Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has made the DROID Incredible by HTC available for purchase on its airwaves since yesterday, and now the first video ad for the device is available for your viewing pleasure. Moreover, while Verizon has the handset priced at $199 on contract, a new offering is reportedly available for the handset, coming from Amazon, where the Incredible is priced at only $149.99 on contract.

Starting with the video ad available for DROID Incredible, which is embedded at the bottom of this article, we should note that it comes in line with the DROID by Motorola ads some might be familiar with. Just as the first DROID, the new one is a high-end device, with more than appealing features, and Verizon seems set to make users aware of this. Interestingly enough, the device itself does not appear in the video, but those who will watch the ad will certainly head over to the carrier's website to learn more.

And to make things even more appealing, the DROID Incredible is now available for purchase from Amazon with a price tag set at $149.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement with Verizon. The best part of the deal seems to be the fact that the handset is currently in stock at Amazon, something that cannot be said about the wireless carrier, which already announced that units ordered yesterday should ship on May 4. The DROID Incredible can be seen on Amazon here.

In case there are some not yet familiar with the specs of the Incredible, we should mention that it comes with a 3.7-inch HD OLED touchscreen display, with an 8-megapixel camera with flash and video recording, with a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, and with the Android 2.1 OS on board. Measuring 4.6 x 2.3 x 0.5 inches and weighing in at 4.6 ounces, the handset boasts 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of internal flash memory, coupled with a microSD memory card slot for additional storage space, a wide range of connectivity options, and a battery that can offer up to 312 minutes of usage time or up to 146 hours of standby time.
