***Official HTC Incredible Thread***

[pewpewbangbang]

Supposedly the Nexus One is going to hit verizon before the end of next week according to a really credible verizon tipster who hasn't failed the website ever.

I hope this is true, it will hold me off until the HTC Incredible comes and hopefully restocking fee and crap isn't too bad.

the only reason im not getting the droid or n1 if it comes out really soon is the 30/month data plan that i would have to get...if the inc comes out a month later, thats 30 lost.



yeah im cheap.

There are two sources that post on Moto threads on howardforums. They were so on leaking/confirming information from a couple of months (at least when I started following the threads) before the droids release. Both I believe work for Motorola, I thought one was a PM, but I'm not totally sure.

Well, its a source I suppose. The problem is that Verizon itself said otherwise at CTIA, and they have no reason to sandbag. Verizon (and AT&T) will already be second to the 4G table (behind Sprint) so there's no upside in underselling their timeline.

So, on balance, I'm more inclined to believe the company itself, rather than an employee of a third-party hardware manufacture.

My working assumptions for Verizon's LTE rollout:

1. First rollout (small set of cities) in late 2010.
2. First devices will be home, laptop and mobile hotspots (NO phones).
3. Second wave of cities in summer 2011.
4. First 4G phone summer 2011.

either way, theres no way in hell myself and others are gonna wait that long for the first lte handset (fall at the earliest)


not saying everyone, but a lot of people won't wait

I feel you man. Me and the wife went to Verizon earlier and I was this close to just getting the DROID but might as well wait a little longer.

I popped into a Verizon store today to give it another shot.

Me: "Do you know when you guys will have the Nexus One?"
Salesman: "You can actually buy them online already!"
My brain: "Wow...while he is not entirely incorrect, it is clear from his vague and misdirecting response that I'm more informed than this guy. I will not be asking him about the Incredible, I guess."
Me: "oh, thanks! Good day, sir."

walks away disappointed.

 

[JohnKuczek]

There is no such thing as a salesmen that would say "wait for this and don't buy today"

I have to respectfully disagree. I earned commision at one time, and if you bought something from me, and later returned it and bought something else, I lost my commision or even had to pay it back, and whoever did the return and new purchase would get the sale. I was motivated to make sure I sold the customer something they would not return, so that my paycheck was a little more regular.

similar story... i called verizon customer service about the incred and nexus. the girl was like it's my understanding google sells them unlocked so you can buy one unlocked now and use it for any carrier. i didn't wanna argue so i just said "oh. cool." and i had her search for adr6300 and incredible and after nothing she dropped this beauty of a line on me, "well.... whats so incredible about it anyway?"
in the end it's pretty sad how uninformed these people are. there are the occasional people on phone or in stores who are very interested and know thier stuff... b/c they're phone junkies too - but they're few and far between. CSR's and salespeople are more often then not the last to know anything important...

hardly sad. they're trained to sell stuff thats IN their showroom NOW. not some phantom device that could be released on monday or 100 mondays from now.

I can not go near a verizon store or i would be walking out with a droid so therefore I do not go anywhere near one. So I will not be posting about an experience at my local Verizon store.
I will stay at home and look for neat things to do to the invisible...eerrr Incredible similar to how to the remove the clock in the upper right corner as it is not needed

Yeah, you're right. In fact, that's the only reason that I even ask about the Nexus One. I throw it out as a "feeler" question. In the last couple weeks, my experience is that if they can at least give an interesting answer for the Nexus One question, then they may know something (no matter if it's just a rumor or not) about the Incredible.

 

[twospirits]

It's funny that everyone takes like an hour to type up their latest news.

No kidding, but at the rate this thread goes, by the time one makes their post, you have pages (yes pages) when your post shows up and by then its basically moot.

TS out (taking the speed reading class)

 

[pewpewbangbang]

The thread has been fairly dead for the past like couple hours. We are getting like one post every 30 minutes to an hour.

Yes, maybe so, but it IS the weekend after all - and a damn fine one here in Montana, I might add!

 

[macdaddybuff]

Will you root it when you get it? maybe depends if I like the sense or not.

What is the best thing you like about the phone as far as leaked specs? 8mp camera I hope it takes better low light pictures than the droid.

What is your fav android app that will be put on the phone once you get it? I will have to go with Pandora. We use it all the time on my wife's droid.

What ROM? As you said, the phone isn't out.

 

[Scrops]

What ROM? As you said, the phone isn't out.

look back 10 or 20 pages.. there was a link to a leaked incredible ROM

 

[CaptJager]

What ROM? As you said, the phone isn't out.

Exactly my point I need the phone.

~I'm searching for the leaked ROM right now...HOW DID I MISS THIS?~

 

[chral513]

so it's ok to tell customers to by an unlocked phone from google and that they'd be able to use it on verizon's network? c'mon.... you missed the point...
