What do u guys think of the samsung galaxy s? that could be released on verizon too in Q2
The Galaxy S will be a force to be reckoned with. The GPU in the thing is MONSTROUS!!!! it basically has quadruple the graphical power compared to the iPhone 3GS which is known for its gaming.

Galaxy S basically quadruples the graphical power of any phone right now. "According to Samsung

Flash 10.1? Not likely given Google's disdain for Flash
Cosmetics? Not likely given that's hardly a true differentiator [ie who cares?]

Most likely is something VZW can include in the VZW software image. They have a specific image that carries their boot branding, so my money would be on Skype [and/or other apps] being included in the VZW build.
Google's disdain for Flash? I think your getting Google and Apple mixed up... Adobe has already shown videos of Flash 10.1 running on the Nexus One so it's coming but I doubt this is the surprise since they could release it to all the Nexus One's on the same day if they wanted to.

Ok, so I tried a back door approach to finding a release date for the INC.

We found some Accessories for the Inc on this site (Actually says for the Incredible ADR6300 & ADR6300 Incredible):

PCDPhones Wireless Accessories

All of which show "Out of Stock" of course since the phone hasn't been released yet. So I emailed them to ask when they would be in stock hoping to get a date which we could assume would coincide with an approximate release date for the INC. I got a reply from them saying "We are looking at approximately 1 month"

So... that meant the INC should be out in approximately 1 month.

Not great info, I know. But, I'm trying to help. :)

File this post under: Take it for what its worth!


So here is my VZW CSR story.....it's nothing that hasn't been said before and of course it is TIFWIW....

Me: Do you know if HTC is coming out with any new larger screened phones soon?
Them: Why yes, they are.
Me: Can you tell me about them?
Them: Sure one is called the "Nexus One"....it's says Google on it but it's made by HTC
Me: Oh really, sounds nice. Will you guys have in store so we can try it out?
T: No it will be sold online only but the other HTC phone with slightly better specs will be sold in stores so you can try that one out here when we get them in...
M: Do you know the name of the phone you'll carry in the store?
T:I think it will be called the Incredible.
M: Do you know when you'll be getting the phone in to try out?
T: Most likely 2 weeks or less, it starting to show up on our inventory screens and i hear the manager talking about it all the time!
M: Two weeks huh, sounds good I got a NE2 to use up.
T: Yeah within 2 weeks, a month at the latest!
M: I'll see ya in two weeks


Thats my story from today, sounded good to me. This guy sounded like someone who actually knew at least a little about both phones to know the difference.

Might go back this coming weekend and see if he's heard anything new.

I have that silver/black 8330 and I think the contrasting colors look nice. Then again, I have a Seido rubberized case on it, so you can't see it anyway. I think both of those look nice though.
I too own a BB8330. At the moment the trackball is about to fall out. It isn't the worst looking phone, the color scheme just made it look about 7 years behind current design when it was released IMHO. Same with the silver Verizon ENV I used to have:

This goes in line with a post earlier today on the VZW forums about the guy saying his friend who works at a VZW store got the Incredible device for training and said it should be released within 2 weeks.

I think this = true.

(or at least most likely) :)

This just in from "@Verizon 'When will Android overtake the iPhone? Try next month'(via @gizmodo) Http://bit.ly/a0AGdr ^@CZ". not saying that it's coming out next month. i'm jsut saying it's interesting that they would tweet this.

Sorry that link doesn't work I had to type out by hand since I don't have twitter @ work.

might be refering to this graph out today.

Is this a ploy just so you can get some street cred by getting your thanks/posts ratio elevated?

...Just kidding, happy birthday!:p

I have a great deal of street cred, as you put it and as you can see by my thanks.. the truth is that I never say anything important, so it's really a sham. ;)
