@mipa I can't believe people still actually want a physical keyboard on their mobile phones. Waste of space and weight.

What we really need is to improve upon is predictive typing and voice dictation software as a final nail in the physical keyboard's coffin.

All that aside... Yes, the Micro SD slot is nice, and I presume that it has a replaceable battery (the HTC One series has neither of these) but why did they give it a measly 1.2 GHz dual core processor...? Trying to expel inventory? If the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE had the now standard 1.5 GHz quad core, I would buy it immediately. But due to this failing, I will pass.

Likewise, I am passing on the HTC One series for lacking a Micro SD slot and replaceable battery.

Hey HTC, you're not Apple, stop trying to copy them. The Micro SD and battery swapability was the whole reason I bought my DInc in the first place, now you give me no reason NOT to buy an iPhone... Dummies.

You honestly expected htc to mar the Incredible line of phones with a keyboard? Please pass on it, I don't want a clunky keyboard on mine.

Just download swiftkey x or swiftkey 3 beta. They've perfected predictive typing

You really don't know that much about this stuff do you? Even if the Qualcomm S4 is clocked at 1.2, you can easily overclock to 1.5 Ghz if you root it. Likewise, Qualcomm's S4 Krait with A15 architecture pretty much outperforms any other dualcore out there, including all the junk TI OMAPs on Razrs and GNexuses.

I believe the article mentioned that the Droid Incredible 4G LTE will have the expandibility for storage.

While the Droid Incredible 4G LTE has many specs similar to HTC’s One line of phones (which includes the One X, One S and One V), this is one big difference. Those phones don’t have expandable memory.

...implying that the phone does have expandable memory.

Its dual-core...you actually don't think that si enough? Really? Other than viewing web pages, palying a few games, hw much more procrssing power do you need. The games on the device in most cases uses less than 256MB of RAM. Most of that power in the 1.2 you won't even use. And you askign for 1.5? Really? 1.5 is the normal by your saying? Funny the 4S doesn't have nothing above 1Ghz...

You obviously don't need a phone, you need a laptop or netbook sporting such.
With more speed comes more consequences. You ever notice when it comes to tablets, pc's and smartphones they all have one thing in common. As they get faster the applicatiosn acrry more bloat to slow them down.

Please explain what you could possibly need 1.2Ghz of power for on a smartphone.
