One of the most anticipated phones of this season is the HTC Incredible. This high-end Android device is reportedly going to make an appearance near the end of this month on Verizon sporting a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen, 1 GHz processor, and many other features.
Although no official announcement has been made by Verizon, information we received this morning from both our Verizon insider and our Best Buy connect is pointing toward an April 29th release date.
Neither of our sources were able to give pricing information at this time and promised to get back to us as soon as they had the information in hand.
Features will supposedly include 6 GB of internal storage plus a microSD memory card slot and 512 MB of RAM. In addition, it will have an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flashes, and FM Tuner, and a 1300 mAh battery. The HTC Incredible will launch running Android OS 2.1 on a 1 GHz processor; however, this may be down clocked to 768 MHz. The device will also sport a 3.7-inch WVGA (800 by 480 pixel) AM-OLED touchscreen with an optical touchpad below. The Incredible will aslo include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a GPS receiver.
Are you going to wait for the Nexus One or pick-up an Incredible on release day?

Last night we told you that the HTC EVO 4G will be available for pre-order through Best Buy starting April 16th. Today we’re bringing you another piece of the release puzzle also given to me by my Best Buy connect.
Again you’ll have to take this for what it’s worth, but this guy has always been right on when it comes to solid information.
The HTC rep. was in today, he told us that Sprint is trying to decide between June 6th and 13th for the release of the HTC EVO. BTW he had an EVO in hand, one word – Beautiful!!!!
He also said that there may be a ten or twenty dollar plan add-on to access the EVO’s 8-device WiFi capability, although it is still under consideration considering Verizon is offering free hotspot connections via the Palm Pre and Pixi Plus devices. When asked about basic plan pricing the rep stated that’s still a work in progress but that he (the rep), didn’t think Sprint was going to charge extra for 4G service.
With the bold moves Sprint has been making I personally don’t see them charging additional fees for 4G service. Here’s why, Dan Hesse stated at CTIA that Wimax will not cost extra to use. With Verizon giving away WiFi connections via their Palm devices I don’t really see Sprint charging to use the WiFi capability of the HTC EVO 4G.
This rumored launch dates makes sense, given the speculation that the iPhone 4G will likely launch late June/early July, I’m sure Sprint wants to take as many customers as possible away from AT&T/iPhone and the HTC EVO 4G is the device to do it with.
What do you think?

The kids over at We R Android managed to get their hands on pics of Sprints Samsung Moment 2 from a source they deem credible. As of yet we don’t we don’t know much, but this is what we do know.
Samsung Moment 2: Courtesy of WeRAndroid
According to their source the Moment 2 is sporting specs similar to the current Moment with the addition of a dedicated search key, TouchWiz 3.0 and Android 2.1. With the current moment slated to get Android 2.1 in the coming days and the fact that Samsung didn’t rework the design of the handset much other than slightly enlarging the surface area of the keys and adding a chrome bezel, is upgrading your current Moment really worth it to get Touch3.0 and a dedicated search key?
- Android 2.1
- Touchwiz 3.0
- CDMA (Sprint)
- Full QWERTY (4 rows)
- Addition of a search key to the capacitive touch keys
- Chrome Bezel
- This will not have the new Super AMOLED
No word on pricing or availability, as we learn more we’ll let you know.

In a bold move that’s sure to grab the attention of their competitors Sprint is offering consumers something no other wireless carrier is, a full money-back guarantee on service plans – the Sprint Free Guarantee.
Here’s how the Sprint Free Guarantee Works. Any new or existing customer who opens a new line of service, and for whatever reason is not completely satisfied with the Sprint experience can cancel their account and return their phone without cost within the first 30 days of service. The Sprint Free Guarantee applies only to equipment and recurring charges including all taxes and Sprint surcharges associated with the selected plan.
You will be responsible for certain charges not associated with the Sprint Free Guarantee: usage not included in the monthly service plan, premium content (i.e. digital downloads, songs, games, applications), third-party billing, international charges and any associated taxes and Sprint surcharges.
