I saw my first Incredible commercial just last night! We have a DVR so I don't usually see any commercials at all but when my husband saw one fly by during a fast-forward, he backed it up so we could watch it. Pretty cool!
Now if my Dinc would just hurry up and get here...

I read somewhere (on one of the many Incredible Forums I've been perusing the past month) that one person left a note for FedEx on her screen when she wasn't going to be home. They left the phone between the screen door and the door while she was gone, so it worked for her. That won't work for me... I live behind a locked gate.
Well, I got mine at best buy, charging as we speak, going to refuse the one I ordered online when it comes around the 20th. Verizon actually pretty cool about it, refunded my activation fee that best buy charged me, and signed off for my refund. Ill get it as soon as they get the phone back from FedEx. They where pretty nice about it. Good experience for me.

There is no advantage to ordering at a store. The order goes into the same queue at the same warehouse to ship to you. And if I'm not mistaken, the rebate is instant. Don't forget to choose the free overnight shipping code FREEOVERNT.

yeah I ordered my online on the 26th and I did get the Instant 100 off and free overnight shipping, but I`m waiting for it, I would like too got to Best Buy and get one but when I already have 211.99 tied up and then got spend another 211.99 or more at best buy I will just wait and save me the hassle of refusing the one that comes from VZ and then waiting for the refund, I`ll wait for it from VZ
I also would have waited also, but my wife who works for the military is on call for a move anytime, so it was this or I cancel my order completely. I was an 5/23 order. But admit now the work of learning a new phone going to be fun, I hope.
I actually used DEALPRO and got 10% off ($20), I think it said free overnight for shipping as well, I'll double check that though.
People who got shipping confirmations on Friday were getting delivery notices for the 2nd, so I don't think i'll be getting getting a phone Tuesday or Wednesday. I also didn't lose any money in the deal. The phones were the same price through Verizon and BB and I'm a second line so don't qualify for a NE2.

I used DEALPRO also. Wouldn't let me use that and the free overnight shipping. I chose money savings over a day later.

bought mine over the phone on 5/15, charged to my account....have called every couple of days and they still say June 4th....
no confirmation email of of yet....so apparently the fact that I live in Idaho means I'm behind the times (as usual)
not-so-patiently waiting, but not completely freaking out yet either....strange limbo for me

This has been the longest 3 weeks of my life! And I'm only a week in! I ordered mine on May 19, Estimated shipment June 12th, I can't take much more of this! In the mean time, I've been looking around for apps I can download and have ready for when my phone arrives. Already Have Swipe, Are there any other good apps I should get that I can get before my phone arrives?

The 12th? I ordered mine from Verizon and had it charged to my account and they told me June 8th ship by date. I would be looking for it sooner then that.
I was at Wal-Mart got excited with an e-mail for shipment on by Blackberry. Got home and check order numbers, it's just my case "High Gloss Silicone Protective Cover - Black" that was backordered when I submitted the order for the phone. Ordered 5/15. Hoping for tracking info on phone this week.

well that's frustrating then...most of the 5/15 people got their confirmation on Friday, and now there's a 5/17 confirmation before mine....I seriously hope this isn't a bad sign....talked to a CSR yesterday and asked specifically if my order date showed as the 15th, which it did....also asked if my account was marked as sending me an email, which it is....
all there is to do is wait....can't really get all that upset, since every time I've called they've stuck to the 6/4 official ship date...somehow I don't think they're going to honor anything based on "some people on a forum online got their's early, why can't I?"

I live in NYC and placed my order on 5/17 and just got my shipping notification today. I'm guessing it will be here tuesday or wednesday.

That sucks. This will be my third phone coming. The original new one they sent was defective, then they sent me a refurb that had someone else info on it and had a busted speaker. So, yeah, don't bother with refurbs. I'm going to keep returning it until I get a good NEW one. It seems HTC & Verizon have a great design but poor quality control.

I'm in the same boat. Ordered in store on 05-16 and at the time was told a ship date of 06-01. Now, store reps are claiming 06-03 or 06-04. Had I known the in-store rebate was not instant, I would have ordered online.
I live in Huntsville, AL.....
no email yet and i ordered it on the same day (at 9:00am, but i dont think that makes a difference) =(
maybe my email will come this afternoon? It's been a long time since i've been this excited over a phone. I think all these forums have really hyped it up for me.
