If they've been trained on Sense 2.1 which is supposedly coming soon, then they will be trained for the Incredible as well. That's the beauty of 1 OS on multiple phones.

I'm with you. I wouldn't mind if there was one "technical" forum that focused on the phone, specs, release info, and a "social" forum that was more wide-ranging.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find....

I think the most reasonable scenario in this regard would be for people to be able to choose camera and memory options. Opt for one of 2-3 memory options, and opt for a camera option that is basic or one with a better sensor/lens combo for those who actually want a decent camera in their phone. Seems like these would be the easiest to implement and would have the most meaningful cost implications that a consumer would appreciate.
Screen size, body and HDMI have physical configuration implications, FM radio and bluetooth are minor cost issues, I don't know how problematic offering different operating systems would be.

Your guess is as good as ANYONE ELSE'S in here as to what Verizon's doing tomorrow! If they don't want to stir up a hornet's nest again, their agenda for tomorrow better start with "I" and end with "E!"
He got tired of NASA to (true story)
You thought that was a true story?
O.K. with all the positiveness I can muster(for Berry), are you like 13 yrs old? People don't build their own phones through HTC for Verizon and they don't build their own rockets and orbit the earth. It's a quaint story, but the guy never did it. And the people at HTC are way too busy to deal with some guy in America who thinks they should build is prototype phone and have it done in a couple weeks.
Sorry to be the voice of reality here. Not trying to be mean in any way shape or form.
Let's pray for some Incredible news tomorrow!!!!!
I don't believe it. Nothing personal.

Aww man, I search testman for "HTC Incredible" and for the first time got a result. But it ended up being the Touch Pro 2 :/

Oh, one more thought for everyone that thinks this process is impossible. How do all these Chinese no name companies manage to have knock-off phones with almost the same technology, for instance the fake iPhone, or Hero obviously someone is manufacturing these items and I can't imagine they have the money of say, Google, Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T. Here is a cool video.

Nice. I thought, "Why should Steve have all the fun? CLICK.....CLICK"
You got me too.
The VZW salesmen around here are saying no N1 in stores too. Only online.
If you're telling the truth, I love you. If you are leading us on.. I hope you have a nightmare tonight!
I'm caught up!!! I actually got home from work at 10 pm. My college daughter, who is home for spring break, and is a night owl, got me to take her to see a movie (ghost writer). Got home at one am. Just got caught up... now it's time for bed! nite!
Moral of the day for Steven: Don't get so caught up in hoping for an announcement for a phone that when it doesn't come, your entire mood changes and you start to bark at people!
Yes, I'm sick!

Yeah, got to hate a post that just leads no where, reveals nothing and just pretty much wastes everyone's time.

oh I see what you did there.
tomorrow's the day: announcement of the Incredible, released on the 26 (Verizon usually releases phones on Fridays from what I can tell), last exam of the week, then lab, then spring break and if all goes well i can play with the Incredible the entire week.
flashbacks of being 7 and trying to sleep on Christmas eve tonight
I don't think we are going to hear ANYTHING tomorrow. I work for VZW. I enquired with a manager/trainer and I probed, like hard.
"Is the HTC Incredible going to have SKYPE?"
He/She answered and from his/her answer, I knew it was going to be called the HTC Incredible, b/c he/she responded as if that was a REAL phone abt to launch.
I also said, "I heard it's going to be released next week??"
He/She looked at me kinda crazy and basically gave me a NO.
I personally think it's going to be released in mid-April. That's a total guess.

I am not doubting any of you that work for Verizon, or have sources within Verizon, but I'm finally done taking into account all these reports about people having knowledge about whether or not it'll show tomorrow. You all can have your opinion, but I'm starting to think store managers have no idea about whether or not it'll show, and have no idea about the release date. All that we can all really do is wait and see. If it's not shown tomorrow, there's still a chance it'll be shown Wednesday, so don't get yourself too heated up. Now if it doesn't show at CTIA, I'll be pretty disappointed like all of you here. We've been patiently waiting for a LONG time.
But also, like other posters have said in the past, Verizon doesn't owe us anything. We're not even supposed to know about the phone, and 99% of their customers out there have no idea about it. They have their strategy, and it'll be a pleasant surprise for most of the people out there waiting. They're not focusing on the small percentage of us that have seen leaks, but their consumer base as a whole, and they'll release the information as they feel it will be most beneficial to them. Imagine the amount of money Verizon would miss out on for Droids and Eris' if they announce a much better soon coming out soon. They want to get the most they can out of their current promotions, and lets be realistic, how many customers do you expect Verizon to actually lose by not announcing the Incredible at CTIA, as long as it still releases at least on par, or even before their competiting carriers phones?
I trust the word of NKT and Stericson that the phone will be releasing soon, and if it's April, that's not too long of a wait, and once the phone is officially announced, we'll all forget about CTIA and all the drama of CTIA. I'm just glad Verizon is finally upping their game. Their starting to open up their playbook a little bit, now offering Palm phones, allowed the Androids to really get kickstarted, etc. I think you all aren't giving them enough credit.
Just my .02

Yeah, I agree. Seriously, VZW employees don't know ANYTHING about launch dates and new phones UNTIL VZW wants them to know. Period. That was my guess, from a response I got from a trainer/manager who deals with launches.
I say take a couple days off, wait till CTIA (hopefully we'll hear something) and kikiiiit. We know the phones coming, it's badass..that's good enuff.
my .02..lol..
Quick off topic observation, but if NKT saw the incredible and the vzw nexus one...
That would mean the vzw nexus one is being tested...and wouldn't that imply verizon will sell it directly? Otherwise, if google was just selling a phone that was capable of being used on verizon, vzw would have no purpose testing it...you dig?
NKT, thoughts?

Absolutely right. Leaks are something that come with the territory and they have to realize that for better or for worse, leaks are going to happen. They know that a tiny percentage (namely us who are addicts in here) have already seen and read things that were never designed by Verizon (or HTC) to be seen. But then there are the "uh-oh" leaks that are far beyond their control. There's a certain degree of trust and confidentiality involved between employer and employee to not casually show off a mysterious, time-sensitive box that shows up out of the blue with "DO NOT OPEN WITHOUT FURTHER INSTRUCTION" written all over it. I realize full well that Verizon would never have wanted my VZW friend to show me that box and, in hindsight, I probably should never have posted about it as all it has done is ramp up the tensions and expectations for a lot of you in here. Not to ramble on, but what happened to me could have easily happened to anyone here who knows someone at VZW. It was just luck of the draw. And with the mere knowledge of mysterious packages showing up in recent days to some of us in here, Verizon and HTC are still none the worse for it. Let's face it - we're passionate as anything about their products, but even collectively, we're very, very small potatoes to them.
And all this "box leak" has served for me is a good dose of grief and frustration that I have no control over. I won't get any inside scoop on what that box contains until I am allowed to know. That's it. As for right now, it remains a leak with no means to an end. But when and if - for whatever it's worth - I am able to find out anything more, you'd better believe that you guys in here will be the first to know. Here's hoping that it's sooner rather than later!
