As a recent iPhone convert, the HTC Incredible 2 is the first Android-based phone I've ever owned. I decided on the Incredible 2 primarily because I needed world phone capabilities, and this was the latest model to offer such support. Overall I'm very happy with the Incredible 2. The GSM functionality works great and is easily toggled off and on as I travel. The battery life is respectable and on par with my previous iPhone model. The display and camera quality are very impressive, and I really like the simple almost minimalist design of the device in general. So far HTC has been good about keeping the software up to date and a Gingerbread upgrade was available as soon as I unboxed mine. Better yet, the device is easily rooted and Cyanogenmod fully supports the model, so it should receive upgrade love for quite some time to come- official or not.
