IS THIS TRUE?!?!?! :confused::confused::confused:
 
Sim Card?
This may have already been asked and answered (I just can't find it in the 38,000 posts), does the INC accept "sim cards" for operation in other countries (especially China?) thanks!

I was just a BB and asked about it , the girl said she had no knowledge of it and even looked in her "employee news" .... seems some of the bb mobile stores are disconnected from the big news.... IM gonna try again tomorrow with the direct link I just got...

Wasn't there someone who posts here that works at Best Buy about 10-15 pages ago who said that this is not the case? As far as I know, pre-sale simply means that you can give them your money, and wait until they release the phone. Heck, it's unlikely they'll have any in the stores this Sunday.

I'd love to be wrong on this as I would really like to be able to buy the phone before I go on vacation next week, but the dude who posted that has given us good info before, so I believe him over random Best Buy employees that answer the phone and aren't as obsessed with it as one of them who posts regularly in this thread.

is this truuuuue???????????? !!!!!!
 
Note: pre-sale available in Best Buy Mobile stores only. Online pre-sales are not available at this time.

This still makes me believe that BBM stores are different from normal Best Buy stores and that you'll only be able to go to those Best Buy Mobile stores to get them, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

The BBY announcement says "Come in and stake your claim." That sounds like pre-order to me but I will check my BBY in the am too.
 
I think these are a little bigger

When have the words "freezing" and "San Diego" ever been used in the same sentence?

LOL...I was wondering that, too. Especially towards the end of April. :)

Yeah I had to do that when I transferred everything from my voyager to my razr but it is difficult to explain. My mom has her own phone and I cant upgrade till like july so they can get a early upgrade cause she is a primary so I was going to take the upgrade she gets so its like her getting it but then she would have no number if i do that cause it will be under her number. So how would they switch that it might be the same way there. Unless when I get the phone I just put in my number and do it on that website and see if it will work which it should. But thanks a lot anyways you guys are awesome. I never owned a smartphone before and I am very excited.

Some very knowledgeable VZW reps on our forums here have said that it's called an "alternate upgrade" and they do it all the time. You can go ahead and order on your mom's line (online) and then when you receive it, they can activate it and change it to your number. If you lookup posts by viperboy (I'm pretty sure that's his full screen name), he explains it in detail and assured us all that it was a commonplace thing to do. So your Mom and keep her phone, and you can get your Inc. But it'd be worth trying to find his post. Probably 150 pages back now but that advanced search using his screen name (and they auto suggest with registered users so you'll find him) and search for alternate upgrade.

that would be steller! To bad I cant switch till the 1st of May:(

I really dont see this happening tho. Hell my local Best Buy just heard of the Incredible today, and told me to call back tomorrow to find out from the mobile manager if there would even be a pre order!

I have to admit to doing the same. I knew I'd be getting the Inc eventually so I joined the beta as soon as I saw it was open. But then I'm a little crazy like that. I asked for a BT keyboard for the Inc almost a month ago for my b'day too. Planning ahead :)
