I've been following this thread for a few weeks now, back when the rumored release date was March 23. After that came and went, I got panicky and exchanged my Pre Plus for an Eris because I was nearing my 30 days. My intent was either to eBay the Eris and suck it up and pay retail for the Incredible, or return the Eris and pay for a cheap phone from Craigslist to use for 3 days so I could then re-upgrade. However, the last few days I'm wavering on whether to get the Incredible or just keep the Eris. I'm actually liking the Eris a lot better than I thought I would. At first I was thinking I really liked the size of the Eris (perfect for a female) and wouldn't want a larger hardware footprint - then I spec'ed the Incred and realized it's only imperceptibly bigger! So it's got that going for it - but the downside is, I really like having physical send/end buttons! I hated that about the Droid - not being able to quickly hit end if I accidentally called someone that I didn't want to. So I've just got to make a decision as to whether I want the additional .6" screen (and more power!) of the Incredible, or the convenience of send/end buttons on the Eris. It sounded a little less crazy in my head...:D

Do some checking on the Flash issue before you decide. I know Flash is a bit contentious ATM, but does is matter to you if your device will be capable of running it? There was an article on Phandroid.com a few weeks (or so...) back about which Android phones were going to be getting Flash and which ones were not. If I remember correctly, the Eris was NOT due to lack of processor power. I'm sure a search of Phandroid would get you more info and it may not matter to you one way or the other but at least you could factor it into your decision. :)

EDIT: OK, found the link for you and the Eris AND Devour are listed as NEVER going to get Flash. Just FWIW. I guess that this is relatively reliable but don't know a great deal about it personally. Just taking the info at face value. Hope that helps.

Ok.. I thought evergreen was as authoritative as we have. I guess I was wrong. No biggie.

They are the most authoritative we have but remember we are the unofficial Offical HTC Incredible Thread. Nothing here has officially come from Verizon and therefore cannot be confirmed or verified. Verizon is free to change anything it likes until release and much of what we have is based on rumors and as such is subject to potential error.

That calendar was photoshopped. Red characters for the 28th did not line up with the other dates even though it was the same phrase.

I think thats just the angle of the shot- you can tell it was taken at a downward angle.. OP had no reason to make any of that up- I believe him

again, i stand corrected.
 
Phandoid.com posted the info about the VZW tweets naming the Inc by name. I guess that I really didn't expect an announcement this weekend anyway. Too many distractions going on...like it or not. The iPad release, which we're finally past and Easter weekend is still a popular time for families to get together (whether or not you observe the holiday). Some get long weekends and it's usually the start of spring. So, as much as I hate it, it makes sense not to announce something with so much competing for peoples attention this w/e.

Having said all that, the w/e is almost over and a new week is beginning. :) So, I'm *hoping* for some news and more info soon. This phone is a b'day present for a b'day that's already past and I'd like it to be released before my next one! LOL!

BTW, is the "calendar" (not saying one way or the other whether I think it's real or fake) the ONLY source that's saying April 28th? I mean, I thought NKT was in here just a day or two ago and was sticking by the April 17th date. So far, I think we've felt that NKT is pretty reliable so I'm just wondering where all this stands (yes, I've been reading through everything so I'm not asking for shortcuts just help understanding what piece(s) I'm obviously missing :confused:).

Deep breath...we can all do this together. That's why we have this community of support so we can be strong for each other in times of need and weakness...;)
 
Are there any new dates that have been stated or confirmed? Like I said I have been gone for a few days and I am being really, really lazy to look back at the past posts.

NO- no service, no honoring warranty...

Seriously?!?!:eek:

Then why would people bother to buy from Best Buy for phones. I've never seen a great selection there, when I've asked for help to show me how to use a primary phone feature one one of their (at the time) high end phones, the CSR had no idea how to get it to input text into the browser or anything else for that matter. Sad. Do they try to push some aftermarket warranty like on all their sales stuff? Is VZW ouf of the pic completely? What about NE2, etc? How does that work?

Really interested to learn more. Have always steered away from BB for mobile phones for all the reasons listed above but am definitely looking at it with an open mind and a desire to save $$$ :) (but who isn't, right?)

I may be wrong, and please correct me if I am, but I believe NKT said that his best bet was the middle of April and gave himself until May to hedge. I don't remember him giving us an exact date. I truly remember him just saying middle of April sounds about right based on his information and I have read every single page of this thread. But again, someone please correct me if I am wrong.
