Droid Incredible 4G

Which new smartphone will be the first big hit of the summer? Click through the slideshow for my quick takes on the early contenders.

Look for this HTC phone to be a strong candidate for smartphone of the season. It's basically the One S now on T-Mobile, but it flies on Verizon's LTE 4G network, and benefits from a lot of goodwill around the Incredible brand. Beats audio, a nice 8-megapixel camera, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich provide a nice refresh. It won't be the highest-end phone around, but it will add a fresh face with a familiar name to Verizon's already powerful lineup of Android phones this summer.
