***Official HTC Incredible Thread***

[norm807]

Ok.. I have been lurking and waiting to get rid of my Storm... It is sad that I check this site hourly even though I know If I just go about my day and do my job, release day will be here and I will have my new phone.

I just wanted to say Hi and thank all of the contributors for their information(leaks)

Here's to the final stretch (2 weeks.. )

 

[rmg185]

Spanish, April 19.

...Yeah, but allow 2 weeks delivery.

 

[Wolfedude88]

I'm guessing super troopers. It's "you boys like mexico"

Yep, that is what I said, it looks like we think a like.

 

[LaptopMemo]

It is getting moved to the real site. It has a temporary 404 page right now, jst don't expect it to be back up soon (or at least for another 30 minutes).

 

[trellis27]

Not digging the added Droid name...I think they should have went with

Incredible Droid by HTC

 

[android_freak]

You boys been to Mexico?

(Name it)

someone probably already beat me, but Super Troopers

Aaaahh I'm getting a "Password and Username" box now when I try that site!

 

[SecretSexyNinja]

Yes you can. When you pre-order they actually give you a gift card to use on the phone (or anything else in the store)

awesome! thanks when you preorder.. does that have to be at full price? I'm due for an upgrade and might be able to get this phone for next to nothing now!

 

[Wolfedude88]

You're right, I'm a Dumbass.

But seriously, when we only got 5 days to get down there.

No harm no foul, it was a good enough quote for people to know what you were talking about.

 

[bedolezal]

I got one...just a standard "Welcome" email...doesn't even mention the Incredible.

Same here.

 

[CrakrJaky]

I get prompted for credentials...

ya it's "fixed" now someone just got demoted!

 

[shamp]

nice a full page saying password protected and or super troopers.

 

[NightStalker]

And somewhere in a small room deep in the bowels of Verizon HQ the dreams of a young, enthusiastic system admin have been crushed as he is terminated for failing to properly secure a top secret web site......

I think this answers the age old question of "Does Verizon keep an eye/ear on what the internet community thinks and knows". It did not take them long to lock that site down.

 

[ms.chevystang]

I'm too afraid to close the stages site or refresh it, then it might seem like it was a dream!! If that little password box pops up I just might cry

 

[Asterdroid]

You boys been to Mexico?

(Name it)

Super Troopers.

P.S. It's "You boys LIKE Mexico?"

Edit: Boy was I late to that party...

 

[pedroatthebeach]

Ok, kids, put on your tinfoil hats and take a little trip with me. I don't claim to have the truth, nor do I expect you to believe me, but I think I'll make a compelling case. I'm not trying to call anybody out, just having some fun on the off chance I'm not only crazy but also RIGHT!

From the beginning, I've felt that Verizon was messing with us. By that, I mean that they were doing a masterful job of marketing this phone, letting leaks out by dribs and drabs and just plain old stringing us along. Today, I feel we got a little peek behind the curtain to see this machine in action. Consider the following three posts:





All were first posts of their respective users. All three have been members for a relatively short time. All were posted with 90 minutes of one another. All read in a pretty similar manner.

Good job, Verizon marketing machine. You got us all.

If Verizon Marketing is informing us, earlier than anyone else, then we should thank them for messing with us......

 

[NKT]

MM, I have 99.99% confidence in an April launch

 

[HTCLUVR]

ok folks we all know that the .stage site is PW protected now.

 

[kevinkevinkevin]

Hey guys, this is Kevin from over at Phandroid. Just wanted to chime in and say keep up the great work! You guys have been an invaluable resource for us over the past weeks as the Incredible nears its launch date.

Uh... the real site has been "404" for the past few days... Tks

the shnoz berries taste like shnoz berries

It doesn't really matter. Folks have already taken screenshots and posted them in this thread a few pages back.

 

[Todd M]

You boys like Mexico?

(Name it)

Super Troopers!

 

[alphadelta]

My page says something about
"The next chapter in the droid saga begins april 29th"
"Droid incredible by htc"
Is anybody else getting that and im only on page 695 so if it has already been posted after that then im sorry

I wouldn't be so sure that someone will be fired over this. Don't forgo the possibility that VZW is in a position of power and just like the government and the media, they will leak whatever they want you to see.

IMO this was on purpose and it is gone now because you've picked up the scent. More HTC/Droid Incredible blogs written, more internet buzz, more desire for new information. They're playing us all and it's working.
