Well, it's not letting me edit my previous post (again lol). But i have some speculation. HTC didn't say exactly which phones came through, this could possibly be because one of them was the Dinc4G and a release date hasn't been announced for it yet. I really want to know why only "some" came through though. It's a good sign regardless!
 
I don't think the Incredible was one of the phones that were stuck in customs, and if they were then I think you are looking more like a July release.

I don't see why it wouldn't be stuck in customs considering all the other new HTC phones were. And if customs lets it through in the next week or few weeks, why would it be released in July? Mid june at latest I'd think.
 
Im at the VZW store and I find that i really like the Lucid's display and the Nexus's display. The Rezound's display is just too dull and colors aren't bright enough. The lucid is just LCD so shouldn't SLCD be an improvement over that? I really hope the Incredible's is better than the Rezounds, or I'll be picking up a Nexus or a Lucid. There's an extremely noticeable difference in color quality between the two, I wouldnt say the Rezounds was more accurate but instead a lot duller.

And they told me the Dinc4G should be coming very soon. But thats it. Also they don't know when it's coming in til 24 hours before hand.

I owned the Lucid for a couple of weeks before returning it because of an unresponsive touchscreen and battery issues. Otherwise I liked that phone. Coming from an LG Ally, you may love it. Coming from an original Incredible, I didn't want to own it for two years. The Dinc 4G and it's S4 processor should blow the Lucid away.

.01 at Amazon is the way to go for the Lucid. ;)

I'll probably end up getting the Nexus and not a Lucid. Anything is better than an Ally though lol. Anyways, all the people who held and saw the Dinc4G said the screen was on par with the One X's, so I'm hoping "super LCD" was just a generalization and they actually meant SLCD2 or IPS LCD. SLCD's viewing angles are just terrible and when watching movies/gaming the colors just aren't vibrant enough. The screen is just too dim, perhaps maybe the problem lies more that screen just isn't bright enough(I had the screen on maximum brightness). I'm REALLY hoping it's SLCD2 or a much brighter screen. I had no problems with the resolution of any of the phones except the pentile screens that were not HD.


I downloaded Minecraft: Pocket Edition onto the Rezound at the VZW store. I opened up creative mode, and I was confused, because I thought it was almost night time because the sky was getting dark already. Creative mode doesn't even have day/night (I'm pretty sure) and the game looked 10x better on the Nexus with its clear and vibrant colors. I've been following this phone for 2 months, and I will be very disappointed if I'm let down just by a screen that's unsuitable for me.

Edit: I'm going to hold judgement til I see it in person. I'm probably worrying over nothing, as reviewers have said the screen is great and sounds like an SLCD2, or at least it's improved over previous SLCD screens.
Now my next worry is the bezel which may completely defeat the purpose of having a smaller screen. FIHDJIQOFUH JUST RELEASE THE PHONE ALREADY lol
 
I know what you are saying about the screen on the Rezound. My wife has one and I prefer the lcd screen on my Dinc to it, due to the dimness and lack of comparable vibrant colors on the Rezound. I enjoyed the screen on the Lucid which was which was bright and looked great out of doors. The colors were a little washed out though and of course it wasn't HD. The best screen in the store is on the LG Spectrum though, but no more LGs for a while for me.

It's fine with me that the screen on the Inc 4G won't be a flagship screen. The Qualcomm S4 chip will make up for it (hopefully). No more heat issues or a need to be hooked up to a charger everywhere I go.
 
I went to Verizon yesterday and asked ....and so I thought I'd pass on what the salesperson said..... " beginning of quarter 3 ", so that means July..

IDK what to believe now....
 
QTR 3? OMG that is not coming soon, that's more like "in the near future" :rolleyes:

If you look at the videos on youtube from the people attending the CTIA, most said in the next few weeks. It's already been a week since then.
 
Again, the in store reps have no information on this phone and neither does customer service. Everyone will just need to wait until something actually leaks?

My Verizon store had no idea, so I have no idea why would yours. They definitely wouldn't know this much ahead of time. All VZW said was in the coming weeks, so if it's not out by June 7, then we can start worrying.


I've come to the conclusion that any Verizon rep that claims he/she knows when the phone is coming out, without a source or saying they recieved information directly from corporate, probably read the info online and presumed it to be true.

It's just the screen is too dim and colors are not vibrant at all. I'm not worried as much about the screen on the Droid Incredible 4G anymore because it looks a lot brighter and the colors look vibrant. Just looking at videos of the Rezound on youtube, the colors look washed out. I always presumed this was video quality but looking at the phone in store, the colors are actually washed out.

At the very least, this phone better have a much brighter screen. I'm worrying about it again because I can't tell how good the screen is just from the videos lol.
 
I spoke to a Verizon Account Executive and she told me, "anytime now" as far as the release date. She has access to a lot more information than a store rep and works with several sources, so I hope her information is somewhat accurate. Obviously we'll never know for sure until a release date is actually announced.

I'm not sure how you calculate accuracy with a date like "anytime now". That could be 3+ years from now or in the next few minutes.

I will miss the HD part. Sports, especially basketball are clearly better on a HD screen.

For more "casual" viewing though, I liked the screen on the original Inc and Lucid better. They both passed the eyeball happiness test.

The Rezound was the worst of the three outside. The Lucid was amazing, while my Inc was at least usable.

Overall I expect the Inc 4G to have a better screen than the Rezound for me.

Yes, I can definitely tell you I was hoping for something a bit less approximate from her, but I took what I was able to get. :o

I've never known anyone to think anytime now meant 3 years away though. :p

Did you actually read the article? lol. It doesn't contain anything that wasn't already stated before. Infact it incorrectly states an expected release date of May 23rd based on a non existant Best Buy email. They probably were thinking of the HTC Evo 4G LTE email.

I like the picture of the OG Inc though :D
