If I was a Verizon Exec, would it make more sense for me to battle for the top spot on everyone's website/blog on day one and possibly be overshadowed by the EVO? Or would I let them have their day of glory and announce the Incredible(or whatever they decide to call it) the next day and have everyone talking about it the whole day?

Maybe they said that the EVO is a powerhouse, and since it has a little bit bigger screen that the Incredible wouldn't be in everyone's mouth.

I'm sad that it didn't happen today, but hopeful for tomorrow. Either way life goes on.

it's just very bewildering to everyone as to what the Verizon execs must be thinking right now

funny you say this, when i worked for verizon they didnt give a crap about anything but their next bonus and making sure their secretary was not included in the next layoff.. and why they couldnt figure out how to use their lotus notes email

What is the possibility that an announcement may come at a later time this week?

It could just be that Verizon doesn't want to share the stage and media attention with Sprint.

Problem is you've got the world's media gathered in one place at one time, why wouldn't you make a major announcement then when you have that large of a captive audience!? Why wait until everyone's back at their office in their day-to-day routine and you have no one present to even hold the phone, play with it, review and comment on it, as everyone is doing now with the Sprint EVO. It makes absolutely no sense from a marketing and sales standpoint.

If this were our company I'd expect to be unemployed today for having been outscooped so badly. This was a cluster-**** of gigantic proportions. "No one gives a rat's ass about Skype, Verizon! Don't you dufusses get it!!??"

You know what's going to be sweet? All the people jumping ship for the HTC EVO. While the rest of us steady and faithful hang out with our Incredibles, they'll be waiting until summer to get a phone with equal specs!

Steady and slow wins the race.

OK, first of all, full credit goes to the guys behind FUUUU COMICS.

I borrowed some of their images to make this...

Oh yeah, no offense to Steven58, but we all know he is really excited about this phone! Lets hope this doesn't happen.

lol

Shamrock13 · Mar 23, 2010

I think this thread has taken too much of me day today! I'm going to check back later tonight or tomorrow to see if there is any new information.

Someone promise me that they will PM me instantly if anything happens!

PLEASE!

I don't know about you, but my Incredible goes in everyone's mouth.

Yeah, I'm 12 years old again.

You guys have to remember, some of us have been drooling over a new HTC phone since the names Dragon and Passion were being thrown around. We've been though black friday, christmas, new years (remember the "I'm feeling lucky" countdown?), CES, MWC, and now CTIA. So I and others are truly feeling your pain!! But we are only one day into this thing. Let's all calm down and take a deep breath. If we don't hear anything by the end of CTIA you can find me at the insane asylum.

I was a contractor for Verizon for 2 years and I agree with this 110%

I'm not going anywhere guy! I'm here, i'm with you, it's not like like i want the phone any less than you (i started this thread while you were still mixing around in dad's scrotum...ok, that was really just thrown in for effect, lol), and it's not like i'm holding it right now laughing about how you don't have it! I invest a TON of my personal time (and money might I add) to support this community and thread and even given this gutch punch today i'm NOWHERE CLOSE to giving up, relenting, jumping ship, becoming negative, etc...

This is the time to truly show your devotion to this community and our shared common interests by lifting people up and keeping the attitude positive and forward-looking.

Now pardon me while i got back to doing what i was doing before i took time out to post this, which is chasing people down who were/are at the conference and trying to figure out what happened.

Thanks Anonimac, I want to add something, (This is not directed towards you Anon) But Everyone who's a fan of the Incredible threads. In the past we've lost several forums because of off topic postings, and excessive postings. Please Be disciplined with how you express your critical, or ignorant thoughts. Sometimes Less is more, and Put a thank you on someone's post. By posting excessive posts you're not directly biting the hand that feeds you, but the frustration we're feeling now, and the energy it takes to read through all of the pages is a catalyst, and a catalyst for I don't know what. Please, I'm asking nicely, have the common courtesy to just Click the "Thanks button" without re-quoting over and over unimportant, and sometimes unrelated posts. Take it easy :cool:

With today's multitude of thoughts and emotions ranging from euphoria to rage to jealousy to resigned indifference, one finally came which offered a certain degree of comfort. I decided to interject so that others may similarly benefit.

How will it feel when I have my Incredible in hand BEFORE the Evo announced today is in the hands of my Sprint-minded buddies "sometime this summer"?

gmag21 · Mar 23, 2010

Okay so the sprint evo is 4g? This may be dumb question but is the incredible also 4g? or 3g?

Ty, excuse my ******edness

clb · Mar 23, 2010

Did you guys see this quote from the Sprint event, "EVO 4G is such a great smartphone, that it can power other smartphones of lesser capability -- we finally discovered something that Droiddoesn't."

Here's to hoping Verizon comes back swinging tomorrow with the Incredible!

Incredible is 3G. But has an AMOLED vs. the Evo's TFT.

Incredible will be 3G, Verizon won't have a 4G phone til next year.

Why does everyone complain about the other networks so much? I've never had a problem with T-mobile or ATT. Maybe its because I'm east coast (RI) and were pretty well covered? I usually switch providers every year or two depending on who has what phone.

Whats the difference between amoled and tft?

Norril · Mar 23, 2010

Sprint - HTC EVO? 4G

The official Sprint page. It can also be used as a mobile hotspot for up to 8 users. I hope that is in the Incredible too.

djgabriel · Mar 23, 2010

Where's my "Jump to Conclusions Mat"?

I've waited for months for the release of the Inc, I can wait another day or 2....

Enjoy the moment... the anticipation... the excitement... the community... the party isn't over yet!

Cheers!

T-Mobile, ATT, and Sprint have no or limited 3G where I live.

So the Incredible has a front facing camera too?

This has never been mentioned before but I have always suspected that it might. But then again I'm kooky like that.

kyler13 · Mar 23, 2010

Par for the course with Verizon. Don't know why anyone would be surprised. Maybe they'll announce tomorrow or Thursday, but make no mistake about it, the Incredible (or whatever they choose to call it) just got upstaged by Sprint and the EVO. I mean, I'll probably still get the incredible but it just lost a little luster. Hope the specs pan out. If it was coming sooner, I might consider the EVO. Confirmed 720p recording and same 8MP camera with larger display AND front facing camera? At least we get AMOLED, as difficult as it might be to see in daylight. Oh well. I will drop dead the day Verizon announces any phone as early as Sprint does.
