***Official HTC Incredible Thread***

[Steven58]

Hey Steven, you've had worth to us long before you got this magical "source."

comedic value?

 

[anvilt]

Be mindful, Verizon gestapo are everywhere...

Yeah. One of them could be standing next to you and you wouldn't even notice him.

Samsung Reality SCH-U820

LG Fathom VS750

HTC Incredible

Nexus 1

Just a guess...not in any particular order

First, love the dexter avatar, +1

Second,

From that memo Anonimac put up, they said "one of the hottest phones of the spring" to drop soon or something to that effect

That to me says Incredible, because the N1 is not hot (Check the WSJ article if you need me to back that up) and it has been out for a while.

What is hot?

A phone with a forum with 2 million views and 30k posts.

Just my $.02

Is the rule for closing down this thread/forum that as soon as it's released its going to be closing? Or that it's announced?

Come on, you're the thread mascot, a surrogate father, if you will, to all of us!

 

[Anonimac]

So, "Code Name: 6" means 6 new devices this quarter. "The journey begins Monday" refers the Microsoft (Pink) announcement of the Kin One & Two today. What's next?

Oh i think you know...

 

[Steven58]

Any word on when your source gets his phone?

sometime this week is all I was given, sorry.

Released. I'm still negotiating an "alternative solution"...stay tuned.

Agreed. And, I think the N1 for VZW will actually be released by Google, and not VZW, so IMHO, I'm not even sure it should be on that list.

Hey Steven, if you want to protect his identity, shouldn't you remove his picture from your avatar?

Just a thought

What about the *cough-2 Kin phones-cough*?

 

[shawn487]

HEY! I have a "source" now. I have some intrinsic worth.

Now Steven, is this a "source" for the Macaroni Grill or a "source" for new phones? haha

even better a "source" that has both

ps I have never ate at a Macaroni Grill since i dont have one in my state sounds like I am missing out

 

[Ladera]

I think everyone who participated in this thread prior to the launch should be given some kind of title for future postings once it is closed. Perhaps "Sir" or "Knight?"

 

[Trouble81]

soo is the bestbuy release date bs or is that still a go?

Ya I do not see verizon announcing the Nexus one, because the incredible and nexus one are so similar, i am just thinking that google will announce the nexus one since it is on there site or ads of some sort idk. I think the incredible will be the next phone announced though!

 

[rushmore]

Respectfully to all,

Looking back at the last big device (Droid), there was already solid info leaked at the two week window point. Given the lack of announcements, are folks here going to continue to believe the Incredible is releasing on 4/29? Perhaps that is when they will anounce pre-order, but there is nothing firm or substantiated to suggest 4/29 is happening for actual sell-through to consumers.

The "150K in one warehouse" is a red flag IMO, not to mention the "inventory control" person at a Verizon store (no such position) got info, etc. The "Big launch Monday" shows how folks can grasp on to something and conclude what they want.

Also, how would there already be an extended battery for aftermarket? If any of this pans out, I will eat the biggest crow (with A1, please) that I can find, but nothing makes sense for a 4/29 launch.

Seriously, has any other device had an extended battery ready for aftermarket already? If so, why have the prototypes the vender used to design and test the aftermarket battery not leaked out as info as well (point being, why no prototypes or samples more visible yet)?

If there are no substantial leaks this week- end of April is not happening.

Or something in regards to "Staying Power"

u can scratch the nexus 1 and lg aloha the nexus 1 is a google phone not verizon and the aloha isnt coming till summer i thought

 

[Kyuss]

I think Verizon is waiting to release this phone until this thread has 2,000,000 views or Steven58 hast 2,000 useless post lol(just playin steven) (and I really don't think Verizon cares if this forum gets 2 million views)

Woot, that means we'll get the phone tomorrow!

Negative Nancy are we? I respectfully disagree...

 

[Paltas]

I agree with you, with all the independant leaks we have been getting, I don't get why some people are overreacting that Q2 is going to mean June. This is not CITA we actually have leaked documents to go on not just rumors.

DON'T PANIC

Who gets the above reference?

I walked into a VZW store and the rep there told me that the Vogon Destuctor Fleet is scheduled to arrive the day before Verizon releases the Incredible.

This is unfortunate, because unofficial reports suggested that the HTC incredible would be packaged with a towel and a Babel fish.

Minus the usb modem and the nexus one and you have your list only phones worth noting
