HTC Droid Incredible: Coming to Verizon April 29?

By Geoff Duncan Published April 14, 2010

Every once in a while a cat gets out of the bag: an apparently production slip-up on a staging site for Verizon Wireless has apparently spilled the beans that the company plans to launch the HTC Incredible smartphone—under the name “Droid Incredible”—beginning APril 29. The HTC Incredible bears considerable similarity to the Google Nexus One—not surprising since they’re both made by HTC. The HTC Incredible will feature a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, a 3.7-inch AMOLED 800 by 480-pixel touchscreen display, 8 GB of onboard storage, a microSD slot, and an 8 megapixel camera.

Verizon Wireless has since locked down the staging site—it was originally sniffed out by the blog Phandroid—but information on the site seemed to indicate Verizon planned to go with a $350 early termination fee. The site did not carry any pricing information, but it looks like it will offer a way for interested customers to give their email address for updates on the product’s availability.

Although the leaked staging site does not constitute an official announcement—so nobody has any business getting upset if any of the details change—it does seem to line up well with industry reports and speculation.

Google’s Nexus One phone is currently available in versions compatible with T-Mobile’s and AT&T’s 3G networks.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.
