So, now that you guys have been using the Incredible for a few weeks/month, what are your thoughts?
I'm about to upgrade, been on Blackberry's forever for work. Now I'm thinking that it may be time to switch things up. The Incredible is tops on my list so far (I'm Verizon BTW), I'm interested in hearing what your experience has been like thus far.

I love the incredible. I've adjusted quite well to the touch keyboard, and would not trade it for a Verizon iPhone if they offered me one for free. Verizon is very annoying with their 'droid does' campaign, but there really are a number of big features I'd have to give up to switch to an iPhone, at least without jailbreaking (and still wouldn't match up).
The only drawback is the battery, which lasts all day with minimal use (but only about 2/3 with serious use) but that's why they sell $5 backup batteries on ebay. If you can help it, buy the accessories (like a car charger) via ebay.

Rebooting the Incredible is nothing like rebooting a Blackberry. It was somewhat of a hassle to reboot my Curve 8330. Certainly not the case with the Incredible.
And I agree with pretty much everything Josh said. I absolutely love this phone. The battery life really isn't an issue for me right now. I mean, it's definitely not as good as the battery life was on my Curve....but the phone offers so much more, and that is expected.

I'm pretty sure the Incredible is the way I'll go, as I'm rarely away from my car or office. So, I should be able to charge it whenever I need to, although was something great about the Blackberries. Always had good battery life.
I'm impressed to hear that you wouldn't be wooed by a Verizon iPhone, thats probably more telling to me than anything. I'd say I'll be able to live with the poor battery life, I suppose I should roll into Verizon and pick one up. Thanks a million.

And hey, what specifically have you grown to like that you wouldn't want to give up for an iPhone? I keep seeing all these ads and things, but nothing specific like "Feature X is awesome, wouldn't want to go without it" etc...besides multitasking.

Gazillion!
I came from the Storm to the Inc., and the two of them should never be mentioned in the same conversation. The speed of this device is amazing. I have not experienced any lag with anything I do. The sense UI is awesome, the ability to customize EVERYTHING on about the device, and the browsing (which includes FLASH) are the 3 big things that make it better than the iphone. I would say the battery life is a downfall and maybe its durability. I have not had any issues, nor have I seen many, but my buddy is very hard on his phones so I told him to be cautious before he got this one.

I love my Nexus One so far. Although it has been kind of sluggish this week.
The N1 and Incredible will only get faster once Froyo comes out, 450% faster.

Motorola Droid Shadow Found In Gym
They sure do run across a lot of misplaced phones :susp:
They sure do run across a lot of misplaced phones :susp:And now for some useless & detail-free boasting: Google: The Next 6 Months of Android Will "Blow Your Mind"Motorola Droid Shadow Found In Gym
The story goes that this phone was left in a corporate Verizon gym in Washington, but before it was remotely locked the finder saw a text message confirming it was "unreleased". What is it? Why, the Motorola Droid Shadow.
Based on previous information about the handset, we already know it'll be Motorola's second Droid, and will be exclusive to Verizon. It'll have an 8MP camera (capable of shooting 720p video), a 4.3-inch screen, and will no doubt be running Android Froyo when it's released June/July.
The gym employee who found the device (as the story goes) managed to confirm a few details with the chap who picked it up—specifically, that it has 16GB of internal storage, runs on a Snapdragon processor, has a HDMI port, and yes, the 8MP camera and 4.3-inch screen all checked out too.
There's been a good run of unreleased phones being left in public areas—who wants to bet on the next Motorola Kin being found in a Taco Bell?

I've got a weird bug on my phone, when I open up my keyboard (it might be when it is in horizontal mode) the text box seems to open with an m, b or sometimes both before I've typed anything.
Anyone have any suggestions for how to search for that problem on google? I've had no luck coming up with the right query to look for that problem, let alone finding any answers.

Im sure if they do the others will be quick to do the same also. I also know that the us government is looking at setting up laws where they have to tell you as soon as you go over your limits to avoid "cell phone bill shock"
