it's not a sailboat it's a scooner... 
Nope sorry. And yes, if you want the extended battery, you need the extended battery cover.
Possible, if they are front-facing holsters, than the back can be as big as a Mac truck!!
Why thank you!
I believe the battery should come with the back cover already. Most of the phones lately have had it that way.
Viperboy says the 2150 will not fit with the existing back, and you will have to purchase the leaked back for the battery to fit. Sorry for the confusion.
Again, the extended battery door should come with the purchase of the extended battery.
Nope.
Welcome!
I would get one to be safe. My Droid's scree has been fantastic. My Eris, however, got scratched really easily. I would always get a screen protector on any phone I get (other than the Droid) just to make sure it stays protected.
Yes, it does.
Verizon won't charge you anything for that class. That is part of the Tech's jobs. They conduct a Device Learning Center appointment and they teach you for free.
Thanks everyone for showing your gratitude about the pictures I posted!

This is probably google-able, but what the F... Anybody know why all the Android OS versions are named for pastries...? Seems like they might go for something a little more sci-fi or robot-y...

Hey Viper, on the Body Glove Rubber case picture, it looked like there might be a little circle to the left of the verizon logo. Was this just 'noise' in the picture?
Those of you who are SERIOUS about buying a screen shield for your Incredible should check out what Steinheil will offer for it. Sure, there are tons of other, more widely-known screen shields out there, and many of you might never have even heard of this brand, but I researched screen protectors to death when I almost bought the Eris (that is, until I discovered this crazy place!). Here's a Droid forum that discusses the Steinheil Crystal:
Steinheil Crystal - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum
While you might not buy any screen shield for your phone - if you DO, this is THE ONE I'd sure get!
+1. As someone who's also researched screen protectors to death and bought tons of different ones, I've found these screen protectors to be the best. The Crystal version is definitely the one to get, the anti-glare version makes the screen look foggy and harder to see. They also send you two of the protectors, which is nice in case you mess up on the first one.
I'd like to add my name to the list of long-time lurkers who have been enticed out by this thread. A big thanks to everyone who has been supplying info on this phone and being informative for those of us new to Android. My NE2 is up in 2 weeks, and while I'd been planning on picking up a Blackberry, you guys (and others) have earned Google one more sale Nice work!
On a separate note, while it was a couple pages back now, there was a lot of chat about getting Google Voice set up for the phone. Do you guys have any tips on getting into the program? I've had my name in the beta pool for months now, and after hitting up all my techie friends, I've completely struck out on finding anyone with invites available

Best chance is probably Ebay - some have said they go for around a buck or so.

As said above- ebay is the best spot... 99 cents to about 3 bucks.
google voice invitation, Computers Networking, Everything Else. Great deals on eBay!

Viper, can you please clarify? The above two replies of yours were to two different questions that you just answered - one was mine, one was someone else's. I want the 2150mAh extended battery that you have listed in your accessories. You're saying that I will need to also buy the extended battery cover that is shown in the accessories. But then you indicate that if I were to buy the extended battery - that it should come with an extended battery door? I know this is the case with Seidio - when you buy their mammoth 3500mAh battery, you also get a back that can accommodate the added depth. In short, if I were to buy item #4, the 2150mAh battery, then I NEED TO BUY item #5 AS WELL, which is that backplate. Correct??? If so, then in this instance, the 2150mAh extended battery DOES NOT COME WITH AN EXTENDED BATTERY BACKPLATE, like Seidio's 3500mAh does.
Sorry to be so dense about this and belabor the point, but it's just not clicking with me. Thank you for all of your assistance, Viper!

It appears to me that he's saying that the extended backplate is included with the purchase of the battery. No need to purchase both of them individually.

Show me one video or picture of a NON ROOTED STOCK phone that has the default homescreen in Landscape in HTC Sense.
You can't.
In regards to the first post that you took offense to it was directed Solely at Steven ( i.e the reference to the hip and Macaroni Grill) Cant figure out how you mistook that one as being directed at you but rest assured it most definitly was not. He even quoted Steven in the post
http://androidforums.com/551213-post31364.html
and hope you stick around- this really is a great bunch of people (mostly
I appreciate all response to my concern and apologize if I misunderstood the post following my 1st post in this forum. My 1st post stated I am 69 years old and the immediate following post was directed to "Ol' Man" and referred to being careful not to have a second "Hip Replacement" which I felt deragotory and directed to me as it was immediate following my post.
Thanks to all that all that explained, I look forward to another 4 hours per day LOL reading the posts in this most informative "Incredible" forum as this will be my 1st Smart Phone. Again thanks.

Now THAT would make perfect sense, Dogg! I just didn't see the backplate indicated with the purchase of the 2150mAh battery. Obliged!

I agree- I was looking at the site tonight and apparently you can purchase just a normal backplate for a lot of phones- I guess in case one gets broken or lost or whatever, also looks like all the extended batteries come with covers, and there are also just extended battery covers by themselves). You can find them on verizon's site under accessories/batteries.
Yes Rob Jackson owns a number of sites including Phandroid and Android Forums so he's probably a pretty busy guy.
I think what he posted was presented to him in context of it relating to the Incredible. I don't think it's due to a lack if knowledge or interest. If you ever listen to a Phandroid Podcast you'll see he's quite knowledge and a huge supporter of Android.
Huh, never would have thought about that. The value you get from it would definitely seem to warrant the $2 up front, in only from the free SMS alone. Thanks.

You, sir, are welcome. Haha. And even though it wasn't listed on the site as being included, first thought was that Viper knew through first hand experience that larger batteries come with the backplates.
