think you might wanna sleep on it. we all know that the majority of us are staying up till at least midnight today to pre-order the phone. and on the 29th we are totally going to be awake for a few days straight, play some hooky from work, and do nothing but stare at our new phones. lol

I'm all alone on this big board......
Can't wait to pre-order and get rid of this BB storm.
I'm surprised we STIll haven't seen any real videos of the phone in action. Oh well 2 more weeks!

Why is everyone so freaked out about pre-order info? Ordering it at 12:01am on the 18th or 19th does not mean getting it any sooner. They are not going to run out. Go buy it in the store when it comes out, or buy it online by early afternoon on the 28th. Nobody knows about this phone. Even when the Droid came out, with all that hype, they didn't sell out, geez, there wasn't even a line that day... in busy MA location anyways.

I think its only for the euphoria of being in the "mines on order" club.
And then being able to pop in here to proclaim their new status.

Don't forget the 100 Dollars on instant rebate you get to hang onto, which can be used 4 the purchase of the party food at the Incredible celebration. lot 2 be said about pre-ordering (food 4 thought)

im on a family plan with 3 lines in which mine is not the primary and isnt eligible for upgrade. one of the other lines is eligible for upgrade however, so can i upgrade to the incredible on that line to get the NE2 price then switch the incredible to my line and my phone to the other line without incurring an ETF?

I called *611 this afternoon and was told that if you buy the phone through a verizon store the rebate is mail in but if you buy it online then it is an instant rebate. Can anybody confirm this being the case? The reason im asking is because most phones that you buy online from the verizon website give the rebate instantaneous just like best buy does in the store(also best buy confirmed to me that they do not accept the NE2 and will not price match it either)
Yes, this is the way it is done by VZW.
I just got off the phone with a CSR @ vzw. She said that the Incredible is showing on thier system as in stock and there is nothing that says they cannot ship until a certain date. The 4-29-10 date is a date when "all channels" will be able to sell the device. So there is a possibility that customers who pre-order 4/19 could possibly have their phone by this Wednesday 
she put me on hold before telling me about the possible shipment date so I'm sure she asked someone.

Yeah daveydog, of course, but ya know, early birds get the worm, and after all this waiting on verizon, to make the move on dropping this baby, now that it's our turn to do something early, pull the trigger..PS did ya think they might give the first 1000 people a free Incredible. Now dog you know thats a joke......But ya just never know (smile)instant rebate is the same no matter when you order. or were you kidding.

While I would like to share in your enthusiasm, I am sure that she is misinterpreting information. She can try to send it out, but it won't happen until 4/28 so it will arrive on 4/29.
Then again, anything can happen. I wouldn't be suprised either way, but I doubt they start shipping them out before corporate stores have them and everyone is trained on them.
Can you imagine the frustration you would have if you had a bad device (bad pixel, power issues, etc) and you try to take it in an no one in the store has even seen them yet, and they can't replace it there because they don't have any?

hey did anyone else notice that verizon is requiring $9.99 or higher data packages on what they classify as "3G Multimedia Phones"? such as the EnV series, Chocolate, etc. that must be recent since i didnt need a data package on my EnV Touch that i got in October.

When I tried this on Friday, the second screen I was taken to had a big message at the top, bold and red, that said I had to switch to a nationwide plan. They even had a picture of a lady who seemed very happy to be on a nationwide plan standing in front of one of their 3G coverage maps.
Now I'm getting the same thing you are. It didn't tell me I had to change programs or anything. Like you, I took it to the very last page just to be sure, but it just asked me which features I wanted (texting, VVM, etc.). I'm a little freaked out...and very happy. I didn't want a nationwide plan, but I wanted the Incredible. Now it looks like I can have my cake and eat it too.
Did you notice the SMS options it gave you? Right now, I'm only getting the 250 msgs/month option (this time I was smart enough to get a screen capture). No unlimited SMS like I currently have. Am I the only one seeing this?
Anyway, good to hear that it worked out for you. Sorry for the confusion.

I do so believe they would call that murphy's law. And boy would that be excruciating.

I saw that. Multimedia phones require the $9.99 data package minimum. Smartphones, like the Incredible, require the $29.99 unlimited data package or higher.
