I would love to have a shiny, black, translucent battery cover...I think the red would look good peeking through the back...just peeking not popping...

I understand the desire to have everyone order online, they don't get all the same plan options, and may make some changes...If you actually speak to customer service they do everything they can to keep you in your old plan (if you get a good rep). They would be stupid to deny users to order over the phone, that would just result in lost sales.That's funny that they say pre-ordering is online only, but the Call Centers are taking them as well.
God, you really hate this phone!!
I'm sure someone has asked this in the past 800 pages or so, but I want to see if anyone has done this recently. Is anyone trying to add a $9.99 line because you aren't due for an upgrade? This may be my best option right now, but I want to make sure that I can activate the Incredible to my line and drop the data on the extra line without any problems. If you have done this recently or are planning to do this now, let me know what you think. I was reading another thread last night, and there were conflicting answers given.
Comparing a BB Storm to the Incredible is like comparing a riding lawn mower to a Ducati motorbike.In the phonedog unboxing vid, the Incredible took about 35 seconds to boot up. I just timed my Storm, and it took over 4 mins! Another nail in the coffin!
Only if you don't have an unlimited text plan.Just spoke with CZW rep (very nice and helpful) and she confirmed that I would need this $5.00 / month txt feature afterall......on top of the $29.99 data plan.
I got lucky and they put me into the 2yr pricing as an annual upgrade. I didn't get the NE2 $50 or w/e but I'll take 2yr pricing ANYDAY over paying full retail. Since this bad boy has the 1Ghz processor I don't foresee the need to upgrade again for at the very least another year.Hey Incredible Kids! Happy Monday! <---Usually that would be an oxymoron, but not this week...Pre-Order Day has arrived at last!
Just placed my order as well. Haven't even watched any of the review vids yet! Was happy to see retail is $70 less than we thought it would be. Still, $529.99 for me I was able to bill the entire amount to my account though, so that dulls the pain a bit - it at least gives me time to sell my Eris and my old LG enV3. Plus, I still have the $100 rebate to mail in for the Eris! So all in all, it's not *that* bad.
When you ordered did you do it over the phone or Internet? If you did it over the phone, did they make it sound like it would be shipping this week? lol my rep was like "You should have this by tomorrow" I didn't want to question it and risk screwing something up, but w/e.just ordered my incredible and only paid $229.99 plus tax (1 yr contract), so no mail in rebate for me! And now I play the waiting game... BTW, anyone want to buy an Eris????

Today is an Incredible Day, I think I could even finish the Boston Marathon!
So I should focus on the positives and ignore the negatives?
If I hated the device, I would have not put the word "disprove" in my note
I only hate iPhones and soon, the wPhone (aka WP7). Any device that forces file transfer through a special software interface is pure evil to me.
Perspective: I love my G1 and N900 and they both have a bunch of faults. Then again, if the the N900 was on Verzion and used Android, it would be perfect! Tmo coverage is depressing.
Biggie for me is several reviews point out the reception is much weaker than the Droid. Two bars weaker.
Only if you don't have an unlimited text plan.
I saw some people asking about upgrading your current plan before you pre-order. I'm not sure if they were addressed yet or not so stop me if you've heard this already...
I have the ACII family plan. I'm not the primary line (so i'm not sure if this is the key difference here) but I was able to pre-order the inc (on-line) and add the 29.99 data plan with no problem. I did not have to upgrade to a newer family plan. Now if I was the primary line I don't know if that would be different.
Just thought i'd toss this out there.
So I was looking and to get the Incredible I lose Unlimited Texting for 5000 texting for the same price..... Alltel plans do not carry over. looks like no Incredible for me. Sprints everything for $69 vs over $100 for vzw is looking better. Any input on this? Can the stores keep my current plan?
