Okay so i was just wondering about CTIA and last springs crop of new phones. I didnt find anything on Verizon announceing any new phones at last years spring CTIA. I was also looking up speakers for this years CTIA and I dont see anything from Verizon or HTC. What are the chances you think that we may not hear anything again this year?

In any case, I do believe that it's a foregone conclusion that Verizon will at least launch the N1 at that time or before. But - stranger things have happened! :eek:

Do they actually have to launch it as a speaker at CTIA? Wasn't the N1 launched as a Google press conference? Couldn't Verizon just arrange their own press conference at the event?

Verizon could do a press conference... but i dont see anything for them doing a conference at this show nor do i see HTC or Google having one.

I do see Verizon and HTC both have booths but that doenst mean they will announce something new. The Company I work for goes to 100's of electronic shows and tech shows around the world each year for the HD decoders and HD calibration equipment we make. We don't announce new thing at everyone. I dont see them just setting there new phones in there booth without some announcement to make. I really hope they do have the Incredible there with specs because everything I have seen and heard about it makes me want it for my next phone.

Better yet - why not draw crowds and attention at CTIA to actually promote something that you've just launched very recently? What a concept! ...lol

maybe it's just too early to announce that they'll have a press conference, since they always like to be in sneaky ninja mode. maybe they'll announce a week before CTIA about a possible press conference. well that's just my wishful thinking.

I have been doing a little more digging. I did find out what times HTC and other cell companys are going to be talking about the next generation of smart phones and other things, when Verizon and other cell providers are going to talk about bandwith issues and emerging devices and other items.

International CTIA WIRELESS 2010

Devices – What are the OEM’s planning?

Time: Mar. 23, 2010 from 2:30 PM to 3:45 PM
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center − Room N 120
where they talk about HTC and other manufacturers

The World Is Wide Open

Time: Mar. 23, 2010 from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center - Room N 112
This is where it mentions Verizon and other Cell providers

also found something on Google. where they are going to talk about mobile conectivity

International CTIA WIRELESS 2010

So I do hope we hear something
 
That was primarily for the benefit of those who hadn't seen much about it in print. And I had prefaced it with the title of "...from www.phonearena.com...."

But Phone Arena DOES list it under "Verizon's upcoming phones." That counts for something. That's a very reliable site.

All this website does is take rumors and put it on there website. I do have to agree I really like this site because they do a great job of keeping up with all the rumors and updating the phones when they are released and what they think of the phone. They pretty much state that they are just working off rumors.

With news that VZW or HTC wouldn't have any speakers or press conferences, I was really hoping for them to do what you just said :(


Well, atleast its about to be MARCH! Only 4 more weeks.:D
 
This has been said before in this thread, but I also wonder if the Incredible is released with no HD video enabled, if this is a hardware or software issue? I tend to agreee with others and think it would be enabled through a SW update later.

I think those chances are real good! I've learned not to get hopes up for these events. I think we'll hear at some random time, which could be good or bad.

well actually if you look i did find out that they do have a speaker but it seams like not a whole bunch of time so i dont know how they would do it all. so there is still hope they will announce something i was just going threw an emotional rollercoaster i have been wanting this phone for far too long and with me seeing that they didnt really release anything last year and not seeing any press confrences at first i was starting to feel a little down. check out post 2081
 
Maybe Verizon doesnt have any speakers listed because they will actually be presenting from another location via Skype? Thus, the speakers arent actually attending CTIA.

If the N1 and Incredible were launching the same day, dont you think we would have seen some kind of N1Incred launch kit in the inventory system by now? Two power-house phones launching on the same day are definitely deserving enough for some kind of joint marketing idea. I think this would be especially true if the N1 would end up being sold in VZW stores.

At this point, after following the Incredible for months, I dont think I could bring myself to buy the N1 just because it came out first when I know the Incredible is launching right around the corner.

The Incredible dummy kit is already in the inventory system. Are launch kits listed there?

Well it could be that the Droid and Eris were launched the same day because it was Verizon's big jump into Android. Everyone says that the N1 will be introduced at CTIA. But why? Its not a new phone and the idea of Verizon getting it is not new. Its always simply been a waiting game. Wouldn't it make more sense to introduce the Incredible as that is the new phone and might be the first 2.1 Sense device to the market? That makes more of a splash then go "Oh hey, we finally got that shipment of Nexus Ones in". So for CTIA I'll go either Incredible or both but not the N1 solo.

Droid and Eris are completely different phones, N1 and Incredible are almost the same, I don't think vzw will release both of them at the same time.
 
On one hand the ADR6300 in the Verizon inventory gives me the hope of a release soon, but the Confidentiality cutoff of August 1st for the PB31200 device in the FCC which we believe to be the Incredible leads me to believe it won't be launched till at least May or June.

The Nexus One device had an FCC submission after the Incredible and has a confidentiality cutoff of April 30th.

Keep in mind that Verizon thinks of the general populace. Would someone who doesn't comb the blogs for info actually be able to tell the difference between the Eris and Droid beyond physical setup and Sense UI? Most likely no. hence to the average person the difference between the N1 and Incredible are the same as the Droid and Eris.

I think even the most uninformed user would notice the presence or lack there of a HW keyboard and would likely be a deciding point for many. I don't think there's enough difference between the Inc. and N1 for most to be able to differentiate.
