed everything from CM7 to the new Sense 3.0 port... but it's starting to get "same-ole, same-ole". Someone offer a fellow Inspire owner some words of wisdom on why this device is worth holding on to, because quite frankly I "want" to keep it.

Funny you should mention the keyboard... after 6 months, it was the only part of my former crapflip that didn't turn to ****.
The aluminum body on the Inspire is so much more robust than most of the dainty plastic phones it competes with.
IMO, HTC is at the top of their game. Every major US carrier has at least one great HTC.
Quality always bests quantity in my book, though HTC has managed equal parts of both in spades.

This is the honest answer. Once you get used to a phone OS and are able to work your way around pretty much all aspects of it, it becomes boring.
The only options are to either stick with it (maybe due to there not being a better OS in your opinion, maybe due to the app market, maybe due to some kind of hope that something revolutionary will come along that can be done on your device, etc.) or to go try a new OS (Windows Phone VII and iOS still exist)

Dude the reason its so boring is cuz your not utilizing the options. Like me. If I'm at work ill pop on YouTube or a movie and Watch it to speed up the time being or even Pandora. Then on lunch breaks,ill pull out modern warfare and kill some online ass. Then when I go to my classes at 9pm,pull out quickoffice and take notes the easy way. Then email them to myself and start all over. Yell the Andy calculators help Me in my college algebra 2 class. Facebook,flash player,mp3 player,graphical calculators(which run like $100+ from TI) POINT IS....Android rules it all. If u get bored,go onto ustream and stream something live and enjoy it. Ufc or something. IPhone sucks imo,owned that trashed that. And with HTC,updates will be here in no time. Like they said SGS will keep u busy fixing it,rather than enjoying. Reason I posted this is to give example of how to enjoy ur phone,for more than mere entertainment.

+1 guys, thank's for some great (and some not-so-great, haha) responses. I know that if I hop over to another WP 7 or iOS device i will realize why I liked Android so much in the first place, just because of what it can do that they cannot.
I am on the same page, as I believe Android is the dominant mobile OS. I think it's like being married...eh.. and there is that blonde co-ed down the hall. Yeah, it could be nice, but you will always go back to the wife you married... well, maybe.
I suppose I'm just looking over at the other side of the fence, and even though I like what I see, I know when I get over there, I will more than likely want to come back.

Well like I said bud just do other things ya know? The thunderbolt,inspire,even the optimus G2X, all are the same. Just with different UI's. And of course ffc or higher LTE and 4g speeds.

why do you think Samsung phones oversell other Android phones?

Why do you think Samsung phones oversell other Android phones? What do you think makes Galaxys more "superior" to other Android phones? I can't really find a good reason because all Android phones are really really similar.
I do love Galaxy much because of its practical UI. However, satisfaction with UI depends more on individual's taste and therefore does not make the Galaxys superior.
What do you think? Please share your thoughts.

I'm sure there's a lot more to it, but it helps that they're a really big company. I also wonder what some of the other reasons might be.

Are you basing it on Actual sales or Contract phones included?
There's the user who wants more memory, more apps, fsster data connection and is cheap enough to get hold of....that being said, that doesn't mean they're using it's best or whole potential, not to forget the 'Idiot Factor' ....a lot of them are sat on facebook or candy crush ...BUT they've got a flash, fancy, all singing and dancing phone....
I wouldn't worry about why there's so many out there...it's if we're ALL using the same phone... I'd shoot myself first
