HTC Incredible

I got a HTC Incredible about a month ago.  Right away some of the issues that I had with the Droid are taken care of.  In case you don't remember here are some of problems I posted about;

• Droid didn't copy and past from email.
• The Incredible has two mail clients.  One of them is called "Gmail" and I think it comes with the android os.  The other one is simply "Mail" and it supports a long press to zoom and copy.  It takes a bit to get used to, but it works.  
• I didn't like the swipe to answer.
• The Incredible brings up two buttons which you tap.  This can be done with one hand if you are careful.
• I wasn't impressed with the battery life.
• Unfortunately the Incredible doesn't help much with this.  It seems a little worse.
• I thought that the battery cover came off way too easily.
• The Incredible battery cover is much harder to get off.  The first time I did it I had to look at the instructions again to make sure I wasn't breaking the phone.

So, it looks like HTC read my blog.  I'm flattered, but I can't take credit for all of it.  They came up with some other improvement like:

• Flash. No not the comic book kind. Flash video.  Try that on your iphone.
• Multiple home screens.  I think this is also part of the Nexus one, but it's an improvement over the Droid.
• The nifty clock thing.  OK I know it's an app, but I kind of like it.  When you first open the phone it plays an animation to represent the current weather.
• The camera is an 8 megapixel which is nice.

If you are still reading my blog, HTC, I like what you are doing.  Here are the things that I would improve.

• I would make the dual camera set up with the forward facing camera like you have on the EVO standard.
• I would look at increasing the battery size.  I've seen the battery and I believe that doubling the size would be worth it for me if it doubled the the time.  
• I've felt the heat coming off the phone when it's running the gps so I realize that this may be more of a heat
• As long as I'm looking at stuff I would look into solar paint.  If it's sturdy enough I could imagine painting this stuff on the outside of the phone and/or the outside of a belt clip phone case to charge the phone all the time.

If you are in the market for a phone you have to consider coverage area (not to mention price).  If Sprint's coverage area is suitable for your needs I would go with the EVO (which looks like the Incredible with a front facing camera).  Otherwise I would go with the Incredible over the Droid.
