On display although unceremoniously. Store rep said lot of people are waiting to see the S3 before deciding. I liked what I saw of it. Size is great, lighter than expected (not sure if good thing), camera seemed much sharper indoors than orig inc, still to me the best oe keyboard. I'll probably go for it by weekend.

Everybody seemed to be doing something like that with the SG3... I never even thought about doing it with the Rezound... Good Call! glad it worked out for you. I should have done that... O Well

We waited and waited for the DINC4G. I had the $100 offer in hand and had to take advantage of it. She was coming from a DINC2 and likes Sense (as do I). She wasn't too pleased with the size of the Rezound (that is why were waiting for the DINC4G - same size as DINC2). Once we got the the store she literally spend a good 30 minutes with live display DINC4G in one hand, her Rezound in the other, trying to decide.
I'm happy that I ended up with the Rezound for $99 in March. It has more memory for apps than the DINC4G and it was the low memory error on the original DINC was what kept me from waiting to upgrade in the first place.
The only time the size bothers me is when I put it in my running belt and that's only because the OG DInc felt non-existent in it! The belt is still stable with the Rezound, I can just tell it's there.
I probably would've favored the DINC4G if it were available 4 months ago. Can't go wrong with either one though!

Oh you can go very, very wrong with the Rezound. I did. Twice. Would not recommend that phone to someone I hate and I'm an HTC fanboy.
Really? What went so wrong for you? The Rezound has been an equal or improved experience for me in virtually every way vs. my original DInc (which I loved before the low memory issues.)

The Incredible 4G has ICS and Sense 4.0

If you're comparing it to the DInc (which I also used for a long time) it was a significant improvement. The phone really is a great phone. Nice screen. Nice performance. Extremely crappy battery life. That was my issue. The phone was dead by noon just about every day I had it. I hated being tethered to a charger all the time. This was coming from my Inc2 though which has amazing battery life. I can get 12-15 hours + with no problems at all. The same use on my Rezound lasted until noon. My Inc2 can last the entire weekend on a charge with light use. It'll be at 30-40% on Sunday night.

Yup, friend of mine has the Rezound and his was dead by noon as well. He now has the extended battery and now he might as well be carrying this:

That may actually be thinner than the Rezound with the extended battery.
I've had the phone a full day and am really pleased with it so far. As in an earlier comment, this phone is getting really poor marketing, and getting beat up really badly due to its comparisons with the One series and being overshadowed from the hype of the Galaxy S3.
So far I'm really enjoying Sense 4.0, and I've gotten over 20Mbps on the 4G connection. The size is perfect for me in my opinion, as I'm coming for the original Dinc. I haven't had any problems with the battery so far, but time will tell. I really only use my smartphone for Facebook/texting/on-board music/ESPN and the occasional youtube video.
Hopefully the phone sells well, and perhaps your average customer might shy away from a 5 inch screen phone.

0.o I saw a white Dinc4G on youtube, except its top was more like the original Dinc. It could have been a chinese knockoff though but I dont think so.

What phone were you using before and what kind of battery life did you get?
I normally got a full day on my original Dinc, with gps and wifi off, typical day is spending a half hour to an hour on ESPN during lunch, sending and receiving a few dozen texts, and facebooking for an hour or so a day. The dinc 4g is keeping up the same way so far despite the 4g lte connection.

My only gripe about my DInc was my battery life. It was dead around lunch time too with my usuage and I just got used to being tied to a charger all the time if I was going to use it the way I wanted to use it. Then I switched to the DInc2 and found that I didn't have to do that any more. I take it off the charger in the morning and put it on the charger when I go to bed and it stays a live in the meantime. That's all I really want. Unless I start seeing some reviews saying this has absolutely horrible battery life, I'll probably pick it up at some point in the next few months.

I have the OG DINC, I can easily get 2 days between charges. I just bought another Seidio 1750, the first one started to go after about a year and a half. Even on the stock battery I was getting close to 2 days. I have wifi at home and at my office so it helps.

No clue how you get anything close to that unless you are doing something silly like turning background data off.

I once got 36 hours on my Incredible 2 by not using it. Background data on with a few apps checking in every 15 minutes.

Anyone know if/when this phone will come to verizon?

Must say I agree. Even the Rezound seemed to slip through the cracks. VZW seemed to not even care to sell it. Its all about the Razr, or the Nexus, or the SG3.... Did someone at HTC sleep with VZW CEO daughter? :vroam:
Don't laugh, my first phone was an updated version of that same one (mine had a thinner flip and TWO memory dial buttons). One of my coworkers had that exact one in the pic, I used to give him crap cuz he didn't have the memory dial buttons.
Another coworker had one like it without the flip, & my boss was using the classic brick, you know the one that Zack Morris had on Saved By the Bell? He really like it because he had an antenna screwed into the roof of the service van, with a cable & connector inside. So all he had to do was unscrew the rubber duck antenna from the brick & screw the external antenna to it for better signal. His phone was already transmitting at 3 watts (most today are at .25 watts).
We've come quite a way haven't we?
