The Incredible released for Verizon Wireless after Google announced it would not be manufacturing the Nexus One smart phone for the wireless service provider.  Google’s Android operating system is present on the HTC made Incredible which became available to Verizon customers April 29.  After seeing the early reviews on Twitter and elsewhere and having been holding out for the Nexus One, I too made leap to the Incredible.

The majority of the first day reviews were positive:
