Okay guys... nobody sh*t their pants or anything, but look at the SKU on the box in this video, then look at the SKU on this Best Buy screenshot. Now look at the date in stock... 2/14!

The SKU can be found on the top left of the screen shot, and it's the number right above the top barcode in the video... it's 044476816574

Wow... that thing looks awesome. Its odd though that Verizon (according to droidlife) says that the hotspot and skype wont be working when the phone is released but yet the video shows skype is "cooked in" and you can also see the hotspot app in the app drawer. Oh well, im still excited!

I know its gonna be sick! Coming from the eris to that is a huge change, the booting is amazingly fast, mine takes like 3-5 minutes at least to boot, thats like a few seconds if that,

Can we pre order or do we have to wait until release date?

 

[Roaddog]

Haven't heard of any pre order programs yet. I'm signed up with HTC to get news about it and haven't heard word one from them either. :-/

Dual core what? Seriously, maybe HTC knew what they were doing when they went with the next gen 1Ghz snapdragon. That thing is as fast or faster than the new dual cores and its probably going to have much better battery life to boot. Well, at least it will be until (and if its done before EOL) they optimize Android for dual cores. The only thing that seems like it may be a problem is how much the new version sense is integrated into Android. Lets hope the devs don't have any problems creating roms for this thing.

The QSD8255 is NOT faster than a Tegra 2. There is a reason Honeycomb dev reference is tegra 2 and tablet OEMs including even Samsung are heading to it in droves. Even Qualcomm are going to dual core for Tablets (most, anyway).

Still, a 45nm Snap with a much better GPU means a dramatic improvement over the original snap in the Incredible. The 768mb is also a nice touch.

I liked how it was bigger than the Evo, plus 8gb internal vs 1gb internal is big too. A friend of mine has the Evo, so I just shove all this awesome info into his face
