So moving on... (THANKS AGAIN GUYS!! ;):))

What are the first things everyone plans to do with the incredible??
1. Spend hours playing with it.
2. Since I have been tinkering with android development I will take one of the exploratory apps I've developed to learn the api deploy it to the phone.
3. ????
4. Profit
 
They last for as long as the staff member issued it for. It wasn't me, cause I do not give out infractions, I just warn the member and if not heed to then I just ban. Simple as that.


With responses like that its no wonder you are on probation. :D

First of all, it is true that we somewhat modeled the EVO thread after the Incredible thread but that's about it. The posters over there are a bit more reserved in their comments than the ones here mainly because we do know the device is coming out and thus there isn't any let down feeling. Spec wise the phone is outstanding and we know it. The carrier, well that all depends on where one lives and their past experiences. I've never had a problem with Sprint, but with Verizon and AT&T I have. for others, its the other way around. either way I am the type that tries not to bash another phone or carrier and especially as a moderator we really shouldn't come across as bias anyway. Regardless, there are plenty of Guides and mods overlooking this forum and thread, (and impressive thread at that, since its one of the biggest and most searched after threads in the net). So I basically do not have to step in and go off on folks when they act inappropriate. Over in the EVO thread/forums its a different story. Hope that answers the first quote.

in a way i understand the reason why you guys are so up in arms over the Incredible, its an outstanding phone and yet Verizon is acting like it doesn't think so. But soon enough it will be here, just be patient folks.

as for the second quote, bite me sprint hater, I just increased the probation to 4 weeks. :p

(Just joking about the probation increase)

TS out


;) :D Thanks for clarifying!

and YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY correct! It is based off of location (networks). ATT and Sprint are only so-so where I live, but I do well with VZW. Thanks for not increasing the probation! haha :D
 
Has anyone used the Voice input for Nexus one? Is it awesome? I think this would be a very big feature to be left out of the Incredible, but from what I've heard about the Desire, I don't think it will be included.

Anyone with hands on experience know if this will/will not be available on the Inc?

I thought this was a feature of Android 2.1 not specific to the Nexus One???
 
if your friend works at verizon and has an incredible, have him send you a camera phone pic. I 100% stand by the statement if you don't have a pic, it doesn't exist.

There's nothing incriminating about taking a pic.

While you're at it make him do a live stream of him calling me at 1-555-555-4373. If he can't do that, then it doesn't exist.;)

If you go through all 18,000 posts here... you'll realize only one thing, NKT is the only person you should trust with valid information. He actually stepped up and got pics of the phone (given they were bad pics), but honest pics nonetheless. Every other SINGLE post is speculation and rumors, absolutely nothing concrete.

The "my friend works for verizon" posts are getting old and providing ZERO credible information to the people watching this thread. I'm personally getting tired of it.
 
I'm not sure you can piggy back the eris and DROID like that for a 60 day trial period with out at least switching to your old phone for a period in between.

I asked that very question. That's a Verizon policy not a BB policy. ;) Apparently once BB gets the phone, their policies apply. :D

BTW... I was VERY specific when inquiring about all this. I wanted to be sure I would NOT get stuck, and would NOT lose my NE2 status. Otherwise I would of just waited. They gave me no downside to all this.

Best case..I end up with an "Incredible", worst case, and Eris with 2.1! I can live with that. Stories are the Eris is faster on 2.1 with nothing to compare it to I haven't noticed any lag to speak of. Been having a blast! And yes all the voice stuff works so far. And the 3D voice GPS. Is it buggy? Yep a little.. which is prolly the reason they delayed it. But hey.. it's a 30 day experiment till the "real thing" arrives ! :)

Sense UI puts a layer on top of the standard OS which handles things like input (See different keyboard for Sense), and I've heard in the past few weeks, that the Desire doesn't copy the same voice input for all text boxes, etc.....like the N1 does.

I can't really confirm or deny, and would appreciate anyone who can.

I'm still not seeing your reasoning to suspect this is a Release Candidate instead of an alpha/beta release.....If the incredible was designed for vzw from the beginning, the things like ro.product.brand would be verizon from the get go.

You're right. ro.product.brand = verizon would have applied for all builds.
Here's the kicker from the 24 March build:
ro.build.version.codename=REL :: where REL = Release
 
for what it is worth, i just called my corp rep at Verizon. He was very excited about the Nexus One saying it is "right around the corner" and he also was under the impression that they would be selling the Nexus One in his store. When I said that it sounded like the Nexus One will only be sold on line he said "that is news to me".

I asked about the Incredible and he was not aware of that phone. I told him to be on the look out and he said he would e-mail me or call me when he gets info on the Incredible.

None of this is new news, but I thought I would share it with thr forum.

That's fine, just skip over those parts. Most of this thread is based off of rumors and speculation.. It's what keeps us going.. (You included, even if you don't want to admit it ;))

It's coming, no worries.
 
Im addicted. I'm driving 7 hours and I pulled over at a McDonalds to check out what's going online.

and yeah I agree....

It's part of stock 2.1, but I've heard that Sense UI does not include it. Does anyone have a confirmation that Sense 2.1 has voice input?






Free Kappy and Montana Man!


Yeah i saw a video of the desire and its keyboard had it...the legends keyboard didn't have it tho so i thought that was weird...maybe it depends on the phones hardware

OK everyone quit posting until NKT posts something new. Blue Rocket is getting tired of it, so it needs to stop. I don't want to get him mad, so everyone just wait until we get an update from NKT.;)

Edit: Don't get offended, this is just how it sounds coming from someone else in the forum. If you only want NKT's posts, i'm sure they'll be thanked a lot and you can just read those and skip the others, but we've already rehashed the can/cannot discuss thing many times.

I thought that was for Sprint employees? Or are they having a meeting themselves?

Last night someone passed by a Verizon store and saw a bunch of Employees standing around like they were having a meeting or training of some sort. By the time he got a pic they'd gone.
 
I heard the Droid 2.1 update doesn't get everything the Nexus One has. Wonder whats up with the HTC Incredible, PLAY NICE ON THE VERIZON NETWORK SO YOU RELEASE!!!
