The higher ups don't care what we want, and sending them numerous messages won't get them to release this phone any sooner. They are on a schedule that is set in stone. Companies like Verizon Wireless don't just haphazardly release phones. This release has been internally planned and set for a long time now. It's called a business plan. They have to stick to it. There are too many entities involved to just decide to release a phone out of the blue. It all has to be pre-planned for advertising, marketing, testing, production, etc. Emailing them isn't going to get an answer. Because we are just a small percentage of the Verizon customer base. Probably about 1% or less. They have bigger things to worry about than us wanting a phone. They have to make money and have a game plan to maximize profits as much as possible. If this phone hasn't released yet, it's for good reason from a financial prospective for Verizon Wireless and it's share holders. Nothing person towards you, but that's just the facts.
The Nexus One has an AMOLED screen as well. However, I can't imagine the Incredible being released with those same screen problems. Especially after all of the tech press that the Nexus One problems have received.

I know it's nothing personal, and I know it might not (probably won't) have an affect on the release of the Incredible. But if they realise they have a very enthusiastic group of customers interested in their phones and disappointed that they are very slow with releasing them, they might think ahead to future releases and try and be more forthcoming with information, etc.
Also, I fail to see the emails being largely ineffective = emailing them needing to be prohibited. Sure, it might not achieve anything, but nobody is getting hurt and who knows, it might (0.00005% chance) get something done. I just don't see why it's a big enough deal to prohibit it.

2 sub-pixels per pixel is a panel design choice by the manufacturer, not a software or other hardware issue. The arstechnica article with a technical explanation has already been posted a few times in this thread now.I'm hoping we can get some technical insight on this myself. Both screens are the same model manufactured by Samsung. I would think it be more of a processor or driver problem rather than the screen itself?
OH Boy.....I think I am stuck in a flashback......Didn't something similar happen last night?![]()
The restocking fee is only if you exchange the phone for a new/different phone. If you return it and switch to an old phone in the meantime there's no charge.

Some issues/limitations of the N1 screen may be physical, and if the Incredible uses the same screen... it will likely have some of the same limitations.The Nexus One has an AMOLED screen as well.

UPDATE FROM VZW
I stopped in at my local VZW with every intention to pick up the moto droid for 30 days and this is what I found out from the manager.
Don't expect to get the $149/199 deal in store. (The phone is $309 out the door with $100 mail in rebate)
You do NOT have 30 days you have 15 days.
If you talk over 60min on the phone you pay a $35 restock fee

the problem we have here is someone gets information right out of a managers mouth and you guys act as if they are lying.
You have 15 days not 30!
If you use the device for more than 60min of talk time there's a $35 fee rather you get another phone or not.
I asked and was informed. Company policy according to her. Maybe it's change since the last time you checked.

Secrets of the Nexus One's screen: science, color, and hacks
I'm honestly a little bit concerned after reading this article. Clear text is very important to me, especially on a relatively tiny phone screen.![]()
I'm hoping we can get some technical insight on this myself. Both screens are the same model manufactured by Samsung. I would think it be more of a processor or driver problem rather than the screen itself?
Verizon Nexus One and HTC Incredible: Scratching our heads
You could boil this entire forum into this article. At least someone is listening.

I have to disagree with the iphone doing great on verizon. Oh sure there will be a ton of people happy, but will anybody from this forum go to it? Android in many ways is already better than the iphone, also in a lot of areas such as pinch to zoom, Iphone is still far superier. For me I like staying with the underdog with this one. I feel like the open source Android will Devour the Iphone in the end.
Even though Iphone is at the pinacle right now, For years everyone has wanted the next iphone killer. They don't have to look very far, Android is already here. It will make a difference as to what specs each brings to the table, but if the iphone comes across to Verizon with the same old phone, poeple looking for something different will turn the other way. I feel like an open source phone, with basically a free app store has unlimited potential over the iphone.
And if you don't beleive me, Google how to jailbreak Iphones and you will see several ways and poeple that do it to get a new app store called cydia. I know with Android you can root it out, basically the same thing, but iphone users do it to do some of the same functions that Standard Android users can already do. Plus there App Store is locked by what Apple wants you to have, not necesarily what you want.![]()
