droid-life mentioned that two sources confirmed a $149 price point. rebates are also involved. so maybe a $249 price point, with a $100 instant/mail-in rebate.

Well that's at least a relief. Now I just twiddle my thumbs for 2 more weeks. Luckily my og Inc is holding up nicely

A couple of years ago, I was waiting for the blackberry Bold 9700 to come out. BB would post a release date, then kept knocking it back 2 weeks at a time until it was delayed for months.

During this period, the OG Droid was revealed and Android was getting a loooot of press. I ended up liking what I saw enough to ditch AT&T and Blackberry and got the Droid on VZW.

Eventually, I see people here doing the same thing. This secretive crap up until a week or two before release is stupid. Just give us basic specs about the phone, give us a release date, and stick to it. I bet if they told us that the phone would 100% be released in July, people would wait for it. Since they don't say anything, people get wandering eyes and eventually pick and different device and maybe even a different carrier.

OK what dates have we seen now. April 26, May 3, may 10 and now May 17. I'm not waiting for this. The Dink will just have to hold out. Something else I've been wanting so going to go for it. Screw Big Red and their clandestine crap.

 

[jamala00]

Well I'm not going to ditch big red just yet because of reasons I mentioned above, but my DInc is going to stay with me now. I have moved past even a slight interest in the phone now. I agree 100% with the secretive crap. What good does it do them?

Man, I'm waiting an eternity for this and the Transformer Prime Infinity to come out.. I wish I could hibernate for 2 weeks so that I don't have to suffer the wait!

There is actually a great Southpark where Cartman freezes himself so he does not have to wait for something (Wii maybe?) to come out.

Hah, I think that's where I had the idea! I think it was the Wii and Cartman ended up hibernating for ages instead..

 

[NightxFall]

Seriously?? Another two weeks? This is just ridiculous. Lets see what ghost88 brings from the supposed Verizon meeting on Sunday.

Ok, I understand the Incredible 4G isn't going to have a top of the line screen, but is this qHD business at least equal to or greater than the screen on the original Incredible? My phone is still running without a hitch for the most part, but the 4G and bigger screen would be nice to have. I've been sitting on my upgrade since 12/29, but I'll probably grab this one if the screen is decent enough and the price isn't ridiculous!

 

[StevenZ]

...is this qHD business at least equal to or greater than the screen on the original Incredible?

Yes. qHD is 540x960. The original was 480x800.
If the 4G is .25HD, the original was more like .185HD.

 

[StevenZ]

Yes. qHD is 540x960. The original was 480x800.
If the 4G is .25HD, the original was more like .185HD.

[Amusing myself with math while waiting for Inc4G news...]

So if the 4G has an 8MP camera like the DInc1, then its display will show only 1/16 the resolution of what the camera captured. That's a step up from the original that showed only 1/21 of the captured resolution.

 

[dsgb3k]

I never thought to ask about the screen compared to the original Inc. If its better than the original count me in, for some odd reason I assumed it would be the same or worse. Stupid me

 

[AlbaChev]

LOL, this should help pass the time:

The Inc 4G, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time the Og Inc, traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet?

Oh, boy... just release it already Big Red! At least official specs, date & $. Look what you're doing to us!!!:adore:

 

[binaryhat]

I can confirm my verizon wireless store will have it on May 10th.

Are you sure you want to use the exact word "confirm"? See below:

Hijacked this post from the banned OP

Fwiw, NOTHING is ever confirmed till.. well till the phone is released

Enjoy the speculation/rumor thread

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

I can confirm my verizon wireless store will have it on May 10th.

Proof?

Or speculation.

One or the other.

TRICK QUESTION!
Everybody knows that, while the Og Inc is real, the Inc 4G is imaginary until it's been confirmed. A real phone and an imaginary phone simply can't meet [two hours later, 120 miles from Eastford, 140 miles from Westford].

I thought the next person that used the word confirm was banned for life.

Come on. Did you really just do that? Can you elaborate on how you know this? Some more info would be nice

The sales rep stated he would have the phone reserved for me in my name on the 10th.

ROFL, impressive!

How can they reserve a phone that isn't even in their system yet? lol

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

Oh, how rude of me.

Hello Evan

Took me a little bit but here it is, or was...

the next person that says confirmed is banned for life!! :musicus:

Hello Evan

I am sorry

Maybe HTC was like...... hey verizon, we gave you a modified variant of our flagship "One" series phone. You better keep your mouth shut until our HTC "One" series devices debut and generate some revenue. Until then.... keep your mouth shut. Oh and lets do lunch sometime.


Just a thought.
