Did you order it like everyone else or do you get it early for a special reason.
 
For the FedEx shipping option that verizon uses, it's the indirect signature that is required. And under the FedEx site, it says "
FedEx will obtain a signature in one of three ways:

  • From any person at the delivery address; or
  • From a neighbor, building manager or other person at a neighboring address; or
  • The recipient can sign a FedEx door tag authorizing release of the package without anyone present.
"
I remember the first time i ordered my phone online, the LG vx9800, i couldn't wait to get it but i had to go to school and both my parents had to go to work. So i googled it and found a release form on the fedex site. I'm too lazy to look for it now since now a note works for me. But needless to say, ever since then, if it was a indirect signature that was required, i just left a note and never signed for it in person with the driver.

hurry and call her back!! Cause i'm pretty sure they got the addressee wrong. That's my Inc, they just accidentally sent it to you. if you can please send it to the rightful owner when it gets to your doorstep, I would appreciate it. ;);)



lol. i kid, i kid. I can't wait to hear from you and hear what your thoughts of this INCREDIBLE phone are.

I'm only going to say this once before getting involved in a way that will make a number of people unhappy. I'm not big on making distinctions between those that start something and those who continue to perpetuate it...as they say folks, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Everyone's opinion is valued and everyone's perspective is welcomed. Having said that, as Phases stated (check Admin post), don't come here and purposely piss people off...it's just unnecessary.

I'm asking that whatever has already been said on this most recent issue to be the last of the public arguments over it. If you have further issues or want to discuss something do so over PM without ruining it for everyone else.

Fair warning...if i have to get involved again it won't be a single person feeling it.

(reminder: you have a "report" button...use it, AND ONLY IT! Don't reply back, don't fan the flames further, simply report)

No sweat. By the way, congrats on the promotion!:)
 
Ok here is the FedEx Page, I've edited out some info

Incredible.jpg
 
so here's my pre-order story. I won't be home to sign for the phone on the 29th and my vehicle is essentially my office, so I went to the Verizon store today to see if I could pre-order in store or at least have the phone shipped to the store. No go on either option. They suggested either shipping to a neighbor, or just coming into the store on the 29th. They stated there was alot of buzz all day about the phone and they were anticipating a very busy 29th. They were unsure if they would open early or not.

I went next to Best Buy. They has a HTC Incredible pre-order folder there and answered all my questions. Yes they are accepting pre-orders for in store pick up, yes they give an instant $100 rebate, and yes they match my $100 new every 2. Bottom line $99. I Purchased my $50 gift card as others have described. I asked how many pre-orders they have taken so far... I was pre-order number 2. Now comes the best part........

He said (I never thought I was going to be one of those posters who quote "and then he said") We're expecting the phones the 24th or 25th and we will call those who pre-ordered for pick up when they are in. They are available for sale to others the 29th. By the way he did not think they would have any incredible accessories available initially on the 29th

Hope this info helps someone who is on the fence with Verizon vs. Best Buy

Just preordered my Incredible from Best Buy. They've promised to price match the $149.99 i'd be getting if i used my NE2.

For those looking to purchase insurance from Best Buy, i would take the pay up front option which will cost $170, last 2 years, and require no deductible should anything happen to your phone.

but they dont replace your phone on the spot, they send it away and your stuck with a dumb for for maybe up to a month..... at least squaretrade you get something within a couple days either a repaired phone, or the money to replace the phone.....

Interesting thing is I have not known Verizon to ship out of Memphis

We'll see tomorrow, like I said, I'm fully expecting to get a box of rocks (Another moto droid or Eris or some BS) but if/when this package comes tomorrow we'll know. I didn't order any accessories so it wouldn't be that.
 
I haven't pre-ordered yet. I have to wait and make sure I like my new job first :rolleyes: until then I feel a bit awkward buying it not knowing if i'm keeping my job lol.

I figured I should come clean and let you guys see what my current background on my LG Dare is. It has been this for the past couple of weeks. Does it mean you have problems if your current phone wallpaper is a picture of your future phone? Probably... haha

I'm surprised that they would be that lax about the "street date"

I used to work at the (now defunct) Circuit City, and we were always told that we were at risk of fines and in breech of distribution contracts if we let products out early before the mandated street dates.

Could be different for BBY. I actually wouldn't put it past BBY employees to say something like that just to get your sale, too.

Wheres the screenshot of Verizon sending you that tracking number?
 
to everyone saying they got a confirmation and the phone is coming tomorrow: here's my theory; if you ordered a screen protector or case with it that's what's being shipped since they are available now. what do you think. hope i'm wrong but think it's the most logical explanation.
 
So is this basically like Sprint's EVO 4G without the 4G? Looks like the Rom size is smaller as well?

Curious about Exchange support, I thought the droid was terrible in that area.

It would only be a problem if the Incredible had a picture of an iPhone 4g (or a Shadow maybe?) as its background.
