Well, mainly updates as in. New android builds. Like Android 3.0 or something. Im pretty sure the Nexus One is going to be the first to get it, maybe among a few phones getting it. The HTC Evo has a chance of getting it if it released in summer. Just makes sense that google would give the update to their own phone first before others.

I know that that's the assumption, but you know what happens when you assume. I mean just look at the DROID 2.1 update. It uses the stock version and has still had its problems. Until it actually happens, I can't bank on the N1 getting the updates by google's command.

I hope that they are able to push out N1 updates (almost) immediately after the update OS version is complete. This would give a big advantage to the Google sold phones, and in my opinion would give them a big advantage to the tech savvy folks who don't necessarily need a lot of carrier customer service support.

"start spreadin' n'neeeeeeeeews.... I'm leavinnnn' t'daaaay!" ;) (I know you love that song!)
 
All you guys are probably gonna get mad at me for this, but i dont care...it seems that the Verizon people really dont have any idea about whats going with the phones...

Lee: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Thomas: Do you have a new android devices coming out in the future?
Lee: Yes, the NEXUS.
Lee: They haven't told us the exact date. Some time before summer.
Thomas: is that the only one?...i read something on the internet about the HTC Incredible or the adr6300
Lee: I just heard about the Incredible. I've not yet heard about the 6300.
Thomas: well the adr6300 is the model number for the Htc Incredible, but do you have any idea when it might be released?
Lee: No idea. We have to learn everything (before they're released) from gossip.
Lee: Verizon is very hush hush about that.
Thomas: oh, lol...thats what i figured
Thomas: i have my upgrade on April 9th and im just anticipating a new android phone at least before june...because i dont want to settle with the droid
Lee: I hear you. A lot of people are waiting for the next generation of DROID.
Thomas: well, thank you for you help...hope to see something soon =)

incredible must be under another name..this dude seems to think its from another carrier..i should have asked is the evo can be unlocked and used on verizon! dammitt!!!

That looks almost identical to what someone else posted. Must be a form letter. :( I thought the same thing when I first read it. Then figured maybe he just thought you were looking outside the network (ready to "cheat", if you will) at other phones and wanted to make sure you understood that if you purchased an android from another carrier, it probably won't work for VZW. Just how I understood it...

Nothing to get mad about....Those that do, have something wrong with them.

This conversation just seems to emphasize whate we already know. VZW doesn't let its reps know jack poop. (keeping it clean for the kiddies)

Yea i don't have a ton of music like some other ppl. I've seen someone post saying they have like 100gb worth of music. Yes, honestly, like 8gb is enough for me. But on a smartphone, i would have to go with atleast 16gb. I used an iPhone 3g 16gb for a while and i was surprised at the amount of space i used in the short amount of time i had it before selling it for some cash. I used up more than half of the 16gb and was left with like 4gb. I didn't have any movies or stuff either.

I don't mind carrying 2 devices, whats so bad about having a phone and an iPod. We've been doing it for years already lol. Yea i agree, doesn't take much to perfect music playing.

The only reason i brought up the whole thing is because people posted about the 8gb movinand the Incredible is supposed to have and it being a huge factor and pro for the phone. It honestly doesn't make a big difference to me. I already have an ipod touch that i paid good money for, i still might as well use it. Why not use something you already have?
Click to expand...
That's true, if you've already bought it then not using it would just be a waste of money.

What's so special with this type of internal storage the Incredible supposedly has 8GB of? Is it faster than standard flash memory?
 
Steven58 said:
I called them this morning about something else. I actually demanded that she give me the date for the Incredible. She said she would, but she had never heard of it! heh!

lol, we are driving them crazy...my dad use to have the number for the CEO, i wish he still did, cuz i would be bugging the crap outta him right now then...i would probably tell him he should release the EVO instead

EDIT: I would be like this guy "RELEASE THE EVO!!!"

It will be built in memory similar to the Palm Pre or an iPhone, and should be at least a little faster (not exactly sure on the speed difference) than an sd card. The fact that it's already there means you can save money by buying a smaller micro SD card than you would have to if you bought the N1.

Edit: It's still unknow if you'll be able to install apps on the moviNand memory. If so that would be a big advantage for heavy app users since current android phones only allow apps to be installed to the onboard ROM storage which is usually only 512MB to 1GB.

Also, you can install the apps on it. I realize the 150MB or so already given in the Eris is a lot, but for people like me, we need it. I work in a Physics/Chem lab, and like to have all the data I can with me at all times. This usually means my phone, which has the periodic table of elements (along with all thermodynamic data I could ever want for those elements and a couple of thousand or so other common compounds), all physical constants, at least 2000 physical equations (and chemical ones) in categories from quantum to relativity to super fluid statistical analysis. Now, I have no idea how to use the vast majority of these things, but the point is many times I have needed something that I thought I would never need, and it is so useful to have it right there.

-Nkk

EDIT: forgot to say, together, these take up about 34 or so MB.
EDIT2: Wait...its unknown? Crap. I guess it would not be too hard for my friend who wrote these to put a .txt file on the sd card and read from that, but this is chewing up memory, considering I have a lot of other apps that I use often that are also taking up room. Thanks for that info.
 
Im sure you guys can help me out. First of all im still with alltel bc my contract was not bought out by verizon. We will be switching to verizon in a few days. My question is if i buy the buy one get one free driod offer and then the incredible or nexus one drops before the 30 days is up. Would i have to return both phones or just one

If you only return one phone it will be as if you never got the BOGO deal. So if you bought 2 for $199, and you only return one phone, they won't credit your account any money, and you'll have to pay whatever the cost of the incredible is.

You return both. If you return one, they see it as you returning the free one, and thus do not refund a thing.

-Nkk
 
another question that yall may be able to answer even though this is the incredible forum. If the nexus one dropped and i had subscribed to a family plan but it was before the 30 day window was up would there be any way to get the nexus one subsidized if it is offered that way bc of the way it is sold through google.

Hiya,

Ok, I am a little confused now.

I returned my droid a couple days ago (on my 30th day actually). And I was given the full credit back onto my Debit card ($199.99 +tax) even though my wife kept her droid (we took advantage of the BOGO deal).

Will this somehow mess me up when I finally get to buy the incredible when it is released?

Also, do not know if this matters, but I did not take another phone, I told the manager of the store I will remain without a phone until the incredible comes out and he said that would be fine, and that "when" the incredible does come out, I will still be entitled to the new customer pricing.

That's odd. Good....but odd. I've talked to a couple different reps and they've both told me the same thing, that if you only return one, it's like you didn't take the BOGO deal, but you've definitely seemed to have lucked out. I'd just take it how they've given it to you for now, and then if they try to pull someting funny later, say you never would've kept the one droid if it meant you wouldn't be allowed to get it under the BOGO deal.
