The product is amazing..seems just what i wanted.. Its can do almost everything that you can expect from a smart phone.. I am lucky one to get the 2.3.3 Android OS upgrade in first week. I use most of the application with WiFi, but the 3G also works good. The GPS is ok.. cannot compare with Garmin GPS. The phone has actually relieved me from using my laptop to keep updated with my mails and FB and other online friends.. there's much more that you will like in this phone..
I was looking for almost 2 months and then decided to go for this. I am actually a Nokia fan, but with this product i really think Nokia Symbian OS has to go a long way !

PROS
Incredible S is a very capable device with good battery and worths the money depending on what meets your fancy.
It comes off as a sturdy looking device, easy to grip, good internal storage and offers a very good camera functionality.
The Incredible S is running with a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon CPU supported by a plentiful 768MB of RAM and 1.1GB of ROM. The Super LCD display is four-inch and WVGA 800x480 resolution. The Super LCD screen on the Incredible S exhibited top-notch color reproduction, excellent contrast, and terrific outdoor screen visibility (not very far from Super AMOLED)
Battery life on the Incredible S was very, very good, thanks to its relatively large 1450mAh battery. Under a heavy use scenario, you'll get through a day and a half. With moderate use it can go about two full days.
For radios there is Wi-Fi (with N support), Bluetooth, FM, and UMTS with HSPA+ support. It can do UMTS 900/1700/2100, allowing it to work in Europe or on T-Mobile in the USA. The camera on the back can take 8MP photos and 720p videos
The Incredible S does also a neat trick...the buttons can rotate when you flip the phone into landscape!
There is also notification LED notification (for me is essential!!!!!) behind the top speaker grill which blinks green when you have a new email, SMS, or missed call (configurable in Settings), or glows amber when charging.
The Incredible S ships with Android 2.2.1, but HTC already made available a refreshed version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. I will install this weekend...
From a performance point of view the Incredible S (Quandrant 1518) has nearly identical specs when compared to the Desire HD and on top of Nexus One, Moto Droid X and Samsung Galaxy S...
CONS
- Doesn't has dual-core (not real important since the apps are not optimized yet to dual core processors)
- Lack of video out could be an issue (not important for me)
- HTCSense.com is not working properly for this phone (not really the phone to blame)

I bought two of these phones and they are wonderful. I won't get into tech specs since it has been covered by many mobile sites. The phone itself is pretty slim and feels good in the hand (easier to handle than my HD2). With moderate to heavy use I only notice a about a 40% drop at the end of the day, so I estimate one could easily get 2+ days of use before recharge. My HD2 with froyo would use approx 70% a day doing same the tasks.
As for apps they all work as they should, along with Tango which works perfectly for me. Also I'm not sure if its Google blocking certain apps for compatibility issues since this phone is so new but many apps I use I can't find on android market anymore i.e. Angry birds (all except beta),system panel, es file explorer and a few others. I did side load them but since I didn't install them from market I don't get the option to update which kinda sucks. Also one phone came with the updated market place (the one with the green design)and that one received the upgrade to Android 2.3.3 as soon as I connected to a wifi hotspot and the other came with the older market (the grey one) and didn't get a prompt for Gingerbread even if I try to manually search for update it comes back saying "No system Update Available For Your Device". Also Updating to 2.3.3 doesn't lock your phone just in case anyone was wondering.
I got both phones from FGS Trading and both units were brand new, all protective wrapping was still on the phones and all accessories were included. Shipping was also very quick as I got them like 3 days before the estimate arrival date. The phones I received were Chinese models which came with 3 language options, 2 Chinese ones and English (Hong Kong SAR), a free 8GB Sandisk class 2 microsd card, Htc headset, micro usb cable and Htc usb charger with a 3 pin Chinese/UK head and also a UK to Us adapter which works fine. I really don't see an issue with the adapter because it works but us buyers can just get the official HTC us head. We use UK 3 pins plugs locally so it was perfect for me.
UPDATE 18/6/2011 - All the apps I noticed I could no longer find on the market place are back (Angry birds etc.). There is a slight echo on voice calls, you can hear yourself echo but the person can't hear it. 720p video seems less jittery with 2.3.3 upgrade but maybe it's just me. Alpharev is coming out with a s-on root really soon so maybe you should hold off updating to 2.3 because I'm not sure if it will support Gingerbread.
UPDATE 15/8/2011 - The slight echo I mentioned disappeared one day and never returned. Phone has been great and has easily produced 2.5 days of light to moderate use on a single charge (this is with data off btw). Only issue is wifi coverage, it is really poor versus my hd2. Max reach is about 30ft away thru 2 6" cinder block walls from router. HD2 would get about double the range before it lost connection. As of writing I have sold this phone to upgrade to a Galaxy S2 and the speed difference is amazing but the build quality with the incredible is better in my opinion.
