yup its the same hardware except the incredible has a track pad instead of a ball and it runs the htc’s sense UI which can be turned off if you don’t like it. Sounds like a great alternative to buying the phone outside of a contract, something that i would rather do because im not leaving verizon anytime soon. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > android 2.1? you know it! I guess the downside is that the HTC UI gets updated less according to the phone nerds. I would love this phone with a slider or even a droid that has a track pad instead of the arrow button on the keyboard. That d-pad thing on the droid is useless. ---
