Ok so in the reviews this wasn't answered. Is the incredible going to have 7 customizable screens or are you locked down to their presets for 2 of the 7 screens?

Whatcha mean? In the videos I've seen you can change the 'scene' which definitely changes all of them. And I've read reviews stating that you can change every screen of every scene.

Somewhere in the process it asked about add-on accessories. And there was a link for "what comes in the box" or something like that. It was so slow I did not click it.

I assume a house AC power cord USB based comes with it and that we have to supply our own 16 GB card and our own Car charger.

Does anyone know if that is correct?

Anyone know of a cheap Ebay car charger that is known to really work with the Incredible? I do not want to give verizon $22 dollars each for one.

This one is $5.79 shipped:
1
ECO Car Travel Charger for HTC Incredible (Verizon) - eBay (item 230462745486 end time May-15-10 15:32:28 PDT)

This one $5.49 shipped:
1
Micro USB Car Charger for HTC Incredible (Verizon) - eBay (item 250616089176 end time May-15-10 15:32:07 PDT)

Anyone know if they are really the correct charge plugs?

It is now 4:41 and I still can't get in. I can't even sign in to My Verizon to check my account. I just get the same page not available stuff.

not helpful at all, comparing the htc incredible to the motorola droid all the test seem to say the motorola always has 2 more bars than the incredible

But if you recall egadgets review, they stated their reception was great even though their bars were bouncing all over the place. They stated the software might not be giving the bars an accurate representation of what is actually being received.

Were all of the tests done in New York?
 
The androidcommunity review says after having the phone in their pocket, they noticed the screen already had scratches on it.... :(

But if its the same screen as the nexus one, how can that be?...

/searching this thread for screen protectors.....

PS anyone know of other good screen protectors besides those in this thread? What screen protectors are you buying?

After watching all the video reviews, and how quickly it got fingerprint smudges on the screen, I'd say there's a 70% chance I'll be getting a Steinhall Anti-Fingerprint one for it.

And I'm just gonna stick with the ones i read about in the thread. From what I read here and elsewhere, Steinhall is the best.

EDIT: POST 100!!!!

a few reviews say this, but as bgr's review points out:
"We are not sure if the signal is just not being represented properly due to a software issue or the phone is actually receiving a lower signal due to other reasons."

i think there was only one review that actually mentioned trouble with making calls, the others only noted lack of bars...

Sorry not your question the one posted. Only one had trouble making calls. That could have been a bad test device, or there could be other extraneous factors that the tester neglected to put in their review. We will have to wait and see. I hope there aren't the problems the N1 had/has which many people have posted about.
 
Life is now good...was finally able to get in to MY Verizon...and ordered my Incredible! Now I can get on with the rest of my day! LOL :)

Not yet, but I'm sure it'll be around about the time of launch.

Cool, I think I am going to get the anti-fingerprint one and the crystal. In the tests they said there was some trouble viewing the screen in the daylight. I believe the anti-fingerprint one could help to reduce the glare.

It's tough though. The anti-fingerprint one adds a little bit of a "softness/fogginess" that doesn't make the screen look as sharp, and i'm not a big fan of that. I'll probably end up w/ the crystal and just whipe it off constantly in the end. Don't wanna lose any quality at all. Gotta keep 'er lookin pretty :cool:

Edit: I wonder if we have a shot at hitting 50,000 posts in this thread before release...

Yeah, I agree with ya there. Can't have a nice screen like that and let it go to waste. I wish there was one that cut the glare but preserved picture quality. I know on Panasonics higher end plasma TV's they put an anti-glare coating. It helps but there is still some glare.
