Hey guys, hopefully this phone will be released in the next week or two. I know the weekends are hard, since there's really not much technology news on the weekends. So, here is something to tide you over till Monday. Have a great weekend! Go have a beer, cause trust me, most of us in here need one. haha

The only reason to pick the droid over the eris is so if you slide out the keyboard it will give you better aerodynamics as you frisbee it into the trees.

my brother has the moto droid. I think it's cool. I'd get it but I want the snapdragon processor. i'm more tech savvy than my brother is heh.
 
So does anyone have any info on an APPROXIMATE release date with the added info of the Incredible being added to cellebrite? Anyone know how long it took for the Moto Droid/Eris/any other Verizon phone to be released after it was entered into the cellebrite?

First post here, but been lurking for probably close to a week...eligible for an upgrade on 4/13, so I'm hoping it will get released before then. Might have to go to Droid and do the whole hope it gets released in 30 days/return Droid and go back to old phone until Incredible is released thing, so tired of my Voyager. Still can't totally decide between Incredible/Nexus One, at this point it's pretty much whichever gets released first. Sorta leaning towards Incredible at this point, but either works for me.

I'm sure it's the phone for a lot of people, but I have a problem with liking sliders/keyboards in general as far as phones go.
I would imagine that in a few more years you will be hard pressed to find a phone with a slider/keyboard.
:D imho :D
 
Thanks Nash, have a good Easter weekend. I'm a few beers in and about to leave work to have dinner w/ the wifey at a quaint little place on a golf course.

Happy Easter everyone.

the waiting is excruciating... been waiting for an android SINCE G1!! (waiting for an android on vzw), then snapdragon + xperia x10 announced (got a get a 1ghz processor!), then n1 (so finally about to change carrier once and for all for a "google experience") then n1 for vzw announced, waiting, waiting, then incredible shows up (up for renewal, more likely than n1), still waiting, waiting.....

my phone is 4 years old.....='(
 
I sure hope it comes out in no more then 2 weeks. I need something better then the Touch Pro 2 with much better selection of apps.

BTW, has anyone thought about making an app for this forum for the Android? Would be nice to have to see what others have to say and maybe help out without the need to be directly at a computer.
 
I just stumbled across this site in the last couple of days. I'm glad to see there are other people in the world who get obsessed as easily as I do. I only recently made the decision to get an android phone. Of course my initial thoughts were to get a Motorola Droid. My obsessive nature led me to do exhaustive research on the net. I started to lean toward the Nexus One, but still hadn't made up my mind. I decided to stop by a Verizon store and check out what they had. I was asking the sales clerk about the release date of the Nexus One when he clued me into the existence of the Incredible. I'm glad he did. I went back to work, did a Google search and found you guys. Now I'm locked into obsessing over it until it comes out. Then comes the hard part: convincing the wife to break our AT&T contract early. She has already agreed to switch to Verizon, the only question is when (the contract on her phone isn't up until December). In the mean times, thanks for providing an interesting read!
 
Okay... maybe I am obsessed. Is is wrong to be in love with a phone I have never met? :eek: Intrnet romance is risky....... maybe we will not really like each other in the end..... I don't really believe that but I am willing to take a leap of faith..... BUT Hoarding is just WRONG. Verizon needs treatment. There is treatment for hoarding. We could hire some professionals to help them see how destructive hoarding is....look what it has done to their loyal followers...the pain and heartache they have inflicted on those who keep them in business. Their own quality of life would improve so much if they would just take that step and let go of the phones or at least their Q2 sales figures would .....How much better would they feel if hey acknowledged their problem.... they could start small but simply admitting the phone is REAL... then they could make more progress by selling them off one by one and it would be so freeing for them. Saturday would be a good day for a phone release. I would leave the house on a Saturday to go out and get one. :rolleyes:

It would probably be cheaper to change her service to their cheapest package and let it ride out than to pay a ETF.

We've already established the extreme variance in possible release dates- Droid out in 3 weeks after Cellebrite, Devour not for another 5 months.. ALTHOUGH.... I'd bet anything they purposely gave Droid its run in the sun..

What I'm wondering is about the name.. They've all been called one name in the Cellebrite, and later changed.. Sholes->Droid, Calgary->Devour, Desire->Eris, etc. Maybe NKT or someone who's been in retail longer than I can shed some light on this- any insight on:

1) The probability that the phone will be re-named, based on what you've seen with previous models.. (although I'm keeping the fingers crossed that they don't change the name, and I'd like to think they won't, seeing that it already appears in every single one of Verizon's inventory systems as the Inc)

2) Approximate timeframe for re-naming IF it happens.. I know Droid was in Cellebrite on Oct 13 and announced on the 28th, but maybe going back farther to compare with other models.. Also release timeframe after name change has occurred- most likely all this would be announced in the official release announcement, but any opinions, past experiences, etc. that would shed some light ahead of the official announcement would be appreciated..

:rolleyes:

So, I'm officially SCREWED!!!! The 30 days is up on my ERIS... I was going to return it today and use my Dad's Palm.... I'm visiting the parents and I don't have my car up here.... VZW is CLOSING SOON & no one is HOME!!! No one thinks it's important enough to get home before VZW closes.... FML.........
No INCREDIBLE for me.... My birthday is on Monday........ =(

(I couldn't return the phone before I flew home b/c I had nothing to replace it with)...

Do I have any options???

Can I add a line when it comes out and then switch the Incredible to my current #, then drop the second line and eat the break of contract cost?

Can I possibly start dating a guy that works for Verizon.... People say I'm pretty & I have a great rack........

Or, should I just pout for another year and keep stalking this forum............

P.S. I do have a friend in ATL that works at a non-corporate VZW Store... He had no clue about this phone.... When I mentioned the specs he said ohh the Supersonic??? For some reason he's heard of it and thought it was to be named the Supersonic.... I think he may be on the forum now.....

You add a line and terminate that contract, or you can just add a line and keep that line open and switch the numbers and just pay the 10 extra per month. Or you could sell your phone and add some money and buy the phone at retail cost at the store or on ebay. Or maybe you can talk to the Verizon people and they might make an exception for you.

It's actually a family plan with three lines, so it's even more expensive. I told her we can cancel the home line and that will make up the difference. I don't get reception at my house with AT&T so it wasn't an option before. Verizon built a tower just down the road from my house since I signed on with AT&T, so I won't need a home phone when we switch. It's either pay Time Warner for the service or pay AT&T to terminate...

I was thinking earlier if a phone like the Incredible could make my other gadgets redundant. I have a Zune HD for portable media and I doubt the Incredible can top the beautiful UI and ease of use. I have a Canon SD790IS and I doubt the Incredible can even come close to the picture quality of it. And there is no way the Incredible can touch the browsing speed and keyboard of a laptop. But the Incredible is powerful enough that I could leave the other gadgets behind for casual music listening/picture taking/web browsing/ etc. I hate carrying hundreds of dollars worth of electronics with me when they could easily be stolen.

That's exactly why I asked for a BT keyboard for my b'day last week for a phone that isn't even released. I know, I'm crazy (but the keyboard's great!).

Twiz said:
I'm curious. i have the omnia now and it takes about 5minutes for this forum to load using opera browser. do you think the incredible will be faster?

Seriously? It doesn't take that long on my VZW LG Voyager dumbphone.

Paznos said:
It has other carriers phones listed on there because if a sprint customer came in to a Verizon store and wanted to sigh up with Verizon they would be able to transfer their info from their sprint phone onto their Verizon phone.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for that info. Makes sense.
