HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE update to bring global roaming, Isis wallet

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/12/htc-droid-incredible-4g-lte-update-to-bring-global-roaming-and-isis/)

HTC's [Droid Incredible 4G LTE](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/06/droid-incredible-4g-lte-review/) gave us a pleasant surprise by providing a capable Android phone that didn't have to be supersized. It's gone largely untouched since its mid-year introduction, though, which makes a new and imminent update all the more important. The upgrade's biggest trick is support for [Isis mobile payments](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/28/isis-mobile-payment-system-primed-for-september-launch-supporte/) that more officially throws Verizon's hat into the NFC payment ring. Anyone living beyond Isis' coverage will still want to check for the update when it's ready -- the patch switches on global roaming, allows remote technical support, makes Tango video chats useful and improves LTE connection quality. No matter what you're looking for, Verizon's tendency to start over-the-air updates within days of posting documentation leaves a likely short wait before the most recent Droid Incredible gets a breath of fresh air.
