Review: HTC Droid Incredible 2

HTC Droid Incredible 2

Just got my Incredible 2 last week. Pretty nice so far, but my biggest problem is the syncing of my yahoo and gmail e-mail. When I read an e-mail on my PC, it doesn't show up as read on my phone. So I have to read it twice to clear it out. Is that how it's supposed to work? I'm new to Android altogether, but my windows mobile phone would sync and show my e-mails as read no matter where I read them (PC or on the phone). Anybody?

I recently upgraded from a Incredible to the Incredible 2. On the old phone there was a specific app called "clock" where i used the alarm clock feature. On my new phone i dont see that app...does this phone not have a alarm clock? If it does, can you tell how i can get to it please.

Like i know if you have that option checked your phone will boot up faster after turned off.... Are there any positive or negatives for having this feature activated/on??

Okay, I posted this in another thread, but I really should have just started a new one. I didn't realize I would be limited to 2000 characters when posting under the Reviews tab. So I am re-posting my original review here, in case anyone who reads my short review wants to read my full version (they can find it easier).

I have had my DINC2 for not quite 2 full days now, and so far I am LOVING it! It is very similar to the original, which as I've said before, is fine by me. It's why I've chosen to stick with HTC for a long time to come. They may not have changed it up dramatically, but it's still a worthy follow-up.
I noticed the Dinc2 has skins now, which I like because it gives you the option of having a different looking interface from...

I got my HTC Incredible 2 few days ago. However, I just realized that the Current location set in the World Clock page is set on the America/Detroit. However, I am in Virginia now. I couldn't change the Current location to my current city. Any one knows how to fix this problem? Thanks.

...definitely not worthy to be the successor to the original DI.

With 3G only, single core, laughable internal storage, no Gingersense, and 480x800 resolution, they totally screwed this up. Consumers who want an okay, 3G, single-core solution will go with the Thunderbolt. The DI2 is a joke device. It should have been released on April 1st.

Good comparison here:

In the very near future, Verizon is going to find itself stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Just wondering I got the phone on may 1st and it has shut it self off 2x. The battery was fully changed.anybody else seen this problem? thanks for any help

Just got the Dinc2 and was wondering if anyone else noticed that the phone does not vibrate when connecting a call like the Dinc1?

i mean i may be off base but i was under the impression that this phone would also be a 4g? while i know that verizon will continue to be offering 3g but i mean isnt this supposed to be a 4g phone? if it isnt a 4g phone that makes me worry that the rumored droid x2 will really be just a 3g phone 😢

I decided to get the Dinc 2 today. First impression is very good. I'm coming from the enV Touch, not a different smartphone, so this is a big step up. The upgrade price in the store was the same as online, however there was an upgrade fee of $20. That was the only charge I wasn't expecting. I don't know if that charge would have been included had I ordered from the website, but no big deal.

The rep activated the phone and downloaded all my contacts (I had been using the backup assistant on the env touch). I also setup my gmail account and made sure my mail and calendar were syncing. The rep wanted to sell me an accessories pack and when I declined he made a point about needing to keep the case and screen flawless if I wanted to b...

I'm surprised to see that there are still no reviews for this phone. I'm really excited to hear more about it and see if it's worth getting. I have the Incredible now, and I love everything about it except the battery life - I'm changing it 3 times per day currently, and yes I use Advanced Task Killer. If the battery on the Incredible 2 is enough of an improvement I may get it. What I like about it so far (just based on specs) is that it's about the same size as the original incredible - a lot of new phones now that are coming out are huge. It's supposed to be a bit quicker as well, and with a different battery I'm hoping that battery life will improve.

For me right now it's between the Incredible 2 and iPhone4. Or wait for something els...
