Finally I will have a device that is incredibly fast and incredibly superior to all those "other" devices out there. I will be able to text and email and search all day long without lag while listening to my favorite tunes! I'll have access to all my Google apps and never need a computer again! (maybe) Not to mention all the cool games like Raging Thunder out for Android that is slooowwww on my Droid Eris. Please help me Android Central, you're my only hope to get this incredible incredible phone!
Finally, a chance to join with skynet and rule the world!!!!!
The Incredible will capture my slaughter of other tech devices with its 8 MP Camera, and film the iDont's frustration with dropped calls. Incredibly I can also maintain a connection with my family of droidlets on Gmail, and my colleagues through Exchange. The perfect life!!!!!

Incredible post on the incredible HTC Droid Incredible.
Incredibly, I would have an incredibly incredible time using my incredible love and incredible knowledge of Android, an incredible phone OS, to utilize the incredible HTC Droid Incredible which I feel is simply incredible.
I will post incredible posts on the go. I will surf incredible websites like Android Central when I'm out the door. I will text my friends with incredible accuracy, thanks to HTC's awesome keyboard. I will watch incredible Youtube videos on the incredible screen. I will play some of my favorite incredible music. And last but not least, I'll go to Google to figure out what the word 'pun' means...

What would I do with the new Incredible?
Would brag constantly to my 15 year old about how I have another INCREDIBLE phone that he CAN'T have! Bwuahahahahaha!

for a good cause
I am part of a volunteer program that helps family's cope with problems ranging from parenting children to helping people to read and write.
next month my wife and I are going to do this full time for a month - still volunteer work - at upstate NY.
I would love to use the GPS on this phone to find our way around the different cities we will be visiting. Of course the use of the phone will not be limited to the full month we are in NY, we can still use it when we return home when doing the same thing.
In addition to using the GPS:
- I will keep track of the people we visit using the contacts.
- I will keep track of when we need to return for a follow up visit with google calendar.
- I am sure I will find other useful way to use this incredible (pun #1) phone.
Thanks for the phone give away contest!

I will use it as the nerdiest pick up line ever lol. Walk up to a hot chick in a bar whip out my phone and say, Hay baby want to play with something incredible?
I think the DROID Incredible is as hot as Phil right now; no maybe it's even hotter. Sorry Phil. (LOL). At any rate, I'm in the Sprint camp right now, but a free DROID Incredible might just pull me over to the Verizon camp as if I had a tractor beam attached to me. Does that make VZW sound like the evil DeathStar? Uh oh. Seriously, I think EITHER of these phones will do me well as I embark on a journey out of the RIM camp and onto bigger and better things. OK, so all of that for a simple message.... PICK ME ALREADY!
Finally a phone fit for super-heroes
I finally have a phone that fits my personality.
~Sincerely Mr. Incredible
I finally have a phone that fits my personality.
~Sincerely Mr. Incredible
If I win the Incredible....
I will attempt to do all of the following, in no particular order:
1. Port folding @ home to droid so that it can run when the screen is locked thus using the incredible amount of processing power as a force for good
2. Transmit a radio signal over the wifi radio across the universe telling any alien civilizations how incredible the new phone is
3. Set the background picture as the Pixar characters "The Incredibles"
4. Post incredibly cool pictures on facebook of me using the phone

The feats that I will accomplish with the HTC Incredible are nothing short of spectacular, socially beneficial and beyond the scope of what a phone should be permitted to accomplish. In short, I will improve the world with my new phone. I will outline this process in a few steps.
1) With an 8 megapixel digital camera, I will have more than I need. I will gladly give one megapixel each to 4 needy children chosen randomly from a nearby Starbucks and use the remaining 4 megapixels to take beautiful pictures of their shining, grateful faces.
2) With 8 GB of internal memory, I will transfer most of my undesirable but significant childhood memories to my phone, thus freeing my brain to do more productive things like finding a cure for colon cancer or maybe figuring out how to teach my dog to stop counter-surfing.
3) With Android 2.1 pre-installed on this phone, I can use my Android 1.5 bearing HTC Eris phone to take a screen-shot of the Incredible and set it as the wallpaper, thus allowing the Eris the dignity of feeling like it received the 2.1 update Verizon promised me back in 1996.
4) With the 1GHz processor, I will play Monkey Kickoff without stuttering or hesitation and I will break my record of 5,902 monkey meters. Oh, and I will give those monkey meters to my mom.
5) With a dual led flash camera, I will do my part to improve the safety of our roads by standing on the nearest street corner and flashing extremely bright lights in rapid succession in the eyes of drivers just as they approach the busy intersection. At least that's what the state seems to feel makes things safer around here.
6) With Adobe Flash Lite, I will make a concerted effort to allow all of the less fortunate iPhone owners to look over my shoulder as I browse the web so they can discover what magical content appears in the place of the large gray boxes that mysteriously show up all over the web.
7) Lastly, I will use my new 3.7" AMOLED screen to assist with maintenance of low-income housing projects who might otherwise not be able to afford a tape measure, yet still need to measure things roughly divisible by 3.7.

My incredible feat is that I'll finally be able to break the hold that Blackberry seems to have in our company. Having an Android device (and a might fine one at that) in our company will hopefully open the door for others.
So long BB!
I have been waiting for something this incredible to finally get rid of my very un-incredible BlackBerry Tour. With this incredible device I'll be able to watch incredible videos, listen to incredible, navigate with an incredible GPS, takes pictures with an incredible 8 mega pixel camera and use all of the other incredible features that Android 2.1 and HTC Sense UI have to offer.
This will be my next phone. It would just be so incredible if I could get it before I'm eligible for an upgrade the end of June and for the always incredible price of $FREE! Let's just say that it would my life incredible.

The End to My 7-Year 'Incredible' Wait... 
Talk about existing as a living example for your kids to not make hasty, impulse buys...I am it, guys. I am a pretty high-tech junkie, but have waited for 7 YEARS to upgrade my phone! At first, it was pride..."I don't NEED another phone," then it became a bit of a joke..."How long can I hold out?"...and finally with the bad economy and with the hilarious iPhone rumors of it coming or not coming to Verizon, I got uber-picky about "superphone" features which led to new-phone-commitment phobia, waiting for the damn iPhone to make its anticlimatic appearance. Well, I'm not waiting anymore! Thanks to HTC coming out with a phone that is, truly incredible [insert corny rimshot here].
Of course, I justified waiting the past 7 years with the excuse that my LG 9800 (old-ass great grandfather to the LG-NV Touch) voice-announced my calls, premiered "text-to-speech" feature (yes, that was state of the art back in 2003!), AND had a can't-be-beat qwerty keyboard with REAL metal buttons. My LG even survived a swim in the bathtub.
That said, after tracking the Incredible for months, I am so excited to have found something to surpass the iPhone, imho. What will I use it for, beyond the obvious cool factors the specs boast? Don't laugh...but it will immensely help out with my double-agent covert hobby job of helping out daytime actors on soap operas! I have a high profile day job with the federal government, (Shhhh!) and I can't use Facebook, Twitter, or even balance my own checkbook, much less do soap opera stuff during lunch.
The primary actor I work for is former soap star, Aiden Turner. Yes, he is THE Aiden Turner that just got voted off 'Dancing With the Stars'. As his career is in transition, it would help me, as his fanclub director, to keep up with the entertainment Twitter and Facebook world and update his fanclub website in real time. The other actor I work for is up for 'Outstanding Lead Actor' for this year's Daytime Emmys, and in the ever evolving mobile world, the fans now demand up-to-the second updates. As a busy working mom of two boys, having this powerful tool in hand will make my life amazing. What I love about the Incredible is that it can serve as a tethering device for my personal laptop to boot, so there will be nothing that I cannot do anywhere. That's something the iPhone can't presently do, with AT&T's limitations? I design and run several media websites, so being able to view my uploaded flash .FLV files via the Incredible will be key, which my iPod Touch, as cool as it is, cannot do.
So...there you go. A closet soap opera helper with an extremely outdated 7-year old LG-phone that has a teeny tiny front display window. My aging eyes can no longer read the time & date! The Incredible phone is the only phone that has enticed me to break my 7-year streak, so it would be absolutely thrilling to win it. Thanks for offering this contest! If my stated reasons aren't enough, at the very least, I will look cooler in the eyes of my 13-year old son. No easy feat once your kids reach that age? Not to mention, I will be a better mom for always having a synched grocery list in hand.
Finally, can I throw in for sympathy factor -- I have NEVER won a contest in my entire life. Cross my heart. Not even the tacky centerpieces on the dinner tables at wedding receptions! If I don't win this phone from you, old habits die hard, and I might run the risk of continuing my streak to make a full decade! And my LG phone begs you...it is time for her to retire. It will also amaze (or more likely, dismay) Verizon that I will still keep intact my "new-every-two-year" phone credit!
