Question: who in this thread is paying retail for the Incredible?
Another question: If you aren't paying retail for it, would you if you weren't upgrade-eligible?
Out of all of my 5 lines, none of them are eligible for promo pricing until next year. $600 makes me a little sad, especially considering I'll be lucky to get 1/3 of that for my Eris on Craigslist or eBay.
I will most likely be paying full retail. I have a family member considering to switch to verizon but want a full keyboard so I might have him get me the Incredible and give him my Touch Pro 2.
sounds good

its being branded by VZW so it will come with VZW bloatware. only way to get rid of them is to root the phone. and it has not been rooted yet. when will we be able to root? when the dev community finds a weakness in the OS that will give them super user permissions. then they will cook up a rom and get rid of all the bloatware. how long does it take to root? i dont know. the eris still has not been rooted sucessfully. the only way they achieved root on the eris was because some disgruntled HTC employee sent them a rom with root already on there. hope this helps
What bloatware has come on the other VZW Android phones?

The only thing I'm bummed about is that I don't have this phone in my hands yet.
Other than that, I'm pretty stoked.

My advice to you is to go into a corporate store and talk to a high level manager. Don

Ok, posting this fast before the site goes down again...
I called my local store as well, and they said they are doing the pre-sale. This is a regular Best Buy store, and I talked to a guy in the mobile area that seemed pretty knowledgeable. He said the following:
The phone area in a regular Best Buy does all the same stuff as a Best Buy Mobile store. The only difference is Best Buy Mobile is a standalone mobile-only place. The phone area in regular Best Buy is basically a store within a store.
They will be doing the pre-sale on the 18th. He actually volunteered this information before I could ask.
I can use upgrade on different line to put INC on my line (alternate upgrade). I can also use the NE2 discount from the other line.
Doing the alternate upgrade and using my NE2 will not cause any problems with doing the pre-order.

Alright folks, while today has been incredible it's also been incredibly frustrating with the forum maintenance and down time. To continue the dialog until these issues are permanently resolved and to ease the load on the servers lets take the chat to real time and see how it works out...

I had called Vz earlier today due to my ne2 nor any other discounts showing on my Vz profile. I'm month2month atm and when trying to upgrade phones it will only give me m2m pricing (full retail price no discounts) for ordering onlinie. Will not even give me a new 2 year contract price. Guy I talked to stated he could get me in for an "early upgrade" @ the new 2 contact price (no discount for ne2 though
) but they wouldn't be able to make it show online. He even denied today knowing anything about the incredible, this even after the official release on Vz website.
Reason I bring this up is that pre-order shows it will be online only. Which means I'm SoL for pre-order as I cannot (nor want to) pay full retail of $600+. Which means I'll have to wait till release day and hope to get one in-store (probably a best buy for the instant discount).
He did try to smooth? it over by stating "we haven't sold out of a phone on release day in years so don't worry you'll be able to walk in and get one"
