I had mine billed to my account as well and my status says the same. I would hope that if they declined it, they'd notify me soon so I can either pay w/ CC or make plans to go into work late on the 29th so I can stop at VZW and pick it up. I always bill my phones to my account.... :confused:
Ditto here - seems like that is just their generic message on the order status page about 'awaiting approval or phone availability'.

I called VZW this morning to mention the battery problem I'm having with my current phone, and to make sure that my order wasn't being hung up in limbo land b/c of something with my account, so that it could ship out as soon as possible. I was thinking there might be a way for them to give a little kick in the pants to their system to expedite an order for a customer that might be having issues with their current phone and need a replacement right away (heyyyy, can't hurt to try, eh? ;)).

Not only did I get put on the line with a CSR who actually knows something about the Inc., but he's already pre-ordered his as well. So, obviously, I was given the standard info about no phones being released/shipped before the street date, yadda, yadda......

He was genuinely stoked to have ordered his, and he currently has the Moto Droid, he said. He's played with an Inc. that someone in his department has had to use, and said (his words) about the Inc., "...and this is probably the best phone Verizon has had in several years."

He did mention that I'll probably want to d/l Advanced Task Killer, to kill apps that aren't being used to help stretch out battery life; and in settings, eliminate gps and wifi from Google maps to save battery life (can always turn them on as needed) since, at least on his Droid, they're both turned on by default.
 
Did the people who are getting them early sign up when the pre-order info page was up on testman? Did they the re-sign-up when the other pre-order was going?

It'd be interesting to see if they all had something in common. Then when they release the Incredible 2, with a fold out 9" full HD screen, 1080p video recording, projector, and automobile buffer and polisher built in, we can look for a way to get them early :D
 
Ha Ha, yes, just call me Eve (Three Faces of Eve). I guess I overstepped my bounds by speaking for the multitude here, but I bet there are a few of us who are jealous!

I was just playing with you. :D


I can't say that I'm envious. It's still a phone to me. I do look forward to playing with it, though.

On the other hand, I haven't been following this thread for months and months, so I can't say that I've walked a mile in those people's shoes.

I guess that I'm envious of those who feel like the 29th is like a second Christmas.
 
Good news for those looking for Screen Protectors other than Zagg.

Previous emails to SGP for their Steinheil screen protectors yielded uncertainty. But today I received this:

Hello,
Thank you for contacting SGP customer service.
As soon as the HTC Droid Incredible release to the market, we will sell protection films and shield on our website.
Please keep on eye with us!

If you have any more questions, please feel free contact our customer service department again at sgpstore.com@gmail.com. Thank you.

Hello. Will you have the crystal clear screen protector for the HTC Droid Incredible soon? I was going to get a Zagg screen protector since they have them in stock but I'd rather get one of yours if available. Thanks.

I have my preorder in for this phone and im pumped, but i have a question. I have a blackberry storm now through verizon and i was wondering what is the easiest way to transfer all of my contacts from my BB to my new DI? Thanks!

I downloaded Google Sync (know that it has already been stated) but just wanted to confirm that I have a 1st Gen Storm as well and it worked great! :)
 
I know this has been hit a few times, but this is an actual e-mail I received today regarding early shipments.


Dear XXX

Thank You for contacting Verizon Wireless, we appreciate your business. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the delay in shipping your Internet Order Number 12345. Our records indicate that we received your pre-order for the HTC Incredible and your order is in our que for processing. We process each internet order in the same order as we receive them and do not give special treatment to some customers to the exclusion of others. We are unaware of any pre-ordered phones that have been shipped from our warehouses with preferential treatment. Unfortunately, the new phone is scheduled to begin shipping from our warehouses on 4/27/10, (but could be as early as 4/26/10). Our plan is to have all our pre-orders for the HTC Incredible shipped to our customers addresses by 04/29/2010.

We thank you for your patience in this matter and we sincerely appreciate your business.

If you have other questions regarding your order, please reply to this email or call 866-338-7390, Monday-Friday, 8am-9pm, or Saturday, 8am-5pm, EST.

Do you guys (and gals of course) think that after the first batch of Incredibles is sold that the second batch will have "DROID INCREDIBLE by HTC" on the packaging? I've seen this done before with other things. I.E. the first batch (before the last minute name change) has HTC Incredible, while the second batch (After the name change) has the DROID logo.
If they're going to change the box, then I hope we get one of the firsts, which don't have the Droid branding on them, just so that we all have something a bit unique.

If we could order a spare battery somewhere, and I could get it charged prior to phone arrival, so I don't have to wait an additional 5 hours to use it after I get it :D

that's going to be harder then waiting the next 7 days I think...
 
I'm wondering if the people who got their phones early are ones who used the free express shipping codes. This may have been something that was unforseen by Verizon and made it slip through the system. Any of the people who got their phones can confirm this?


Not true. I preordered just after midnight Monday morning, and used the free express shipping and my order is still pending phone availability.
 
Now that we have the Incredible, i wonder how many of us will be back here in November craking our heads and getting paranoid about a new android phone on Vzw.....

LOL! I was thinking the same. Wonder if the phone is shut off if it will fully charge in 2 hours.
