[Update] Droid Incredible being sent out to pasture…already?
Take this with a grain of salt folks, but the picture above would lead us to believe that Verizon is putting out an early funeral for the Droid Incredible. At first, it seems pretty odd given that the device is only a couple of months old at best. But if you look at the Droid X and Droid 2 that are coming down the pipe line, the Incredible sort of loses it’s luster. Though if you’ve got a thing for HTC’s Sense UI, I can see why you’d pick the Incredible over either of the two newcomers. Still, the future of the Incredible isn’t looking so hot.
Update: Whew! Turns out there was second SKU for the Incredible. The SKU being phased out above is one that doesn’t ship with a memory card whereas the newer SKU that will continue selling does include said card. Carry on folks.
Fall into the Helio craze did you? Better keep that Ocean/Ocean2 in tip top shape because it appears those will be the last Helio branded devices ever. As Engadget points out, it never made sense of Virgin Mobile to hobble along supporting two different brands. Whether the exec’s at Virgin Mobile finally stopped tapping that funny kool-aid or they just came to their senses is a moot point. The fact of the matter is Helio branded devices are being erased from Virgin’s memory save for two lonely survivors seen above. What’s sort of odd is that the Helio Ocean 2 which was hardware wise a newer (hello captain obvious…is that you?) and ultimately better than the original Ocean has been nixed. In it’s place is the older, original Ocean. Another blow to the face is that the few remaining Helio devices are being referenced by their manufacturer’s names. Ouch. No love.
