I might just do the same. Can you return the phone at a retail store if you order it online?


Official specs?

Official documented specs leaked from Verizon, was a few weeks I believe. I remember they accidentally left the test site open and we were able to see all the official release pages and documents.

And yes even if you order online, you can still go to any corporate store to return it.

Edit: actually April 14th:

Before those specs leaked, the MP of the camera, internal storage space, and processor speed were all thought to be different.
 
Now this bring back all the memories of the old Bravo/Passion/Dragon forum confusion and how it was filled with Verizon peeps that all transitioned to the DINC forum, people stalking their local stores, warehouses and the mysterious "box".

I swore I'd never spend so much time choosing a phone again and going on a forum to discuss one.......... yet, here I am! Two years later and this time I'm doing it again. Only this time, now I've had a taste of the magic that is an HTC smartphone and just want more, more, more!

I also find this very strange...

I personally don't think it's been hidden more than any other phone. Just don't think the hype is nearly as big around this phone. I think the Galaxy Nexus/rezound/razr stole a lot of the thunder and most people(who actually watch the smartphone market) have already upgraded.

There has been a decent amount of "leaks" just not many people are waiting for this phone to be released and aren't hunting and hounding the stores like people were for the original incredible. I still think its going to be an amazing phone and am definitely interested in the final specs but I've already invested my money in the GNex :)

Although I wouldn't be surprised if we are still more than a month away from its release.
 
I've seen nothing but April for release dates. But I agree that the hype around this phone won't hold a candle to the thunder we see for the phones listed above. It's unfortunate. The incredible line is an awesome line of phones and HTC has quickly become my favorite manufacturer.
I also have been spending more time watching for this phone than I have for anything else in a long time, even though I probably won't get it right away (unless I can steal my wife's upgrade I won't be due til early next year).

This.

I was thinking the same thing earlier today. Back when the DINC came out, Android wasn't nearly as popular as it is today. Pre the OG Droid, Android was a speck of marketshare really.... The Droid brought it mainstream and some of us wanting smartphones held out for something we liked better. (Remember all the ooohs and ahhhs over Sense in the beginning?) The Eris brought some people in with the fancy animations and sleak look, but some wanted the larger screen and more powerful insides. The DINC was just what a lot of people were looking for. A lot of those people that are up for upgrades already moved onto the high profile releases a few months back.
 
Unless the specs are changed from the rumors, I just don't see this phone living up to the hype. Yeah it's got the new processor, so the battery life with 4G will be better. Seems like that is the only spec that is better than the Rezound other than maybe the thickness. Based on the original Incredibles, I'm betting this phone will be pretty damn thin, but that also means it won't have a removable battery or SD card. Not that its a deal breaker, just something to think about.

I hope Verizon proves me wrong, but I also hope they reveal this thing asap. It must not be a Droid phone, because they usually have commercials for those months before they are released.
 
I'm a little envious now that the new Evo One has leaked. The design is a lil' meh, but that gorgeous screen along with the rumored battery on it sure seems like it's a force to be reckoned with.

I wonder how much longer before Verizon gets a One X variant. I figure, it took them eleven months to get an evo equivalent before, so..... maybe next march? LOL

Then again, the original DINC was sorta a mini Evo with more storage.
 
I've seen a few blogs that suggest the Incredible 4G will also have a GSM radio. Any further hints as to whether the 4G will be global ready?

Everyone is speculating an S4 in the Inc 4G, but the above specs seem to indicate a Snapdragon MSM8660 (S3). Is there anything other than speculation to contradict this and show that the Inc 4G really has an S4?
Click to expand...

This above link also has a picture of the Dinc4G as a Droid Incredible 2 if you look closely.

These two "suggest" the S4...

Then again, these are probably still "speculation", sorry, we have to wait for the official specs...
Hope not too much longer...;)

It might hit with a 1.5GHz dual core S4 with the internal LTE...

This is all I could find for now...

http://www.theunwired.net/?item=app...-htc-droid-incredible-4g-ready-for-prime-time

It's old too, so no new news about that aspect yet...
It probably will have the gsm radio and be "world capable."

I am really looking forward to it having sense 4.0...

I also respect your opinion that you think the Dinc4G will not have the 4 keys.
Click to expand...
I also don't think it likely. I would find it weird if they released with ICS and still didn't use the on screen 3-button layout. Not out of the realm of possibilities sure but not sure how i feel about it sticking with the 'old' way. The Incredible line of phones should be up on the cutting edge (imo of course)
NightxFall said:
If there's any news, it won't be from Verizon. If they announce the DInc4G while the offer is still around, more people will be discouraged from taking advantage of the HTC Rezound discount. I really find it odd though how tightly they're keeping this device under lock. We really don't know anything official. Hopefully there's no release date delay, and it comes out on April 26th like the leaked documents said.
Click to expand...
I think april 26th is the likely release date, it is a Incredible tradition (Inc 1 and Inc 2 released on that date)

I also already upgraded but am still very interested in this phone, possibly for my DW who is sporting my OG Inc :)

Well the Inc was first :p;) so it was teh Evo that was actually just a bigger Inc with less storage :p
 
Yea I'm a little under a year into my 2 year contract with Verizon with my Incredible 2.. I'll likely purchase the Inc 4G at full price. Any ideas what:
1) The full unsubsidized price will be?
2) Coming from the grandfathered, unlimited data plan for my Inc 2, can I buy the Inc4G outright, retain my unlimited data plan, and receive 4G?

1. hard to say till specs are confirmed

2. definitively
 
Ok, I take back my 4 key layout speculation.
After watching the /gear hands on videos, that's too much integration to fudge up...
I should have the 3 key layout to function with sense 4.0. :)
 
I held off with the Thunderbolt and the Rezound but if this is real and the specs are rocking good I may just have to dive in. I think my Incredible is ready for retirement. :cool:
 
NightxFall said:
Hopefully. I'm thinking this "mystery device" could actually be the DInc4G clocked at 1.5Ghz
Click to expand...


I thought that too, but once I saw the "mystery device's" name as VAE-WX I was thinking that might have been some kind of One X variant, like the new Evo. but I'm only judging that by the "E".

I can't remember which was which, but wasn't the Inc 2 VIVO and the Incredible S something else similiar? I wonder if those code names have more info in them then we think.
