Apologies for the lengthy post ahead of time. So I've been waiting on this phone for awhile and about a month and a half ago I had my mom ask her friend (who works at a corporate office out of state) if she knew anything about the incredible. She told her that she didn't know much about it aside from rumors. I just kind of left it at that after that. Then I'm reading all these people saying "O, this verizon rep told me this, and was winking and flashed his flashlight at me in morse code of the release date." So I've been going to several verizon wireless CORPORATE stores to see if I could get anything. I got absolutely nothing from any of them, like so many have said before, it seemed like I knew more about it than any of them. Now that all this info has been coming up I decided to have my mom ask her friend one more time. My mom gave me her response just a little bit ago. She apparently said that we should expect to hear SOME kind of official announcement before the end of this upcoming week. She also said that nothing is written in stone, it being verizon and all. She didn't specify whether they'd be announcing a release date or not, just that we'd hear something about it. I'm hoping that what she said sticks, ANY kind of official acknowledgment on Verizons end would be awesome.

There must be something.... surely they are not going to put up posters of the nexus 1 in their windows to draw people in the store and then tell them.... oh... sorry you have to order that phone online through google... but we have the devour!!
It's Verizon and they seem to be run by drunk monkeys so that might be exactly what they are thinking.
Yes, a round of beer for everyone c/o our King Steven58!

Ha! You couldn't have put it any better.
As I have been trolling this forum since page 4 I have thought how crazy this all seems. Then I remembered waiting month after month for Verizon to release the BB Curve 2 years ago after envying all of my coworkers who had already had it for months on another carrier.
While I can respect Verizon for making sure these devices release free of bugs (mostly), I really resent how they leave their loyals hanging for, not just the cool devices that the other carriers have, but any word or mention of the devices timeframe to reach daylight. At least give us something to count down for. If you like the element of surprise, go ahead and tell us it will be out in mid-May, then release in mid-April. Just give us something.

Ok, so I have been lurking around here on the forum since CTIA when I first heard about the Incredible but this is my first post. It seems like it has been forever since CTIA.
I like the forum and I want to thank everyone for the tid-bits of information.
I haven't seen this reported anywhere yet but I may have missed it. I was rummaging around the Verizon corporate website earlier and came across the fact that 4 April 2010 is the 10th Anniversary of the merger of Bell Atlantic Mobile and Vodafone Airtouch. Making this Sunday the 10th Anniversary of the founding of the company. What a great time to announce a couple of new phones...

I was in my local Verizon store and overheard the HTC rep telling the store mgr he was heading to the Green-Hornet warehouse to pick up the new super-phone. He mentioned that it's been stressful lately because he feels like he's being stalked by Incredible extremists. He said he has to take evasive maneuvers to shake anyone that may be following him.
So, I did my best Hawaii 5-0 imitation and tried not to be seen in my large green & yellow polka-dot cargo van. Just when I thought he was about to enter the top-secret warehouse, he turned and spotted me, ruining my undercover mission.
I'll report back if I am able to pick up his trail again - wish me luck

It wasn't morse code, it was smoke signals.
Actually it was a secret code...my buddy who works at Verizon told me that we should expect to see the translator key released two weeks or so from now. Or at least an official announcement pertaining to the release of said translator key.
Just skimming posts to catch up....so did you say that your mom's smokin hot friend was winking at you in some kind of code? We need pics.

R u messing around... Or were u really following the manager that was going to pick up a phone at the warehouse?
Pretty much the gist of what I said, except the code wasn't in regards to anything incredible....well, the phone at least.

Today I went to Trader Joe's, which is right next to a Verizon Wireless store. I didn't go in the VZW store, but I did ask a TJ's manager which type of Greek yogurt he liked best. I was amazed when he not only acknowledged its existence and gave me a recommendation (Apricot Mango) but the yogurt was actually in stock! I thought for sure he would tell me I could maybe get it in two weeks.
So I got some and now I'm eating it and OMG it's absolutely INCREDIBLE.

OK if mahsan88 said the sales rep said MAY-JUNISH (I need a phone now) and the Nexus One might come out Monday (or atleast much sooner).....should I just go ahead and get the Nexus? I know the Incredible is gonna be out of this world fantastic....but it is REALLY that much better than the N1? I know a lot of people say the N1 isn't as sexy....but I think it looks gorgeous. Would I really be losing much if I got the N1 rather than wait? I bought the Droid the other night and it will be getting her Monday, so I have 30 days from there (can obviously wait for the N1 but not the Incredible). I'm just so torn on whether to just keep the Droid, go for the N1, or cancel everything and wait a long time with my broken phone. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks

I'm going to do the same. What do you think so far?I got my wife an Eris. I knew she would be happy with it because that 's what some of the girls at work have. The good part is, I get to play with it(the phone) while going through the excruciating process of waiting for the Incredible.

All depends on whether you want sense ui. Looks are a matter of opinion. The other big thing for me is service. I VZW is giving in store service for the N1 then it really doesn't make that much of a difference. Personally, I think the incredible looks better and I love sense.

pssh I've been hearing 2 weeks since december. Saying 2 weeks even with rock solid "proof" means absolutely nothing imo.

One thing I know the Droid can do that other touch screens cant (because it has a keyboard) is play games or use apps that require both touchscreen and keyboard. I forget the term, but my VZW rep had the Eris and said as much as he loved it, he was getting the Droid so he could play sonic and other cool games (we're both young and in college and want to have something to do while ignoring our teachers). Does anybody know the name of what that method of getting those games that aren't in the phone automatically? It's not just downloading...I think it was an "A" word...he went to the market place or something I believe and typed it in, then typed in Sonic from Sega and BOOM, there it was. He said I could even get Super Mario 3 and whatnot....can anyone think of what I'm talking about? Sorry, im new to smartphones lol.

I'm thinking of getting the nexus one now. It has the same stuff incredible has with some exceptions like the camera.
Depends if the incredible ever comes out.
Bottom line is I want an HTC phone with the android OS that has built in GPS with no additional fees to use it..

I likies the sound of that!!!
Thats part of the reason why I dont mind waiting a lil longer. They dont wanna have the issues they had with N1. I'd rather them perfect the phone. But waiting till may or june would suck! hopefully we'd get at least a release date before then if that happens
Also...Are you sure they dont mean just a release date and concrete specs in two weeks???
Dude, my upgrade has been waiting since April 2009!!
I have been stuck with the LG Dare, and if i can wait that long man, so can you. On my book, the Incredible second to none. the ONLY thing that would make me drop it from the list would be an OFFICIAL announcement of the HTC EVO on Verizon or Moto Shadow. But at this rate, that is probably going to happen next year -_-
Just wait it out man. You are not the only one.
Emulators?
