That link gives you two links to get all the info on GV. Yes, you DO have to have an invite. You can ask for one on the forum setup here on androidforums.com (but they've asked not to have any more requests on this thread) or you can buy one on ebay for as little as $0.99. Google Voice isn't "needed" per se but it has a lot of features and allows you to do things on your phone for free that you'd normally have to pay your carrier for (ie texting).
No, not yet. It's still in beta and an invite only product.

Everything is explained here. Yes, you DO have to have an invite (see above)
I would guess that would be possible but I think you can already do that via your existing GV account. See here:
Blocking unwanted calls : Privacy and Security - Google Voice Help
Exactly. That's where I saw the Google Experience statement and wondered about it.
I've also just recently figured out that since multiple people are posting at the same time, when you load a new page and then reload that same page, you sometimes get additional posts that were in the process of being written when you first loaded the page. VERY confusing because it changes all the subsequent post numbers.
Haven't read through them all but here you go:
Choosing a Smartphone, Part 3: Android vs. iPhone | These are the Droids
Nexus One Vs. iPhone Info-Graphic: Googlephone Wins | Gadget Lab | Wired.com

Yes.

Just curious, what does "de-crapped" imply?

Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking here for some time, but thought I would relay my experience at a Verizon Wireless store in Richmond, VA this afternoon.
I was speaking to one of the sales individuals regarding a USB modem for my folks since they have limited choices when it comes to internet services at their house in the country.
Well, I could overhear one of the other sales guys talking about the Incredible, so naturally, I had to ask my guy about it. He knew exactly what I was talking about and mentioned that they had some training on the device already. He mentioned that it would be out "soon", but didn't have a definitive date. He seemed genuinely excited about the device, which I found to be a good sign.
Additionally, he said he believes that there is a good chance that the iPhone would be coming to Verizon as well. Naturally, I asked him if he had to choose between the two phones which he would go with. Somewhat surprisingly, he said he would go with the Incredible.
Not a whole lot of new information, but still found it exciting and wanted to share.

Most likely a new thread on battery saving techniques for the incredible. The writing is on the wall for me. I can't really eff around. I'd probably be banned next time. So I'll just try to stay out of conversation and just post helpful things.

I'm still back to the question echoed by several others on the forum. Does anyone have info (or know where we could find info) on what the read/write speed to the micro sd card will be? There isn't a reason to pay 2-3 times more for a class 6-10 card if the phone can't write faster than a class 2 or 4.

omg hahhahaahaa
edit: I showed it to my mom and she might get it and give me the $50
wonder if you can do that and then trade in the Eris for the Incredible within the 30 days...then you'd get the Incredible for essentially $50 less

I also plan on editing the battery saving thread once the phone comes out and I play with it more. I will encourage you all to do the same and post helpful, useful information and your own experiences (pertaining to battery saving techniques) on that thread. I think it could help a lot of us incredible users and other users of rechargable batteries.
I am a smartphone noob so I want to get as much (important) info on that thread as possible and keep it localized to 1 thread.

on the site if you click on the trade in thing it says you can get $130 for trading it in! so basically you can make $180!
then do it again and again and eventually bankrupt the site..... no don't do that I didn't give you that idea!

Hey, phone disposal question: Does anyone have a recommended cell phone disposal method? Any certain entity that is reputable? I have two others at home besides the one I am going to dump when this little savior comes out, and I want to make sure I give/send my phones to a reputable firm that will process them properly. I am in Chicago if anyone knows of anyone local. I found a couple on Google, etc., but I also hear stories about how some firms just turn around and take them to the dump or otherwise don't send them where they way they're going to.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I got an email from Skype on my Droid Eris earlier today that announced free Skype-to-Skype calls and IM worldwide. That would seem to meet two of the three points in the email, "It's time to share" and "Let's get social." I don't know what those two would have to do with the HTC Incredible anyway. As for the third line about being new and unique and exclusive to Verizon Wireless, does any other carrier offer Skype Mobile? Here's the Verizon page with the information:
Skype Mobile Phone | Skype Cell Phone | Skype Calling
EDIT: Oops, sorry, that was a link to a Skype page, not a Verizon page.

Hey guys is this a nice card? My dad said he was getting stuff from newegg and I could get something.
Yep. I was looking at that one yesterday. If you're looking to get one, get that one. That's the one I'm going to be getting.

I'm speculating this is all about the large inventory they had/have built up of the Droid. Everyone I know that has one, really likes it. I bet it's sales fall way off once the Inc is available for sale though...

I agree that it's probably more than one announcement. Though I'd interpret the first as something to do with Family Share plans, maybe? And I'd think the second would be the "pink" devices, since they're geared toward social networking. And hopefully you're right about the third!
Ok guys, I'm back after pumping some serious iron. Muscles are big...word to the wise: don't mess with the ol' man!
I'm all caught up although I skimmed a bit through the BS, except my BS, which is vintage BS, of course.
Carry on.

I was also going to reccomend the battered women's shelter. Serves 2 purposes, helps you get rid of a phone, & helps someone in need. (sorry for any spelling issues - posted from my Centro)
I think this got buried or it was posted already and I'm getting the stiff shoulder. Either way, if anyone can point me in the right direction...@NKT
Any chance you can compare the Incredible test phone battery to the Eris one? If I remember right, they are the same mAh size. I'm just thinking, if they are physically the same, then theoretically you could get the Seidio 1750 mAh battery for the Eris and use it in the Incredible.
