Is there something about the Moto Droid you don't like? If you are happy with it, I would wait until your time is up. There will always be that next big thing. I came from a BB Tour (after the Storm), and had the Incredible not been announced when it was, I would now be a proud Moto Droid owner. I suffer from serious iPhone envy, and waited on the Incredible because I thought it better quenched that envy.
Another thing to be aware of before you make the switch, are the apps that you like on the Moto Droid available for HTC Droid's yet? I know there are a number of apps that I've seen on friends Motos that do not work on the Incredible.

To me, the phone feels slow, clunky and I do not like the slideout keyboard. Ill even go as far as saying Ive never once used it because it doesnt appeal to me. Even when I rooted my phone, purchased the SETcpu app and overclocked my phone it still felt slow and sluggish.
In all honesty. I dont have many apps on my phone at the moment. I had setcpu but went back to stock in hopes of selling the phone to get some money for the incredible. The 2 only paid apps I have are Beautiful widgets and Setcpu but now that im not rooted, I can only use the beautiful widgets. So, Ive yet to really "explore" the apps.
This post made me smile!!!
I too have been an avid Crackberry member and a Storm1 owner since 8am on Launch Day.
My Incredible is in the mail and I CANT WAIT to use it tomorrow!
If I can get around $300 for my Droid, would it be worth it to invest that 300 dollars into the Incredible? I know its 500 but atleast ill get something from my old phone

I had a Storm2 anxious am not looking back on my decision. I agree with everyone said get two Incredibles.
I hated the way the BB Storm 1 required so much pressure to get a response, and text entry seemed so error-prone. So I pawned it off on a family member, who thought it was the greatest thing going, until just now when he got my hand-me-down Omnia and realized how cumbersome the BB was.
Although the Incredible's screen is capacitive and still requires finger use rather than being ultra-sensitive to anything from a pen tip to a stylus, the phone in general is light years ahead. Its processor, camera, customizability and size are far preferable to those of the Storm.

Again, not to be redundant, but I like Android better than RIM's inoperating system because Android works. I prefer it over a system where the phone is designed to have the battery removed regularly for optimum performance. I don't miss that or worrying about taskillers and the like.
I love it so far... I'm kind of an ex bbry user because i still have my 9700..... I am loving everything about my droid. I mainly went with the droid because of Verizon's network. I have att and i drop calls literally everytime i am on the phone. It is soo frustrating when i am on a long call or i am holding and it drops or i cant dial out. Plus att does not have a droid that is worth it and i need a newer technology. Bbry's are great but they are a little boring and i feel like i'm being left behind. The blackberry is still the best for instant notifications. Information gets pushed to blackberry's better than any other OS and that makes it hands down the best. Texting is great also with the blackberry. I am getting used to typing quickly on my incredible and i have done pretty darn well so far especially with the auto correct. The touch screen is very responsive. Just about as good as the iphone if not better. Transfering contacts is easy if you download google sync. It will sync up all your contacts and that makes transfering everything over to your droid very easy. The alarm lock on the droid hasnt been great so far but i still have my blackberry for that so i dont think i will care for now.
In all fairness though the Android lags too and i find myself lagging too much and that does kinda become a pain especially with such a fast processor. The phone is still new but so far with about 12 hours of use it has slowed up a couple times. A battery pull on the blackberry is not really that big of a deal. With my bold I only do it once a week if at all and my phone runs very smooth. Blackberry just hasn't given the fun factor in their OS but productivity is still grade A and you can not deny that. They just haven't introduced something eye catching where as Android has done a great job of trying to be fun and productive all in the same OS....
HTC Droid Incredible Problems!!!
Greetings, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue, Ever since the batter died, I am unable to turn on my phone. I called tech support, they sent me to a store, they said it was broke and set me all the way across town. Well I got there, and they got the phone to turn on. Ever since then I went back up and put it on the charger, it still has yet to turn on again. They will not replace it because they got it to turn on after the other store said it was broken. This is a first for them as they repeatedly told me. My question is, why the hell would I buy the phone, and on the first day want a brand new one again if it wasn't broken? I'm about to just return it and go back to my crappy storm.

Thanks for all the advice folks. It would be nice to see a thread that outlines the issues people are having collectively. I apologize if it already exists.
The Incredible is a fantastic device but I don't think it would be worth $550 to get it if you already have the Moto Droid.
I had the Moto Droid, used another line to upgrade to the Incredible and got it at the promotional price of $199. Spending an additional $350 would have been silly. The Moto Droid is "incredible" in itself and my daughter is using it now.
As for the OP, I would run, not walk, to the store to get your Incredibles! Take it from someone who has owned a curve and both the Storm I and Storm II. I do love the BB email client but that is just about the ONLY thing I miss. I dont believe BB will ever catch up to the Android platform. The Incredible is truly an "incredible" device!
BTW, if you are looking to save some money, I believe VZW is offering the Moto droid with a BOGO right now. It isn't an Incredible but as I said before it is a great device in itself. That offer would get your wife into an android for free.

Ditto Andy. IMHO, it's pretty pathetic to have to do battery pulls for a phone, or any electronic device to work properly. And to call it multi-tasking if the phone slows to a crawl when you have more than 1 app running is ridicules . Even on Crackberry the biggest BB fanboy site on the net, people are getting tired of RIM's outdated OS and failure to keep up with the competition.
Lately, I think they invoke the name Incredible more often there than here lol.

May be to simple, but just becuase you remove the widgets does not mean the programs they are attached too are not running in the background. What programs are you automatically updating and what frequency are they updating at?
