New Packaging/Box!

[Jakaro]

When someone asks you what phone you have do they ever say "Oh is that like verizon's version of the iphone?"

Thats when you karate chop them in the ear lobe and be like "Oh no you di'nt!"

Hmmmm.... I wonder if the Re-Boxing is the REAL reason they are "back ordered".... Ordered mine on 6/3 and was told it will be late July now before it arrives....

Your onto something there but keep it on the dl....

 

[EgoDogg]

Yah. But it's what's in the box that counts.

Really? Nobody???

THAT is what she said!

 

[Jakaro]

really? Nobody???

that is what she said! :d

nice!!!

All this really means is that the Incredible and the Eris now come in the same box...Oh the humanity!!

 

[indianajonze]

I refuse to call mine the "Droid Incredible" it just sounds ridiculous.

+1 couldnt agree more. vzw is really screwing up the marketing here

What's even funnier is I went into Verizon last week, saw a leather pouch in a Verizon packaged case (the white with the red lettering) that was labeled "universal" but fit the Incredible perfectly. Went in 2 days ago, the same exact pouch is now in the new Incredible gray packaging that is identical to the new box!!

As long as it works and is BRAND NEW, who cares what color the box is....Which i'm sure the thousands of people who paid for it and are forced to wait 2 months for it are saying...

I ordered mine on 5/21 and received it on 6/8 and I got the old box.... so when was the switch suppose to be in effect?

I agree. The "Droid" at the beginning just sounds dumb. And I believe it ties the Incredible too close to the Motorola Droid.

 

[sail4fun201]

It's confusing. I know Verizon is trying to unify their Android lineup by prefacing all the android phones with "Droid" but that doesn't work when there's a phone that's called just the Droid.

Plus, "HTC Droid Incredible" is too much of a mouthful. I tell people i'm getting an Incredible. A seven syllable device name is too much. HTC incredible is pushing it, mostly becuase HTC is hard to say fast without slurring all the letters together haha

Question for all you white box Incredible owners... I am a black box owner.

What is your firmware version?? My Incredible says 2.1-update 1

White box phones have 2.2-update 1

 

[Randino]

LOL I wish, says the same as the dark boxes.

 

[zetroc]

Agreed, my phone is the HTC Incredible with Google... however, at any rate.... the new name, if accepted by the masses, would be the Droid Incredible by HTC lol

Long live the HTC Incredible!

How about The Incredible Droid?

Alone, I like the white box.. but the fact that so many other of Verizon's phones come in boxes just like it makes the new box stand out more and definitely makes the consumer "feel" like they got something different than your bog-standard VZW handset.

I don't mean to bump this thread from too far back, but I just got my phone today and got it in the newly designed dark gray box. Does that necessarily mean anything like that I got an LCD screen rather than the AMOLED screen, or did they just change the packaging?

 

[nickreich]

Just changed the packaging. The packaging change occurred before the announcement of the display change iirc

 

[tluv00]

Considering my box went straight into the trash this is a waste of re-branding and packaging costs IMO.

 

[Quintessence]

Better then the 600 dollar Cup O' Noodles the EVO is packaged in
