Yes. It's as relevant as any of the previous announcements we've seen thus far.

I'm sorry but this is incorrect. Sims are not locked to any particular device.
For what it's worth (not much), I talked separately this week to a store sales person and the Verizon rep for my employer. Both looked up the DINC 4g in the Verizon system and both reported its status as "In Testing" with no release date given.
Does Verizon usually report a phone as "In Testing" until the moment it's released? If not, it does sound like some unanticipated problem - i.e. keeping the phone "in testing" at the same time that they are shipping advertising material.

No phone on Big Reds website today. So I think it is pretty safe to say you will not see this phone on the 21st... I did see they have certified pre-owed Org Inc back up on the site though. My guess is you will not see this phone now till after the 28th, when the shared plans go into place and they can get people off unlimited data. I said this from the get go and I don't think it is anything except intentional on Verizon's part.

Of course it's intentional. People who want to upgrade are going to pay a lot more to Verizon no matter what - whether you buy it for full retail price or upgrade yourself out of a crappy 2GB internet plan. Notice their 4 GB promotion is just quietly/suddenly gone at this time when we all need it most!

Yeah, on retrospect I should have moved to the double data tier when I had the chance. Still get upgrades and get plenty of data.

Then why offer the GS3 for pre-order? I disagree with your supposition.

Well, you have to understand that people in this thread are Incredible 4g-centric and, I found, not always rational.

Perhaps one last phone before the plans roll out. If I'm wrong about Verizon not doing this on purpose then would see a pre-order or some kind of promotion to our benefit. After all, this phone was announced in early MAY... If VZW wanted to, they would have given us the opportunity to buy it before the new plans roll out 2 months later.

Most carriers have a one series phone as well. Att with the one x, sprint with the evo 4g, tmo with the one s. But yea, you are right, verizon doesn't have a clue to what is going on.I think Big Red are doing the S3 now because all the other carriers here in the US are doing the same. However they have more flexibility with the Inc 4g.
Either that or they don't have the first bloody clue as to what the hell they're doing....
I bet had you asked, the date the system.was updated to in testing was May 10. My guess is that the phone will release once testing is complete, which often takes 4-8 weeks. That makes it likely this is not Verizon trying to mess with data plans with this phone but not releasing until it passes testing hence why no pre-order.
No other reason to pre order sg3 and not Inc 4g

well i bit the bullet and ordered the S3 
the lady i spoke with said that if the inc4g came out before the the 12th i can cancel the s3 and get the inc4g and still keep my unlimited. also can keep unlimited if i return within the 14 day return period and she sent me an email stating this.. she also said she would reimburse the restocking fee, stated in the email also. so i covered my bases there.
hopefully the email will be enough proof.
now the waiting game continues.

Well, gave up on DINC 4G and pulled the trigger on the Rezound. Can't beat $29.99 after $50 upgrade credit. The only downside is the battery, but i can buy the larger battery and be ahead of the game.

I am very tempted to go this route. The only thing holding me back is I want my next phone purchase to have Sense 4.0 on it.
