It is quite the device I must say. Rocking Android 2.3 with Sense, this is one smoking hot phone."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/adt/auto/1300233856.usr309.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>They're not great pictures but there are pictures as well as some spec's listed.&nbsp; I was glad to see the 4" screen on it and a higher capacity battery Than the first Droid Incredible.&nbsp; It has 768MB of RAM which I think is great and the second generation Snapdragon Adreno 205 GPU in there.&nbsp; It is also listed as having 4GB of internal storage.&nbsp; The first time around the Droid Incredible had a 1GB storage area that behaved like the internal storage of all other Android phones and it had an additional 8GB storage area that behaved like a MicroSDHC card.&nbsp; It had a MicroSDHC card slot as well.&nbsp; While it has less total internal storage I think the 4GB main storage will be more useful than the 1GB and 8GB were together because it would have been a pain to manage apps on such small main storage.&nbsp; They also went with a Super LCD instead of an AMOLED which I think is a good move because of battery life and improved visibility outside.&nbsp; I'm not convinced you need a 40,000/1 contrast ratio on your phone and I hate apps and themes all being made black just to save battery life.&nbsp; If they were able to keep the physical size of the phone about the same this is one sweet device in my book!&nbsp; What do you think, do you like the changes?&nbsp; Will this be your next Android phone?</p>

In some European countries, this device is already available, but it doesn't have 2.3 it has Froyo and update promised by HTC.

Also it has 2GB internal storage not 4GB with "only" around 1GB available for applications.

Thanks for the notes! I guess the US version could be a little different and ship with 2.3. 2GB is a little small for the built-in storage these days. Hopefully the US one will have 4GB as the main built-in storage. But 2GB is still better than the 1GB in the first Dinc.

So if you're looking into the Dinc2 make sure you double check those specs and you're happy with them!

It is possible that US version will be a bit different, but it is typical HTC.
They reuse a succesfull HW in some of their models, the Incredible S internal HW (CPU, memory...) is practically identical to their Desire HD and the upcoming Desire S, the only difference is screen size.
