My "sorry old phone" i currently have is the Droid Eris. It has android 2.1, has a nice form factor (one of the reasons I picked it over the Motorola Droid), and nice on screen keyboard but I NEED POWER! This phone is rather slow compared to the newer android devices and the screen is rather unimpressive these days. The Android OS is great, but hardware still matters. I like to show off my devices and the Droid Eris isn't the best Android phone to show off. I get depressed and feel insignificant everytime I use a friend's Moto Droid. My friend's don't understand why I would want a new phone after just getting a couple months ago and argue that my phone is "nice". I need to hear "awesome" when I pull out my phone. When the Droid Incredible was revealed, it was like the answer to all my problems. 480x800 resolution, snapdragon processor and a 8 Megapixel camera? *drools*. Call me shallow, but I want to drop jaws.
