I Swear - I Just Went In To Look

 Well, I had to see if the Droid Incredible really was. So, yesterday afternoon, I headed down to the local Verizon Wireless store to check out the new phone. The delivery had been delayed, and many buyers were going after the instant rebates and discounts at Best Buy and online. So, the store had just gotten in 30 new Incredibles. The salesman was just as eager as I was to look at this speedy, beautiful new Droid. I fell in love immediately. I left the store with two new Incredibles, one for my and one for She Who Must Be Obeyed. The Moto Droid I was using is now in the hands of my son. I have to wait for the rebate now, and I spent $50 more than I would have online; but, this phone is amazing. The Snapdragon processor is much faster than the original Droid or iPhone, for that matter. It has an 8 megapixel camera that will make point and shoot digital cameras obsolete. I know I sound like a fanboy, and the first glitch will really frost me; but, if you are in the market for a new phone, you have got to look at this one. Android on steroids. Thinner than an iPhone. Lighter than air. Gorgeous screen. Snappy and sensitive touch screen. Great speaker. I think I may keep this one for a long time.

Have you tried to read the screen in bright sunlight? Is it as hard to read?

Is there any truth to the rumor that there is an email syncing issue with the Droids in which you can't retain a version or your email on your computer when you open it on your phone. If this is true, it poses a big problem for work use.

I don't use the inphone email solution, so I don't know. Since Gmail comes standard, I use it to sync with my Gmail account. Syncs are instantaneous and no problems. My Gmail is always the same on my phone and my computer. Any changes I make on either automatically appear on the other. If you sync to an office server, there might be a problem, but I don't know. Check the blogs and the forums with a Google search.

While I am thinking about it, can't you set the options on the Droid email client not to delete the emails from your server? then, you would have them when you used your computer to download them from the server?

I can't read anything in direct sunlight. So, I don't try. But, most modern cell phone screens are not very usable in direct sunlight. Get thee under a tree!
