Virgin Mobile HTC Incredible S hands-on video including Bell Mobile TV app
At the beginning of April both Virgin Mobile and Bell Mobility released the HTC Incredible S Android smartphone, and HTC was kind enough to send us the Virgin version to review. You can check out my in-depth video look at the phone below.
Along with the Telus Desire HD, the Incredible S represents the best Android phone technology that HTC has to offer in Canada. That also means that the Incredible S is one of the best phones in Canada today – since I personally think that HTC makes the best on the market, iPhone 4 included. What makes it one of the best? Well it’s not just the specs, because on paper the 4” S-LCD screen, 1 GHz processor and Android 2.2 are no better than countless other Android phones from Samsung and Motorola. It is the overall quality of the HTC hardware – the soft-touch plastic back, the metal framed front & the feel of the phone in your hands – that makes them the best. It is also HTC’s Sense UI, which is widely considered the best Android UI outside of Google’s vanilla Android interface.
At the same time that the Incredible S was launched Bell also updated their Mobile TV application, and in the second video below I show off the new app. It is actually quite good, with a wide selection of both live and on-demand content – the only catch being that the standard $5 per ‘channel’ pack only lets you watch 10 hours a month before there are extra charges. At least there are no extra data charges, since Mobile TV use doesn’t count towards your cap.
You can find more information about Bell Mobile TV here.
The Virgin Mobile HTC Incredible S is $499.99 no term, and usually $49 on the Virgin Mobile SuperTab. More info can be found at Virgin Mobile here.
However if you are reading this on May 13th 2011 you can go to Best Buy Mobile and pick on up for free, on ‘Free Phone Fridays’.
