HTC Vigor Arriving As Droid Incredible HD On October 13?

You are in an Android Post

When we see inconsistencies in leaked documents that cross our path, our Spidey sense goes all a-tingling ? fake or mistake? People make typos, and internal documents not meant for public consumption aren't going to get the same level of scrutiny as a press release might (not that we haven't seen our share of typos there). Then again, what could be a copy-and-paste gaffe might just as easily point to a shoddy hoax job. It's with this balancing act on our mind that we turn to the latest rumor to pop up, that the HTC Vigor will be coming to Verizon as the Droid Incredible HD on October 13.

While much of the screenshot at the source of this information looks legit enough, there's a troubling contradiction where two subsequent bullet points describe the smartphone's screen as first WVGA, and then the 720p HD we were expecting; it can't very well be both.

We were starting to think Vigor would be the phone's retail name, but there's some logic to the Incredible HD. After all, we've also heard that the Vigor would become the Thunderbolt 2, and the original Thunderbolt was first on our radar as the Incredible HD.

For now, this rumor is definitely interesting, and we'll be keeping an eye on the thirteenth, but given the circumstances, we'll wait for something more in the way of confirmation before we start accepting it.

Droid Incredible Gingerbread Update Looks Back On-Track

You are in an Android Post

When HTC tweeted yesterday that the Droid Incredible would be getting a long-overdue Gingerbread update sometime in September, we assumed that meant "in a couple weeks". We're still flipping our calendars forward, and there are already signs that the update is nearly upon us, with Verizon updating its Incredible support pages in advance of the update.

As we've discussed many times in the past, this doesn't necessarily mean that the update is imminent, but it's more likely than not that we'll see it within a matter of days. Case in point: Verizon was in the same position with the Incredible a couple weeks back, but ended up putting a stop to the update's distribution.

That code was version 4.06.605.2, and apparently it needed just a little more tweaking before Verizon was comfortable distributing it to its subscribers, because now we're up to 4.06.605.3. The list of new features doesn't give us much of a clue what's been changed since 605.2, so we're left assuming it's a bugfix of some kind or another.

Be on the lookout for the Incredible Gingerbread update to start trickling out anytime now.

HTC Giving Gingerbread to Droid Incredible, Thunderbolt in Sept.

You are in an Android Post

The HTC Droid Incredible has had a long, convoluted path leading towards its future Gingerbread update. We've seen leaks, then outright denials that the smartphone would ever get Gingerbread. That didn't last, and then Verizon looked ready as of a couple weeks ago to start sending the update out. Once again, things cooled down, and though there have been more leaks, we're still waiting for the actual OTA update.

Gingerbread on the Thunderbolt has always seemed like more of a sure thing, not quite hitting the same speedbumps the Incredible did. Of course, it's had its own problems with buggy updates doing more harm than good, and has seen its share of Gingerbread leaks of its own. We were told that the phone should see an official OTA Gingerbread update by October, and that's now looking quite certain.

All these trials should soon be behind the pair, at least according to HTC. The company tweeted today that the updates for both models will be released sometime during September. Of course, Verizon still needs to sign-off on things, but it's a positive step in the right direction.
