The main photo at the top of the review is not the Incredible but rather the HTC Supersonic. I've had the Incredible for 2 days now. My very brief review: feels nice in the hand, great Google integration, sweet camera, many functions take one more step/button-press than on the iPhone, calls work.
If you're looking to get one, I'd say the overall thing that blows me away is the performance in general. I've never used a more responsive phone- that includes the iphone. Sense UI, is better than I thought. In fact, I thought I was gonna flash it and put stock android on there, but now I think next time if I don't get an HTC, I might flash it and put sense on it.
Only downer is batter life- but that's an issue with most phones.
On the front of the device you've got... four touch-sensitive hard buttons Hard buttons are fine, but please, please don't make them touch-sensitive.
I think it's feasible to hit them without looking as is, with just the haptic feedback. And in the dark, they light up. But yes, full physical buttons will still have an advantage in some scenarios.
One thing to note though: it comes with a different mail application than Droid's, and that mail application silently bombs on self-signed SSLs. So, if you want to use SSL with your POP or IMAP account, in some cases you'll hit "Next" after setting up the server information, the mail program will go to "Verifying account information" for a bit, then come back to the same screen you were already on without any warnings.
Otherwise -- honestly, having used iPhones and an iPad recently, I found myself thinking that it still wasn't an iPhone killer, which is sad. I'd really like to see a solid iPhone killer on the market.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

The biggest problem I have with them is that they're prone to accidental presses. Also, there's no feedback of any sort--soft touch-sensitive buttons at least offer some visual feedback.

How's the touchscreen? The thing I've always hated about Android devices was the jerky scrolling on web pages, as apposed to how it's silky smooth on the iPhone/pad.
