My contract isn't up. My 2 year date is November, my NE2 date is July, but I'm eligible for my annual upgrade (with 20.00 upgrade fee) now. this is where I thought I read that VZ will not pre order for me. Hope I'm wrong
I hope you're wrong too
I want to do this exact same thing cause my NE2 isn't until October. I guess we'll have to wait until Monday to find out how the pre-order process works. Unless someone can answer definitively that you can Pre-Order with an Annual upgrade.

C'mon people, we have been here too long and worked too hard to get upstaged by those AC goons now! Let's go! ***Vote, F5, Vote, F5, Vote, F5...***
We keep falling behind! Vote vote vote. Most people have multiple computers and phones with internet. Vote with them all. Vote at school, vote at work, get everyone to vote.
Phandroid has been the leader in providing news on this phone specially, and deserves credit. So vote!
I have one more question. When I port my number from Sprint to Verizon, will my account on Sprint automatically be canceled?
as soon as you activate the new verizon phone (implying that you keep the same number from sprint) it will cancel the sprint service. In other words, you can pre order the incredible using ur sprint number, get the phone, and even wait up to ten days before activating the phone...that way ur sprint service will continue until u activate it

Crimton Just confirmed that we can Pre-Order on the 19th and get it with the Annual Upgrade 2 year pricing +$20 Upgrade fee. But it should be available for us to be shipped or picked up on the 29th.
Alright so... I am eligible for my NE2 currently (Have been since 2/28/09), so my pricing on this phone will be $199 w/rebate of course. BUT... My mom has two $50 rebate cards from when she and my sister upgraded. Can I use both of them online to push my pricing down to $99?
Or... Are the Best Buy rebates instant in-store (I know Verizon's aren't, so if I used both rebate cards in the store it still would only be $199)? If so, wouldn't it be smarter to upgrade there and then use both rebate cards?
Just trying to get my initial cost as low as possible.
i just preordered the inc. in a best buy with a best buy mobile in addison, il. i will be able to pick it up on the 25th!
I'm surprised no one has responded to this yet. Is it bogus or legit?
I just talked to a VZW CSR that I know. Since they get some type of commission for even pre-orders, I was interested in some of my money going to someone I know instead of Corporate VZW.
Unfortunately when you pre-order through VZW, you pay for the phone upfront, all $300. Then you have to wait 1.5 weeks to get the package in hand to get the UPC to send in the MIR. The death knell for me is that there won't be any option to pick up the phone in a store.
I sure as hell ain't going to sit around all day reading this forum about how awesome it is while I'm waiting till 4pm for FedEx to show up. It kills me to have to go to BB at the expense of a friend, but this is the ONLY gadget I've ever been inclined to wait in line to get. I'm going to go to BB in the morning to pre-order, in the off chance that a dummy at the mobile counter accidentally sells me the phone instead.
For The Incredible ad on Testman, it says "Free Activation 4/16 - 4/19" Does anyone know what they mean by that?
I THINK, not 100% sure, but if you already have an account with verizon and preorder online, then activation is already free.
but if your new to verizon, you do have to get an activation fee since they have to setup your account.

Also, looking at the phones side by side..man the Incredible looks like the iPhone. The only reason I'm worried is that apple got a patent for the design, and could sue HTC for that design. I hope this doesn't happen. I dont see it happening since there are differences between the two. they are not exactly alike..just the curves.
There are only so many shapes for a phone design. A patent for the shape/curves of the phone would be far too broad and not allowed.

Oh, okay. You should call and ask, but when I've talked to them before (even though we all know that we could ask 5 different reps and potentially get 5 different answers), they said I could order a new phone, but I may not get the same price, and of course I wouldn't be able to use my NE2 discount, if I'm only going to re-up for another year.

Just purchased an invisibleSHIELD for the Incredible after doing a Google search and finding a 20% off coupon. Here is a link to the invisibleSHIELD site invisibleSHIELD - HTC Droid Incredible

The phone is already $199 after mail in rebate so a NE2 $100 discount should already push it down to $99 (what I was told). I am mailing my Droid back next week, waiting for the NE2 reset and ordering the Inc online again for $99 (already told that price).

what do u guys think of the invisbleSHIELD? Doesnt it leave finger print marks all over the place?
C'mon people, we have been here too long and worked too hard to get upstaged by those AC goons now!
Sadly it looks to me like someone supporting AC is cheating. I voted literally 5 minutes ago and they were winning by 4 votes. Now they are winning by almost 100 votes. Really not cool.
I googled the words "invisible shield coupon" (without the quotes)
and found a coupon code that said it was for the iPad but worked for the Incredible shield. It looks like Techbargains might also have a coupon code for invisibleShields.

Is anyone other I concerned that every pic we've seen to date of the phone's backside seems to clearly show the camera lens/housing assembly being the farthest protruding surface area?! That lens cover & housing look to be a definite contact point every time the phone laid down on its back! Seems like a bit of a design flaw IMHO.

I'm hoping the "lens" in recessed a fair amount. My sch-i760 is the same way, but the metal ring protects it. I haven't been overly kind to it and I can't see anything resembling a scratch on the lens...

Not to be argumentative, but look at the patents Apple is going after HTC for already. They're broad in a lot of cases, and ridiculous in others. It reminded me of the idea that if I had patented, "cellular talking device" in the past, I could draw licensing from every single one of these companies? I mean, they practically allow you to patent a vague idea! The slide to unlock action is on the list. Really?
First time poster LOOOOOOOOOONG time lurker, just wanted to 110% Confirm ( for anyone that cares) ZAGG will have the Invisible shield available at launch of the HTC incredible.
Thought i would pass that along, sorry if this was already posted.
p.s. I do work for a certain "Yellow Tag" Retailer. lol

Someone might be using a proxy like Anonymouse.org to hide his IP and vote multiple times. I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it would work, but that's what I'm betting on.

Apple is just trying really hard to impede Android's (as well as HTC's) success. They know they are winning market share and will soon surpass Apple easily. It already blew away WinMo and BB out of the water. Open source has always been programmer friendly allowing for a wider range of creativity from all sides.
