HTC Incredible S review: Smart and curvy

22 March 2011
The unfortunate naming aside (seriously, didn’t anyone say it out loud before they announced it?), the Incredible S is a pretty great smartphone. You’ve got spotless connectivity, an exciting new screen, those cool rotating buttons and...

I had this phone and enjoyed it. After reading GSMAreana review I bought this phone even the camera and few negative points made me hesitant to buy. Wrong decision though I liked the phone very much. I bought this phone for HTC Sense. The ring unlock, animated weather widget, HTC skins are pushed me to buy this phone.

          The charger part of the phone sucks it breaks easy but it's a good phone if u want to repair the charging part of the phone every year

                  I really like this phone but for me two critical things were overlooked by HTC. First, there is no notes app by default...downloading Note Everything fixed that though. Second, the standard video player does not resume, this is a real problem if you watch a movie and want to continue later. I downloaded MX Player which is much better than the standard anyway. Also the flexibility of the phone tones leaves something to be desired.

                        Thanks to biju

                        I am trying to buy Incredible S, any user please give me an exact statement of the audio qaulity, is it really uninspiring as some comments say.
                        can it change to better position with android 2.3 (gbeard)?

                                Am I blind (mice) or does this not have a slot for a micro sim card? I was given a mini sim and no adapter from the retailer. Are they wrong or am I blind?

                                      I just got this phone. As HTC promised, the new Gingerbread 2.3 update was already on the phone when in the box. The phone runs great, 700+ Ram is very helpful. Same with 1gb internal. + 16gb micro sd card already inside = :D . i wish they had some sought of lens protector tho as i always feel it mite get scratched .. not sure if lens cover is gorrilla glass? And can't really comment on video as my old phone only vga! audio is average, i wouldnt say its bad.. tho agn i cant really judge since i have nothin to compare it 2!

                                      But definately worth recommending! very happy wit it! :D
