something is up because about a week ago I did a search on Verizon's website of "incredible" and "HTC INcredible" and both searches came back with nothing.

TODAY I did a search of "Incredible" and the HTC Touch Pro 2 came up. That was strange to me...I did not say HTC I simply typed INcredible.

NOw either this is a place holder or the Verizon folks and HTC folks want to capitalize and have people who are tired of waiting for the INcredible to consider the Touch.

Lets hope tomorrow is a better day!

That is strange.
 
Of all the dates that have been discussed here lately, I tend to believe the date that NKT put out there...........April 17th. I am sticking to that date right now. I will be happy if it is earlier but I am not betting on it.

Nothing is up.

It finds "HTC" because the phone is made by HTC.

If finds the word "incredible" because the last review (submitted on march 22) uses the word incredible.

Actually that's not strange and was addressed earlier (by me! ;)) a few pages back. The first (and most recent) review for the Touch Pro 2 talks about its "incredible speed". Searches search ALL text, not just the names of phones.

Edit: too slow on my second time answering this! ;)

...of what exactly? I would hope that you'd know me well enough by now to know that if I had ANY pictures, news, ANYTHING - that you'd know it as well.

Oh, I thought that if the store managers were wondering when it would come out, they would have a "dummy" phone.
 
Is it safe to say that the incredible will not be released this week now? I mean considering we have heard nothing from sources who work at stores regarding shipments.

The "Incredible" search brings up the TP2 because the first line in the ad is "Get Your Family on America's Best Network for Incredible Deals!" The bold letters indicate the search hit.
 
Hey, everyone I am upset that nothing has come from the VZ camp, but I was wondering, and I have said this before, I wonder how much it would cost to actually manufacture a phone from HTC? If everyone on here that wants an awesome phone put up like $20 we would have a hell of a lot of money. We could then have what we want and put it on VZ's network through their Open Handset Alliance and say "Screw you". Do you have any idea what type of ripple that would make in the industry if the subscribers decided what they wanted and for once they got it, without having to look for leaks and innuendo.
 
For what it's worth (prly not much since I am a newbie) I am guessing that the Inc will be out 4/1 at the earliest as the current VZW smartphone promo does not end until 3/31.

elaborate please
 
GOOD NEWS people.

So i was down and out like all everyone else here and i posted about verizon's EPIC FAIL on facebook. An old high school buddy, whom i forgot worked for verizon asked why. I explained and all he said "incredible will be shown tomorrow"

I didn't go looking or asking for - so I'd take it a little more serious then some of the other stuff.

At least anyone reading this may sleep a little easier tonight!

They don't have sh*t, buddy. Like I said earlier today, they were calling and texting ME for info! How pathetic is THAT??!?!? Only Verizon is that ass-backwards, I'm beginning to think.

The cold, harsh reality is this: nothing will come tomorrow, nor the next day. We'll get bits and pieces over the next few weeks and some random day in the middle of April, one of the tech blogs will reveal a press release buried on Verizon Wireless' news page that this phone will be available within a few days. No fanfare, no advertisement, no trumpeting. Just Verizon Wireless adding another phone to the line up.

i really hope and do beleave you are wrong here, but on a side chance that this is how it plays out.. verizon ceo needs to bring the marketing director into his office and fire him :mad:

Ha, yeah? Then which date after that?
 
Well, think about it, if everyone on this forum, or maybe others decided to put up money for HTC to manufacture a phone by their own set spec, we could truly have what we want. VZ has their open handset alliance, which they will allow any phone meeting their CDMA criteria to go on their network. So we could finally say "This is what we want, build it". If this actually worked carriers would 1, pay attention to our needs, and 2, change the game allowing us to have the upper hand. The only thing VZW could do is to charge their contract fee, which they would gladly do but we could have the phone amongst phones!

I doubt all of us chipping in $20 would cover the research and development for the new phone. I would guess that VZW pays millions to license HTC phones.

How do you know this, exactly? Or are you JUST guessing? I mean - if it's accurate information, it doesn't matter if you're a newbie or if you have 1,000 posts!

I believe he says he's guessing on the 4/1 release date, but there's a countdown on the BOGO sale on VZW website which ends with the March calendar.
