Store employees know nothing. I doubt an entire country of minimum wage employees are keeping this thing under wraps for fear of losing such a well paying job.......lol At a MINIMUM, they would be telling thier family and friends. There are no more secrets in the age of the internet. Ask Tiger Woods.

Actually Verizon pays EXTREMELY well, has one of the best benefits package of any company, and is consistently ranked in the top 5 as far as training and being one of the best companies to work for. So do your research. They are also VERY serious about product info/leaks, etc. Employees were fired and the Secret Service was involved in several instances where employees merely searched the system to see if Barack has an account with Verizon. No one wants to risk something like that just for breaking the rules, and it is absolutely true that retail store employees know NOTHING about new equipment until the trainings come out, unless they've heard rumors, or follow the forums online- so when they say they know nothing, unless you can tell from their body language that they are completely BSing you, its true. And if they did know something, chances are, its coming soon because they would have already seen the training for it, unless they were getting their info from the rumor mill or the internet..
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the anticipation is killing me....

while good news is coming in, my brain refuses to let me get my hopes up just to be let down again- it's like waiting for the results of a test- did i pass, did i fail, when will the scores be in, what's taking so long, must be bad news, could be good news, anyone else heard, does it usually take this long, what signs should I be looking for, is there any way to tell, should I see a psychic, see a psychiatrist, see a stripper- is there an end to this madness, will somebody please just tell me when this damned PHONE is coming out- that would be INCREDIBLE.

I hate you vzw, I hate you!
:o

EDIT: I feel a little better- what about an easter release to combat the "jesus phone"?
 
Playing devil's advocate on the Cellebrite news, does this really give us any indication of a release date?

As I understand it, the device transfers phone data such as contacts and photos. To do that, all you need is the file location and database format for the transferred items. Presumably these are standardized across all Android 2.1 phones (if not all Android versions). So if Cellebrite can transfer Droid information, for example, then presumably it can also transfer for the Google N1, Incredible, Desire, Hero, Shadow, etc. etc. Basically, you could list any Android phone (whether it exists or not).

So as I see it, the Cellebrite listing tells us that the Incredible exists (which we already knew), that Verizon intends to sell the Incredible (which we already knew), and that the Incredible runs Android (which we already knew).

All valid points. However, I believe it puts us an important step closer to a release and seems to be yet another indicator that an April release is a very strong possibility. At this point, we'd all love something more definitive, but we'll take what we can get.

Fair enough. Its certainly more concrete than the "friend-of-a-friend" or "in-store-intel-mission" reports that attempt to pass as news in here. :)

lol...thanks, but Kcoan and Kbusch deserve it!

Indeed they do... and honestly, I kinda feel bad for getting credit for the tip, just because I tipped them first. I'm sorry. I feel dirty and whore-like. Please forgive me, Kcoan and Kbush.

My days "awhoring" are over. :( ;)

Believe me, Cellbrite knows the difference. There would be NO WAY to transfer info from a eris by selecting another device. One day working with this machine teaches u that. Cellbrite will only recognize the device if THE EXACT MODEL # is selected.
 
On the Cellebrite web site there is a list of all the phones they support. HTC Google Nexus One is on the list, also Eris and Droid and all the others that appear in kcoan's photo of the Cellebrite screen.

But the HTC Incredible does not appear in the list:

Cellebrite Mobile Data Synchronization - Supported Phones

Now, if they wanted to hype their support for all the latest 'n' greatest mobile phones, don't you think Cellebrite would list absolutely everything? Where's the HTC Incredible?

Unless...maybe it does have another name I don't know about? You guys are the experts here...

Well, the Incredible doesn't technically "exist" yet, which is probably why it isn't listed.

I would think that they would only put released phones, or maybe ones that are least announced. They aren't going to put on their website a phone that hasn't even been announced yet.

Kcoan's post is confirmed. My colleague had to update his cellbrite machine but the incredible has been added in the last 24hours. Here is the pic he texted me!

You should get him to look in there and see if the EVO/Supersonic is in there... :)

My guess would be that the website hasn't been updated.

Well ... my in-store mission was thwarted by a sales lady near where my dad lives. She defended Verizon's lack of publicity and held the line well, and as far as the Incredible went, I think my housecat knew more. :confused:

meow. (Where's that Google Translate for Animals when you need it?)
 
I'm gonna go out of the limb and say that maybe it's because the phone doesn't technically exist yet. :) Same reason why it's not on Verizon's website either.

We know it exists though.

agreed Steven, I have been following the info for the Inc on AF more than anywhere else. Engadget, BGR, and AC are good places to supplement the info, but AF is where most of the "breaking news" has been coming from, in regards to the Inc. I mean, AC didn't even cover the infamous "box" ;-)

hahahahah! Tru Dat! You seem to be on top of things! Cudos to Montana Man for the infamous "box". Why do you contribute over AF? We're nice people! :)
