The funny thing is, I have three VZW people asking ME what happened today and WHY the Incredible didn't drop. They all know it exists - no one's denying anything to me about it being out there - it's just very bewildering to everyone as to what the Verizon execs must be thinking right now. You can't go into the Superbowl and expect to win by just kicking field goals all day. You've gotta have that big TD!
One text that I did get from my manager friend at the VZW store simply said, "It's Sprint's day today. We'll have ours." While that sorta makes sense, you also have to think of it from HTC's standpoint. HTC is the biggest up-and-coming player in the mobile device field and it's nothing but advantageous for them to have their products announced and drawn out slowwwwly - giving adequate time for each of their new devices to soak up the media's spotlight. If I ran HTC, I'd sure as hell want to save my very best, most elite device for last - to blow the doors off the place, and to leave the public amazed and wondering what we might have coming out by next year's CTIA - no doubt about it. I could be wrong, but I bet the rest of you would as well. Tomorrow's a new day - I'm still as stoked as ever! It's just half time!
