Hope the 25th pans out because that is my wedding anniversary and I know what I want!!

Now a question to any bb employees out there. Can I buy a phone and resign my existing contract for only 1 year, or does bb only offer full price or new 2 year agreement prices?
 
I have a really good friend who works with bb mobile. We were at a party and I was complaining about my prehistoric Tmo blackberry pearl without a track ball & battery cover. I told him I couldn't wait to switch to Verizon and get the Incredible as soon as it came out but I was getting too anxious. He drunkinly murmered "bah, yew'll half hit by teh ent of da monf"....... I didn't give it any value until today.... Today lurking has given credibility to my buddy, you better believe I'm getting him drunk more often.

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.

This could well be the most under-rated posts of the thread. One of the few things confirmable on the entire thread and yet you still got grief over your first inventory post. Guess you should have just made a "little birdy told me" story for everyone to fawn over Instead of posting pics.
Also considering the Droid was BBY9LD (blackberries appear to be BBM's, nothing else has been slated recently) I don't see how this would be anything besides the Incredible.
 
I like the positive atmosphere and the fact that you kids are getting along.. just checked in and caught up from my old 6900..

I'm off to the GYM again so I can get all buff and take you kids on.. . don't mess with 58 man! ;) :p
 
Just a few things I want to clear up in regards to Agent/Retail Locations vs Corp Stores

Pricing- Pricing can't be dictated to agent locations, and can be set by the agent owner. Agents don't have any guidelines to follow other than remain profitable. All corp store have to follow the corp pricing matrix. I give the contract pricing to my annual upgrade customers, and I read earlier that BB doesn't- that is their policy, not all agent locations.

Upgrades- Agent locations can do all of the same types of upgrades that corp stores can do, however some types of promotions have to be dealt with in a different manner. NE2, Annual upgrade, conversion promotions- all can be done at any location. It's really dependent on how helpful the location wants to be.

Release dates- The Devour was available to the indirect side first, for whatever reason, it was not just BB. We usually hear about these types of releases in advance so we can gear up for it, and no word has been released on the Inc.

My locations do anything and everything to help our customers. I have pricing set extremely aggressive and have people that travel hours to get phones from us, because of knowledge, service and pricing. I just wanted to post and say 1- shop around, you just may find a better price and agents can play with pricing 2- Don't be treated in a way that makes you unhappy, find a locations that you enjoy going to. 3-If this phone doesn't come out soon I'm going to freak out because I want it so damn bad.
That is all.
 
Not even a page since I went to sleep? Tch, well, at least the quality of this one s excellent lol. Thanks again to MM and to apang as well for further confirmation. I'm feeling really good about us getting this thing.

Question: I've got a friend that is leaving Best Buy in like a week. He's interested in this phone as well. What can he do to find out stuff/see what's already been found? Feel free to take this to PM if you feel it's necessary.

Thanks, MM! Good stuff. I hope the end is near...or the beginning depending on how you look at it.

Question for any Best Buy employees or folks who have purchased phones through them. I'm eligible for upgrade so no worries there. I have gathered from past information that Best Buy typically handles the rebate process and gives you the instant discount so you get the bottom line pricing after rebate out the door. Do they honor NE2 credits? Between a VZW store and the website, I'd normally go with the latter because they offer instant rebates vs. the store making you mail it in. However, I'd be inclined to go with Best Buy if they get the phone at the same time because I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Would like to lower my bottom line price, if possible.

Edit: Meh, after months and months of lurking, posting, and stalking a high end HTC Android phone on Verizon, here I am finally making tentative purchase plans. I hope I didn't just jinx myself. (and all of us!)

From what I understand you do not get a VZW warranty when you buy at BB, Amazon, Wirefly, etc. It breaks, you take it where you got it.
 
Whew, It's all starting to line up. I'm officially on the "Gonna be heartbroken if the phone doesn't come out on the 29th train"

PS - I was also on the MM Insider News List, and he did have this info back in March. Want proof.....

I hear they make some great supplements for older men who are trying to get back into shape and build some muscle....:p :D :D
 
So if it is 28th when do the commercials start. I still think it will be Verizon's annual golf event or NFL Draft. What say you..
