Well that's awfully inconvenient. I use that on my phone a good amount.

My mostly stock Incredible 2 doesn't give me any choices when I click a number. I have to call it and then save the number from the call log. Annoying.
All I can say is all this BS is really just making me just want to keep my org DInc and say "F" them all until it dies and then just get another one off Ebay. How can Apple patent such a basic thing. That is like Microsoft patenting, clicking an icon closes a window. I use the feature all the time on my phone, and if I can't do it on a new HTC phone...?
Is someone getting nervous of their inferior product???? I think so... it's too bad they have more clout and can play the game of politics better than HTC.... Apple is a bunch of greedy b*tches. Hopefully this latest patent war gets solved soon so the Inc4 can be released before Verizon takes away our unlimited data, or I move to Sprint, whatever happens first LOL
What they're gonna do is have a spot in the settings for you to set a default app for any text click action on a webpage. Like dialer when you select a phone number, or Maps when you select an address, or winamp if you select to play a song sample assuming there isn't an embedded media player on the page. I kinda think this could be a good thing, as long as you're not changing your selections a lot, but all you'd have to do is change it in the settings menu.
I was gonna pass on the Inc4g, but since there won't be any other HTC phones coming out before this shared data comes into effect, and I've been sitting on an upgrade, I may as well use it on this and try it out. If I don't like it, I can always sell it or keep it for when one of the 2 lines that are still on unlimited 3g want a 4g phone. Since the only way we can keep the unlimited data is to buy at full price, I may as well get one more phone at discount pricing. Even if Verizon ends up screwing us out of unlimited, I can always sell it to pay off the ETF.

If the HTC Evo 4G LTE isn't shipped out to customers soon, I have a bad feeling we're going to wait a LONG time for this phone. Too long and Verizon might purposely delay it a bit longer for their data share plan. This sucks, for everyone who was looking forward to buying one of the new HTC phones coming out.
I don't think Apple users realize it, but Apple is not innovative at all, except perhaps with the design of the iPhone. I do admit it is nice looking, but it just doesn't feel like a phone to me. I had an iPod Touch since around the day it came out. No apps, I'm not even sure there was a music/video store, and a lot of other features were missing. Suddenly a new method called "jailbreaking" comes out that allows you to get apps on your iPod/iPhone. Cydia was still around back then, but pretty horrible to use; instead there was an app called 'Installer' that would install on your device. The community was great, and best of all, everything was FREE. Then Apple decides to come out with the App Store after they realize how popular jailbreaking is, they didn't even think the App Store would be that much of a success at first Almost every iPhone feature is taken from the jailbreaking community/other companies. All they do is combine existing ideas and features into a device that appeals to the every day customer.
Yep, I mentioned this exact same thing in a previous post.

Well I decided to give it a shot and I went on the Verizon chat thing and asked if they knew if the phone was going to be delayed at all because the HTC/Apple situation, because I needed to know if I should upgrade right now or later. I have no idea if they guy actually knew anything, but this is what he told me: "As of present time, the situations between the two companies has not taken affect, so the phones as of right now are scheduled when they are scheduled unless something happens within now and then."
I'm going to try calling later, and asking a few other people on the chat service and see if there's any discrepancies from what they say.

The customer service people have no idea about this stuff, his thoughts are as good as any of ours

I haven't seen the Inc2 on Verizon's site for a couple months, after they were offering them for free, which was after the holiday promo for the red Inc2. It almost seems like they're trying to deplete their stock of Rezounds as well (recently offering them for $50) before launching the Inc4g. While they are similar, the 4" vs 4.3" screen should each have their own potential customers. Bigger HD screen you want the Rezound, smaller screen with better performance & possibly better battery life you want the Inc4g. Considering they're not planning on offering any new large screen HTC phones (like the One X) I don't see why Verizon would want to only carry one HTC model. Last year they had the Thunderbolt and the Inc2, so they could offer both the Rezound & the Inc4g.
Ahh, ok had not looked recently and noticed it was gone. I bet Verizon has a webpage done for the 4g but we can't access it yet. I can't wait for the reviews to start, I'm so anxious to see if battery life will be good.
I almost considered going with the Razor Maxx but I recently saw a video review and they said the screen resolution was messed up and some webpages distorted the resolution with text not being as clear. I love the fact the battery lasts for days but I really prefer 4" instead of anything bigger.
To be honest, my original Inc1 still works so good I still happy with it and would only be upgrading to get the lastest sense and faster processor w/ slightly larger screen .3 (will it be that much difference lol) I'm also considering paying full price instead of being locked in for another 2 yrs. My contract is already up on my original Inc1 and I want to keep my unlimited.

I doubt it. I have an original Inc and a backup battery that I use frequently, A year ago, I was considering upgrading from the original Inc to an Inc2 but I dropped the idea because the Inc2 used different batteries (or so I was told by Verizon) which would have made my batteries useless.

It does use different batteries. You don't need a second battery for the DInc2 though because battery life is THAT much better.

Well, I gave up waiting for the Dinc4g. I just bought a Rezound off eBay for $300. If the Dinc4g comes out and its a great phone I'll sell the Rez. Otherwise I'll just sit on the upgrade until something irresistably cool hits. I can stop worrying and just enjoy the Rezound.

Now you can wait for your Rezound.

Speaking as a guy who had two Rezounds, you will not enjoy that phone. It is a piece of junk IMO.

Im dying for at least some sort of news .-.
I want to at least know if it's been delayed or have a new leaked release date. I'm going to go to the Verizon store today to check out the Nexus, and I may go ahead and buy it if I like it enough. We have no idea when customs will start letting HTC phones back into the states again, so it could possibly be delayed months and we wont know a release date til 2 days before it comes out. I'm going to see if anyone at the VZW store has any info on the phone.
Edit: I'm on my phone so I can't link the article(s), but it looks like "some" HTC phones have been allowed into the US by customs! Hopefully this includes the DInc4G!
