What did we see today? Verizon site saying release on the 29th. We've seen official Best Buy docs that say Launch on the 29th.

I think we can safely say the 29th is the relase date.

so... is somebody saying they will eat their hat if it is released on a different day?:D

so i see that someone took a snapshot of the HTC INCREDIBLE in Best Buys Inventory system and in the description it now says HTC INCREDIBLE. SO IT WOULD APPEAR that i was INDEED correct when i originally posted image back on april 5 stating that the BBY21LD phone was MORE THAN LIKELY the HTC INCREDIBLE and NOT A BLACKBERRY like many astute forum readers had assumed, and that it would arrive in stores the 25th of April. THe skus match up with my original post. i would very much like to thank the folks that believed me at the time especially montana man for sending me a PM thanking me for leaking the photo. i would also like to thank all the haters and idiots stating that i photo shopped the image. it will be my great honor knowing that my info digging brought more information out and narrowing down a release date. I havent been on the forums nor did i try finding more info on this phone because quite frankly all the idiots, trolls, whatever you want to call them did not make it worthwhile in tyring to find out more information. i have read almost every post and with whatever info was posted it was scrutinized by every inch even tho those same people scrutinizing it did absolutley nothing productive in this forum besides badger

Peace i will have the luxury of playing with this phone in a week!!!!

Yes, you were the first BB employee that talked about it(couldn't remember your username)...didn't you originally say the sale date was the 29th too?

Thanks for your contributions.

But if there in stock, why wait 4 days? :confused: That does not make any sense to me.

To ensure that they are IN STOCK at all stores - allowing for transportation delays, mis-routing and other delivery and inventory issues. Prior planning to avoid availability issues. You wouldn't want to show up and have them say "We haven't received ours yet" - right?

FWIW, thanks. Your post earlier this month was a huge lift for the people following this thread.

I'm sure I'm posting a repeat here (thread moves fast, so sorry if so):

This does provide us with some additional information that we can plug in to testman and the live site, and that is the code they use on the site of 2098.

So, if you go to VZW, and look at the specs of a phone, say the Samsung Omnia II, the link is as follows: Enter your location

Therefore, we can change the link so that the part after PhoneId is 2098, and we might get somewhere.
Enter your location

It does nothing right now, and testman is down for me now as well, so nothing to see here. Yet.
 
I don't know how to post a screen shot, but the Yahoo homepage has Droid Incredible as number 6, it was number 1 a little while back.

Can someone post this screen?

just think it a bit appropriate at this time

They usually post in ascending order and they're already well over 5100, like the latest phones get the biggest number, so 2098 likely won't be the phone ID for the Incredible.


Edit:
I think the Eris was like 5069 and the Moto Droid was 5070, and then the Devour came up as 5169, so i was thinking we might see the Inc, at 5170.


Or it's something like that.

I don't blame you for not wanting to face the scrutiny, but you also have to understand that if there weren't a lot of skeptics, there would be even more people trying to pass off bad info. It's happened in this thread and would only be worse if everyone was gullible.

I take credit for outing Steven as a our opera singing elder. If it wasn't for a good Rick Roll, who knows if he would've told us about his artistic career.

Rick Roll, although annoying and seemingly pointless can still serve a purpose. (Modified quote from one of the top 10 movies of all time)


Edit: but sorry Steven58 if it cause you some trouble with your pupils.

Not at all. They fear me. ;)
