The color options are nice, but I would much rather hear that Moto and Verizon are putting out an OTA ICS update today.
BTW, the average buyer has no clue what Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread is and many want the thinnest phone available. Your readers know about the Maxx and why its a better option, but most will see the thinner lower priced RAZR and go for that.

The new Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is mid-tier. Smaller, slightly lower-res screen than current flagships, underclocked version of a top-tier SoC. It will probably be cheaper than top of the line 4G phones on Verizon, although why anyone would pick this over a $150 Galaxy Nexus I don’t understand.
Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE Specs: - Carrier: Verizon - Available: May 26, 2011 - Networks: CDMA:800, 1900 MHz; LTE, EV-DO Rev.A - Display: 4-inch qHD (960×540) Super LCD display (with Corning Gorilla Glass) - Camera: 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash, BSI f/2.2, ; VGA front-facing camera28mm lens and 1080p HD video recording - Operating system: Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 4.0 - Input: Touch Screen - CPU: 1.2Ghz dual-core Qualcomm S4 processor - Memory: 1GB of RAM - Memory card: microSD, microSDHC - Storage: 8GB of internal storage - Connectivity: WiFi, 3.5mm headphone jack, Beats Audio - Battery: 1700 mAh removable battery - Talk Time: - Standby Time: - Dimensions: 4.8 x 2.4 x .46 inches - Weight: 132 grams (4.66 ounces) - Other: G-Sensor, Light Sensor, Digital Compass, Proximity Sensor
This phone is an instant winner. Already better than the One S thanks to the removable battery, microSD expansion, and non-pentile screen. Don’t mind the lower clock speed, it’s marginally lower.
I like the screen size… larger screens are useless to me, 4 inch is ideal. The new Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LET phone should be decently smaller, but the Galaxy Nexus helps make up for it with all of its sexy curves. Not every single new phone needs to be better than all that have come before. So the incredible line has dropped down to a mid-level phone, no harm in that. I think it’s a really great mid-level phone, and that’s probably a smart thing for Verizon to have. Not everyone wants or needs the bleeding edge of quad cores and gargantuan screen sizes.
That’s actually a slick color! The Droid RAZR is a great phone ,super smooth , awesome amoled screen, and believe it or not the new Moto Blur is really nice and has a ton of cool features. Overall this is a good phone its quick, responsive and its display is utterly amazing. Many complain of battery power, but if you know how to set the battery settings, you will be quite happy with this phone.

I think the new Samsung Galaxy S III is a really nice looking phone. It’s simple looking. I like simple looking. Also, having a MicroSD is a huge selling point for me. I’m disappointed in the screen. Other than the underwhelming physical design it’s exactly what I was hoping for. It has a larger user accessible battery and a MicroSD slot. As long as the price point is reasonable I think it will be my next phone. International version seems very promising. Let’s hope the US version doesn’t get stripped of the quad core. Samsung Galaxy S III Specs: – 4.8-inch 1280×720 Super AMOLED touchscreen (306ppi pixel density) – quad-core 1.4 GHz Samsung Exynos processor – 8 MP autofocus camera with ‘zero shutter lag’ and 1080p Full HD video recording – front-facing 1.9 MP camera with 720p HD video capability – 1 GB of RAM – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC – 2,100 mAh battery – microSIM – blue and white color versions – Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz 4 – 136.6mm x 70.6mm x 8.6mm

Let me just first say that the phone looks really nice. It looks very sleek and comfortable to hold. However all these pictures are great but lets not kid ourselves here, the US variants will be different than the international versions. I guarantee that the AT&T, Sprint and Tmobile versions will not have the single button on the bottom of the screen. Instead they will opt to have the soft buttons (Back, Home, and Multitask) like the HTC One X. The AT&T and Tmobile version will look pretty much like these photos above but I expect Sprint will make modifications or rename the product like the Epic 4G Touch. Also the US versions won’t be using the quad core Exynos chip since it doesn’t support LTE. I can bet that they will be using the S4 dual core chip like the One X.
The Samsung Galaxy S III release date is sooner rather than later – the S III will launch globally in May, and a 4G LTE version it will come to the US later on this summer… The S III will be available from the end of May in Europe before rolling out to other markets globally.
