Or the great videos they will show to all the teenagers about video chat and driving fail...


What part of OKC?
I might be able to get my brother to go to the vzw store for you and reserve a phone.

Probably somewhere in Edmond. My sister lives in North Edmond with her husband and three kids. I go there to visit twice a year.
 
Glad to help a fellow Yankees fan!

I just spoke with a VZ rep on the phone -- she explained the "new every 2" price gives you the $100 discount. Additionally, if you're upgrading the primary line, you get an extra $50 off.

This is why some people are getting the $149 price total.

Call Verizon directly, check the status of your NE2. Ask if they can push the date up!

1-800-922-0204



what does "upgrading the primary line" mean/entail?
 
I hope we will see some accessory releases soon!!

I e-mailed OtterBox in hopes that they will have a Defender Series Case for the Incredible. We have one for my wife's IPhone and I love it!! No worries starting up the GPS and throwing it in a bag for an ATV trip. :) I swear you could almost pitch the thing at a wall and it would keep it safe. LOL :)

Ok I'm excited the date is coming FAST!! Bye MotoQ and Sprint!
 
Hey guys i just stopped by BB...and so far there has only been 1 pre-order there...i asked what the price would be for a 1 year contract and the lady said verizon doesn't do 1 year contracts anymore....she seemed kind of clueless and just tried to pressure me into getting the 2 year. Is it true that verizon doesn't do 1 contracts anymore though?
 
When you call using Google Voice it routes through one of Google's call centers. I just find out which call center my GV number uses and add that to my Friends and Family and then I use no minutes at all.


wait wait wait, how did you figure out which call center your GV was using? I mean, you're still having to purchase the 900 minute plan for the "Favorites" right? which is like $49.99

I guess you could cancel the texting (mms isnt too big a deal) but with the minutes and data, plus taxes and insurance you're looking at $90 still.

Nope. VZ does do 1yr contracts. Not sure if maybe that is a BB thing or the lady is full of ****. I'd try another BB or speak with her manager.
 
I've read some stories about people getting their NE2 discount moved so that they could upgrade to the Incredible.

How many days, weeks, months was the most change to an eligibility date that people have seen?

I'm eligible for my annual upgrade - have been since November but my NE2 isn't until July but I want the Incredible now and my NE2.

Any suggestions on what to say to the CSR?

I was eligible for the NE2 upgrade starting July 8th (the 20 month mark). I e-mailed them, saying that I've been with them since 2003 and that I was upgrading from a regular phone with no data plan to the Incredible with the $30 data plan, and asked if they would be willing to move it up to April 29th so I could get the phone right away. They said yes.

People seem to have better luck via e-mail, but I've seen some people do it via calling too.
 
you won't have to do any ordering. if you bought your droid at verizon then just take it back on the 29th and swap it for an incredible. thats what i'm doing. if you ordered the droid online then you will have to it online.


I am STILL on the fence between Droid and Incredible :confused:

Based on reviews, the Droid has much better battery life and radio reception. Three reviews point this out. Droid has LV overclock kernels, so just as fast as Snap (proven) and now that cool little gamepad add-on (Gamegripper) was released. Also, Droid gets even better battery life OC'd when using a lower voltage kernel.

Less than two weeks for definitive tests, since there will be plenty of Inc's to compare to Droid :)

I did it calling, they moved my wife's NE2 up 10 months, so if they say no they cant, then they're lying. Or maybe it has to be a manager, everyone just needs to be nice to the reps so they can work their magic.
 
For the accessories, I see that Verizon is not selling a Car Dock or a Desktop Dock.

Does anyone know if the Car Dock and Desktop Doc for the Nexus One will work with the DI?

The car dock and desktop dock will be available after launch. Not sure how much longer but if you read the launch packet that's what it says.
 
This is the rubber case/holster setup that VZW is offering. Anyone have a clue who the vendor might be??

Its exactly the boring pedestrian stuff you'd expect from VZW's product management people, but for $29 it might have do until the better vendors get their cases to market.

I'm on a plan with 4 of my family members. So there are 5 of us total. I'm the only one with a smartphone so to keep me from using any minutes I use this approach so as a family we don't go over.

They had some that did not have a clip on there.
I agree though need better colors.

I bought a case from verizon when I pre-ordered this morning. I just did a search on "droid incredible" and all the accessories came up for sale.

There are only a couple cases on the website as of today,,,, there are still other cases that were shown in the launch guide , like a half black half red hard case.... hopefully they will be added soon along with the other accessories...
