Anyone else get the feeling we are being used as an involuntary test marketing group?!?

Marketing to us is like preaching to the choir, I don't know how useful it would be.

Why do Verizon employees know nothing about this phone. I just talked to the store manager at my local Verizon and he said maybe later this year. Wtf!!!! I'm so angry what an idiot!

It hasn't been officially announced by Verizon. Most of the people working in these stores don't know about this handset unless they breathlessly troll tech blogs and phone forums (or are told by people like us!)

So I've seen a lot of people posting replies and questions to things that were said several pages back and already addressed. I thought I'd share my technique for replying to people whenever I'm playing catch-up on a thread.


  1. Find a post you want to respond to.
  2. Open the post in a new tab. You can do this by middle-clicking the number at the top right of the post.
  3. Continue reading the thread, opening new tabs for each post you plan on replying to.
  4. Once you're at the end of the thread, go through the opened post tabs and close all of the ones that are no longer relevant.
  5. Go to the tab for a post you want to reply to and click
    quote.gif
  6. Type your reply beneath the quote. Do not submit the reply.
  7. Go to each the next post tab and click the Quote button.
  8. Copy the quote text from the text area and paste it underneath your response in the first post tab.
  9. Provide a response for that.
  10. Repeat steps 7-9 until you've addressed all open tabs.
  11. Click "Submit Reply" and be happy that you've helped improve this beast of a thread!
Just a suggestion that will make everyone's lives easier :o

Or just multi-quote as you go through until you get caught up. But either way, an excellent suggestion.

Maybe, but most people that have staging servers don't make them public facing...even still, we just happen to find it during the very brief time it was available? Too coincidental for me.

If it wasn't leaked all over the interwebs, I bet it would still be open to the public.

Just sounded like everyone could get into the site and see. I get user name and password required.

It wasn't like that earlier, if you scroll back some pages you will know, and will be able to see screen shots of the page. Since then it has been locked down, sorry about the bad news.

The company that I work for as a web designer (not Verizon) has public facing dev, test and staging servers, but they are all password protected. I would not be surprised if they intentionally left the servers open to let the information leak out.

Since you're new here I won't go too hard on you. But you might want to read a few pages before posting. This horse has beaten to a bloody pulp then came back from the dead and beaten again. It was up momentarily before it was blocked.

Actually, there's an easier way to quote multiple messages. The tiny square with the green + next to it is what is called "Multi-quote". If you wish to reply to multiple messages at once, click the "Multi-quote" button on each message you wish to quote and it will change to indicate you have selected that message.

It is OK to navigate between pages, as the forums will remember your choices.

When you've selected all the messages to which you wish to reply, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "New Reply". You will be taken to a new page with a window in which you can type your post, and in that window you will see a separate quote blurb for each message you previously selected! It's a nifty feature, to be sure.

I'm not going back to find the original post, but IIRC it said "OR, you can"... blah, blah, blah...which means either/or to most folks.

It's still BS. I was gonna post then, but am at work and had to tend to something else. Guarantee some poor, mis-guided, uneducated sap would try this if this thread wasn't so fast-paced or in a different situation.

Reckless post on your part, very bad etiquette and protocol. PERIOD!

Yeah, I just saw that. You'd think they'd no the phone won't work on T-Mobile's network. You know...since it's their job to be in the know...

I am catching up to about 20 pages - so no flames if this has been said please.

I think the Costco T-Mobile reference is due to their cellular provider not yet being setup for selling Verizon phones. Follow the Costco links and you get tossed over the fence from the Costco web page to a 3rd party. That web site has "Verizon" as a carrier coming "soon" (anyone heard that phrase before?).

In thier system they did not have a placeholder yet for Verizon, and I am betting dimes on the dollar that T-Mobile was simply plugged in or a default.

I am betting those taking that pic from our forum and playing up the Incredible coming to T-Mobile will have egg on their face. I bet this is simply a data entry problem.

Funny though! :D

Not to worry, with all the hype around this device, I'm sure the Incredible has a built in self destruct feature to prevent such dishonor of being blended, removing its self and the individual doing the blending from existence.
 
Hi, N00b here. I've been following this thread for a few weeks ever since my KRZR died. Now using my bro's old LG somethingorother (looks like a RAZR) and hoping it holds out till the 29th.

I'm wondering if VZW is doing a site update or we're just overloading their servers since I keep on getting a-
"My Verizon is temporarily unavailable"
