NKT, can you tell if it has the noise cancelling mic? Looks like the USB plug is on the side have you heard anything about dock accessories?

Edit: Also can you tell what the Verizon specific sense UI features are?

Edit2: So it has the FM receiver, how about an FM transmiter? (Good for hooking to a car radio without a direct input, which I don't have, or a tape deck adapter, which I do and is ugly).
 
Hey guys, first time poster here, but I've been lurking since the passion/bravo forums. I'm wondering if we will even have to worry about waiting in line on release day. Wouldn't you consider us a minority of people waiting for this phone? I mean, sure, the average Joe Consumer will no doubt want a taste of it after seeing whatever marketing VZW has in store, but by that time we'll have ours pre-ordered and ready to go.

Just so we can see the back a little better.

Don't mean to pick on you, but I wonder how much it costs Verizon or other phone companies with all the 30 day returns?

I'd like to run out and pick up an Eris to hold me over, but I just don't feel it would be right.

No, I'm not trying to be holier than thou or anything, just stating a point.
 
Ah, my faith is restored! Thanks, NKT, for the putting the "credible" back in Incredible!

On a side note, can anyone comment on the inclusion of Google Navigation and speech-to-text on the Incredible? I'm assuming it's standard like on the N1, but I'm not too familiar with Sense UI products. Thanks.

Not sure about the EC mic. I think there's a port by the speaker for that.

As far as VZW branded stuff, the only things I noted were VVM, and the same VZW tab in the market. It's not like it was loaded with VCAST, VZW Nav, etc...

Yep, same nav as the Eris 2.1. Don't know about STT.
 
Sounds awesome if it takes good indoor,low light pics I am in. Or just better than the droid does because it is pathetic for a 5 mp camera.

Considering the fact they charge you a $35-$45 restocking fee and then probably re-sell the phone as new I would say they make money off of returns. Just my opinion but I think they are doing okay with it.
 
So, it's quite obvious that this phone has been evolving for some time now. First it was all red on the back, then we saw the pictures of the red buttons on the sides and red usb port. Now there buttons are all black and only the ring around the camera is red. So, I personally think that it will still have a few minor cosmetic changes before it's released, kinda like when the Bravo turned into the Desire and looked extra polished up and slick when it launched.

NKT, do you know if the phone is in final build status yet? Or do you think it could still evolve a bit more before it's released? And by the way, thanks so much for the information and pictures. I had kinda lost interest lately and you've peaked my interest again. Thanks.

I don't think the device name is usually on the device (or has to be). At least not always. There is no device name on my enV2.

As for the sense thing, I don't know about that.

NKT...so if you had to choose N1 or Incredible? and why?
Click to expand...

It's a very tough choice...

The N1 feels VERY nice in the hand. With the curved edges, it just "feels" nice.

The Incredible, while still very nice to hold, just doesn't feel the same.

With that said, I like Sense UI so that rules out the N1. Plus I have heard about hardware quality issues with the N1 (reception, static, etc.).

They're both fantastic devices. So if you're on VZW and have a NE2 the Incredible would be the way to go without a doubt.

I think this is pretty much production. With the stage it's at in testing, there usually aren't any physical changes.

This looks like it's still not a "Final" version because of the red inside, just like the desire had colored guts, but when it was shown at MWC, the color disappeared.
 
The speaker is no longer behind a grill on the back of the phone like it was when the back was red. Notice the picture. It's just a little oval shaped hole now.

HTC phones don't have their names on the actual device only the prototype/pre production phones do .

Yep, that's what I think. I'm seeing a pattern developing her with HTC perhaps. Notice that the optical track pad is now round and shiny just like the Desire, where earlier it was just a little hole in the front shiny black plastic casing. I think this thing is going look seriously SICK when it finally releases. It's getting closer, that's for sure.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the restocking fees. They know best, they wouldn't be doing it if they weren't still making boat loads of cash.

This could still be the final version. They might just be leaving those off the backplate for testers so people are less likely to be certain about what the phone is.

I just returned a Droid on the 30th day; I had no problems paying the $35 restocking fee knowing that something(s) sweet is about to come to VZW.
With today's news from NKT, I'm glad I did return it.

--First post, been lurking for quite a while but today's news warranted a registration & post. Good work on everyone's part who's participated in this thread.
