Apr 17th
When the original Droid Incredible hit Verizon in April 2010, it was an immediate smash; it was proof Android was here to stay and a legitimate challenge to the iPhone.

The imminent HTC Droid Incredible 2 had its world roaming support backed up by a new staff memo detailing some of the new features.
