I posted this in another thread but I figured it's probably useful to have here, too; I got to play with an Incredible today at a Best Buy store, so I can say a little bit about it just from the few minutes I had:
Yes, the phone is lighter than you'd probably expect it to be, but it's not even close to feeling cheap or "too light". In fact, the phone feels awesome! I didn't get the "cheap" feeling that some people have mentioned, noting seemed loose or creaky, and the weight it did have was evenly distributed. Nothing felt out of place, but the device I was using did have a screen protector so it felt a little weird. Also, the ridged back is way less noticeable in person than in the pictures, and it's actually wonderful to hold compared to a flat surface. The phone is surprisingly thin, both in the hand and just looking at it, and it's way more apparent when you see the phone in real life compared to the pictures. I originally thought the stylized back cover would be a bad idea, but after seeing it in person I'm of the opposite opinion. The capacitive buttons might as well be physical because they responded perfectly, haptic feedback and all, as well as being evenly and brightly lit. The optical trackpad threw me off at first, simply because of the lack of physical movement. I accidentally brushed it once or twice in the first 30 seconds of handling the phone, but once you realize it's there it's pretty much the same as having a trackball. I'm pretty sure I saw where the notification light is (up next to the earpiece) but the unit was just for playing around with so I didn't see it in action or if there are multiple colors.
All in all, an amazingly sexy device, something you MUST see in person to really appreciate. Pictures definitely don't do it justice. I also played around with the camera for a bit, and it's pretty nice from what I could tell in-store. One thing that I didn't have time to mess with was the tap-to-focus functionality; it worked perfectly, but the camera would take a picture immediately after focusing instead of waiting for the button to be pressed. This was only quirky in that it means you don't really get to preview the shot after focusing without taking a picture. Again, this might be configurable, I just didn't get to mess with it too much.
