That's not license to ramble on for 20 pages about hockey or whatever else. I think we need to at least make an effort to be Incredible-centric, and that doesn't mean making bad puns every other line about the "INCREDIBLE save that the Red Wings' INCREDIBLE goalie made in that INCREDIBLE game the other night", etc. etc. ad nauseum.

Amen brother. Unfortunately you're not going to win this fight. The admins may come in after 50 pages of totally worthless posts and say "let's try and keep things on topic" but in the end, they don't want to spend the time cleaning this thread up, and the people posting junk don't want to stop.

99% of this thread is garbage for those of us not interested in making new friends on a phone forum. Sorry, but it's true. The 1% that isn't garbage is why I'm still here, but I definitely get annoyed reading everyone else's pointless banter and poor logic in justifying why it's alright for them to be off topic all the time.

Feel free to read my previous posts (and the subsequent insults and screams of "troll!" I've received) to see my own views on the subject.

I'm sorry, I started reading on this page... but his information sounds legit regarding the iPhone. Check this post out regarding Apple OS tags on the Verizon network:

Is this proof of a Verizon iPhone? (updated) -- Engadget

Now, EG doesn't think it's real, but it backs up what this Craigslist guy is saying.

Not saying it's not true, in fact, if i'm being even more honest, couldn't care less about the topic, but the first thought that comes to mind is AT&T iPhone users using FIOS network WiFi at home, MiFi, or something else that's being misinterpreted.

Also, you may get more play on this post in another thread, just a heads up.

That may be so, but waiting it out and passing over the droid when I could've gotten it new? I'm jumping the waiting ship with the Incredible. :D

I'm jumping ship too, been hanging on through Verizon iPhone, BB Storm, BB Storm 2, Motorola Droid and Droid Eris. You can only wait so long for the right on!

Seriously?? I think it's been a pretty damn good couple of days... The info we take for granted and have had for a while is info that other major sites (Engadget, Gizmodo, BGR) are just releasing today as "breaking news".

They have two choices:

1. Eat a lot of crow and give props to this site/forum by flashing our watermark.

or...

2. Wait several days before they get their own version to post and call "breaking news".

Personally, i'm thrilled with how we're positioned to ride this out vs. others.;)

Depends on what you consider good info. Me, last thing that caught my eye was the users guide from the middle of last week. I keep refreshing this thread every few hours, see about 4 more new pages and no substance.

pics or prices would be nice

i would say that the incredible is not going to be their best phone or flagship either, especially with the supposed 2010 releases of droid2, moto shadow, and iphone. i would dare say that the incredible will be tied for 3rd behind droid2 and iphone.

When it is released it will be the best. There always is a better phone a few months later. :rolleyes:

I'm sick of these posts! There is a sign at the front door ok, you have the choice to spend your time here or go read somewhere else. Your posts about complaining are worse than some of our off topic banter. I would like to know how your b*tching is on topic. Just had to get that out there. This is an awesome forum and I hope we can keep this going after we all are able to actually hold our incredible phones

Yeah they would. Too bad we can't just make them up and post them :cool: We'd need the pix first before we could post them

I hear ya... all i can say is when that info is availble i'd be willing to bet top dollar we know first and break it to everyone else.

Until then, we keep on keepin' on...

Because if they tell you let's say a month before release that it is coming out, that puts them at a competitive disadvantage. Take this into consideration... Sprint is coming out with their EVO. What if Verizon announced the Incredible a month ago and Sprint goes "Oh wow, we don't have this feature in our phone. Let's put it into the EVO". Now Sprint will have a feature possibly that Verizon wanted exclusive to their phone. You guys know this... some people will buy a phone based off of 1 feature it has. What if this one feature causes Verizon to loose a huge amount of customers to Sprint?

I know this is a little out there, but that is one of the reasons why they don't announce it right away.

Don't get me wrong. I understand their reason for wanting to keep their new products confidential, but what really surprises me is how good of a job they have done. With a company the size of Verizon I would really expect a lot more leaks this close to launch. And I laugh every time I see a new story that includes pictures that NKT took months ago.

You're sick of our ~100 posts asking to try and keep things on topic, we're sick of your 20,000 off-topic ramblings. Tomato Tomahto?

Forum would be dead if there was no banter. I agree about the 20 pages thing, but there's no news and people are just waiting it out. Everyone needs to chill out demanding conversation stops before we end up with the flaming which plagued this thread earlier. We are all stressed over this phone. There's obviously no news right now so take a break and when you come back just ask for an update. We are all friendly here and don't mind filling others in on missed news.

Edit: thankfully my facebook wall isn't near this active ;)

I agree, banter on slow news day=good. But never one to go without offering a fix...how about adjusting the thread rules a bit?

Reliable, late-breaking Incredible info news in this font color, ala Anon

Questions about Incredible or related HTC/Sense UI like this

Off topic (Sports, pets, other phones, ages, sex-changes, Macaroni Grill, etc.) like this

Hey, it was just a thought...bored at work right now :rolleyes:

Agreed. Have there been any other phones that kept a company so tightly lipped? Or at least successfully?

I'll take pictures over the price, pretty sure the phone is going to be $199 on a 2 year contract i'd be very surprised if it were a bit cheaper but since the average price for a new smart phone is $199 you can count on it being that much.
