T-Mobile tricks people into thinking they'll get sex from CZJ...When I went in to inquire they told me I was misinformed...I left unlaid and sad panda
 
upc from the image last night is the same as tonight. Once again im not stating that this is the Incredible just that i find ironic that this phone is in the system with an in-stock date at the end of the month. Im going of what other people have said that the phone is releasing at the end of the month and showing what i think could be the phone. If it happens to be the phone then great were one step closer to finding out a release date if it isn't i apologize for getting folk's hopes up and for wasting your time

Don't say it's being released on the 29th.....that's only going to raise people's hopes and we all know that it's still speculation.....

I don't want to feel empty inside at the end of the month if it doesn't come out....

Sorry, allegedly. At this point, I don't care. Seems like every month there's been some mention about "end of the month" though we're certainly getting closer to reality. After the big CTIA letdown, I'm a little put off and not getting my hopes up too much. Hell, delay the f---ing thing another month beyond that. As I said, I don't care. That'll just push me to Sprint and the EVO which will be imminent by the end of May if not already available.

as I recall there are two things you need to check for to get it to stop

In the USER CP tab at the top

go to "edit options"

then make sure you uncheck the box about receiving emails concerning posts, AND

make sure you're "unsubsribed" from this thread

then scroll all the way down and save changes

that worked for me (after several attempts!)

I stopped by my local VZW Corporate store today (Cincinnati) began closing my accounts and paying my ETF's. My total bill was about $500 for 3 phones (2 Dares and 1 LG Chocolate Touch), and my netbook. My NE2 date was April 3 but my actual contract date is August. The CSR repeatedly tried to get me to upgrade to the Droid, saying he can "guarantee" the 2.1 upgrade this week for it. I went off on the Droid and how if they really wanted to keep me as a customer they would release the N1, since it was promised in January to be released in spring or AT LEAST give a release date for the Incredible. The regional sales manager and store manager were at the counter talking and the CSR spoke with them. After a couple of min my CSR was gone but the regional sales manager came to talk to me. She had a hand held "computer" and pulled up my account. She asked my why I wanted to cancel my accounts. I explained the same thing to her that I'd said to the CSR.

She said that the N1 is NOT their phone and that it is up to Google to make it work on their network. The delay in that phone is all on Google. The ONLY part they play is when Google says it's ready they give it to testers around the country to try it. If it is not good enough to meet their "quality standards" then they kick it back and say fix it. I mentioned that T-Mobile has it and now it's available for AT&T. She said that T-Mobile got it to jump into the Android market and let their customers suffer with it as the bugs were worked out and that VZW doesn't work like that. She said she can't offer ANY info as to when it will be ready.

I asked about the Incredible then saying it is THEIR phone and asked when she thought it would be released. She said by the end of the month. I said that is what was said about the phone in March at CTIA. She said VZW NEVER gave that date. I said VZW hasn't even "officially" acknowledged the phone. She said that with the advent of Twitter, Message Boards, etc. the company has had to become very tight lipped about new products, and they STILL get out. She asked me to wait until May 1st to cancel my accounts. I said no concrete date? She said I should know something FOR SURE by April 29th. I questioned this time line and said when the Droid was announced VZW marketed the CRAP out of the phone for 3 weeks prior to release. She said that is b/c it was their FIRST Android phone and they wanted to pump it up. She said that we will begin to see promos for the phone very soon. I asked how she was so confident. She said that there are testers in her region that had to have the phone back last week. She said that she's worked for the company for years and that when the phones are sent back ALWAYS without exception the phones are released within 2 weeks.

I did not cancel my accounts. I told her that I'd wait until May 1st. If not, here I come Sprint.

Take it for what it's worth, anyone interested in the validity of this info PM me and I will give you more info about the Regional Sales Manager.

Hi there! I'm from Cincinnati too and I'm a student at UC (nice username btw)... Which store did you get this information from?

Yes, I realized that they don't exist anymore when I was laid off...

But, their new system was one of the main reason they went under. Their old system was one of the most advanced system I have ever used, Best Buy and any other retailer's system that I have used was not nearly as nice as their old system.

we can take this to PM how did the new system cause a national company to go under?

I'm with you. THAT was my point to the Regional Sales Manager tonight. There comes a point of no return for customers. I am at that point. Don't play with your customer base, you LOYAL customer base. I could give a rats a$$ about the stupid iPhone coming to Verizon. If I wanted one of those I'd have got one by now. All I ask is don't treat me like I'm stupid and not worth your time as a customer. Give info as you have it. When I mention the Sprint EVO 4G the RSM said, you know that the 4G network isn't widely available? I said so what, it's not available AT ALL for Verizon is it? Don't try to keep me as a customer by dogging others, keep me as a customer by respecting me, appreciating my business AND providing me with the best phones.

here is the second page in the inventory showing more information about the phone. if you read the bottom it shows a date of 04/25 as an in stock date which is what i originally posted. Once again this leads me to believe that its a smart phone because A. its not a gateway netbook because it would have gateway in the description and details B the droid msrpd for 500 if you bought the phone flat out and C. is not a samsung phone or the "vaygus" phone because there are other phones in the system that have the bbyld description with other numbers and the msrp is from 200 to 350. Take this info for whatever it is. it may more may not be the incredible the reason i posted the two images is because like many of you i just want to hear a launch date. Ill let you guys decide if this is pertinent information or not. This is going to be the last piece of information i will disclose,
FYI this is not an "edited" screen shot because i know someone called out that i would later show an "edited" image after the fact that i posted the original one.

The "Item Dimensions" seem off to be the Incredible, no?

Not really. It suffered from lackluster sales and not everyone who got the first iteration of the N1 put it on the Tmobile network. On top of that I wonder how many of their new customers they'll keep. My sister joined up about 6 months ago singing the praises and how she researched and everything. Now she thinks she's a slave to tmobile for another year and a half and most likely wont renew.

thanks brother I think I got it.. :) only one black eye.. sweet
 
Has anyone heard if VZW has any intent of allowing its smartphone users to browse the Net while talking on the device? That's one of the very FEW reasons I am envious of ATT customers.

Ok, I just have to ask. How are they "playing" with their customer base? The N1 is supposed to come out in Spring for Verizon, its still Spring and will still be Spring till the end of May. They've never announced or even unofficially/officially leaked the launch date of the Incredible.
I honestly think alot of people on this boards and several boards like it are really hurting themselves. They take any story about launches or what not and believe it full tilt. Then when those stories don't pan out, they start getting angry. Very strange phenomenon.
