Latest news on HTC Incredible includes underclocked processor

Android Forum is chock full of...news about the HTC Incredible. The Incredible is the Verizon phone du jour that Big Red's smartphone loving customers have been watching and waiting for. First, let's discuss the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. According to those on the forum who claim to know, the processor will be underclocked to 768MHz which is probably done to preserve battery life. Other tidbits of info include talk that the phone will have 500MB of RAM with 320MB of that available. This is about the same as the specs on the Nexus-One, by the way. The camera is 8MP (Yes, that's Incredible-we get it!). Expect to see Sense on top of Android 2.1 and with dimensions of 117.5 x 58.5 x 11.9mm, it is a bit thicker, shorter and narrower when compared to the N-One. The handset is now encased in a black soft touch shell while the inside-including the battery-is red. The latest pictures of the device show the Verizon logo on the bottom of the back cover. The folks on the forum are calling for an April or May launch so you drooling Verizon customers-and you know who you are-need just a few more weeks of patience.
