Difference DInc2 and Incredible S?

What's the difference between the DInc2 and the incredible S?

As far as I know it's only the radios. Well, that and the fact that the Inc2 is controlled by VZW which is another can of worms.

Just as the previous poster said, other then carrier it's the same phone (except not locked down as much by the carrier)

HTC Incredible S specs - Phone Arena

IncS - GSM & ability to use htcsense.com

Inc2 - CDMA (VZW) & GSM (EUR), VZW bloatware, & no ability to use htcsense.com

Inc S also supports CDMA.....

Inc S also supports CDMA.....

do they say "Incredible S, you can use it in America!" (said in British accent)

Does the DINC S have a CDMA radio in it? I was under the impression that European phones only come in GSM.

From the HTC worldwide Incredible S spec page

Network4HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 900/AWS/2100 MHz
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

WCDMA definition from phonescoop.com below

WCDMA
(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access)

Wideband CDMA is a third-generation (3G) wireless standard which utilizes one 5 MHz channel for both voice and data, initially offering data speeds up to 384 Kbps. WCDMA is the 3G technology used in the US by AT&T and T-Mobile.

There are several newer technologies that offer much faster data speeds, such as HSDPA, HSUPA, and HSPA. These do not replace WCDMA, but rather build on and enhance WCDMA. Therefore any phone with HSDPA also includes WCDMA by definition.

WCDMA is also referred to as UMTS - the two terms are effectively interchangeable.

WCDMA is the 3G standard that most GSM carriers are moving to. Parts of the WCDMA standard are based on GSM technology. WCDMA networks are designed to integrate with GSM networks at certain levels. Most WCDMA phones include GSM as well, for backward compatibility.

WCDMA borrows certain technology ideas from CDMA, as the name implies, but is in fact very different and incompatible with phones and networks using "CDMA" technology.

In Europe and Asia, WCDMA is being deployed in the all-new 2100 MHz frequency band. In North America, WCDMA is being deployed in the existing 1900 MHz (PCS) and 850 MHz (cellular) bands, as well as the newer 1700 MHz (AWS) band.

Hope that clears it up. If the Incredible S was indeed CDMA compliant, why would they need the Incredible 2?
