According to someone from Best Buy, they now have the Verizon HTC Droid Incredible in stock. This doesn't have the AMOLED display but it does sport a 3.7-inch SLCD (Super LCD) display along with Android 2.2 pre-installed. The SLCD display is pretty good but the AMOLED is a bit better in terms of usability. It's not a big deal, to be honest, but at least you can pick one up now! Act fast.

Okay, so yesterday morning we heard about the HTC Ace which will be hitting Europe in the future, but exactly what is it? No one knows for sure right now, but it'll be running on the Android OS. Pocket-Lint is leaning towards the HTC Ace being a GSM Droid Incredible (pictured above), while everyone else including Electronista is saying that it's a GSM version of the EVO 4G (without the 4G capabilities). This 3G-only smartphone will be hitting T-Mobile and apparently features specs similar to the HD2 with Android (the EVO 4G). I won't make any guesses so let's just wait for the official word.

Someone has just spotted this [somewhat] bad news. The DROID Incredible has just made the phase-out list at Verizon which could make some people sad. The Incredible was a great device, but it's been plagued by shortages and it took a while for it to get rooted. On to other things though because the DROID X and the DROID 2 are on the way so you'll be able to cheer up in the near future. The DROID X is slightly larger than the DROID Incredible but it'll likely sport a 1GHz OMAP CPU which is slightly faster than the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU.

Update: According to a random tipster (commenter below), the Droid Incredible actually won't be phased out and is expected to stay on Verizon until Q2 2011. They also mentioned that the smartphone will be getting an update to version 2.2 "Froyo" on July 9th.

It's already been confirmed that the Verizon DROID Incredible has been facing shortages and they seem to be sold out everywhere. Verizon is going to be receiving their shipments late next month, June 22nd to be exact. With Motorola launching two Android-based smartphones in July, they're definitely worth waiting for.

You have gotta love Amazon. Without getting off your chair you can now order the Verizon HTC DROID Incredible for cheaper than what you'd find it going for in Verizon stores. They're offering it right now for $149.99 on a new 2-year contract with Verizon -- $50 cheaper than what you'll find in any official Verizon store. So if you're interested head on over to Amazon here and order yours now.

Verizon may be out of the HTC DROID Incredible, but look no further than Amazon. Whenever they get their stock they're going to be offering the handset for $149.99 ($50 cheaper than Verizon) on a 2-year contract. This is a great deal, seeing how the handset just went live on Verizon's website yesterday. Check it out here.

If you're looking to get the HTC DROID Incredible that's available on Verizon's site right now then there's some bad news. It's actually sold out right now. The new orders will begin to ship on May 4th so it's only about a week delay. Apparently, when the DROID Incredible went live this morning it sold out in around 2 hours.

Update: According to the commenter below (thanks Ariana), if you call Verizon they'll actually still offer you one. This deal may not last long so call in if you have the time!

Vodafone UK has just announced that they'll be releasing the Google Nexus One on April 30th, which is this Friday. This is great news especially considering that the DROID Incredible won't be hitting the UK. Of course, it'll be available for free on select contracts.

Google has just updated their site to tell you that there's no point in getting the Nexus One since the DROID Incredible will be launched in the near future - April 29th. The DROID Incredible is exactly like the Nexus One except for the difference design, of course, and the improved 8MP camera. There's really nothing to cry about here. Google has already confirmed that they are not launching the Nexus One on Verizon.

We already know the DROID Incredible's full specification sheet, so I don't really need to go over them. Verizon and HTC has officially announced that the pre-orders for the DROID Incredible will start on April 19th and it'll be available starting on April 29th for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate. It's going to cost $599.99 contract-free.

The HTC Incredible has just shown up officially on Verizon's website - finally - and it clearly shows that they'll be launching on April 29th as the Droid Incredible. This is probably why they're dropping the Droid Eris by the end of May.

Update: The page on Verizon has been pulled, but it should surface again.

Well, it looks like Costco in the US could be planning to launch the T-Mobile HTC Incredible for $199.99 on contract, which is obviously predictable. There's really not much left to tell you, but it's rumoured to hit the carrier before the end of this month, especially considering what you see below.

According to this image above, Verizon employees could be just about ready to start their training for the HTC Incredible. This clearly hints at a launch in the near future - it should be mere weeks away.

Update: According to yet another Phandroid post, both the Window Mount & Phone Holster and the black & red case will cost you $24.99. Check out what they both look like below.

The whole HTC Incredible spec sheet has just leaked out and there should be nothing on here that should be surprising to you - if you've been following the many leaks. The highlights are its 3.7-inch WVGA OLED capacitive touchscreen display, 8MP AF camera with video recording capabilities, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, the Snapdragon 1GHz CPU, WiFi b/g/n, and Android 2.1 with the Sense UI.

Although the Verizon price for the HTC Incredible hasn't been leaked out, the accessory prices have been. This includes the battery cover, the extended (2,150mAh) battery, the rubber case, and the display protectors (3-pack). They'll be retailing for $14.99, $59.99, $29.99, and $12.99, respectively. The battery looks like it's only available in red right now, so let's hope that there'll be a black one in the future.

Okay, well, Verizon is announcing something on Monday, April 12th. Engadget believes that it's the Microsoft Pink (Pure and Turtle), while Phandroid believes it's the HTC Incredible. It's only 3 days away, so be sure to tune in on Monday to see what's up.

Update: According to Slash Gear, SanDisk has actually confirmed that Pink will be announced on Monday. Both of the handsets will feature microSD card slots (especially SanDisk ones), which is a big positive - seeing how WinPho 7 won't have support for that.

So much for my guess. According to what you see above, the HTC Incredible will be launching on April 29th and the manual was actually leaked, which is extremely great news. The manual confirmed some of the specs that we already know. The handset will feature a 3.7-inch AMOLED multitouch display with a 480 x 800 resolution, an 8MP AF camera with a dual-LED flash, 3G / CDMA connectivity, WiFi / Bluetooth / GPS support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an FM radio, a microSD card slot, and the Sense UI over top of Android 2.1. The price wasn't mentioned, but it'll be surprising if it doesn't launch for $199.99 on a 2-year contract.

Verizon has unofficially confirmed that the HTC Incredible is launching extremely soon. Yup, they used Twitter to confirm it, as you can see in the two pictures below. Not much left to tell you.

We know that Verizon should be launching the HTC Incredible extremely soon and it's been hinted again. It has just been spotted in the CelleBrite systems, but that's all that was revealed. I don't know what the HTC 6800 is, but oh well.
