Been on pins and needles for a week. Went to the store to check out the phone. found out I was one week short of my update date. been going nuts all week!
 
Set everything up for using DI as modem for laptop and then find out that, in addition to my data plan, I have to fork over another $30 month for VZ Access to do this. Verizon CS said the data plan only covers data usage on the device. Say what? That's lame!

They didn't let you upgrade early? Wow, I have been hearing rummors that they were letting people upgrade as far out as 4 months... Oh well at least you'll get yours tomorrow and then the real fun begins! make sure you read the tips on battery cycling and all that jazz it'll make your experience that much better!

Check out PDAnet on the market, one-time $25 fee for tethering or there is also a free trial... should be better than VZW's monthly fee

VZW sometimes reminds me of that quote from "Wall Street" where Michael Douglas says "Greed is good."

Where would corporate America be without greed? I can't blame them, but think about it this way, they put a phone on their network that is open sourced and can totally circumvent some of their higher-end services (i.e. tethering, visual voicemail and even regular text) with apps on the marketplace or elsewhere (PDAnet and Google voice come to mind). They just try and get the people who don't want to research or don't have the tools to find out about those kinds of things to pay up. But now that you found this lovely web-site you needn't bother with those things anymore ;)

We have 2 phones on our line. My hubby used the primary upgrade in January to get his Motorola Droid. Even begging could not get them to bend the date on the second one. So now I wait. Impatiently.

Well for what it's worth, you're phone will be better than his ;)

Yep, I stumbled in to this forum last year right after I got my first Android (Eris) and have been addicted ever since.
 
Has anyone had any luck doing file transfers over bluetooth from the Incredible to a PC (and vice versa).

I was able to transfer a file from PC to Phone, but not the other way. I tried the app Bluetooth File Transfer and it couldn't connect to my PC.

Interesting scenario...I installed PdaNet successfully on both DI and laptop. My default browser on laptop is Firefox. Firefox crashed immediately and continuously. I know Firefox is still working on an Android version of their browser so I guess this was part of the problem. Switched browser to Google Chrome and it loaded immediately. Got online using DI as modem and was able to go on different websites simultaneously which was fun. I ran videos from Youtube on DI while running other videos on the PC at the same time. The DI was faster loading than my laptop. It took me a while to figure out that I had to disable all modems on PC except for PdaNet before anything would function. What a blast! I was using a very fast wireless connection at home for this whole experiment.

Sorry if this has been covered but is there a Incredible Wave "page"? I got an invite to google wave (and have 20 invites remaining :D) and i keep seeing people say incredible wave but im not sure what this is?
 
Guys, im really starting to hate this phone, i wanted i phone i could play games and stuff on, but the optical trackpad is making it difficult i try to play SNesNoid or Replica Island and its really difficult, cuz the track pad wont follow my thumb :(
 
My DI was ordered on the 20th and I just got it last night. I love this phone! So glad I left at&t and the iPhone!
