the N1 and the Incredible have the same Samsung manufactured screen. Don't know if it is a screen or stability issue.
the N1 has multitouch as well, but not for every feature

How many years have you had Verizon service? I've emailed them but I got a form letter response. I've had VZW service since 1998 but I switched over to AT&T for the iPhonefor a few months so I lost my years of service which is why I probably just get form letter responses now.
I've been a member since like 2000 or earlier (fam plan) then 2004ish I got my own plan
This is my thought (it's only worth $0.02)
But with Verizon discontinuing the Eris and with the possibility of the Nexus One coming at the end of the month, I believe the Nexus will be the Eris replacement (both have the trackball too)
And that the Incredible will be the Droid replacement, I think the final Incredible will have more memory and wont be the red even tho I would get it either way.
Sorry if someone said this already just this forum is moving sooooo fast

With the N1 screen issues, I think the screen cracking will be TAKEN CARE of by the time VZW get it. That's why there is the supposed delay in launch (screen issues) and we all know VZW is hardcore on testing its devices. I think they will have it squared away and if it is in store, I am def. buying insurance (if I decide to go with the N1).
Yeah, me too. I currently have insurance on my daughter's bb curve and my xv6900.

Another thought... The Devour is coming out this month too, and it's a mid-level android device. Although they could, why would Verizon put out two new mid level devices in one month? It seems to make more sense that the Devour is the new Verizon mid-level, the Incredible is the new Verizon high end, and the Nexus One is in a class of it's own, since it's on multiple carriers.
Edit: I realize it might not all be within one month, but still released pretty close together.
This makes me ask myself why Verizon would be selling not one but TWO high end devices at the same time, namely the n1 and the incredible? It makes me second guess if indeed Verizon will be selling the n1 at the store, rather than Google's selling it exclusively online. (no offense meant, Kappy).

Maybe they like offering the choice of a moto phone and HTC both running Android... People seem pretty opinionated about phone brands. Some hate moto some love, same with HTC.

lol NONE taken. I'll only believe the N1 is sold in store when I a holding one in the store with the oppertunity to purchase it.

anyone think the possible delay in the N1 launch could have to do with Android as well? With all the fragmentation talk, maybe they don't want to release the N1 which has 2.1 (right?) until the droid can be updated to 2.1 and the Eris to 2.0? Then they launch the Incredible with 2.1, so things are a lot more even? There would be less complaint from customers who have the Eris or Droid and can't upgrade phones and want to have the most, or close to most, modern OS.

Now that Verizon has some good Android phones in the works, I hope Verizon never gets the iPhone. Let the fanboys keep clogging up AT&T's network.

Oi oi....can we please lay the 256 RAM thing to rest for now? We've come up with at least 12 million theories as to why it won't be 256, and a handful of them are likely. I just really don't think it's going to be 256MB. I mean, we've got kernel issues, downgraded for testing, no actually confirmed 256MB (if memory serves, no one has ever proven this is what is in it. could be wrong on this one).
The only thing I read was about a screen cracking in someones pocket?? I am still sporting a BB Curve so I have a case, so those that have touch screen phones is this an issue...? How about dropping the phone? It happens to everyone now an then, I can't wait for the incredible as everyone else but how fragile are they?? Sorry if this is off topic but had a LG Dare but nothing with a glass screen yet....
I get what your saying, but I think the growth of smart phones and how even teens are getting them (well parents buying them for them lol) they are releasing more and more to target different groups. Look the Verizon Pink is maybe coming in April targeted at teens... Leak: Microsoft Pink phones coming to Verizon, on shelves April 20th? -- Engadget
So i think the Nexus will replace the Eris (moderate smart phone user)
The Incredible will replace the Droid ( us android addicts
) And the new line of Devour and Pink targeted at teens.

Yeah I was referring to the screen getting hairline cracks in it and HTC saying it shouldn't be carried in peoples pockets or people with skinny jeans.
Also,CNET UK said they left it on their desk and came back in the afternoon and it was broken. Untouched sitting there. Just cracked. I find that hard to comprehend...

I don't know how manufacturing works, but I would think that if they were to attempt to fix the screen cracking problem - which is a hardware issue - there'd be no way VZW can release it by the end of this month. Assuming that issue was just recently discovered, and that the N1 has already gone into testing, they would need to replace every single screen and redo the factory lines. I don't know how difficult this would be, but I'd think much harder than a software issue fix.
Also, with the multitouch/sensor issue on the N1, apparently it was a bug in the app according to AndroidCentral:
YouTube - The Nexus One/Droid multitouch debate - AndroidCentral.com
So hopefully that'll lay to rest anyone's worries about the multitouch being nonfunctional
As for the whole iPhone to VZW, I found this..

Not sure on the validity of it, so you can be the judge of that. It makes sense to me though.

I don't have an HTC touchscreen phone or an iPhone, but I have never had any issues carrying my Storm in my pocket. Of course, I'm not a skinny jean type person myself and the Storm's screen has some give to it because of the "click" component.
I have a skin on it, and that's it. Have dropped it with no issues, and have never even thought about it cracking to tell you the truth. I am interested to see if the N1 and the Incredible hold up the same way - at least in terms of how I carry it.
