Judie over at Gear Diary just recently got the HTC Incredible and have unboxed it for our pleasure. It is the latest HTC Android phone availible with Verizon.

Battery life over the last few days (I just received the phone on Friday afternoon, so I haven’t had a lot of testing time) has been about as expected — not great. I like the live wall-papers, and I like all of the HTC and Android bells & whistles, and I don’t want to turn them off. Thankfully the Droid Incredible uses a standard microUSB cable, and I already have an in-vehicle one as well as several strategically placed around the house, and one I carry in my bag, so I don’t have to worry too much about the battery totally dying.

I have to say that if the Droid Incredible was available in a version which took a SIM, I would be very interested. This is easily the best Android phone I’ve yet handled, but it falls just a little bit short in case quality. Call me odd, but I know what I like, and that’s the extra weight and rigidity that a bit of metal can add to an otherwise plasticy device.
