I really want to bail my Tour off to someone for a decent price before the Tour 2 comes out as well.

The only benefit I saw from the OS 5.0 upgrade was threaded SMS. That was a big thing for me, otherwise it's just more useless BS.

On a separate yet related topic I really wish VZW would stop dumping bloatware on my frickin phone. I don't want a Bing application or NFL Mobile! If I did don't you think I would have gone to the damn app world and downloaded them? Enough already...

Those are just icons to download the app, right? I just hid those and moved on.

I'm really happy with how VZW did with the Inc - put all the VZW stuff in a separate listing in the Market. Everyone wins!

Yeah the bloatware on the Storm was unbelievable. I had a new icon pushed on my phone every week. One day, I'd like to un-hide all of my icons and see how many I actually have. I definitely agree on the win-win though. Verizon stops pissing off customers, but place all their services in a location where everyone can see and access it.

I have been looking around the old interweb and I was wondering what the store of choice was for getting cell phone accessories.

Thanks!

Hi, just wondering where you all stand on screen protectors.

After hearing that the screen is in danger of being nicked, I think it makes it all the more critical that we get a screen protector.

My dilemma is based on everything I've read, we have two choices:

1) Crystal Clear variety- will give us the best clarity, but bad for glare and fingerprints

or

2) The anti-smudge variety- which should help on the glare and fingerprints, but probably not as clear as above.

That being the case, I think I'm leaning towards the anti-smudge style.

I've put in requests for 3 different companies to make one specifically for the Incredible (including Steinheil) but haven't received any response for this yet.

My question is, are you all in a holding pattern like I am to wait for something that hasn't been released yet? Do we think we'll see something in our hands before the 29th?

Anyone know of any anti-glare protectors available for the Incredible?

thanks!

Per the Launch Package document:
1. Standard Display Protectors - VZW63003PKSP
2. Anti Glare Display Protectors - VZW63003PKASP - POST LAUNCH

In my opinion, the Anti Glare is the way to go.
Pros: Cuts down on the glare, less noticeable fingerprints, provides a slight tactile-feel, minimizes any pixelation
Cons: less vivid colors
I tried Zaggs invisibleSHIELD on my LG Versa and iPod Touch & hated it on both due to the orange peel look and texture.
Personally, I have ALWAYS had the best luck with the screen protectors that Verizon offers. They are typically precision cut, which although more difficult to apply, provide a near-100% coverage of the phone screen's surface.
In summary, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be ordering #2 (above) from Verizon, as soon as it's available.

On the behalf of all the people who have pre-ordered an Incredible: We hate you! And congrats!

But of course, we are talking about the Incredible in this thread....

Hey people over here! just posted a new thread, but like me, most of you are probably just refreshing this thread so I'll post here as well. ENJOY!

Soo.. I was reading some tech news just now and I came across a pretty interesting article. I know we all love android

, and dislike crapple, so this is just something else that we can all rub into crapple users faces. lol

Adobe Calling Quits on Flash for iPhone - PCWorld

best lines in this article:

"...the iPhone isn't the only game in town...Adobe is working closely with Google to bring Flash Player and Adobe Air to Android-based smartphones (Motorola Droid, Nexus One, HTC Incredible, Sprint Evo)..."

"...Adobe now says it plans to concentrate on developing for Google's Android mobile operating system,..."

Hope you enjoyed reading that.

I'm planning on picking the SteinHeil anti-fingerprint model. I put in a request as well at their site. I hope they have them ready soon, but if I have to wait a bit I'm not worried. I'm mostly interested in it for the anti-fingerprint and anti-glare features, and it sounds like it has a really slick feel under the fingers, which I like.

In the mail? :thinking:

How did you order - CS or web?

Lucky! We are so jealous. What date/time did you pre-order? Did you pay with credit card or put it on your next bill? I wonder if that makes a difference (credit card = they charge you right away so they have an incentive to ship sooner). I pre-ordered mine at about 12:30 a.m on 4/20 and still have that silly "Your order is awaiting approval or phone availability. Please check back in a few days." ARGGHH!

Be sure to let us know all about your Incredible experience.

I saw that a few minutes ago, its pretty cool. I had no idea Sense had such an extensive copy/paste feature.

Anyone who has a Storm will appreciate my excitement. I mean, copy and paste is such a simple function, you'd think it wouldn't be that hard to do....

Yes, my Storm ABSOLUTELY sucks in the cut/paste department.

I forget to post this, so here it goes. Yesterday I talked with a Rep who then transferred me to someone else, I am sure it was internet orders or something like that. He told me he guaranteed that they are shipping on the pre-ordered Incredibles anywhere from the 26th to the 27th to have them delivered by the 29th.

I asked him if that means we could get them early, he told me yes expect them anywhere in that time frame, up until the 29th. I told him some have gotten them early, and he told me if I gave him the phone number of one of them he could tell me how but other wise he was shocked to find out anyone had already received them.

Edit: I meant to say the 26th not the 25th. sorry!

Pretty sure no phones will be shipped on the 25th, which is a Sunday. :rolleyes:

True. I can have no bars inside my house and it works just as well as standing outside with full reception.

Is this true for voice and data? I always assumed data speeds would slow down with fewer bars.
