I just saw on the news that iphone 4 will be out the 24th. I'd wait for that one. It looks awesome!

I own the HTC Droid Incredible and I would choose that hands down over the Moto Droid any day. Unless you 100% want a physical keyboard on your phone, I wouldn't go with the Motorola. The HTC is a million times faster, can do more, is thinner, etc, and the battery life is not bad.
The first two weeks of having the Incredible I wasn't so sure about the battery life, as it only lasted a single day with moderate usage, but the battery DOES improve. I was also tinkering with so many settings, playing around on it, etc. Now that the glamor has worn off a little on having such a cool phone, I get over 2 days of battery life w/ moderate usage before I charge it. For a smartphone (or computer, rather, lol) that is adequate.
My father owns the Moto Droid, and while he likes it, he now wishes he could upgrade to the Incredible. He thought he would use the keyboard, but it is SO horribly designed (even for smaller female hands) he never uses it...and goes for the touch screen keyboard.
If you ever use speakerphone in the car, the Incredible has a great speakerphone...just don't turn it up all the way, because it is LOUD. Reception is awesome, etc. I honestly have zero complaints about it, and I would choose an Android phone over an iPhone any day due to the open app market. Oh, and the Google navigation is awesome (I am horrible w/ directions) and accurate.
The Incredible's camera is 8mp with a dual led flash and honestly takes great photos. Since my dad has the Moto Droid, we took the same photo standing next to each other, held the results next to one another, and the quality in picture was a huge difference. The Incredible has no lag on apps, etc whatsoever whereas certain apps take longer to load on the Moto because it's slower. Also, the 8 gigs of ram on board storage is nice to have on the Incredible...then you can also add your micro SD card if you want.

Is it going to be with Verizon? I haven't been keeping up with the iPhone news for a couple of months now so I'm not sure. The last time I read about it, they say maybe by the end of the year it will make its way to Verizon. I'll google that right now. Thanks Brit!
Hey Lisa! Thank you so much for this review. I was hoping to get some comparisons of the two since I can't really decide at this point but I was definitely leaning more towards the Incredible. I went to a Verizon store yesterday to look at their phones and I like the appearance of the Incredible more than the Droid. I thought the Droid is bulky whereas the Incredible is more sleek. I don't think the QWERTY keyboard will be a huge issue for me. My EnV has one and I never use it. I type/text a lot slower with the keyboard. And I do agree that the camera has great quality. I tried it out and loved it. The only thing, though, is when I went on the internet to look at YouTube videos, the videos were really blurry. I don't know if it was the quality of the video or the phone.I own the HTC Droid Incredible and I would choose that hands down over the Moto Droid any day.

I'd love to see the video if you figure out how to post it.
Maybe it was the YouTube videos then?
I just finished googling about the iPhone coming to Verizon. I'm hoping the iPhone comes to Verizon as well but it doesn't look too promising. But, I guess we'll wait and see. *Fingers Crossed* LOL.
I'm sure you'll love the Moto Droid. They both received really good reviews.
I read that they're making an iPhone, which will be compatible with Verizon, this September but it could all just be rumors. Neither Apple or Verizon has confirmed this. I have a friend who has an iPhone and she loves it. I want one so bad but I'm getting impatient so I think I might just go with the Incredible. LOL.
Thank you so much everyone for your feedbacks/responses! I just got back from the mall and I bought the Droid Incredible. It's on back-order so I won't get it until mid-July. I'm really excited and can't wait to get my hands on it.
Btw, I asked the Verizon employee about the iPhone coming to Verizon and he said that's just a rumor. He said if anything, maybe in a few years. Just thought I'll pass that along.

I'm so happy you got the Incredible! You are going to love it. I've noticed the longer I've had it (and the less I tinker w/ it of course), the better the battery life is. I did download Advanced Task Killer (free) from the app market to kill my apps that are being unused. I do it every time I'm done using my phone and it's helped a lot. Also, if you keep GPS turned off except when you're wanting to use it (navigation, etc) that will really help your battery life. I leave mine on all the time now, because I'm almost always near somewhere I can charge my phone if needed, but in case you don't have access to charge it during the day I thought I'd let you know.Thank you so much everyone for your feedbacks/responses!
