FWIW, I walked by a local verizon wireless authorized retailer this morning on my way to work, and the store looked like it was doing a lot of moving and re-arranging...all the ads and posters were down, looked like a lot of the dummy phones were taken down, and best thing...there were boxes lined up on the floor along the walls of the dummy units...make it out to be what you want, maybe they were moving some inventory around, who knows...but it is March 31st, could we see some new stuff come out April 1st?...

For the record I DID NOT take a pic, I'm rocking a half dead samsung alias with a TERRIBLE camera, and I definitely couldn't have gotten a good pic anyway, the store is on a busy street in New York City...a lot of pedestrian traffic

No SS, didn't happen. ;)
 
All I have to say is, considering that tomorrow is April 1st/Fool's, it would be really cruel for anybody to post any false claims tomorrow about spotting the thing in their local stores as a joke.

Really Cruel.

You know it's coming though. Be prepared.
 
WARNING: CRAZY DREAM SEQUENCE BELOW

Ok I think I need a break. I had a dream last night involving the HTC Incredible, Kanye West, and Brittney Spears (I know ... I know). Anyway, the dream involved a police stand off (Kanye) and knocking over a grocery store (Brittney). But at the end I was doing a leaked unboxing of the HTC Incredible. It had a 4.3" screen but they had changed it back to all red. They also changed the shape a little to look chissled (remember the HTC Diamond).

Anyway I think Kanye and Brittney (neither of whom I'm a fan ... definitely not Britteny) represent the craziness surrounding this phone. I have no idea what the rest means except I guess to expect some changes or surprises. In any event, it was all a dream and a really crazy one at that. I think I need a break from this really. I never have dreams that vivid. Just thought that I share that (not sure I should have) but I had to tell someone :)
 
What? Secrets in PMs? There are no secrets in the HTC Incredible forum. Any new info you want to share with the group? :)

Haha, naw. Just something ageofdecay sent me. Apparently it's some way to boot android off the SD for xv6900 users. Haven't tried it yet though.
 
This isn't a complaint at all, in fact i think it's kinda..."cute"...but what the hell is it with all the dream posts???

I mean I want the phone just as bad as the next person but i can honestly say i haven't had any dreams about it. I have plenty of other good dreams but that would be waaaaaaaay off topic...at least in this thread!

100000000 % agree. Not to mention hey went in to my local store posts haha. Crap I still read them though.:eek:
 
okay...here is some sort of dump on the Incredible that I found. Somebody that is much smarter than me might be able to figure it out.

It seems to me that it allows for 720p video recording. Notice the resolution on the encoder as well as the formats:


ro.media.enc.file.format = 3gp,mp4
ro.media.enc.vid.codec = m4v,h263
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.width = 176,1280
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.height = 144,720
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.bps = 64000,2000000
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.fps = 1,30
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.width = 176,1280
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.height = 144,720
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.bps = 64000,2000000
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps = 1,30

Very interesting. I think its also interesting that it appears to have the same camera as the new sprint phone that is also capable of recording 720p video. The info on the specs sight quoting posts of rumors from this forum states that there will be no 720p video recording. Yet if this is the correct ROM, there it is. I sure hope this is right.
 
Ok.. so I walk into this Verizon Store, right? I talk to this CSR and He says.... Then he tells me he's never heard of... then he tells me about the N1 being.......
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Just for the record: I'm pretty skeptical about VZ CSR posts anymore including my own. I'm going on a VZ CSR diet/reduction program!

Edit: I am hoping that I might have something worthwhile to say for post 900. (I'm not holding my breath). ;)

I don't know either. I mean it's like I said in my post ... I don't really do dreams. But that's why I said I need a break .... :cool:

Found this a while back, and the conclusion was that the phone was capable, but the OS may be limiting what it will actually record at.



Free Kappy and Montana Man!
 
That means I'll just have to load a custom rom that has that OS restriction removed then. ;)

I'm with ya man. I'm still optimistic that we might get 720p out of the box, but don't wanna get our hopes too high.

Edit: The fact that the supersonic supports it makes me my feelings go over the 50% confidence line that we will get 720p recording in the Incredible.

The DROID is still out of stock on the vz site... the plot thickens.............
 
Just got off the phone with 2 VZW sales reps convo is below:

Me: Hey, how ya doing, im looking for a phone you might possibly have - the model number is adr6300.
VZW: I have no knowledge that we even have such a phone.
Me: I believe its called the HTC Incredible.
VZW: I have no idea what that phone is its not in our inventory.

Next convo:

Me: Hello, maybe you can help me, im looking for a phone with the model number adr6300.
VZW: There is no release date yet for that phone.
Me: Oh, what about the Nexus One? Any info on that?
VZW: There hasn't been any updates here for that either.

Both calls were placed in VZW stores located near each other. It seems these sales reps are being PROGRAMMED to respond with 'we have no info", although as you can see in the second convo, the guy clearly said there is no release date for THAT phone, so it must exist somewhere.
 
we need to get everyone to take the poll on the above site and choose this:

I hate the iPhone, will never buy it from anyone, and just want to hate-vote on this poll.
:)

But I really need an additional voting option.

I hate my iPhone I have on another carrier and just want to switch to Verizon for some INCREDIBLE goodness.
