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.
Free Kappy and Montana Man!
Thanks for the update!
Thats EXACTLY what I did Sunday. While my wife was shopping I went to Best Buy. They have a better return program. 30 days no restocking fee. and you can do it 3 times according to the salesman and the manager.
Anyways my thoughts were. I want to learn about the android phones while I wait for our mystery phone. So I stopped by Verizon & BB to ask. Verizon was $79 bucks, Best buy was $29 bucks, & Amazon is free. with a NE2. And get this... BB price matches!
So after re-clarifying the return policies, I thought ok, the ERIS is the next best thing. Same OS but 1.5 However, there is a 2.1 update overdue. So I figure its a matter of days or weeks till its 2.1 and it will be as close to the "incredible" as I can get till its released. Then return and rock. If not, replace with the Droid for 30 more days, then return and rock. And if for some reason the "inc" is still a mystery, I'll decide wether I keep the Droid or go back to my Curve till I'm happy.
In any case I get 30/60 days with a droid OS to evaluate while I'm waiting with no out of pocket dollars! It was a no brainer.
And here's the best part. The 2.1 with sense is not out yet but.....it IS leaked for the Eris! I was on 2.1 within the hour!
I know we've been seeing the story, but I really didn't wanna see it on the news...Im wondering about the return policy too. It's great how you get 3 returns but how long exactly is the delay?

Oh, okay, basically if you exchange it for a phone at the same time you return it your good to go?
Remember to put that thing back to stock before you return it. I personally would not have risked rooting the phone and putting android 2.1 on it. If they somehow find out, your screwed and stuck with that phone for 2 years while the all so mighty HTC Incredible gets released. You may regret rooting it if you plan on returning it.I do find that interesting. They assured me that as long as I return it to the BB store, everything would be done there, there will be no issues. Umm... I sure hope your wrong!
I was quite up front with both the salesman and the manager about the fact this was NOT the phone I was looking for. And it will be more than likely be returned when the "mystery phone" arrives. And if it DOESN'T arrive, I will more than likely replace it with a Droid. They had no issues with that.
I may not though... this thing is SWEET with Sense 2.1 !!!
I thought memory & speed might be an issue. Well... not so far. All my pics vids and music I had on my Berry ate up a gig. Now I got 8? Sweet!
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.
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.
(Just joking about the probation increase)
TS out
Oh, okay.....no need to root the phone to get android 2.1 on it?
And I'm having fun while we wait!
