HTC Incredible vs. Motorola Droid Xtreme

[tourboy]

So if you have an Incredible on order and scheduled to be delivered around the middle of this month, would you still go through with it or hold out for the upcoming Motorola Droid Xtreme?

Will the phones be comparable, or the Incredible still be the better of the two mainly due to the UI?

still ugly looking IMO. and yes i like sense too much to not have it.

Ugly in terms of the appearance?

Don't have an Incredible so not familiar enough with how the 2 compare.

Yea I don't know I could not get a phone anymore that don't have sense. I really like it on my incredible.

yes i think the droid is not appealing visually. the next version doesnt look any better so far.

I would for sure stay with the incredible. I mean there are a couple better features like the HD recording and the larger screen if you like that, but I do love sense. I think this phone works great and I wouldn't trade it for the Droid Shadow. I am not a huge fan of how Motorola makes their phones look.

+1 on the ugly factor of the MOTO Droid.

 

[tourboy]

OK, so the Motorola wins the ugly award. LOL

Other comparison factors?

I'm gonna stick with the incredible....mainly because my wife will serious inflict bodily harm if I even look at another phone right now!

I actually had an incredible due to ship next week. But after some doing convinced Verizon to cancel my order. They agreed with me when I told them if I had to replace my incredible I'd be screwed. So I'll be waiting for the xtreme.

Regardless of what you think of the physical design of the phone, (I personally like it) Droid XTreme has Motoblur which is ugly and buggy. I have it on the devour and while I like that you can include MySpace in the Happenings widget (like Friendstream in Sense), and it's inclusion of a Blackberry style Universal Inbox, it crashes all the time.

Motoblur does have some nice backup/restore features if the phone is lost, stolen, or damaged, or if you just want to migrate to a new phone.

I have my Incredible, and I am happy with it, but I may be upgrading my Devour to the Droid Extreme when it comes out, we shall see

There will always be a new phone every month it seems.... I think for those of use with the Incredible, we have a solid phone that looks great.

I am not planning on returning unless I run into to some last minute problems in the next week.

I simply love the Incredible ( keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue to work good).

I know exactly what you mean...

Good point, and it seems the Incredible is an ideal size where the EVO4 and Droid Xtreme are going after the bigger is always better, but not the case when it comes to a phone and its usage.

no thanks on motoblur for sure, it just seems like a mess to me. I really like sense, and other then the battery life on my incredible, i really couldnt ask for anything more out of a phone. I like how sleek it is, the new droid looks like its going to be another brick...i just hope they leave off the gold fingerprint like scanner lol

Droid XTreme/Shadow is not the Droid 2 and does not have a keyboard. It's touch screen only. Droid 2 is an entirely different phone.

It depends on what you want. If you want to use it as an actual phone and take it with you everywhere that kind of thing mainly appeals to people with big hands, but a lot of people want it for games or because the large screen makes it easier to type.

The thing is though that it is relative and tends to change. Last fall people were saying the same thing about Moto Droid's 3.7 inch screen vs the more standard 3.1-3.3 inch phones.

Can we start using the "Multi-Q" (Multiple Quote) button below posts please? It makes reading the forum a bit rough.

If I didn't have my incredible yet I would still order it. Because with Android if you keep waiting for the next big thing you will always be waiting. When you wait and go to order your XTreme then there will be a post "Should I take my Xtreme back because "X" Droid is coming out next month. Are the specs better? Advice please"

If you like the phone order it, by the time you are ready for a new phone something much better than the next step will be out, in technology you will always be a day behind, in cell phones you will be a year behind.
