Guys, just report the posts, and let the moderators sort it. If we keep responding directly to him, we only encourage him. I'm guilty of this as well, but let's move on and keep the thread where it needs to be.

True wisdom spoken. I've cleaned up the thread, handed out a warning and a 7 day ban, both for attacking.

With the thread cleaned, you have a real opportunity to stay on topic. If you disagree with someone, just report and don't respond! Avoid the subject and stay on topic!

Remember, if attack, YOU become become the object of mod attention and the core the issue gets lost. Keep the core issue the core issue and hit the report button. We really care and pay attention. Okay?

Carry on.

Steven


PS: I've deleted two more off topic posts. Please stay on topic.

This would be better answered in the evo forum

Let me expand upon that...does anyone know of any issues with the Evo update, since they Evo and the Incredible are 98% identical, running nearly identical software (except for the Verizon/Sprint added software).

If there were major issues, our update might be stuck in QA (or was sent back to HTC for retooling). If their weren't any big problems, there should be no major holdups for our version.

Basically, I'm just trying to inject some desperately needed facts into this thread.

How many people get banned on their first post? That's pretty awesome....they said I wouldn't amount to anything. Look who's laughing now mom!

My boss got a new incredible 2 a few weeks ago. I was setting up a few things on there for him today and tried to do the update. It said it was currently up to date with 2.2.1. This gingerbread thing is a mirage!

not true, lol. My inc2 got GB on monday lol. Not trying to brag just saying.. They probably didn't push it to all inc 2's right away, a tiered release is usually how they do these things. But GB runs great on the inc2 :)

Well obviously they didn't push it to EVERY inc 2 all at once.

With a little luck we will be getting ours shortly after the 2....

I'm beginning to see a trend with the original DInc......we had to wait forever for the release, then we had to wait forever for Froyo.......and now we are waiting and hoping for Gingerbread. I feel like the red headed stepchild of verizon. :(:p

Yes, but it seemed to take forever from when they started pushing to everyone else.

Yes... that was a long week and a half from the droid update to ours. The evo and stood classic got it the second week of august, we got it the 4th. We got our update weeks or months before most other flagship phones (US galaxy S phones got it in March, 6+ months after we got it).

And if we get gingerbread anytime this summer (I'm confident we will), we'll still have gingerbread before most devices.

We were like the third/fourth phone in the US to get Froyo.


I may be wrong but weren't we the 3rd Verizon phone to get froyo? Both Motorolas got it first. And I believe at least 1 sprint and 1 T-Mobile got it before us too.

However, weren't we the first to get one that wasn't flawed at first.

Either way, I didn't mind waiting a little longer.

I guess what I was saying is that I've been running the check for updates process three times a day for two months now One my Dinc. I just wanted a little taste of what it looks like when there is an actual update available. Since I had a Dinc 2 in my hand I thought it would work for sure if I checked for the update. Nope....Just more disappointment and sadness.
