***Official HTC Incredible Thread***

Just had an interesting phone call with someone at the closet Best Buy Mobile near me (1 hour away). I asked about pre-ordering the HTC Incredible and she told me she had them in stock... I made sure she heard me right. Now should I take a drive?
 
The one golf tournament that Verizon sponsors on the PGA (the "Verizon Heritage") is being played today on CBS for a long while.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Verizon promo for the incredible during an event like this - I'll keep my eyes peeled and let everyone know if I see anything.

but does the zagg do a good job of anti-glare? that's my biggest thing since everyone is saying it will be hard to see in daylight.

i have an LG Dare, and for anyone else who has one too, you know it'd be easier to kidnap Obama than see your screen outside on a sunny day, i want those days to be over.

I honestly don't think the Invisishield helps with glare. It's a fantastic product and worth the money, but won't prevent glare.

It is more scratch resistant than a typical screen protector in my opinion.

Can existing customer, due for an annual upgrade on their 2 year contract, pre order (BB or VZ) I think I read that you can't.

Sorry, I tried looking at most of the previous 39K + posts, but couldn't find the post

If you're asking if someone whose contract is up for renewal can pre-order this phone, of course they can. Why wouldn't a current customer be able to pre-order this?
The only thing that might prevent anyone from pre-ordering is if you're behind on your account, or something of that nature. :o

Take the drive...although still doesn't help me :( Although I have a Best Buy Mobile near me (quite a few actually), because I'm going from a corporate discount on a dumb phone and now getting data.... I may or may not get one on data (depends on the company and I don't work for them anymore.....so not taking chances)

Following in the not taking chances...I'll be waiting to walk into a Verizon store and buy it. 12 days to go for me.

Pretty sure you'll regret it when she says she was mistaken and doesn't have any.

You definitely can't do it through BestBuy because you can only do an Annual Upgrade through Verizon. But you should be able to do it through Verizon no problem ... At least I hope so cause that's what I want to do too.
 
FWIW

I live in ND and called Best Buy on yesterday. the Mobile Manager said without hesitation the pre order starts Sunday the 18th. Tomorrow already.....hard to believe!

My contract isn't up. My 2 year date is November, my NE2 date is July, but I'm eligible for my annual upgrade (with 20.00 upgrade fee) now. this is where I thought I read that VZ will not pre order for me. Hope I'm wrong
 
Thought I would post the response I got from VZW for my situation in upgrading since my NE2 is not till 10/5/2010

I asked what my options were to get the D.I. at a discounted rate and also said I wanted a 1yr contract not 2yr because I'd like to be able to upgrade to an LTE phone when it's available next year.

1. Currently, your New Every Two upgrade date is set for 10/5/2010. A new 2-year customer agreement is required to receive the additional $50.00 New Every Two credit at the time of your eligibility.

Therefore, if you were to accept a new 2-year customer agreement after 10/5/2010, you will receive the 2-year promotional price of any phone we offer plus any applicable mail-in-rebate. You will also receive up to an additional $50.00 credit off the phone.

2. Since you are interested in only a 1-year contract, the New Every Two credit would not be an option. Currently, you are eligible to participate in our Annual Upgrade program at anytime.

With this option, you may accept a 1 or 2-year customer agreement. Keep in mind that the price of the phone will be different based on the contract term you select. Typically, but not always; there is about a $50.00 price difference between the 1 and 2-year price of our phones. You receive a bigger discount by signing the 2-year customer agreement.

I recommend accepting a 1-year customer agreement and taking advantage of your Annual Upgrade when the HTC Incredible is released. Unfortunately, we do not have pricing information on this phone yet as it has not been released.

However; when you sign 1-year customer agreements, you may upgrade to a new device every 10 months, as opposed to waiting 12 months (Annual) or 20 months (New Every Two) on a 2-year customer agreement.

You will pay a little more for the phone, but you will have the option to change phones more frequently as you mentioned in your email. If you have additional questions, you may contact our Customer Service Department at 800-922-0204, or by dialing airtime free from a Verizon Wireless cell phone *611 (SEND).

Having a phone in stock and actually being able to sell it to you are not always the same thing. Did you ask her if she can actually sell you one today? :confused::rolleyes:
Click to expand...

She said to come down and pick one up. My guess is its the Eris. When my wife calls I'll find out the price to rule it out or not.

A mans gotta keep the dream alive!
 
I have one more question. When I port my number from Sprint to Verizon, will my account on Sprint automatically be canceled?

If the stores open at 7am, like they did for the Moto Droid launch in November, don't plan on your store still having any left at 9am.... :o

interesting... I didn't know they might open early... I will be calling around a couple days in advance to check opening times then !!!

I hope you're wrong too :D

I want to do this exact same thing cause my NE2 isn't until October. I guess we'll have to wait until Monday to find out how the pre-order process works. Unless someone can answer definitively that you can Pre-Order with an Annual upgrade.
