Verizon Wireless launches Android-powered HTC Incredible

The ambitiously named Incredible doesn’t quite scale the heights of HTC’s recently announced Evo 4G (or at least on paper it doesn’t), but hey — it still looks impressive in its own right. (Maybe “HTC Impressive” would have been a better name?)

The blogers have been talking about this for a few weeks n ow, with leaked details about Verizon’s third Android smartphone (set for release on April 29; $199 with a two-year contract and after a mail-in $100 rebate). However, Verizon has officially released the info now.

It weights about 4.5 ounces and it’s less than half-inch thick, the Incredible gets off on the right foot with an eye-popping, 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display. In back, you’ll find the 8-megapixel camera and its dual LED flash for snapping pictures in low light — however the Incredible lacks the Evo 4G’s front-facing camera for video conferencing.

The Qualcomm 1GHz “Snapdragon” processor powers the Incredible and it runs on Android 2.1, the latest version of Google’s Android Operating System.

Other features include: Wi-Fi, 3G data access, optical joystick, GPS, microSD memory expansion, and a 3.5mm headset jack.
