Design:
Both the Motorola DROID X and HTC Droid Incredible are black in color, but their design similarities end there. The DROID X is a larger phone in height and width (5.02” x 2.57”), but is still relatively thin at 0.39”, though there is a bit of a hump at the top, which houses the 8MP camera. The DROID X is constructed out of metal, which feels solid and durable in the hand, but still comfortable to hold, thanks to the soft-touch coating. Meanwhile, the Droid Incredible is more compact (4.63” x 2.3”) and comes in about 0.88oz less weight, but it has an all plastic construction and lacks the feeling of durability of the DROID X. It really comes down to personal preference here, if you prefer a more compact phone that is lighter weight, or want something a tad larger with a more solid construction.One of the highlights of the HTC Droid Incredible is its WVGA resolution AMOLED display, though “only” coming in at 3.7” diagonal. The advantage of AMOLED is its high contrast ratio with complete black-levels and its excellent viewing angles. We found that colors on the Droid Incredible have plenty of “pop”, but were also warm, which was most noticeable in white areas, as they have a pinkish hue. The AMOLED display was also challenging to view outside in direct sunlight, even when turning the brightness all the way up. In comparison, the Motorola DROID X uses a traditional WVGA resolution TFT display, which however really dwarfs the 3.7” one of the Droid Incredible when placed next to it. Colors on the DROID X look more natural, instead of being over-saturated and warm like on the Droid Incredible, but contrast, black levels, and viewing angles do suffer a bit since it is TFT. Though when used outside in the sun, the display on the DROID X was brighter and easier to read, so this is a clear advantage. Between the two, we prefer the display on the Motorola DROID X, due to its larger size, accurate colors, excellent resolution, and usability in sunlight.At first glance, they seem similar because of their large glass screens and the Android 2.1 OS, but the Droid X is technically superior. While both feature an eight megapixel camera and the ability to record video, the Droid X records video in HD and has an HDMI output. The Droid X's screen is larger, too; the 4.3-inch touchscreen with 854x480 pixel display beats the Incredible's 3.7-inch, 800x480px screen. Both phones come with 8GB of internal memory, but the Droid X supports up to 32 additional GB of removable Micro SD storage for a total of 40GB; the Incredible only supports 16GB of additional storage to total 24GB. And while the Droid X will ship with Android 2.1, the upgrade to 2.2 will become available later this Summer for all Android handsets.
With a technically superior phone offered at the same price, my guess is that the price on the Incredible will eventually drop. It's not a bad phone — as evidenced by its sales record — but for high-quality video or apps requiring more memory, the Droid X is a better bet
