Happy Anniversary Incredible Owners!!!

[Old Member]

I've had my Incredible for a year now! I can't believe that it's still as amazing to me today as it was when I got it. This was my first smartphone and I have absolutely ZERO regrets. I'm wondering how many are still out there reading these forums regularly that have had their Dinc's since launch day.

Also, have you rooted, when did you root and what ROM are you currently running.

Anyone have any "Incredible" stories about their phone over the past year?

Here is my last post PRIOR to receiving my Incredible.

***EDIT*** Forgot to answer my own questions: I rooted at the beginning of August to get 2.2. I think it came out officially a few weeks later. I am running SkyRaider 4.0 and LOVE it.

Well you know I'm in that mix.

Purchased on day 2 of release due to lack of availability, remember that? Bought one of 2 available phones at a newly built Best Buy store that many people hadn't visited yet and felt like I got away with one.

Had to edit this part, just remembered I didn't wait on Unrevoked, rooted the old fashioned way...ADB + pulling the card in/out while standing on one leg and saying 3 Hail Marys. Still remember being in the chatroom and seeing the magic words....f'ing rooooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!

Running CM7 now and likely for the life of the phone. Never know though.

My phone was pre-ordered so I guess I'm passed the one year point now.

I have had a few bumps along the road but overall very very happy.

I rooted in July, currently running Virtuous 3.2 with Hey Its Lou Kernel #4.

Currently happy with my ROM, but I never truly did enough research so I don't really know what the major differences are between virtuous and CM and skyraider...

Mine was pre-ordered too. Received April 28th. They were released to the general public on April 29th.

Same- pre-order received 28th. Still have it and have recommended it to many others along the way. Still love the phone. Had a zag screen protector on it from day one and it still looks great. By this time next year I will be saying goodbye but by then there will be another perfect phone for me.

no root fro me

Got mine on launch day from a Verizon store. Have been loving it ever since. Rooted in Feb and currently loving Skyraider 4.0.

Got my wife one for free at Best Buy in November. Hers is still stock.

Got mine on Day 1 (April 29th). I'd been following the forum for a couple months before that and stalking the local Verizon Store- kept going back in there to find out what they knew (nothing as it turns out) and make sure I was on the waiting list. Turns out I think I was the only one in the whole city who even knew about it!! I think the girls in the store thought I was a little weird...

Rooted a few months ago, and ran the stock ROM for awhile. Then went to CM7, which I decided to bail on because of some FC issues. Been running Redemptive REVOlution (the Sense version) ever since and love it.

Besides getting rid of the bloatware, rooting actually fixed a few quirks I'd had with the phone since purchase, and I would advocate it for anyone. It was rather liberating.

I'm considering dropping the Asurion insurance on my Incredible nowthat it's a year old. Anyone else still carrying insurance?

 

[dragonsamus]

I still have insurance on mine. I received a letter from them saying my monthly was being lowered by a dollar but the deductible was being raised by ten dollars.

How absolutely random that I checked this forum out today, after quite a hiatus, and it just so happened to be the one year anniversary!!!!
Believe it or not, it is still my original device and not a replacement.
Other than the battery (obviously), I've not had one single hardware problem!!!
Congrats everyone!!!

1 year ago today it's been a great ride and have enjoyed the camaraderie thats ensued with it here on the forums!

Nicely said.

Been awhile since I've seen some of these user names. That's cool also.

 

[WhizGidget]

I'm still on my original device (y'all have noticed that today was the release date for the Incredible 2, right?).... mine had to be ordered (on day 1) due to a shortage in the Silly.Com Valley and I didn't get mine until May 5. Oh, what a happy Cinco de Mayo I had!

This has been a great ride, and a great place to spend my time with all y'all Android lovin' folks!

Had mine for a year, coming from the tp2. I'm still very happy and learning more about it and android. And I'm not rooted.

 

[Jmobie]

I pre-ordered my DI, too, and received mine on April 28th. I actually had it delivered to me at work, at my cubicle, and activated it in the parking garage. This was my first smartphone, and I still think it is awesome to this day- does everything I need and then some.

To be honest, I ordered my DI with the intention of returning it before the 30 days were up, as my eyes were originally set on Sprint's EVO 4G. However, I was with Verizon already, didn't want to go through the hassle of switching and keeping track of trial dates, and most of all, I really grew to like the Droid Incredible- its size, AMOLED screen, snappiness, and Verizon's coverage.

Having this phone, I think it has set a very high standard. My next phone, which, like many of you, I can buy as soon as 12/28, is going to have to be preeettty loaded and reliable to beat out this one. I think I can be content with the DI for another year.

Might as well make it a party since Woop broke out the cake.

Now would be a great time to try rooting, for the 2nd year of your contract. Then you can see the huge differences

my 1 year was yesterday lol

The Inc is an amazing phone that i think really made a great impact on the cell world last year. Glad to be a part of it

Hey howarmat, just saw you got a T Bolt too. How do you like it?

i love it i never thought i would like a big screen but it is really nice. I still cant get the battery life to be as good as the Inc but otherwise its been fantastic for me. I dont have LTE avavilable yet, but should be here soon. then i will really get to enjoy it

 

[Shotgunx1x]

Got this phone one year ago today, and the same exact one is still going strong. Looks a little beat up from all the times I have dropped it and what not, but what an upgrade it was coming from a samsung omnia. I have it rooted and plan on keeping it for another year, couldn't be happier.

 

[Oakraidr]

I pre ordered too. Love the damn thing. I have not found a reason to Root the phone. It does everything i need as is.

That is like saying this vanilla cake is really good the way it is, I see no need to put icing on top of it.

Yessir, 1 year and running, dont see a replacement anytime soon. Got mine first day, gotta love the super amoled screen!
