OK so here is something possibly others are thinking but not saying......

First, let me be very clear I have not heard anything from a source nor am I an employee of any carrier or mfg. This is just my nightmare.

  1. VZW and Apple have been in talks about and IPhone for ever (fact)
  2. Apple and Google are at odds (fact)
  3. Apple has file suit against HTC (fact)
  4. The new IPad has the ability built in to use carrier data plans (today ATT only ?????) at $15.00 / mo NO Contract
  5. The new 4g Iphone will have the A4 chip which is said to be all carrier. (leaked but not confirmed to my knowledge)
So the phone call from Apple goes like this;


Here is an offer, non-negoitable. Warehouse the new HTC devices for what ever reason you dream up and in return you get the following;
  • New IPhone 4g in June/July
  • IPad with 4G chip on your network
Release the new HTC devices and we add you to the lawsuit. Petition the court for an order to stop sales of HTC devices and rlease the above to all other carriers.

Do you think VZW would cave or did I just eat some bad sushi last night? :confused:

Sadly I think alot of that is happening right now. :mad:
 
I'm not sure if this was posted (couldn't find it) and it is a little off topic, but Microsoft is coming out with two phones this month for Verizon codenamed Pure and Turtle and they both should be available after they unveil them on April 12th...

Do you guys think that this may effect the release of the Incredible?

Edit: Looks like someone beat me to it...
 
just woke up.. and no news.

Depressing. Back to work till 6am. Ill keep this place open after midnight when everyone stops posting.

To everyone hitting f5 today, I hope there were no injuries.

Those appeal to a different demographic than the Incredible. I don't see why it should.

Side note: People keep bagging on these phones, but they probably serve their demographic well. If I had spawn, the last thing I'd do would be get them a full on smartphone, but something to allow them to go on facebook and twitter, sure! Not to mention, MS clients for both Twitter and Facebook that they use on the Zune HD are pretty nice. Then again, the Zune HD is a nice device itself.

Not bagging on them for their market niche it's the fact that Microsoft in concert with Verizon don't seem to have a problem announcing products. I am guessing they make lots more coin in the long run from these phones than they will from the Incredible.

If the N1 is announced tomorrow, I think I might cave and get one. Have you seen the track ball mod? You can change the color notification for anything. Any. Color. Today my S1 froze during a phone interview with a law firm... FML.

i'm with you on that.
 
FWIW department, I stopped in at the verizon store this morning. Got a palm pre to play with for the next 30 days and to see how I like the free Wifi hotspot offer. Talked to the manager and asked him if there were any new phones coming out. Without even asking about the android phones, he said the Incredible was going to be released very soon and it was in the system. He also talked about a new line of 4G phones coming out later this year or early next year. Unfortunately, 4G wasn't coming to my area until 2012 at the earliest. Again, not worth much, but he didn't play dumb about the Incredible.
 
VzW_NYMetro @mehditav @VZWOffers New phones go through a LOT of testing be4 they're allowed on the network. Hard to know exactly when/if they'll pass...
:mad:

If a subsidized N1 is released before any word official word on the incredible, I will order it in a heartbeat. It is no longer an issue. If the N1 is out tomorrow, it will be in my hand Wednesday.


I am having one of those, **** it, **** verizon, sick of waiting, i'm over this, kind of days. Ugh. Sorry doods.
 
Lurking, waiting. 40 days...40 nights...40 MORE days...40 MORE nights... lather rinse repeat

This P. in the A. can only be relieved by Preparation HTC Incredible. Make it STOP!

I'm so sick of them saying that garbage, their phones are not tested better than any other carrier.

I mean for gawds sake I have a Samsung Glyde, they must have tested that for about 30 seconds!

I did finally take it back cause it wasnt heavy enough to be a paperweight, so the brain surgeons that they are, gave me a Samsung Glyde Refresh, which get this ... replaced the capacitive screen with a touch sensative one, although yes it works but OH MY GAWD its horrible and if you touch the screen it sends random messages to everyone ... even God I think, though at this point he hasn't texted me back.
