HAHA I got a good laugh at this, I twitted this to HTC and Verizon yesterday:

thanks for all the info on the incredible today @htc @vzwoffers, catch the sarcasm?

and they twitted this back today:

VZWOffers

@will_ayres Hi Will, Yes the sarcasm was loud and clear :-) We do have some good stuff coming soon, stay around, okay?

"Coming soon" is relative. Remember that a week is "soon" to some, while 6 months is "soon" to others. I just hope it's not another carrot to dangle in front of us.

For sure, but that was the first time I've had a "whoah!" moment with a cell phone in a long time. Stuff on the screen is nice, but in the end, it's all just electrons.
 
Wouldn't it be nice if they annouced the Incredible has built in LTE and 3G capabilities with the front side camera for video calls.

That would be sweet but very unlikely at this point seeing as they've said they're first LTE device would be coming next summer.
 
Even if CTIA comes and goes with no Incredible debut, I am still hopeful for some unofficial leaks. From MWC, we got a video leak. LV is full of tech people and alcohol, the odds are in our favor that we will hear/see something new.
 
First time poster, so please be kind if I make any wrong assumptions in asking this question: in comparing the Incredible and the Evo, why do some people knock the Sprint network so badly?

My understanding is that with respect to voice -

* Sprint and Verizon use the exact same technology and frequencies
* Sprint subscribers automatically roam to Verizon towers if a Sprint tower is not available (at no add'l cost)
* In other words, if you can make/receive a call on Verizon, you can make/receive a call on Sprint

My understanding is that with respect to data -

* If you're in a Wimax 4G city on Sprint, you get Wimax 4G
* If you're not in a Wimax 4G city, you get Sprint 3G
* If you can't get either Sprint 4G or 3G, you degrade to Sprint 1x
* If you can't get any Sprint data, you degrade to Verizon 1x (at no add'l cost)

For purposes of comparing which of these devices might be best for me, can people tell me if I have these facts correct or not?

works well enough you can use your big toes to work the slider as Megan Fox demonstrated on the commercial with those thumbs of hers.

I have a co-worker on Sprint and that is what he claims as well. However, if you could get Verizon 3G as a fallback, I would be sold on Sprint. Data coverage is what is key for me and around my parts, that would mean mostly 1x... However, I have always been skeptical of his claims..

I want to start a petition to have CTIA take place in an EST location. This waiting around for all the damn westerners to wake up is pissing me off :D

As a "damn westerner," I agree! I'd love to wake up to news I can read over coffee than wait for it myself:D

I knock the Sprint network because it didn't work for me. I had no reception at my office or at home and would drop calls constantly. I am in the Los Angeles during the day(all over LA County) and 45 miles away when I go home. I just couldn't handle not getting what I was paying for. Verizon has been 100 times better.
Just my .02 cents
