just thought i'd repost it for people that didn't get a chance to see! so much for everyone thinking it'd be the same screen as the desire/n1...

I guess mine breaks the rules as well...
and this is exactly why he's considered a troll, laying the incredible on its back touches the lens no more THAN ANY OTHER PHONE, even the rumored new iphone will lay flat on the table meaning the table will touch it, just like with the incredible.

I would suspect a fair amount of them do..
especially if you live in a single family home, in a reasonably nice area, and have been there awhile ordering a fair amount of stuff...

Congrats Anon!!!
most of the reviews that talk about it, say it's already flush and doesnt actually stick out, just looks like it does.
From what I understand there was an app for the Moto Droid to access voice dialing. Does anyone know if the Incredible has a feature like this? It would be great to utilize my hands-free in the car.
Also- as far as Fed-Ex delivery, I was told by VW customer service the devices ship out on the 26th to be received by the 29th. People really need to chill, you pre-order you'll get your phone on or around the 29th. I'm exited too but I'm more pissed about how my corp. discount seems to be pointless. I really don't feel like paying 160 a month for two phones. I'm having a hard time justifying that.

Why I picked the Incredible. (A love story).
First it should be noted that I’m currently plagued by a Storm. Yes, the Blackberry Storm. So ultimately anything could be considered an improvement. I just want to voice my comparisons out loud in an informal letter. I spent some time comparing a few phones and while looking into all my options here’s how I came to fall in love with the Incredible:
First, the much anticipated EVO: It’s just too big. I know that’s actually part of the selling point. But using the HD2 as a measuring stick, the thing is just too darn big. I need something I can comfortable hold in one hand, slide into my pocket or don’t feel like a dwarf when holding up to my ear. Specs wise the phone offers some “improvements” like the HD video recording and HDMI output. Both seem nice, but I won’t give away my perfectly sized devise for those “improvements”. While the WiMax sounds nice, I won’t be too excited about this new roll out for anther year or two when we can actually see what the difference is. For now Sprint will have it available in only a few selected cities (yes mine is one) and I just don’t trust Sprint (former customer). Finally, this phone is still months away so that kills anything it may have had going for it, which wasn’t much. Even if the Incredible didn’t exist, I would still be looking past the EVO for love.
Next, the iPhone 3GS. It’s not a bad phone, I’m no hater. My wife has one and loves it. I play with it occasionally so I’m familiar with what it can do and what it can’t do. Initially its fun and does everything fine but it is just sort of boring to me. I’m aware the 4.0 update will help with many of my current complaints (multi-tasking for example). However, it seems to me this “update” is merely a “catch up”. For arguments sake I’ll assume the update is in affect now to compare. I still think the phone’s capabilities are limited due to Apple’s controlling mindset. While I contribute that outlook to much of Apple’s success, I also consider it to be part of their demise; at least to me as a consumer. I simply don’t think Apple has the consumer in mind. I’ve seen the way the limited way they roll out products, giving people small bites and keeping the carrot dangling in front of everyone. Purely in the interest of making money and getting people to “upgrade”. That’s fine if they want to do that. Heck, you might even argue that its good business. While that may be a point worth arguing, I’m not going to do it. Because like Apple, I have only my best interest in mind and theirs is not a philosophy I can support. Apple made the Smartphone “cool” sure, and I actually am grateful for that as many other manufactures jumped aboard. But the Incredible does everything I want and need it to do (and more), some things better, some things maybe not as much. But it still does everything and I get a better network and don’t have to be trapped by Apple's take-take-take; me-me-me approach. I need to be loved too.
Two months ago I was dead set on picking up an Apple iPhone this summer when the new one rolled out. Heck, it is a big part of why I still tortured myself with the stupid Storm phone for so long, just trying to delay the demise. However after spending a couple months doing some hard nosed research I realized the Incredible was the answer, not the aforementioned iPhone. The Android system is alive and kicking. The possibilities are endless. While there were other phones worth a mention (Moto Droid & Nexus One) I simply stuck to the best Android phone out there. Sure the EVO will get plenty of attention, but I won’t mind. I know what I have is Incredible.
When the Apple machine gets rolling this summer on the new iPhone it might make me take a look, but I know what happens when that machine gets rolling and I don’t want to get sucked in, twirled around and abused for the next few years.
I am happy to jump aboard the Incredible Android train, next stop….happily ever after!

Hey guys lets get back to the topic of the Incredible... it is obvious Supraman is a cult follower of Steve Job's and would buy anything he releases... Hey Supraman Did you hear Steve is releasing the Iturd? It is available on ebay right now!! I think it is still fresh better go buy it

Go the market, download "MyBackup Pro" ($4.99) and follow the directions. I'm sure others have different opinions but this is one of the best apps out there. It saves EVERYTHING on your phone to be easily downloaded when you want it. You can even set auto backup to run whenever you want.
I was told by FedEx that all Verizon package requires a mandatory signature from an adult.

3rd that!
Mine leaves any and all packages. If I'm expecting something, I just write a note to leave it on the front porch and I sign it - maybe that part is key? They do take the note with them, so apparently that suffices.
In the form of 1/2 your retirement...are you SURE that newer model is worth it?!
I ordered my current phone from Verizon Wireless two years ago. I was at home waiting for my phone. I checked the Fed Ex tracking site to see where it was. The page said it had been delivered!! I ran around to all of my doors - no package. I checked with my neighbors - no package. I called Fed Ex to try to find the phone. Ends up a neighbor from across the street (whom I had not met yet) happened to see the Fed Ex man in town and stopped him to get a package he was expecting. The Fed Ex man told him he also had a package for me. The guy from across the street signed for it and finally brought it a few hours later.
SSSOOOOO, the whole mandatory signature thing is somewhat ambiguous!! They may need a signature, but it seems that they don't always care who signs it, or where they are at the time!

The screen looks awesome. Pumped to see that.YouTube - Droid Incredible multitouch test
incase some of you missed this, the Incredible touchscreen works perfectlythrough the multi-touch test and all! knowing it's a GREAT touchscreen with true multi touch makes me so much more excited.
-watch til the end
My old driver at my previous address would round back to my house prior to him leaving town. But he usually wont leave a package on the door step even with note since I live in a college town
