Verizon is really getting on my nerves. If the dam phone is going to be released at the end of the month why not just tell us. OMFG!!!! Why is it so hard for them to just let us know it is coming out. I know a lot of you guys have been waiting a while for the dam phone. It just seems like every dam phone is coming to version, but yet they take forever to be released. By the time they do release them there are new phones coming out to the market. So we all wait for them to come out with the new phone that has been talked about. I am getting really fed up with Verizon.

Agreed--for me it's worse. I bought the Droid April 3. If this doesn't release before my 30 days, I am going to be soooo disappointed!!!! Sick of the accidental hangups!

I am just glad that BGR is also confirming the specs from their source at Verizon. Granted it was here first, but it is nice to see that there is just more confirmation about the awesome specs of our phone.

I also like that Giz is giving BGR all the cred too...

"It's one of the leakiest phones of the year, but it looks like BGR has the official specs, courtesy of a well-placed source at Verizon

Not to burst bubbles, but what if Verizon is not saying anything, because there is nothing to say? Perhaps all of the info along with April Fools efforts has created this beast known as Incredible. There is a chance that is the case and that the Inc is later than April and it will turn out being a US version of the Desire.

Based on the respinning of the same news bouncing around media blogs and the lack of any new "news", each passing day suggests the current info may not be exactly accurate.

That all said, even if the Inc is released in June, it seems very lame for Verizon to stay secretive and not announce their product plans (Sprint has a MUCH better approach with new products). Folks that want a keyboard will continure buying Droid, so the concern about Droid sales diving is probably not correct. IF the Incredible turns out to simply be a US version of the Desire, that would mean no 8gb media memory, no 8mp camera and no access to the microsd card without removing the battery.

Without doubt, I would buy the Droid if the Inc is simply a US version of Desire. Not long to find out- one way or another :)

BTW: Yes, I am baiting a hook for Anon to grap on, so he will spill more info ;)

Now this guy is frustrated with Verizon...

I purchased the Storm 1 the day it came out on Verizon.* I loved the phone and was happy to see Verizon at least TRYING to release something before it was outdated on the other networks, but sadly this was only a sliver of satisfaction that will never be met again as it currently seems.

I have been a loyal Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone over 8 years ago, I would never think of switching networks until now though.* For a company to completely IGNORE the demand it's customers have (that is in this case, new phones that aren't outdated) is unnacceptable.* Verizon reps can argue with me all they like about how switching networks will dissapoint me, and verizon has the best coverage, blah blah blah.* What good is coverage if you can't use it.* I can make and receive phone calls on any phone I want, but things like internet browsing and various other data based abilities are useless when the hardware is total crap, or in this case non-existent.**Wake up Verizon, I know it doesn't make sense to you, but the general public will take an iPhone over anything from verizon because the hardware is so **bleep** good!*

I am no iPhone or apple fanboy, quite the opposite, however as a business person I can't see what Verizon hopes to accomplish by simply having a good network without decent phones to use on it.* It SICKENS me that you still try to sell me a Droid when I walk in to the store but will not even MENTION the N1 or incredible (two phones that your marketing department should get their heads out of their a$$es for).* Why do your sales reps push outdated technology?* The Droid is great, but facts are facts and the two aforementioned handsets are quite a ways ahead of the Droid in terms of what they can do.* And for the record, releasing*ONE decent phone (the droid aint bad) does*not make up for not releasing TONS of phones that I could obtain on other networks, that you*too could have available.**

Here is a good way of putting it for those that can't see the obvious failure Verizon as a business*is becoming.* Look at game consoles.* What if the 360 was this awesome powerhouse but a game would only be released on it once every month or so, worse yet these games would have already been out or bested by that of a rival console, that doesn't sound like a good way to keep cusomters happy.* This is obviously a hypthetical situation, you know why?* Because it sounds completely **bleep** for it to be done that way, just as it is absurd that Verizon talk up their network but not have anything worth using the network on.

Verizon, how are you going to tell me I should stay on your network (which I like) when I have nothing worth using on that network?* Your business strategy of shunning handsets away will not last long.* In the early days of mobile phones I could accept a crappy phone for a better network, but guess what?* IT'S NOT 2002 ANYMORE!* While AT&T/Sprint may drop a few more calls than you, so be it, if it means I can actually have a phone that is not easily replaced by an iPOD touch in terms of usablity.*

It really wouldn't have taken much for me, just a god ****** announcement, just one!* Show that you at least PRETEND to care about the thousands of twitter posts, comments, articles, facebook status', etc... that your marketing team clearly does not look at, that state with resound that we don't care about some HTC Devour, these were the two phones we wanted to see, you wouldn't even have needed to market them like you will the HTC Devour, a phone no one cares about in comparison and therefore will need a great deal of market penetration (costing plenty of $) to convince people to by it.*

My cell phone provider should not be compared to socialized healthcare in the way their business practice works, but you are telling me here's a network, and here's 3 phones to choose from (face it, most of the phones verizon offers are direct substitutes for eachother with ALMOST NO diversity from model to model).* I will take my business elsewhere to a company that cares about their customers, and understands when they are not meeting expectations.

These might of already been answered but I'm in one of those moods today :p

As this phone gets closer and closer to getting into our hands, is it possible for somebody with access to it to verify that the user guide is correct?

Will the phone NOT come with an SD card? If that's correct, any word on max capacity that will work?

Can applicationss truly be stored on an SD card, per the user guide?

ETA: I see on the Equipment Guide, that it will take 16GB card.

Pay attention this has been discussed ;) It's been confirmed it will support up to 32GB and will not come with a card but will come with built in 1GB on top of it's RAM (aprx 512) and ROM (aprx 512) it's not confirmed yet if we will be able to store app's to the internall 1gb but I have a feeling we will but won't be able to store it to the sd card but I'm just going off what I've read here and also I think the ability to store apps to the 1gb internal or sd card will be a function of Android so if it doesn't come that way and update could change that down the road.

What happened to 720p video?

what happened to 720P video recording?

so the kin 2 and evo will do 720P but the incredible will not?

Ask a few more times and you might get the answer your looking for. The short answer is NO. The long answer it's believed the hardware supports it and could be a matter of just an OS update to enable it.

looks like this one was actually proof read before it was released

edit: Still friggen says 16 and 32 removable sd....confusing

This has been discussed before (I even asked the same thing) and the answer is there is probably an application that has check boxes that creates this document and because VZW store associates are usually clueless if the document said it supports 32gb and none of the others the employee would say it doesn't support 16 or anything else cause it only says 32gb. Pretty sure it's confirmed it will support UP TO 32gb SD like the Droid.

I'm pretty sure that you are right about being pretty sure.:D

I'm pretty sure your pretty sure.

This post is not getting you amped, it is not building suspense, and it will certainly not be replied to as least 20 times...

I see what you did here, I had my night vision googles on this morning.

There really should be a "No Thanks" button.

:eek:

Alright folks, good news...someone inclined to this forum and thread has been asked to be a Subject Matter Expert (SME) by their management on the Incredible so we have a very good inside track now.

What does this mean for us:
1. Further confirmation that the Incredible is close if they are training SMEs
2. Increased potential for pictures, technical documents, CBTs, juicy screen shots, etc...
3. That someone's hands are in their pants already by the time they even get to number 3.:D (gross)

As the little emoticon android stands for...MONEY!

So with this SME training, is it reasonably safe to say that a release date on the 29th (possibly the 25th) is very likely?

Geez, a lot of frustration popping up today, wonder what the special occasion is?

Everyone needs to chill out. We've got very good evidence that this phone is being released at the end of this month. We know for sure that it exists. Those two things alone are way more information than we had around this time last month. You shouldn't be expecting Verizon to announce anything until right before because that is and has been their modus operandi. This thing will easily be the best smartphone on the market for a couple months at least.

this is getting OLD.
getting sick of the games.

just post the effing info and stop playing games.

seriously ... the guides with supposed revelations every day ... all this hype. LAME.

but ... really ... this is getting OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDD !!!
:mad:

I understand your frustration, but nobody owes us anything,if it wasn't for this forum we would have little to no info whatsoever on the Incredible. We all should be thankful for the info we get that were not entitled to get.
