I'm a new guy, first term, and have no loyalty to Verizon.
I came from a regional carrier (US Cellular) that has 5x better reception in this area. The "strength of the Verizon network" is something I would never brag about with my personal background. Weak, inconsistent reception, "phantom" missed calls, and texts delayed for hours. Plans are expensive. Honestly there's not much to be overly impressed with. I don't mean that all to be a bash on VZW (I'm not in a mega city area) moreso to say they are just OK for me. When I get bored I start exploring. So that makes me curious about Sprint. I guess in regards to VZW - you don't know what you have 'til it's gone maybe? The EVO looks better than the Incredible to me (I don't even care about 4G either) and Sprint plan pricing is good so I am seriously considering seeing if the grass might be greener.
The Incredible is a good phone, would keep me satisfied for awhile, and was VZW's chance to get their hooks into me for at least another year right NOW. Come summer anything is fair game again. It'll be fun to see how it all shakes out. (my GF is pre-ordering the Incredible so I'll get to play without paying!
)Not sure if this was posted...

When its a brand new phone that is just being released dont they not ship it till the day its released? I know thats how it has been with other previously new released phones.
If you signed up for the e-mail notification it says in the fine print that all order placed before 4PM on 4-28 will receive the phone on the 29th.

Good find, but sadly these seem to be all general cell phone accessories. Nothing really Inc-specific. Hopefully soon!
Anyone find a page online for BestBuy preorders?

Sprints EVO looks nice but it's just way too big for me. Just like the HD2. I don't have small hands like the guy on the burger king commercial but my phone needs to feel comfortable in my hand.

I guess it really does all come down to where you live and who you get best reception from in the area you are most in. but I can honestly tell you I moved from Florida with Verizon to California and never changed my plan and I got reception GREAT in both areas of the country... can you hear me now?

You can always cancel a pre-order if it comes to that.

there is no restocking fee if you just Return the phone beacause you didnt like it. They DO charge the restocking fee if you "switch" / "exchange" to another phone supposedly.

well. if you think verizon is bad with delayed texts..... wait till you try sprint.... try days... weeks even. My dad has sprint, sometimes voicemails and texts show up on his phone a few days late.. one time he got a voicemail about 2 weeks after it was left.. and sprint is "excellent" where he lives, according to their coverage map. LOL. if that's their 'excellent' service, i'd hate to see their 'good' and 'fair' coverage. oh and outside, on the roof, he barely gets one bar of service. and it's not the phone. he's been through many phones.. all the same.

If you hardly ever travel and don't plan on moving I'd check out Sprint. For me, I get terrible coverage at my house, but everywhere else is great. I tavel back to middle-of-nowhere NY to visit family and Verizon is the only company that has coverage in the middle of PA (Rt 15).

Embargoed more than likely. Engadget, Noah Phone Dog, etc. have stated they can't release any reviews until tomorrow, so I am sure that the lack of information - even from the 99 conference - is probably related.
There will be a flood of them tomorrow.
