Droid Incredible Officially Announced: Pre-Order April 19th

When we grabbed a screenie the other day of the Verizon Wireless site showing off the Incredible, we started talking about adding it to the lineup of phones we cover here.  While we’re still undecided as to that actually happening, it should still be noted that HTC and Verizon made the release date official today.
