HTC has created a phone for people who like to take pictures with a phone. Modestly named Droid Incredible, the phone pairs an 8-megapixel camera with a bright 3.7-inch Amoled screen.
Amoled screens — for Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode — are known for their bright colors and fine detail as well as low power consumption.
The camera also has two LED flashes, so it can capture images even in low light.
The Incredible is on the Android operating system, so you can add a photo-editing program like Mobile, PicSay or Foxy Photo Editor, and have a pretty decent pocket darkroom.
The phone comes with Flickr installed for sharing your snaps.
Verizon stores will have it Thursday (preorders begin today).
It is priced at $200 after rebate with a contract.
The phone is powered by a speedy Snapdragon processor and has an optical joystick, touch screen, GPS, Wi-Fi and a 3.5-mm headphone jack. Roy Furchgott
