Aw, crap... had my eye on the Omnia II but my Omnia doesn't quite live up to specs. Windows Phone 7's limited multitasking nixed that, I'm nervous about the push for video streaming to phones and the growing push to charge by usage/eliminate the unlimited plans that are limited to 5 GB per month, and I am a bit concerned with just how much control google has (youtube, search engine, phone OS, advertising, office software... basically, if they control their market in a way that would make Microsoft blush - heck, they even get an early termination fee on top of your cellular provider's termination fee).
Yet, it sounds like it might be the phone I want. Can't wait to see how people feel this performs in the wild.
Droid Incredible...O_o
What, did Apple like patent the name "Droid 2" or something?
This phone is pure awesome. Why would anyone bother with an outdated, crippled iPhone when there are phones like this available?
Android just keeps getting better.

Putting "Droid" in front of the name is a Verizon thing. The only confusing part is the Droid being just the Droid... But there is already a Droid Eris so this will just be joining the Droid family as a Droid Incredible.
Does ATT has any android phone? ATT has the best signal in my area, switching to Verison can be troublesome to me.
Will this be available in europe?
I'd love one ..
Sounds liek a great phone (12MP camera with xenon flash, 1024x768 SAMOLED etc. would be nice though).
However, can we get a phone like this with official support for two mobile OS's? Such as both Android and Symbian?
I've had my eyes on Symbian, but there's only a couple nice Symbian phones I'd get.
How about off contract prices? Sure, buying a phone off contract is stupidly expensive, but contracts are something some of us refuse to sign.

You can get the Nexus One from Google. It won't be subsidized, but at $529, it's pretty good for an unlocked, no-contract phone.
Kind of reminds me of the HTC EVO coming out for Sprint. Same specs.
DAMN IT HTC, WHERE'S MY TEGRA!!!
HTC has been doing a great job designing all these Android phones, but I'm getting a little tired of hearing about the Qualcomm Snapdragon. The Tegra 250 has a Dual-core 1 Ghz Arm Cortex A9 processor, and it has a GPU that kicks the pants off any other mobile platform.

Dude... read the article.. 8MP camera with dual LEDs.
I'm waiting until they release the new iPhone, then see what the competition does and THEN I'll put down my hard-earned money. May the best phone win, whether it be Apple or Android or WP7. I'll buy whatever I think suits my needs.
No wireless n?

You can get a Nexus One AT&T compatible from www.google.com/phone and AT&T is coming out with Android offerings.

Forget kicking, I think it would be more likely to burn the pants off of you with those supposed specs....
good, more android options

My next phone will be a Tegra 2 or better. No exceptions. I need an actual phone capable of modern gaming.
Sticking with Sprint's Supersonic.
Drool... If the typing on this thing is any good I am probably going to bail out on my blackberry as soon as I can re-up my contract. I am happy with blackberry but the camera has gone from excellent to total crap since there is a dust leak somewhere in the phone and I don't want the hassle of trying to get it replaced. That, and the screen on the Incredible is just magical.
I'm waiting for the HTC from sprint, the one with the 8 megapixel camera and the 1.4mp front facing camera for vid conference and the HDMI output. HTC makes some crazy phones. they really should jump in on the slate bandwagon

"supposed"?
It's been demoed. You can buy a dev-kit for $400 bucks. Nvidia has made prototype devices, and the GPU/RAM/CPU all packaged together are a little larger than a stick of gum and only consumes half a watt (of course that's before the ports, screen, wireless devices, etc).
The ironic part is Microsoft is the only company ready to go with a Newcomer to the mobile technology ring, since they'll be the first to work with Nvidia on a Tegra phone. Hopefully that will pave the way to HTC coming to their senses.
It's missing my most important specification: what does this thing mass? I love gadgets, but there's a limit to how much I'm going to lug around for my own "convenience." For example, the iPad is way over my weight limit.
I pre-ordered mine!

I will admit my views are a little warped, I don't mind an 11 lb notebook (what does it matter, this society doesn't support maneuverability fashionably), but I understand why some may find that a bit annoying.
That said, if you have an issue carrying 135 grams, there is something wrong with you, not the phone.
