You will have to try it out for yourself and see how you feel, but we feel that the Nexus One is much more comfortable to generally hold and use with one hand. The last thing we would like to point out about the hardware is that while the phone seems to be ridiculously well manufactured, we can't seem to shake this plasticky, dare we say cheap feeling when using it.
The front half of the phone seems to be made of a lower grade plastic and kind of takes away from the otherwise spectacular experience.
HTC has been gunning for the throne lately though, they already have it with powerful, sexy hardware, and since the screen on a touchscreen device is one of the most important parts, it is nice to see these high resolution displays being introduced by them left and right.
The Incredible features a 3. At first, we could not figure out why the colors were so dull, but after turning off the automatic brightness feature, we realized the phone just uses a little dimmer brightness setting compared to the Nexus One probably for battery life.
Once we dialed the brightness all the way up, colors literally popped, whites were perfectly white, text looked crisp, and we started loving the screen even more. As far as usability, everything seems well. Touches were registered with relative ease, and there were no misfires. HTC has carved out a great arsenal of capacitive touch displays, second to only you-know-who, but we still hate looking at the capacitive points on the display.
You can see them really easily. The capacitive layer is different as well — the outcome is still the same, and they are both great performers, but we kind of prefer the Nexus One's screen just a tiny bit more. Android 2. It is far from it actually, thanks to HTC's construction of a custom UI, applications, social integrations, and even their own keyboard. HTC's implementation can be a little more consumer friendly at times than Google's base OS, but at the same time, there are 7 homescreen pages, widgets flying out of Eyjafjallajokull's volcano, raindrops and fog appearing on your screen, and some more sexy stuff.
The best bet if you are looking at both phones is to try them out in stores and see which one is less intimidating for you. Or more if you go for that kind of thing, you sicko. Wait, a phone that actually makes clear and crisp phone calls? In ? You must be kidding me. But we're not, the HTC Droid Incredible coupled with Verizon's famous-for-kicking-in-the-other-carrier's-teeth network makes for a really pleasant adventure.
Phone calls were loud and clear on both the earpiece and also when using the speakerphone capability. Callers heard us just fine, and we haven't dropped a single call while testing the phone. Unfortunately, there is one area of the device's phone performance that is a little troubling, though probably not the end of the world.
Overall, it works as advertised, but the smaller size of the button makes it a bit awkward at first. In general, we used it mostly to scroll and select a smaller item on a Web site, such as a link, and used the touch screen for everything else. There are very few other physical buttons on the Droid Incredible.
On the left side, there's a volume rocker and a Mini-USB port and on top of the device, you'll find a power button and 3. As with most all handsets, the camera and in this case, the dual LED flash, are housed in the back but what's unusual about the Droid Incredible is the back's topographic design and the phone's innards.
Instead of a smooth surface, the battery door has bumps and ridges, and it's only after you pop it off that you realize it actually follows the lines of the internal parts of the phone.
You'll notice that the insides of the phone are red. Does it add any value to the smartphone? But can we appreciate that HTC wanted to highlight some of the engineering that went into the device and make it beautiful inside and out?

While there will be purists who prefer the standard Android skin, in most cases, we'd choose a device running Sense, and we think it's something that actually gives the Droid Incredible a competitive advantage.
Out of all our custom skins for Android Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc. Not only does it give Android a more user-friendly interface, it actually, in many cases, improves on the core functions by better integrating the features. This includes a revamped mail widget that can take you to a list view of all your e-mail instead of just one message at a time.
Once in the mail app, there's a handy tabbed interface at the bottom that lets you view unread messages, attachments, meeting invites, and more with a simple touch. The Agenda widget also now displays your whole agenda on the screen, and like the HTC HD2, you get an animated weather widget right on the home screen that automatically displays the current conditions based on your location. You also get a new Group Contacts widget, which lets you, well, organize your contacts by groups.
For example, you can set up one for work colleagues, another for friends, and another for just family--whatever you please. The UI looks good, and it's simple to add contacts to a group, though removing them requires a few extra steps.
Another feature called Friend Stream provides a single place for all your social-networking needs, piping in updates from Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr all into a single place. Unlike Motoblur, it's not server-based; the phone connects to the sites and pulls information directly from there. By far, our favorite new feature, however, is the Leap screen. By pinching the home screen or pressing the home button if you're on the center panel , it brings up a thumbnail view of all your home screen panels, so if you have your favorite apps and widgets on those screens, you easily "leap" to the screen you want and access them.
The Droid Incredible offers seven home screen panels, and there are different "Scenes," which presents a whole new set of seven home screen panels that you can customize by the theme of the Scene Social, Work, Travel, Play, and so forth. Admittedly, it can be overwhelming, but the best part is that you can use as many or as few of the features as you want; the device is completely customizable to your needs.
HTC throws in a couple of its own extras as well, including its Twitter app, Peep, and Footprints, which allows you to geotag photos and add notes and audio clips to the "digital postcards," among other things. There's a setup wizard when you first use to the device to help you bring in all your contacts from your various accounts, including the aforementioned e-mail types, Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. Often it's as simple as entering your user name and password, but you may need additional information when setting up your Exchange account.
The Droid Incredible can sync your Exchange calendar and contacts as well. That said, we had some initial problems syncing our Exchange calendar to the Droid Incredible and had to remove and then add our account again to get it to work. The contact management system is pretty good. If any of your contacts have Facebook updates, it will display them right next to their picture in the contact database.
