the answer to that is Hell yes. Its a smidge longer than the thunderbolt, but 2mm narrower, thickness is about the same.

Awesome, so the build quality feels solid?

How does the LED compare to the TB? I like mine on the original Incredible, but thought the T-Bolts was very weak and hard to read...

Qa rep brought it in during store visit, no pics of actual phone, they barely let it out of their hands.

So you didn't get to try to fit your battery from tbolt in it?

Yes I did, the whr was diff that's why it had an exclamation point where the battery icon was

was just surprised that as close of an eye they kept on it that they actually let you put the battery from a tbolt in it.... just struck me as odd is all

also it does make any sense that it would do that (im no expert BY FAR, lol) with the exclamation point... and what do you mean by the whr was different? (all just me wondering btw, not 'interrogating you or anything)

ASC · Oct 5, 2011

Since it was brought into a store, could we expect some news of a soon to be release date perhaps?

Any remember the time frame between past phones being seen in the stores and their release date?

the whr(watts per hour) on the bolt is 5.18 on the vigor/rezound it is 5.9 something, so when the stock bolt battery is in the vigor the battery isnt giving enough power to the phone therefore the grey battery with an exclamation point shows up. Same exact thing happens when you take a incredible 1 battery turn it over and put it in an incredible 2. but since the vigor battery was a higher whr the thunderbolt didn't care because it was getting ample power.

My qa reps are pretty chill, just not for pics/videos, cause then they would know i would be spreading it all over the interwebs. even though i would blur out the serial engraving on it. Just better to protect them and myself from termination.

the battery looks exactly like this...

think that was only said cause this phone is said to replace the tbolt... NEVER was gonna be called that.

Interesting- the low light quality on my Inc1 and Inc2 are nothing to write home about, with the Inc2 being only slightly better than the Inc1. Any clue if this thing comes with the new Backlit camera sensor found in the Amaze 4G? Did you happen to notice any camera modes like Burstshot, Clearshot, etc.? I think I've read that high low-light quality and low lag time are features of this new setup.

no def not messing with you guys. QA has it for testing, the back is like a rubbery feel to it, the lines that are diagonal are like the egrips so the phone doesnt slide against the smooth table. screen is absolutely gorgeous, blacks are really black, faster 4g than my bolt and equal to my bionic. The tv-out port fits perfectly with my incredible tv out cable. im not sure since it was a pre-production model that it would have had the tv out option, It did NOT have it in the display settings, I was in a hurry. The app list is paginated like the incedible 2. 4 icons at a time. had the sense 3.5, super fast flying through screens. internal memory was 2gb nothing to wow anybody. did not have any acc with it (beats headphones) post production will have either buds or ear covered beats. qa did not get any accessories with the unit. Any other questions i may be able to answer but she had no idea on release info or anything, if qa has it in testing it, it isn't that far out from release. sorry for slow response, i didn't click the checked box (instant email notification)

internal memory of 2gb for storing apps? or 2gb of internal memory/onboard storage for music/pics? if its the latter, that's pretty weak compared to all the other phones coming out with at least 16gb of onboard storage...

I wouldn't be too worried about this. The Vigor was always rumored to come with 16GB of internal storage, and the recent pictures showing the phone with Verizon branding bear this out. As I recall, when the Incredible was being tested there were several different hardware versions floating around (including one with and one without the 8GB of internal memory) right up until the phone was officially announced. He might have been looking at available memory, or MicroSDHC memory also. I can't imagine that Verizon and HTC would cut the memory down to 2Gb right before release.

Here's a link to an article with the Vigor pictures showing the device attributes:

HTC Vigor Photo Leak Reveals 1.5 GHz Dual-Core Processor, 720p Display, And 4G LTE Support | TechCrunch

On the other hand, if the memory really was cut to 2GB, that would really suck.

So what do you think about the Rezound/Vigor?
