It’s been rumored for months, but you all know I don’t like to play the rumor game. It’s now official, Verizon and HTC announced the HTC Droid Incredible today at some event called 99% Conference – is it possible to come up with a dumber name for a conference than this? You go to the website and it doesn’t really tell you anything other than it’s hipsters gathering in New York. Anyway the HTC Droid Incredible will hit Verizon April 29th for a reasonable $200 under contract. I have Verizon for two years and hated everything about the service, but I’m really curious to get my hands on this phone to play around with. Check out the full press release and feature set. I want one…..
