Pocketnow has released the photos of a new HTC handset named Incredible from Verizon that’s in the making. The phone features Android 2.1 & dual flash LED. It’s running with a Snapdragon CPU with 256MB of RAM, and has a 3.5-3.7″ WVGA screen. The screen might be AMOLED. The Incredible features an optical mouse pointer towards the bottom of the device.
Here is the link to the video.

I read the news this morning that Google and Verizon announced a partnership to leverage Verizon’s 3G network and Android based mobile phones from Verizon that will make use of the speed of the 3G network. The two industry leaders will create, market and distribute products and services, with Verizon Wireless also contributing the breadth of its nationwide distribution channels. Consumers will be able to purchase products resulting from the collaboration in Verizon Wireless retail and online stores.
I was debating whether I should continue with Verizon or move over to AT&T. I was happy with Verizon’s service so far, but their choice of smartphones are poor. AT&T has a good selection of smartphones and the advantage of the rollover minutes, but their service is spotty and poor. I also read the complaints about indifferent speed using iPhones. Now that Verizon and Google announced the partnership, I might as well wait and see what they are going to offer.

This is what happens if you use computers without having any basic knowledge about the computer world (News). The first mistake she made was ordering a laptop without reading the details. She could have avoided all these mess if she had read the product specifications properly.
The second mistake was listening to the Dell support guy and not returning the laptop immediately.
The 3rd mistake (one of the 2 dumbest things she did) was trying to install Verizon high speed internet software using Windows based installation CD. I use Verizon high speed internet. You don’t need that CD at all to get it to work. It works fine in my Ubuntu system.
The 4th mistake (another dumb one) was not checking to see if Ubuntu has any software equivalent to Microsoft Office. It comes with OpenOffice. If her institution (MATC) says you have to use only Microsoft Office, then it’s not worth studying there, but MATC promised to accept any of Schubert’s papers or class documents using whatever software she has installed. If you don’t like OpenOffice, then you have Google Apps.
I hope she changes her mind once she starts using Ubuntu. Since the laptop came with preinstalled Ubuntu, all the hardwares should work fine. It’s not very difficult to learn and once you learn, it’s pretty easy to use.
