There's some info on AndroidForums that says the Incredible is using Gorilla Glass, which is what the Droid uses. I've never had a screen protector on my Droid and while there are knicks and scuffs all over it, the screen is still flawless.

I'm not taking any chances with the Incredible because honestly it does feel more fragile than my Droid does.

What do you think of the Incredible compared to your Droid?

To me it feels lighter. Not more fragile. The Droid (like the storm) is a hoss of a phone. That being said, I do have a case on the phone since I am concerned about impact damage. Just not so much about scratches to the screen.

Posted a few impressions between the two a while back. I got the Incredible because the Droid's physical keyboard was junk to me and I didn't use it anyway.

LED Notification: Droid is better at this hands down. While minor, this is probably the feature from my Droid I miss the most. It's really nice to be able to customize colors based on what type of notification versus being barely able to see the LED at all like on the Incredible.

Screen: This varies from person to person, but I think the Droid still has the advantage here. The touch sensor may not be as accurate but the color density and resolution is a lot better on the Droid IMO.

Form Factor: Incredible wins here. I've always thought the Droid felt like a brick so it's really no contest here.

Speed/Performance: Incredible wins again. The Droid is no slouch, especially when overclocked, but the Incredible is still a much faster experience overall for me.

Battery life: This is a moot point for me because my phones are always charging at work since my desk is practically in a basement. The battery life drains way too fast because regardless of whatever phone/carrier I have, it's always scanning for a better signal.

To me it feels lighter. Not more fragile. The Droid (like the storm) is a hoss of a phone. That being said, I do have a case on the phone since I am concerned about impact damage. Just not so much about scratches to the screen.

Subjective I guess but I suppose I just got use to having a metallic brick in my pocket that I could treat like crap and know that it'll be fine. :D

True. I do recommend getting a case for the phone, especially if you plan on abusing the little guy and throwing him into a pocket full of keys and stuff. I'm waiting on an innocase II from Seidio. http://www.sedio.com
