Time for my phone upgrade

Ive been waiting impatiently for the incredible to be announced and released. They timed it perfect with my phone upgrade. The only bummer is I have to wait until May 5th, and the phone comes out on April 29th. Anyone want to get it for me for my birthday?

have you replaced the phone?

I have had them send me refurb a few times. If you change a phone out three times you can complain and ask that they change your phone to something similar.

The Incredible fixes all of the problems that the droid does have, and that camera is just badass.

just call and complain about it, when they tell you that you need to upgrade the firmware ask them to ship you one because its to far of a drive to the store.

ok picked it up today, more to come soon!

A little off topic, but is it just me or is the picture of the phone make the person who is holding it's thumb look HUGE?!?!?!?

its not just you, now that you pointed it out I am scared


I am hoping we can get a full review of the phone up but I will give you a quick couple notes here

Good
-Fastest phone I have ever used
-Screen looks amazing, very crisp.
-Multi touch works great, the touch screen in general is of the highest quality. Much better than my storm
-50,000 apps.. need I say more!
- 8MP camera takes amazing shots, you even have the capability to adjust anything you would like. Nothing like any other camera phone
-FM radio

Bad
-My battery life has been almost unusable, I expected it to be bad. I mean this phone has more power than some PC's. Because of that HTC really should have used a better battery than the same one from the Droid Eris (1300mAh. A few people have already found out that a few other HTC phones have 1500mAh batterys and they fit.. If you have them already why go with the smaller battery on your flagship phone? This is even more important when the battery is coming from a phone that people already complain about battery life..

-Although the camera is amazing, its still not perfect. Some low light photos do come out grainy. Still much better than any other camera phone on the market.

-Lastly, the downside to the amazing screen is its visibility when outside in direct sunlight. The screen is unusable when in mid day direct sunlight. Of course this only effects me when i walk out of work or take the dogs out. But if you worked outside all of the time you would have some issues.


Verizon sent out a new battery to me, It came in today. I'm hoping this will fix some of my issues. I know and expect the battery life to be bad, but the problems I am having are worse than they should be.

The first program I installed was Advanced Task Killer. I tried everything to save battery power..

I only used the phone on two 15 min breaks and my hour lunch at work. I kept Wifi, sounds and vibrate,GPS, and bluetooth off. After each use I turned 3g off, turned the backlighting off, and even went as far as making sure to check and close every service running using the build in function. Even when doing ALL of that the phone would die in less than 8 hours.

Today I turned it off in between breaks and charged it for 45 min in my car on lunch while using it and right now I have 9% battery left.

Keep in mind all of that time I never made a phone call ether.

The battery gets almost burning hot when doing something as simple as reading the FML widget for 10 min.


BTW, I still LOVE the phone. I just have to get this issue fixed. If the battery they sent me doesn't fix it, I will pick up an extended life battery and continue to enjoy it

i leave my pc on at home
