***Official HTC Incredible Thread***

The cold, harsh reality is this: nothing will come tomorrow, nor the next day. We'll get bits and pieces over the next few weeks and some random day in the middle of April, one of the tech blogs will reveal a press release buried on Verizon Wireless' news page that this phone will be available within a few days. No fanfare, no advertisement, no trumpeting. Just Verizon Wireless adding another phone to the line up.

I felt very cold and alone reading that.... :eek:

Ok, got home went to gym and "frustrated" off 5 pounds. Hoped by some miracle, I'd come back to OMG they announced it. No such luck. Read the last few pages. Felt depressed. Then came to this realization. How does Verizon come away the big winner of CTIA.

Announce a phone comparable to the Evo.
But wait, it won't have 4G service so it's not going to win.

But...........



Verizon doesn't say look at this cool new phone, and in a few months, you can have it. Verizon says hey look at what we got, and it's coming your way.......and SOON.

So Verizon says, yeah Sprint's phone is nice, but look at our nifty phone, and look at its release date April 17th. Why wait till June, when you can have some HTC goodness in a couple weeks.


Confidence restored. Go Big Red. (Seriously don't let me down this time though)

OR....they announce the Ipone will be available soon! That would take the wind out of everyone's sails.....wouldn't it?

DOES HTC still have another embargoed device lingering out there to unveil at CTIA? Or don't they? :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

i think it depends on the vote for best device if the embargoed device in there turns out to be the Evo then no they only have one.. i gathered from having two spots in their booth that said don't peek.. now i know that two Evos were put in those spots so now it doesn't look to good. the embargoed device being voted for best in the show. I thought it had to be the incredible since i believe sprint acknowledged the Evo/supersonic a longtime ago so would they really embargo it for the name? but my theory is getting less plausible by the minute :(

I still bet we get the Incredible some what soon, VZW isn't going to want people to think about switching very long. They will want to get something out that will make people re-sign their contract. Well, hopefully they do this. I don't see how they could not though. Then again, it is Verizon Wireless.....
