Anyone seriosuly looking at the new DROID?

Well I took my Eris back and picked up the Incredible this morning. This is one bad-ass phone. Definitely the fastest phone I have ever had. No slow-down at all when moving between apps and screens. Well worth the extra cash I laid down.

The one downside that I read was that it was tough to see in direct sunlight, but it isn't nearly as bad as the reviewers said.

How long did it last? Thinking about getting one. If you are a current customer and order through wirefly.com you get it for $150. Some other site I looked at you could get it for $100 if you were a new custo.

I ended up getting mine for $120 plus tax shipped. I got $50 off with their new every Two program, and then I was given a coupon code for an additional $30 off, which they were able to apply even after I had already ordered the phone... good through May 2nd I think.

I havent really let the battery die yet, but after charging it at around 4pm yesterday, the phone had half charge at around 10ish... while I was showing it off a bit, I wouldnt call it heavy use. However, I charged it all night last night, took it off around 6am. Right now the battery meter is showing almost full less a small bit. I'll report back at the end of the day.

Mind you, Im used to my blackberry that I could go 3 or 4 days without charging.

Yes, the battery could be better. The Eris didn't last as long as this one does, so I am happier with that. It's a trade-off I guess. I could go days on my old phone, but it was only a phone with limited internet. So you take the good with the bad.
