Dinc 2 = 3G Thunderbolt?

[zero neck]

I read all the specs for the incredible2 and I'm a bit confused. It only has 1 gig of memory? I think my Droid x had 8.

Is that correct?

Nah the gig of memory is ram

Thank you. Much appreciated.

So, coming from the Eris (which has less than half the RAM, mem, etc. and no SD card apps). Just what kind of real-world storage capability can I expect from the Dinc2?

Apps will run a lot smoother and everything will feel quicker because it will be able to keep more apps running at once. Whereas on your Eris (and my Droid), since there's much less RAM for the system to use, it kills apps much more quickly and then has to completely reload them when you come back to them.

That's basically the only difference but it's a big one.

Edit: Just realized you were asking about more than just RAM. The Incredible 2 is likely going to come with a 16GB microSD card, so there's that. So like 17GB of storage if you want to count the onboard storage (which you should use exclusively for apps).

Smaller screen, 1gb vs 8gb of built in storage

Battery life will be better on the new Incredible 2 than on the Thunderbolt. 4g uses more juice for one thing. It is a more powerful device as it does more than the Incredible, but that does not make it a lesser device. I have the original and I love it and probably will upgrade to the Incredible 2 when I upgrade. I do like the fact the TB can use data and voice over 3g at the same time. A customer care rep had said the Incredible will do this over WIFI but I don't think she knew what she was talking about. I was asking her questions and she was very unsure of herself.
I do have an extended 1800 mAh battery for my Incredible and it is thin, so no extra size back cover is needed and it lasts me up to 15 hours. I love HTC devices. You can't go wrong with either device. It is all about what you want from your device. It is personal choice and only you can make that decision. Best to wait and see them side by side and then make your choice. The 28th will soon be here to see the new Incredible.

Yep, I do this all the time. Throws me off when I am not connected to Wi-Fi, and I suddenly can't talk and forward an email at the same time. Hehe

Doesnt the Incredible 2 come with a new Sense UI?

 

[LowFire]

Apparently Sense 3.0 is only coming on the new dual core phones and tablets

HTC Sense 3.0 will not support current crop of devices | BGR

 

[Mr.Miagi]

OK, i know the thunderbolt has sense 2.0 but i thought the incredible2 had sense 2.1 or something.


edit:
if you look at incredible S videos, in the pull down notification bar, it has a scrolling list of apps or toggles. Does the Thunderbolt have this?

 

[aquaj13]

i have the thunderbolt now on day 2 of my 14 day trial. The battery is great but the signal is horrible. I am going to call verizon tom, if this can't be fixed i will be swapping for the INC2 on thursday.

I have the Dinc2 rom booting on the TB

 

[johnnyshinta]

Is pressing and holding the home button bringin up the "Recent Apps" new too? Very Blackberryesque and I like it

no that is not a new feature. that is on Sense 1.0 as well. however on Sense 2.0 it shows the last 8 apps you've used instead of only 6 apps

 

[mturco]

It's actually just an Android feature (not specific to HTC Sense phones) and has been for as long as I've been using Android (so as far back as 2.0).
