Thanks for that update. I guess it's time for me to wait on Sprint for the EVO next month.

I think Verizon is probably kissing Apple's ass to get the iPhone4G on their network, hence delay delay delay on HTC device.

by the time this thing is actually released the htc super-amazing-ultra-epic-incredible2 will be coming out with a dual core processor, 2gb of ram, android 3.0, hdmi, a laser gun, a grappling hook, etc. i may as well just get a droid and force myself to be happy with it for a few months...

If they pushed the incredible back until june/july it'd be incredible = fail. By that time other phones will be launched/announced/leaked that will equal or surpass it. Then VZW will be a step behind like usual and a lot of people will be thinking like me... Time to jump ship.

I agree that this has turned into yet another major lost opportunity for VZW. The manner in which the tone on this forum has changed over the last three weeks is remarkable and depressing. I still hope to get my hands on this phone soon, and I think I'll still purchase it, but it is clear the interest in and demand for this handset has dropper precipitously. What a shame.




^^ That's right -- no smiley.

Hmm... but the dude also said Incredible = N1:
Official Nexus One VERIZON thread! - Page 281 - Nexus One Forum - Google Phone Forum

In response to a question about Nexus One and Incredible being the same device, he replies: "Yes they are the same device. the Incredable will have the sense UI. It isnt bad at all....besides once root is gotten...a Custom ROM isnt out of the question "

I find that... troubling, if this guy is such an expert.

He had said they are basically the same but the incredible had updated specs (camera ect) he said that after asked if they were the same. he was referring to same screen and processor that stuff is all very similar

If the phone is done and sitting in warehouses if that's true I don't see why they would wait for the iPhone and I really don't see why they would wait for the Evo to come out as people are more likely to go for those devices and the Incredible would get overlooked.

Being who and what apple is, I can see them dangling the iphone in front of verizon, who seems to want it now, and telling them to not upstage the iphone with android phones.
We all know apple is that controlling, and obviously verizon cant make a move on their own, or we would not STILL be waiting for the alleged incredible.

Actually, I'm 99% positive I remember at least one or two people on this forum stating that we should hear an announcement this week. I would try to find their posts, but this thread is ridiculously big.

Dont worry about it, your word is good enough. Would love to hear an announcement sometime before Friday with a release the following week.

Sounds like you really don't know how things work. Counting bytes passing through your systems and actively inspecting packets for evidence of tethering are two very, very different things. Counting traffic is nothing new and doesn't take processing power.

I've been baited into the OT convo so this is my last post on the subject.

Sounds like you don't understand how things work. Look, it's pretty simple, All I have to do as an IT guy, is watch for accounts that use large amounts of data, and scope those accounts. I don't have to actively scope EVERY verizon account to find those in Breach of the Terms of Service for tethering. All's I need is an 'indication' of someone who 'may' be breaking the rules and inspect THEIR streams. Which would amount to a small percentage of my overall account customer base. Not difficult and does not require the mass amounts of processing power everyone thinks.

Let's also not forget from an IT perspective, I don't even have to do this realtime, I can simply echo a specific account(s) steam to another disk somewhere on another server and run all these process hungry packet inspection routines at any time that makes sense, monthly, weekly, nightly, or whenever I please without disrupting live network performance.

So believe what you want, you're only fooling yourself if you think you're outsmarting Verizon by tethering without a tethering plan, they can find you, maybe they're not looking too hard at the moment, but don't be so cocky to think you're some 'undetectable tetherer'. It's kinda comical that not only do some think they're outsmarting Verizon by doing it, but also that you defend the fact that you're breaking the rules by doing it in the first place.

Sorry folks, I got tired of waiting. I just went online and upgraded my Env2 to a Palm Pre Plus. The free mobile hotspot was too good for me to turn down. Never had a WebOS phone, so I don't know what I am getting into. If something ever comes out down the road worth a crap, then I will give the palm to my wife.

I don't blame you. It's a good phone! Enjoy!

I know what you mean. I'm considering the same.
 
Here's a "What if..." I hadn't heard here...


With Apples big, seemingly out of nowhere announcement regarding their OS and whatever's happening tomorrow, which seemingly circumvents MS and their announcements NEXT week, what if the aforementioned Apple "deal" said: We'll give you iPhone (or it's offspring, whatever they're thinking/doing...) but only if you let us announce is AHEAD of the HTC Launch, effectively muting it somewhat as people decide to wait for the new iPhone device?

Verizon still launches HTC item this month, us android freaks rejoice, Apple gets the win on people on the fence and saves some people from jumping directly to Verizon, and Verizon gets Killer Android Phone + Promise of iPhone...

Win, Win, Win?
 
NKT said:
Sorry to disappoint but rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated.:cool:

With that said, I have ZERO new info. The inventory reports refreshed today but it still show's 0 in the warehouse. There's no online training listed. And no other internals that point to an imminent launch (at least that I can see).

That's the report fro NKT land. I have to say, I'm starting to doubt my mid-April prediction. I hope they prove me wrong though :)

I'm glad you're well, NKT. I must say, I don't like your report. Can you make something up that sounds better? .... pleeeeeease? ;)

THAT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE :rolleyes: :p

That would be nice, we all want to win. I just don't think it's likely. If Apple announced a VZW iphone this week I'll crap my pants. Literally, right at work. I think if anything they may announce a CDMA iphone, which means sure VZW is possible, but it could go overseas (more likely). I think Apple wants to bring an LTE iPhone to VZW and I want a VZW TO BRING ME A DAMN INCREDIBLE PHONE!

That's actually a really good theory you got there. Obviously, people like me, and most of us in here, would buy an Android phone over and iPhone ANY day. So, I would love for Verizon to get the iPhone. It would keep more Verizon customers with Verizon and it would make a lot of people happy, but all of us would have the better phone, in my opinion, which is the Incredible.

Should we rename the thread to Incredible Files, there are so many conspiracy theories out there? If the X-Flies had this following it would still be on TV! The truth is out there!
