    People talk so poorly about the BBStorm2, but I’ve dealt with this phone and it is ok. Now, I would definitely pick the HTC over the Motorola not just because it’s more attractive, but I am so TIRED of physical keyboards.

    i think I’m going to pick the incredible because of the camera and the possessor and sense i would need those extra megapixels because i am a big photographer and would need flash player on the internet to

    @ysabsovi BaboonMF — Are you talking about Skyfire? It’s a half-solution (or less than that, actually), and it doesn’t play videos within the flash window. Lets not forget that other flash animations and apps won’t work either. All Skyfire does it show you that a flash video is available on the site, and uses their servers to play the flash vid. Also, not all flash video is recognized by the browser.

    @zdesarjj ….except for the screen. Colors are “deeper” on the HTC, but it’s virtually useless in sunlight, and the Moto has a higher resolution.

    @babyjelloap I have the Moto Droid after using Blackberries for a few years, and I can tell you that you’ll end up using the virtual keyboard more. So if your only concern is keyboard or no keyboard, and that’s it, go for the HTC.

    @progressivegirl08 Well for one, if you’re filling out more than one text field on a page, you may not know which one you are filling out if you’re going one to the next (especially if there are multiple text fields that have the same description name) , where it switches to the next one without showing you the page first. Secondly, how about any type of video with chat, as an example. And then there is also the situation with playing games & having a full keyboard & d-pad.

    @flybriur but you are only typing for a minute, not when viewing the page as a rule…so I don’t see where the last point matters much. Unless I am missing something?

    @progressivegirl08 by the way, I thought I would want the keyboard after having one several years, but I find myself using the virtual one more and more. I find the keys on the physical keyboard less accurate since they are flat and small.

    I enjoyed this review – one of the most informative I have found. I am curious about the difference in screen visibility outdoors as well as the ability to hold up against scratching. I have the moto droid but am thinking about switching since I am still within my return period. I hate the lag in the camera of the moto droid, and am not willing to risk bricking my phone to root it either to match speed. Can anyone give me insight?

    This video was extremely informative. I am off to buy the Droid Incredible. It is just the better decision. Anyone who likes keyboards from what I reviewed from Droid doesn’t like its keyboard really because you can’t feel the buttons. Other than that it has a better battery life. Other than those dos things the Incredible is just more superior.

    ahh i cant decide i like the incredible because of how customizable it is but i like the moto droid because of the keyboard but its not the best keyboard so i have no clue what to do somebody help!

  16. babyjelloap 31. May, 2010 at 11:11 am #

  17. alcaPWN1994 31. May, 2010 at 11:59 am #

    standby time is really worthless. the incredible has better battery life when running in a day’s use.. i’ve had both phones.

    @japenesewallnut
    will that affect or void the warrenty?

    @japanesewallnut thanks!

  20. japanesewallnut 31. May, 2010 at 1:29 pm #

    @ysabsovi simple, first you need to root your droid and then you need to download the proccesor of a website but i would recommend you to stay with the 600 because it doesnt really make that big of a diffrence and you might mess up your phone. but if you really want to then go for the 800MHZ proccesor because it is the most stable for rooting.

    @BaboonMF you can download a browser from the market that has flash so you can watch shows and what not online

    @japanesewallnut How do people root the droid to 1ghz to make it faster??????

  24. turtleluv13 31. May, 2010 at 4:14 pm #

    you can download flash for the moto droid in the market. the incredible is faster and smoother, but i just got a moto droid the other day and i’m going to stick with it for its physical keyboard and battery life. technology IS moving way to fast though. in a month my phone will be ancient.

  25. japanesewallnut 31. May, 2010 at 5:12 pm #

    @cornholio321 no ur so wrong! i have the moto droid and u can use it from like 8am-4pm on and off with a lot of multi-tasking. but its only about 4 hours of life if u use it for 4-5 hours straight without break. and just cuz its a 550MHZ doesnt mean anything! the browser is still one of the fastest android browsers. the 1GHZ just loads apps 1 sec faster and is a tad smoother and it doesnt make much of a diffrence but most ppl root there droid to a 1GHZ anyway to make it even faster!

    The Motorola DROID continues to present new possibilities regular. We have had it for about 10 months and I’ve had a Blackberry attached to my body due to the fact September 1998. Getting connected can be a important part of my existence so I am always reachable by loved ones and co-workers. I’m a bit addicted towards Current market for DROID Applications. If the device had limitless memory I would check the capacity. I think this OS is the way of the long term and intend to develop with all of you to understand it through and by means of. Thanks for your write-up.
