Not necessarily true. Traditional YouTube uses Flash on the PC vs H.264 on the phone. But you can also load H.264 on the PC. HTML5 is now available which uses H.264 on the PC. So it does not necessarily indicate tethering. As I said, its at best a guess.
So it sounds like you're saying Flash implies tethering. That won't be true either as the phones begin to support Flash.

All I am saying is that there are ways to tell, and I cannot discuss this topic any futher. Sorry.

Ignore these people Viperboy. A lot of us scroll through pages of off topic nonsense every day in hopes of some information about the Incredible and when someone actually provides it hes attacked? Are people really getting their feelings hurt because of his tone?

Sticks and stones... Not worried at all. I might come off a little harsh, but misinformation just bugs the crap out of me. Especially crap like "the Incredible might not exist" when all the evidence is PLAINLY there and obviously no one is taking the time to make this stuff up.

speaking of the N1, if little or no internal testing, what's holding up its release?

Little to no internal testing :D Plus, as far a VzW is concerned, they have a good selection of phones currently. I don't seem them being in a huge hurry to launch stuff.

i understand that the date is off in the inventory system but this is a brand new sku. i did a search on the web for the sku and upc and no results have turned up so it is a brand new product. the bby is the code for best buy not blackberry. I understand that the date says 03/29 but what occurs sometimes is the product gets in inventory about a month ahead of the in store release date. so i double checked the sku on best buys website and nothing has come up, plus no inventory shows in the warehouse so it leads me to believe that this could very well be the incredible under a different sku with bby as the brand and a random model number

In looking in the inventory systems for the Inc, I also saw something on a page that pointed to it having been loaded into inventory on 3/29..

Im not singling anyone out. It seems like the majority of the people who post here want this to be a community chat and i have no interest in fighting the majority. Ive learned to just go with the flow and skip until i see the posts with more than 10 "thanks" and although this saves time, it still takes a while to get through 15 pages of posts if you're like me and only visit this site once or twice a day. So imagine how frustrating it is to finally come across someone providing info and then being told to leave.

This whole thing is like a rollercoaster. My hopes are definitely up again... and hopefully we're ending this crazy ride and will have our new phones in 2 weeks :)

And it looks like we'll still have something to look forward to this summer. The new YouTube video of Steven chomping down a hat. I sure hope you only own big ol cowboy hats :D
 
viperboy said:
Here are some confirmed things I can tell you about the Incredible, right out of our internal InfoManager database...

512MB RAM/512MB ROM
802.11 b/g/n (N!! Not sure if that's wrong or not, but that's what it said)
"Next Generation Sense UI"
3.5mm headphone jack
480x800 OLED Screen

No other info at the moment, guys. Maybe this might answer some things that haven't been confirmed yet.

is the OLED screen the same thing as AMOLED or are they different?:confused:

Loopholes fella, loopholes. There have been reports that the Verizon ApplePhone will not be called the iPhone, and if it has a different name, wouldn't that mean you're off the hook?

"If Verizon sells the iPhone this June, I'll eat my hat. Hold me to it." was the official quote...

You ain't gotta help the guy out here :rolleyes:

;):p
 
:) it's great to see the thread upbeat again! Thanks to Viper and Moose for the new info! Sorry I don't have any super special connections to help everyone on this thread but all the insiders are giving great info anyways!

I'm just happily awaiting the phone for whenever it comes out!
 
viperboy said:
Not necessarily, but it could very well be the same in this case. The page doesn't always go into tremendous detail.

OLED: Organic Light Emitting Diode is a new screen technology to rival LCD and plasma.
AMOLED: Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode.
There is no substantial difference between the two. Active Matrix is a method for controlling individual pixels.

Meh, I simply don't care and post what I feel like. Sometimes I get a laugh, sometimes I don't. More to the point, 95% of the crap I post here is just screwing around and not serious; some people can take it, some can't.

I know what its like to have people come to you crying about anything and everything, I've done my time in retail. I deal with end users crying all day about issues they caused and yet how its "ITs fault."

When it comes to Verizon, most of the time I'm totally satisfied with my call quality and data availability, and believe it or not, I'll defend big red any day of the year against any other carrier as far as service goes.

When it comes to the retail staff and 90% of the call center staff for the wireless division...Damn; there needs to be some better QC for training, hiring, and performance readiness appraisals before they are allowed on the floor/phone.

The Verizon business side, 100% solid platinum support every day when I'm dealing with them for DMARC additions, changes, ect. They have their stuff together.

Can't really go into it (not saying this because I have no idea), but to say a little, the mobile/app version of Youtube will look different in the system than lets say streaming youtube through your phone from your computer.



I wouldn't be in retail if I couldn't handle people. It's all about how you are when you come into the store. If someone comes in screaming and yelling right off the bat and telling me what I'm going to do, you bet that won't fly. I am not the type to throw whatever you want at you to make you go away. But if you come in and realize that I am trying to help you when your battery is shot and out of warranty, sure I will give you 25% off your battery.

I don't enjoy when people just run their mouth in a thread that has nothing to do with the topic or people who continuously spread misinformation. That is one thing I don't have patience for. Oh, and you don't have to read my posts either if it bothers you so much.



Geezzzz, what are you doing with that phone?? Actually... don't wanna know :D
Click to expand...

OK, I'm sorry but this BS. You can't tell if we're tethering without a tethering plan without invading the user's privacy and violating numerous parts of the contract. If you want to get technical I will. The methods by which a user can tether without a tethering plan are extremely effective and look no different than other traffic on a network.

the mobile/app version of Youtube will look different in the system than lets say streaming youtube through your phone from your computer.

You have no way of telling this without completely violating the Verizon contract agreement. I call BS.
