HTC Incredible

Well yesterday was the big day...I was finally able to pre-order the HTC Incredible. It has been a long 3 months, that is fore sure. Back in February I came to the end of my 2 year contract with At&t and it could not come quick enough. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone but the reception was and is horrendous. I was thinking about jumping on the Motorola Droid bandwagon but the slide out keyboard just is not my forte. Then there was talk of Verizon receiving the Nexus One...I really was considering it, but then again who wants a trackball that gets full of junk and inevitably breaks (I have had experience with this...my old blackberry).

This is why I am so excited all the rumors have been true about the Incredible and it coming to Verizon. Everything it has from the screen to the processor to the UI and 2.1. Give it to me Verizon...Give it to me!!! April 29th can not come soon enough. Once I get the phone I will give a thorough compare/contrast between the HTC Incredible and the iPhone. Trust me, I know which one is going to win.

Reply from Toy Waterman with reguard to my presentation at the Technology Conference

Josh, words can't explain how great it was seeing you up there presenting to your colleagues!! You have so much to offer and now you are sharing your knowledge and experiences with others. I heard so many comments in the afternoon about how much they learned from you. You influenced many, many students by sharing with the educators there. They represented hundreds of students that will have a chance to experience your ideas through the teachers attending TIC.
We are working on the TIC video and will have it available soon. Once up, I will contact you.
Again, thank you greatly!!!
