HTC Incredible, HTC Evo Ship Dates Set up Huge Contest

The Verizon Wireless HTC "Incredible," which sold out on its first day, now is being promised for additional sales on May 14, 2010. The delay pushes back by about 10 days the gap between the next round of Incredible sales and the first wave of HTC "Evo" sales, now slated for either June 6 or June 13, 2010.

The difference sets up a sales war between the Incredible and the Evo, both based on the latest HTC hardware and both using Android. The Evo is a dual-mode 4G and 3G device, though. Verizon Wireless has about a month headstart, but both devices are quite comparable in most respects.

Evo has huge potential for Sprint and Verizon Wireless, as they might finally be devices that can appeal to users who might otherwise default to the Apple iPhone.
