Also like the Fascinate, this appears to be a very stable build of Ice Cream Sandwich as well meaning that those of you in possession of a rooted Droid Incredible 2 should definitely give this a try out.

With Android developers working hard at providing unofficial updates for the community, it makes you wonder if manufacturers are really doing the best job they can when it comes to official software updates. If you have an untouched Droid Incredible 2, then you are most likely to be running Android 2.3 Gingerbread after HTC issued an update earlier this year. However, the chances of the handset getting an official update to ICS 4.0 is probably pretty slim, as HTC opt to focus on newer handsets, which is why efforts like this from ProTekk and the RootsWiki forums are worth their weight in gold.

As for the update itself, you’ll be pleased to know that most of the main functions of the phone work as normal, this includes things like making calls, sending SMS messages, 3G and WiFi data, and there’s no problems with sound or the SD card either. However there’s a few features that don’t work according to ProTekk and these include the camera, Bluetooth, GPS and live wallpapers. On the plus side, the things that don’t work may get enabled in a future version of this ICS build, so don’t worry about these functions not working forever as that isn’t the case.

If you have a Droid Incredible 2 and want to try this out, you’ll find the download links and instructions here. Let us know how you get on and your reaction to this unexpected entry into Google’s latest mobile OS.

The guys over at Phone Arena have managed to get hold of some Verizon intel, and it confirms that both the Droid Incredible 2 and the Motorola Droid X 2 will be available for $199 on two-year contracts with Verizon. Just to let you know, this is the standard price that Verizon debuts for new handsets, although this has now changed for their 4G smartphones.

For example, the document also reveals that the upcoming LG Revolution will be priced at $249, which is a 4G LTE handset on Verizon and it’s also the same price as the current HTC Thunderbolt handset on Verizon – another 4G LTE phone.

It’s probably too harsh to say that this will result in the Droid Incredible 2 and Motorola Droid X 2 being labelled as ‘mid entry’ smartphones, rather than their 4G LTE premium devices as the price lists suggests, but we’ll just have to wait and see what both handsets offer in terms of hardware and features, as it’s still pure speculation at the moment.

What are your thoughts on the $199 price tags for the two phones – surprised or not?

The picture has been obtained by the guys over at Droid-Life, and it shows that one of the accessories will be a shell/holster combo case which also feaures a kickstand to watch videos or view other types of media.

The image also reveals that this item will be priced at $29.99 and we’re guessing that it will be made avaialble on launch day, whenever Verizon decide what that is. Since this is now out there, we have to presume that we’ll at least get an official confirmation this month, and maybe even a full retail launch at the end of the month if we’re lucky.

How many of you are interested in the Droid Incredible 2 though? We still don’t know official specs for the device, but we’re hearing that it will at least be coming equipped with a 1Ghz Tegra 2 dual-core processor – which is a good start. Hopefully Android 2.3 Gingerbread will be there as well.

Are you waiting for the announcement or are you not interested in this handset.

Images have been obtained by the guys over at PocketNow, but unlike other leaked images, these ones are apparently official press shots. That means that Verizon and HTC are now stepping up their efforts to get this device out for market, so don’t be surprised if we see the phone officially announced sometime during this month.

The pictures show the Verizon branding at the top, and a slightly different Droid-eye logo on the main screen. We don’t know official specs yet, but we’re praying that a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread will come as standard features – it is the true successor to the Incredible 2 after all, not like the HTC Incredible S which is already out.

Are you waiting for this device to release, or do you have your eyes set on another device such as the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S II or HTC EVO 3D, all of which are likely to be popular handsets of choice this year.

If you were watching the collection of handset reveals at Mobile World Congress, you were probably as disappointed as we were with the unveiling of the HTC Incredible S – a minor refresh to the popular Droid Incredible with pretty average hardware specs. You can find out what the handset offers in our previous report here.

That was before though, and now an image supposedly taken from Verizon’s internal database has revealed that another ‘Incredible’ handset is on the way – You can see the image over at AndroidandMe here.

We’re hoping that this is indeed the ‘true’ successor to the Droid Incredible, and it will come with second generation hardware specs that the title ‘Droid Incredible 2′ deserves. By this we’re talking about a dual-core processor of some sort, 1080p recording and playback, and an 8 megapixel camera with an equally decent front-facing camera for high quality video chat.

We’re not asking for much here HTC, so let’s hope they and Verizon make our visions a reality once this device is unveiled properly. Give us your thoughts on a possible ‘real’ successor to the Droid Incredible.
