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 tried it for a week and it was kind of cool, but if you have a lot of mail accounts it just didn't hold up well (as compared to my BB). The WebOS is nice, but I had major issues with battery drain, overheating, etc.. and after too many lost / dropped calls I took it back. I may have had a lemon, but I wasn't a fan of the email and texting interface. It does look cool so you may still win some points giving it to your wife.

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? ;)

I've been lurking on this Forum for about a week now, anxiously awaiting for me some good Incredible evidence, when I glanced over and noticed that the above was Steven58's 1337th post.

I have elected to break silence and use my first post to announce this to the world.

Or just to this forum.

Thank you, that is all.

You are making all kinds of assumptions here. I don't tether.


Someone said something about watching YouTube traffic and watching HTTP user-agent header fields. Sure they *could* do this but they don't. You brought up the fact that Comcast has a bandwidth cap and suggested that this went along with monitoring usage beyond the bandwidth numbers. It doesn't. These are two very different things and require very different resources (both computer and human).


I know Verizon can make a pretty damn good guess that people are tethering but I'm talking about what's practical and what they actually do. Suggesting that they really go beyond bandwidth numbers is what is foolish. They aren't monitoring your YouTube traffic to determine if you are streaming flash video versus raw H.264 over HTTP.

My appologies, I guess I didn't really take direct care in 'who' I was referencing, I didn't mean to elude that 'you' were tethering, I guess I was generalizing those who do as 'you', none-the-less, I'm not commenting further as this is way off-topic anyway. So I applogize for eluding that 'you' was directed at you yourself specifically.

Can you not simply ask them for a suspected release date or will that raise suspicions? Are they not allowed to talk about such things with you?

EDIT: Or are they in the dark about release dates just as much as everyone else?

They're pretty much in the dark as far as release dates go.
 
I have my Droid and I am hoping that by returning it within 30 days it actually shows Verizon that it's time to bring in a new device. I think if a bunch of people were to go out, purchase phones then return them all for the same reason "this phone sucks we want something better" it could make something happen.

Of course I realize what I just said was a load of $hit but I don't want to be the only a$$hole who got a Droid to only return it after 28 days and go back to my POS feature phone (or worse re-activate my Treo 700p).
 
trellis27 said:
Thanks...What is the norm do they give the phone back and then the phone is released soon after or does the phone come out while they have it?

Most times the phone launches while they still have it. They still have to test any new software revisions that come down.

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...

Yes, they both do.

If you get a chance, it would be good to look at the build version, and check for any sign of a watermark. Chances are that your testers may be running the release load by now. That may be a helpful data point.

Not as exciting as any three of the many conspiracy theories running here, but helpful in spite of that.

They are release key loads. I checked that the first time I got hands on.
 
So, I email this nice PR person at VZ asking to be on that council, right? She emails me back that the council are not testers. I email her back asking that they DO get the phones just before they are released, right? She says, no, the press gets the phones first then the council.

Theeeeeen, I find out that article is wrong and the council doesn't get the phones before announcement. I just wrote her back to apologize, because I feel like a gullible IDIOT! :mad:
 
Is it safe to assume we have some people on here who are constantly logged into their My Verizon refreshing the smartphones so that they can be the first to break the news here? From what I have gathered it is quite possible it will just "show up" there without warning.

That is out-frikin-standing information.

Probably the most valuable data point of the last few days.
Wait,,,,,,,,,,maybe the only valuable data point of the last few days ;););)
