Android 3.0

[mprobert]

Will this be coming out exclusively for tablets or smart phones as well? If it does come out for smart phones will the DI get a taste? The DI is falling behind in benchmarks (has a super fast processor) but the gpu is just garbage. Video/Graphics are its weak point. Nenmark on a good day 13.6 fps. My dads fascinate gets like 40+ easy on android 2.1.

You tell me if the nexus is getting it. shouldn't you think the inc is getting it also the inc isn't falling behind . Your talking about a samsung device ours is htc different story. Inc is one of the best htc devices.

The Incredible is not falling behind at all. HTC takes care of their devices very well and they wouldn't abandon it like Samsung abandoned the Behold II. The gpu is sufficient enough for a lot of games. My Evo runs Asphalt 5 really well even with a weak Adreno GPU. The GPU will not and cannot be overclocked on the Evo or the Incredible, so nothing will affect its performance unless if the fps somehow got boosted.

Then go buy a Fascinate. The Dinc's gpu isnt garbage. Its just no longer the new shiny. Big deal, it doesnt mean the Incredible is in anyway over or outdated. If you think its too slow there are so many options out there, but saying this device is past its prime is just ignorant. little hint, it IS a phone.

i just traded in my fascinate for an incredible and I am so much happier. Fascinate may be ahead hardware wise but the incredible is so much smoother

I think that the only phone that outdoes the DINC is the EVO and that is only because of 4g and larger screen... Personally I prefer the DINC.

 

[thechemE#CB]

If the dinc had better battery life i feel like there would be no need for other droids except the original ones. solely due to the physical keyboard

 

[caliskimmer]

I traded Epic for Evo and I have never felt happier to have an HTC phone. Some Fascinate to DInc users have reported their happiness (I'm looking at you hockeyplayr

Is the Dinc screen big enough for Gingerbread?

 

[PvilleComp]

But of course we are going to get Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream, JuJubee, Lolipop, Mohita, Nugat, Oreo, Peanut Brickel, Quiche, Red Velvet Cake, Sviadle (sp?), TubeCake, Sorry - I'm tapped out and the DInc probly wont get the next one anyway.

Amen !!

Had the Facinate for about 2 hours and took it back to get the DI. Facinate was cool and all but the no 2.1 thing and the lack of google search kinda killed it for me. Plus the UI was really buggy and not as smooth as htc sense. Love my DI only thing i might trade it for is a LTE htc droid phone.

 

[datterboy]

My dinc is not smooth at 3d stuff but it is awesome at everything else. Asphalt 5 on the dinc is impossible. Can't handle it. Pretty sure that won't change until the dinc successor comes out. The evo is really just an extra large dinc. Same guts.

Dinc will get at least the next 2 android versions. But I don't expect graphics to improve.

htc phones just seem to be more reliable. The dinc so far has done what i needed it to do, when i needed it to do it and quick. Its processor may be slightly slower but it is definitely snappier and it'll probably improve even more once i overclock it. I could not depend on my fascinate at all. That coupled with the fact that people seem to have little faith in samsung supporting their phones in the long run.

I feel like I'm getting a true droid experience now

it has been rumored that a 3.5 in screen is required. We are at 3.7

 

[rpfarrah]

Pretty sure we'll see Gingerbread on this phone.

 

[thechemE#CB]

We have better specs than the nexus one and that'll probably see it. google wont abandon their own phone just yet.
