I'm definitely not a fan of HTC's Sense UI. I'd read glowing reviews about it (Engadget, Android Central) so when I went to try out the Incredible myself I was quite shocked at how much I was put off by Sense. Some of their changes are good - I like the phone button at the bottom of the home screen, but they've gone and messed with the UI of practically every program on the device - and I'm not a fan of their "improvements". From the dialer to the car panel to the clock - the Nexus One's UI is, IMHO, much better looking and functioning.
The frustrating thing is that I'm actually seriously considering getting the device, as Google decided to pull the Verizon Nexus One. But I just know that I won't be as happy with it as I would have been with the Nexus One.
- whalesalad 16y agoI really think it would be a great phone with a replacement ROM, like Cyanogen/Droidmod. Then you'd basically have a Nexus One++ on VZW :) I'd sit tight for the root soon, The Desire and Legend were very recently rooted, so this thing can't be far off.
- RK 16y agoI was under the impression that you could "turn off" Sense and run the native GUI.
- kylec 16y agoIt's possible to disable Sense on older HTC phones (like the Eris), but not on the Incredible. Apparently HTC even stripped out the files needed to support the stock UI from the ROM.
