I can, in fact, see Anon's thoughts to some of the posts in this thread being similar to Stein's "Bueller?...Beuller?"

I think what a lot of people need to understand is that the average family (like mine) doesn't have an extra $30 per phone (times however many people are in the family) especially when a phone like this meets the needs perfectly. I'm not saying that there will be no teens with the incredible, but I'm sure as hell not buying one for my teenager. That'd just be stupid!

I agree 100%. We have 6 kids, 13-23. (We actually have to have two family plans.) We provide them with phones and texting, but I draw the line at a $30 plan. But if the Kins (especially the Kin 2) are compatible with a $10 data plan, I'm sure the younger ones will be very interested, and I'll probably give in - it seems like the extra $10 a month is just one of the costs of modern life that you have to get used to. I'm actually looking forward to more information about them.

That's how it's set up by default, but I have asked several Verizon employees both on and off the clock several times (because this is what I'll be doing). It's very simple to transfer to another line you have on your plan. Simple enough that they can do it quite simply at pretty much any third party store (Best Buy) as well.

Where do YOU live? Most families? All the teens have? You must live is a pretty affluent area. Either that or you're just grossly mistaken.

In my High School, almost everyone has a ipod/iphone. Many also have laptops. So i guess where im from it wouldn't be rare to see the incredibles everywhere within a couple months or so. we live in a pretty wealthy commmunity tho :)

Really? Most families that I saw had the teenager get the iPhone before he parents! There isn't much that parents won't do to keep their children (or pets) happy. It's a pittance compared to a MacBook/laptop, which all the teens also have....

Must be nice to have that kind of money! Me, I'm going to have to do some fast talking, fancy footwork (read footrub) to convince my wife to let me get an incredible...and that's assuming we can AFFORD the dang thing when a price is announced. Around here, there's usually only ONE smartphone in a family. And even one family computer! Shocking, I know. :eek: :p

That's my thought, too. At least now we'll have access to their texting history. Things are so unsafe the way they are set up now. I can't believe they get away with it. And they use the law to hide behind, to boot!

The teen & student market is a HUGE growth market, especially given that growth of cell phone sales among adults is saturated. We should hope that the Incredible/Android platform can become as attractive to them as the iPhone has.

I don't about anyone else, but I wouldn't want every teen in the neighborhood to have to same kick ass phone I have.

Last week...it's cool, Boy Genius is still learning.

That's new stuff posted on BGR isn't it, atleast updated specs. It mentions the 8GB of storage, 512 for both ROM & RAM instead of 576. It mentions Flash lite, Google OTA, & Sense with Google Experience. Nothing we didn't already know, but it is new.

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/04/13/htc-incredible-specs/

also mentions Visual Voicemail, which I think was omitted from the last one, but doesn't mention FM Radio.

Nevermind, I compared the 2, they are the same. I just didn't see what i was hoping to.

LOL, so am I. I didn't say I only had one gadget, but it's all old stuff I had before I got married with 3 kids. Now, I'm usually broke. My computer was last updated 7 years ago, and my wife's is even older. It's just one of those things you learn early...no money, no toys. :(

But dangit, I'm getting a new phone. Even if I have to give footrubs, backrubs, AND watch the kids all day Saturd...wait, I do that anyway. Oh Lord, I am so SCREWED! :o

You too? I have like three computers disassembled in my room at the moment along with an iPod Mini and various other items scattered throughout. I've taken apart my XV6800 more than once to get it working again, but promise to not touch the Incredible!

Well some O.T. Non-Incredible information from today in regarding Verizon's LTE. I was working with some of the Verizon network engineers today and from my understanding, the west coast/western states (Arizona, Utah, California, ect) will be some of the first to see LTE towards the end of 2010.

Thats cool, I know MetroPCS of all people are going to rollout lte first in California but they are working with limited bandwidths so it won't be near Verizon speed. I wish I could find an LTE rollout map
