Verizon Wireless today ended months of speculation and finally announced the Droid Incredible. We pretty much know everything there is to know about this device already. It will be available for pre-order on April 19, and will hit store shelves April 29.The Droid Incredible will set you back $300 at Verizon retail stores when you pick it up, though there is a $100 mail-in rebate card that Verizon Wireless is making available to lower the cost of the device to $200. Of course, you'll have to remember to send the rebate form in, and the rebate will come in the shape of a debit card that Verizon says should be accepted anywhere.

Interested customers will have to sign up for both a voice and data plan in order to purchase the Droid Incredible.

Verizon says that the device won't be able to access Skype out of the box, nor the new NFL application it is offering. It says compatibility for those apps will come "shortly after launch."

In case you've forgotten what the Droid Incredible offers, here's the rundown:

  • Android 2.1 with HTC Sense experience

  • 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for maximum responsiveness

  • Friend Stream for unified Flickr, Facebook and Twitter updates

  • "Leap" view for quick access to all seven home screen panels

  • 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash for crisp, detailed images

  • Razor-sharp 3.7 inch WVGA (480x800) AMOLED capacitive touch display

  • Optical joystick for smooth navigation

  • Dedicated, touch-sensitive Home, Menu, Back and Search keys

  • Proximity sensor, light sensor and digital compass

  • Integrated GPS

  • Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g)

  • 3.5mm headset jack
