I got the HTC Incredible. Phone is not the best ive ever had, drops calls, hard to use with the touch screen.
i can browse and post on the forum here but again just because it can be done doesnt make it convienant. Screen is so small u have to zoom to whatever part of the page u want to read and its not easy to get it right the 1st time.
Camera is A+ and u can send stuff directly to utube and facebook but thats not a big key for me..
I did download the iheartradio.....Now thats something i can use. Unfortunantly it runs the battery down in about 30-40 mins so its hard to use if ur not near a plug u can charge at....and if ur near a plug...ur probably near a radio...lol

So it does a lot of things...none of them great and none without maybe more effort than its worth...

If you can get Sprint, wait about a week or 2. It's a new HTC. They are coming out with one that creates a wi-fi hot spot wherever you are so you can also use your computer on line if your phone is close by. Other than that there isn't a whole lot of difference from one to the next. Just be sure that the keyboard has numbers on separate keys if you do much text messaging.

I've had the HTC Incredible for 3 weeks now. It's definitely the best option if you're with Verizon. The touch screen takes some getting used to, but it's not so bad after that. The camera is great...the pictures really look like they're from a camera and not a phone-camera. ProPokerPlayer noted that the screen is small -- it's 3.7 inches, larger than the IPhone, and I'm actually not aware of any smartphone screen that's larger than 3.7 ...come on, how big of a screen can you expect a handheld phone device to have? If you can't stand navigating/zooming the screen then don't use a cell phone to browse the internet.

If you need it right now, the nokia n900 is the best - as it's browser is far and away the most feature-rich. It is fully flash enabled and adheres to html5. If you can wait, probably either the iphone or droid (and it'd depend on your personal preference) as their browsers are pretty similar, although android phones should have flash within the next week or month. Iphones pinch-zooming is quicker and smoother than others though.

HTC Evo coming out next week is 4.3 inches.
