At this point there was no turning back for HTC and Verizon. They were in this way too deep. They knew that all Android users are now fully aware of what they were up to. There were photos, documents and even official web pages that were left behind carelessly for the whole community to see. They couldn't keep the secret any longer, so they gave in to the pressure, announcing one of the hottest Android smartphones the world has ever seen - the HTC Droid Incredible.
Now if you aren't really into such style of writing, let us say it in another way: at today's 99% Conference, HTC finally announced the Android 2.1-powered HTC Droid Incredible for Verizon Wireless. All the specs that have leaked at one point or another got confirmed, like the 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 1GHz Snapdragon (not underclocked), 8MP camera with flash, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm jack and the ubiquitous Sense user interface.
So nothing new under the sun really, except for one quite important thing - the price. "The next chapter in the Droid saga", as Verizon puts it, will continue on April 29 (read: launches on that day) at a price of $199 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
