LOL I feel your pain. My Storm 1 locks every time I make a call from my quick dial. My camera crashes the phone every time I open it. I'm so disgusted with it I can't stand it.

God mine's not THAT bad- assume you have done a battery pull and are on 5.0

Sorry for the off topic post guys:o

Ahhh sounds like my BB 8830. I am so GD sick and tired of seeing that hour glass. I know when it sits there on the hour glass for more then 2 minutes, its time to pull the battery out.

I like when mine loses all the contacts and phone/text history. I am thinking the first thing I record on my incredible is the crushing or microwaving of the blackberry.

And let's all hope you'll be recording that in 720p :)

It's me. I really can't give my source. You guys are going to have to trust me, I fully understand if you are not willing to. I'll be around if you wish to kill me if the dates go by uneventfully. :D

I hope you're source is right. April 13th - 20th isn't that long of a wait. It's nice to have something more than 'soon'
 
Since Verizon wireless made an appearance in Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 to hit the theaters may 7th what are the chances Robert Downey Jr. is sporting an incredible in Ironman 2. Just bored with lack of new info.
 
I'm sure this is old news but...
I was reaching the 30 day mark on my Eris so I took them back last night to my local corporate store. I liked the Eris, I big beef with it is that I can't feel it in vibrate mode. I'm a school principal and my wife is a surgical nurse so we live with these things in vibrate and were missing messages and calls. Anyways we took the phone back last night and I needed to activate my blackberries today. I first called customer service and got a real cool guy. After he reactivated the Curve, I asked him about about the incredible or HTC 6300. HE was a techy so he was asking me questions while he looked. HE said the Incredible is in the system but nothing is on the page. I ask if he had been trained in it yet and he said no. I also asked how long before a product is launch does he get trained. HE told me sometimes the day before or day of they might give him the phone for an hour and say you are going to have a lot people calling about this phone so you need to get used to it.
I later had to go to the store to return an Eris silicon case. I asked there about the incredible and the two agents starting searching the system with me looking over there shoulder. I saw the incredible come up but nothing on the page.
So I'm from this perhaps Verizon is going to release this as the Incredible. Also the agents in the store were telling me that they got to play with the Eris with the updates OS on it and there really liked it.

I'm still expecting to see something about the Incredible during the Stanley Cup playoffs. The start of the playoffs fits in well with the mid-April release.

Edit: And Verizon is a big sponsor of the NHL
 
Hey Guys,

Been lurking for a while now, just wanted to thank everyone for the great thread and good information. I am so excited for this phone and looking forward to being part of this phones community after the release!

And the Washington Capitals play at Verizon Center and they are currently the #1 team in the NHL (based on points). So we might see a lot of games broadcast from there. No clue if that would make any difference. Just mentioning it.
 
I am new to this phone, the ERIS. I know most of you are far more experienced in this phone...I'm trying here....

HOW do I get the first screen before I enter my touch code to NOT show my message waiting for me?

I think you may be lost........
You may find your question better answered under the Eris thread- Many of us on this thread do not even own an Android device yet and are anxiously waiting for the release of the Incredible. :)
 
If the Incredible is scheduled for a mid April release, then what's the likelihood of us hearing an official announcement REAL soon? Or is it more likrely that they'll just roll it out with no release info or without Best Buy taking pre-orders.

As far as specs are related there should be no 720p recording he said he has seen the phone and nobody he knows said there was the 720p sorry :(

Ok before i make anyone sad obviously this is not confirmed so it very well could come out with 720p recording but i just wanted to say thats another person saying mid-april!

there was a video of an htc exec demonstrating sense on (maybe a desire) a relatively new phone in europe... maybe at MWC... anyway, he said the hardware was capable of 720p recording but that it was not enabled... and then said later that it would 'likely' be enabled in a future update.

if i find the video i'll post a link.

maybe it's the same for the incredible... capable but not yet enabled...
 
Hey Guys, I have a question / something bothering me about my verizon account. I know a couple of guys that post here in this thread actually work for verizon, so I'll assume that you guys know your stuff.

I went into an actual corporate store (not an authorized retailer) with my fiance so that we could get a pair of droids by taking advantage of the BOGO that's going on. She is the primary on the account because she gets a discount, and she was able to upgrade because her contract was at the 1 year mark and did the early upgrade route.

Me, on the other hand, feel like I was screwed royally unless there is something completely missing that I failed to read. I'm not really up for an upgrade at this time, I know it, but I am willing to pay an ETF to get out of my contract. The lady told me, but I cannot find evidence of what she says anywhere, that if I terminate my contract that I will lose my phone number........how is this even possible. Nowhere on the site under the customer agreement does it state anything about your actual phone number being attached directly to the contract, because if that were the case wouldn't you have to get a new number every time you upgraded to a new phone?

Normally, I would just say screw it and pay the ETF, but there is another situation behind the story and I have an upgrade attached to my phone number / account that isn't mine to use.

I hope I've explained this well enough for one of you VZW guys to help me out. I would post this in the verizon forums, but I have a hard time believing that I will get any true answers there and you guys are all techies like me so I figured my best route was here.....sorry for being off topic mods and admins. If you want to reply to this by sending me a pm instead of in this thread that's understandable, I forget which of you work in VZW stores.
 
Im breaking down and buying the droid tomorrow...i am swtiching to verizon from alltel and hoping the incredible drops before the 30 day buyer remorse. Wish me luck im tired of alltel or shall i say atlantic tele corportation that bought out my alltel store.

Hope you're right, but its possible that these are the encoder parms.
The encoder is good for 1280x720 [aka 720P] but its still possible that the recording app limits the max resolution to something less than that. My company develops a PC video product for motorsports that provide extensive transcoding including H.264 [ .m4p].

Before anyone starts flaming, all I'm saying is that its not definitive evidence that the Inc will have 720p recording, nor definitive evidence that it won't. We're all hanging on to threads here........
Click to expand...

That's why I was being optimistic instead of saying it was a fact. I can't guarantee anything because I don't have the phone, nor do I have any VZW sources. Any info I've found and contributed has been found through google search, and the help of others on here.

Now I'm gonna brag a little. I was in the Flickr search group when we first found out that the model number was ADR6300, and we were the first ones to find evidence of a camera > 5MP.

It seems to me that the most valuable evidence comes from that which can be seen such as picture resolution and data dumps. So, like I said, I don't know for sure that it's gonna get 720p video, but if you give me 3:1 odds that it won't, i'll put up some money.

Edit: At worst, let's say they did 'throttle' down the recording using an app layer....how long before the wonderful Android rooting community would unlock it? Having the capability onboard is in itself a big win.
