i got the Galaxy Nexus but i noticed the screen seems darker compared to my incredible, i thought the nexus was supposed to have a better screen, and the brightness is turned all the way up on both phones
 
Did you notice on the video from Zollotech how responsive the pinch/zoom was? I know it was only a couple seconds but to me it looked very responsive and fast.

I wish he would do a full review even if it's only been a day or so he would be the first youtuber who has done a full review of the phone.

My guess is we will see alot of the reviewers on youtube next week with shipments sent earlier to popular tech sites.
 
Haha. You're right. August 26th roughly 7 weeks difference from July 5th. April 26 roughly 9 weeks. You have to believe that the carriers all pay someone to/or browse these forums with a computer looking for buzzwords. Then look into them. Makes you think BIG BROTHER is everywhere.

It is ridiculously easy to monitor a lot of boards without using buzzwords search. It is also fairly easy to match some users with their account.

Strange. I keep my screen at 10% on Galaxy Nexus and it is about same as incredible at 30% did you have amoled incredible.
 
I bought the S3 for $100 on the 27th to keep unlimited data. Just sold it on ebay for $550. If the Incredible does come in at $500 retail, that means Ill only have to come up with $50 out of my pocket to get it.

How can you sell a phone you dont have?

Did you sell it as open box? Word is you have to open to put in SIM to activate... if you don't activate a 4g phone, they will charge you full retail.

I may be wrong but this is my understanding.

That's what I was told as well. I personally don't see why you need to activate it. You paid for it, and you will be for the next 2 years as well. I think they want to make sure no one can sell them as new on ebay. Dirty SOBs! :mad::D

Yes, you are correct. There is a listing on eBay called "New (Other)" or something like that to differentiate from brand new unopened items.
 
Got this in the mail today...

So reverend, what's your plan?

I will watch you all get this phone and I will drool. I will chew on my lip till it bleeds, hem and haw, make excuses, think about it some more and eventually decide that which I have known all along. I can not afford a new phone. :(
At least not until it comes down in price.
I would ideally get a 4.3" screen, but the Rezound isn't shiny enough anymore to win my monies.
I'm fighting to keep my faith it HTC.
I know in my heart it is the fault of VZ that the wait for this phone has been so long and drawn out, but it's hard not to be upset.

I will be keeping the faith alive my friend. Keepin' the faith alive and living vicariously through y'all.

EDIT:

Buy an iPhone 4s? It'll be the last thing they'll be expecting! ;)
:puke:

Never in a million. Been there done that. Still feel dirty. :D

I can definitely relate to the money part. If I could get the double data I would consider subbing and going contract. I will say that if this phone doesn't show me a marked upgrade over what I got now I can always return her and continue waiting. Looking for love not companionship.
 
I checked out the Verizon kiosk at the mall last night and just asked about the Incredible 4G, he pointed to a sign and said it's coming out this Thursday. It had the price at $199 with a $50 rebate to make it $149...it didn't say anything about unsubsidized price...

It prevents people who don't need the phone to sell it for big profit subsidized by them. Makes sense to me.
 
At first I didn't understand when he said the incredible seemed closer to the screen than the rezound, but then when at the end he started scrolling really slowly (when he said how responsive it was) you can see how it almost appeared 3D, if you look at the droid eye compared to the icons, you can see the icons are closer the eye is further back. Is that what he means by that?
 
armv7 cpu??? i thought it was supposed to be the s4 snapdragon krait... not real informed with phone cpus but that caught my ears... did say it was a 225 gpu

***edit***
after watching the video full screen and looking at the phones screen. i guess the cpu instruction set is armv7 and the board is the msm 8960 which says to me is an underclocked s4 krait since the site says 1.5-1.7 for that soc.... hmm maybe if we root this bad boy we will be able to get the 1.5 out of it
 
It runs a 4 inch qHD LCD screen, 1.2ghz dual-core snapdragon S4,
sense 4.0 with android 4.0.3,
1GB ram
8mp. camera with all that fancy HTC stuff
overall it looks like a worse phone than the SIII at same price.
BUT its HTC...
