OK, so I plan on pre-ordering The Inc on 4/19, does anyone know if they reevaluate my "corporate discount" when I sign the new contract? The reason I ask is that I'm still receiving a discount from a company I used to work for that recently went out of business.

I don't think they generally do, But I would expect them to just down the discount at some point when they realize the company is gone :P
 
Screen Protector:

SGP Steinheil Crystal and anti-fingerprint:

SGPStore.com



It seems to me the reviewers prefers the anti-fingerprint, but to me its matte finish makes the screen look foggy and it dulls the colors. It does prevent fingerprints though.

I got the crystal for my zune hd and it is awsome.

How hard is it to remove fingerprints? It was literally impossible for me to get them off of the protector that came with my touch, which I trashed in a day.
 
quick question... i want to preorder this phone from bestbuy tomorrow for $199.99 (my NE2 doesnt hit until july). I have a $100 giftcard though, so this seems like the logical move for me. However, after i get the phone I want to switch my phone number AND cancel my texting plan, I have GV (free SMS.. i cant keep paying $110 a month for a phone... and can deal w no MMS).

I heard Best Buy wont let you change your plan after you sign up?? or you get charged or something? can anyone validate that for me?
Just go on the Verizon website and change your plan. It's pretty simple.
 
I'll be doing my pre-order through vzw and having it delivered to my work. We get daily deliveries before 10am on overnight shipments so it will be there first thing in the morning. Then I'll be able to let it charge fully at my desk without the temptation of playing with it since I'll be at work :)

no temptation?? omg that would be just too much temptation for me... just dont turn the power on.... lol... I would be loading apps on it all day long if it were anywhere around me....

hehe

I was looking at the crystal because fingerprints/glare doesn't really bother me. What I really want is scratch protection with out a case. How is the crystal for scratch protection?
 
I finally got an answer for ne2 at bbm! They said you CANNOT use ur ne2 for a new phone at bbm, which is super dumb, only at vzw. So yea im going to pre order online.

I've only had it for a few days, so I would hate to give you a good or bad review, maybe someone else on here who has had it for longer can comment. So far so good though.

No, easy as using the included cloth.


i dont think SGPstore.com has a protector yet for the Droid Incredible

You are correct, but they have protectors for all major devices so I'm sure it is only a matter of time.

So they give you the phone at the 2-year contract price discount, but not the extra $100 off that NE2 provides? That sucks because once you upgrade your NE2 resets. I guess I'm getting mine directly from VZW also.

They don't. I have a corporate discount from a company I left over 2 years ago. I have switched many phones and the discount keeps going. I actually told them that hey I don't work there anymore, and the CSR told me to not worry about it. I was like ookkaaayy.....

why would they lose a sale over something VZ gives automatically. I am going to bb tomorrow and if they dont give me the NE2 discount Ill just order online... anycase I dont think that sounds right.

that will work UNLESS the company is not in their system... which might be tha case for the guy u responded to.

dont bother going they are going to say, "no." i was wondering the same thing too of why they wouldn't give the ne2 discount and lose sales...
 
I went to a BB yest with a mobile setup inside and they said they could do it...

this was a BB that wasnt on the BB mobile website...

Right. some Best Buys have a mobile store INSIDE, but they won't show up on the website because it's not ONLY a BB Mobile. I've already got mine pre-ordered from a regular BB with Mobile inside

Please let us know what they say...I might stop by BB as well. Of course, I'll let you guys know what happens. If true, that's too bad. I'm getting 2 (one for the wife), and am NOT going to give up the NE2 discount that I finally just got VZW to move up for me. Looks like BB just lost 2 more sales.:(

I just called BB and they said they DO do the NE2.. so you might want to doublecheck that for the guy that said BBM doesnt do the NE2 discount.
 
Ugh I just called the best buy in Selisgrove, PA - it was just built and they have best buy mobile.

The guy I talked to said "he hadn't heard anything about a pre-order" and took my number down and said he would call me back.

I seriously can't believe more people haven't been calling about it.
 
it can be a bb that has a bb mobile in it. which is most of them.

Not around here (Oklahoma City area). I called 3 Best Buy stores. They are aware of the DI and the April 29 release date, but they are not aware of a pre-sale or pre-order starting tomorrow.

I was hoping for an eager salesperson to invite me in to preorder tomorrow and hint about being able to pick the phone up early, but alas, no. :cool:

I wonder if some of the BB store managers are just taking it upon themselves to sell a $50 gift card and put people on a waiting list since they're getting calls for it from all the Best Buy Mobile buzz (and obvious confusion). I didn't even know there were stand-alone BBM stores 'till yesterday. They seem to be only in a handful of states.
 
My husband also got the offer to upgrade early to a smartphone. He is not interested; he's one of those people who'll keep his phone until it falls apart. He is grandfathered in on an America's Choice plan with a Motorola Adventure; does anyone know if he got the Incredible to later switch over to me (we can't do alternate upgrade because we have separate accounts) if he would have to migrate from his AC plan?

Yes, he would.

I'm on an ACII plan and all the android phones on the website show that they are compatible with my plan. Sure hope the Incredible is too, because I don't want to change it.
