Well i can also say that i tried a couple pages loading next to my iphone and i cant say the iphone was any faster from my experience.....

I've had an iPod touch 1G and now a 3G...

I've ALWAYS wanted an iPhone on VZW. But now?

Give me the INCREDIBLE!!

I just love the widgets and I think HTC has really knocked it out of the park!!

There's a reason Apple is suing HTC
 
Everyone go vote for our baby!

Dont let the iPhone 4G rediculousness get away with murder!

VOTE!​


what he said.......



... the only time I've ruined one is when I dropped a vx8700 in a margarita on Cinco de Mayo.


Had the same phone...sexy little thing, but had enough battery charge for like 2 phone calls:) I dropped mine in the toilet :eek: ... had it in my back pocket.


Amen Brutha!! If the wife ain't happy - NOBODY IS HAPPY



Ask yourself: "Do you want to be right? or...

...you want to be happy?" :D
 
OK, i know i've said it before, and i'll say it again, this time with even more "proof"...Wireless N is absolutely, 100% on the Incredible. All Verizon associates and Subject Matter Experts being trained by HTC are being trained with the Incredible having Wireless N...i sincerely hope this issue is now buried as well. Now who wants some video?:cool:

For those who like the phrase:

Wireless N on Droid Incredible???...CONFLIPPIN'FIRMED

Didn't NKT say there WOULDN'T be N?
 
You know... I think the iPhone has the little dots too.... -_-
So, the moral of the story is...woopey do da.

i don't think so... not that i can see anyway.

during that video, the dots are really visible before the nba clip, but when it's a regular black background, i didn't even notice them.

can't wait to get my hands on this phone.
 
so I just came back from a verizon wireless store and they said the incredibles are due to be released tomorrow. Anyone else hear this or is hill full of sh%t

I was in a store today and not only do they not know when it's coming out, they also "don't know when we're getting a demo in" :rolleyes:

It's sad we know more than them and they lie and we know it.
 
Ok, I have been reading some thing about batteries here, and I want to merely state a few facts.

-Trickle charging is not what you people are referring to. If I have a batter made to accept a charge at 10 volts, trickle charging is putting a 2 (or any number less than 10) on it, and getting a smaller current flow. Lithium batteries CAN NOT do this. It ruins the batteries. The ones in your phone will accept a charging voltage at about 5V (USB spec). When you say trickle charge, you mean charge at less than 1 ampere (USB spec is 500mA). There is never any reason for you to charge your battery at anything other than 5V +/- 5% or so. All chargers and USB ports do this. Although in an emergency you can use something else (I have seen a 9V used in emergency b/c current flow is a more important thing no to exceed), it is not advisable nor logical to do that for everyday charging.

-Batteries live longer with a slower charge and moderate discharge rate. Although 1A may be within the appropriate tolerances of your battery (it is what your chargers are set as their max), a 500mA charge if you have the time may be healthier in the long run. Note these are all maximum currents. Depending on the resistance of your charing circuitry and battery, you may be getting less current. The circuit just trips at the max. The voltage is the invariable specification on chargers (except exotic ones that you will probably never use to charge a phone).

-When charging, your battery goes up to out 4.20V per cell. It almost guearenteed has a built in circuit to stop charging at 4.30 V/cell, as that is the border of unsafe. The time you spend at 4.20V/cell should be minimized.

-Lithium ion batteries require no break in or anything of that sort. The first charge is as effective as the 30th, and that is it. That being said, a complete charge and discharge will calibrate the digital charge estimator, and your battery does auto shutoff when the charge is too low (it prevents itself from dropping to "OMG my batter no longer holds a charge after that last discharge" level), so make your own call. Perhaps no more than once a month? I usually do it if I notice the battery indicator is too off, as it getting 3 hours off a charge after it says 10% remaining. I also do it when I first get the battery...I play with it, full charge, full discharge, full charge, possibly another full discharge if it happens (if not, it is probably still calibrated), and that is it.

-Lastly, a point on how a battery charges. It goes up to about 70% charge, and then tops off as the current drops down to about 10% of the initial current. Fast chargers only go up to 70%. The last part, the topping current, takes about 2x the time the first part does.

Hope that clears something up,
Nkk

extremely informative, thankyou :)
 
yeah, i didn't get an email either. i ordered mine last night, around 10 p.m., pacific time, just because i was checking the site and saw the pre-order form go live.

my wife is waiting.... still holding out for an iphone on verizon, so i only ordered one incredible.


Ever thought about getting a new wife?

Kidding, kidding! I tried to convince my wife that her ENV touch would be easily replaced by anything Android. I can't wait for the DI to get her to convince her.

yea i just ordered one for my wife, she didn't really have a choice. if i'm gonna pay $30 a month for her phone she might as well be able to use it to its full potential. that blackberry 8330 just wasn't doin it.
 
For anyone that wants to know how visable the dots on the screen are go to 1:06 in the video

YouTube - Verizon Incredible is Just That

Oh HEAVENS NOOOO! That's it. I'm cancelling my order for the Incredible, holding out for the nuclear powered iPhone 4GSX, and writing love letters to Steve Jobs until he shows up at my door with a silly grin on his face, and a fresh tube of KY in his hand.
 
Ok, have not received my phone yet but did not expect it until next Thursday but ordered the black silicone soft case for the back of the phone and the screen protectors from Verizon. The silicone case has octagon impressions which will go up against the back of the phone and it is nicely made but a bit stiff, not as soft as I would like for the phone. The screen protectors from Verizon only cover the screen, not the entire front so i will be looking elsewhere for those, perhaps Zagg.
 
Just thought I would say hello, and where else better than on this post. Just called VZW and pretty much begged them to allow me to upgrade now. They said yes, and I put my order in about 5 minutes after that. Never had a Droid, or a smartphone, but looking forward to it. Kinda wanted to see if the iPhone would come to VZW, but I won't hold my breath. Plus I already have a iPod Touch 32 gig.


CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!

Welcome to Verizon stores! :p

Seriously, in carrier studies, Verizon stores are always criticized for their staff. Studies always find staff members to be rather impersonal and not as knowledgeable about their products as one would expect.

Phone customer service on the other hand gets a lot higher ratings. Studies always finds calling Verizon to be a much more enjoyable experience and again I agree with that. The people in the call centers always seem a lot more friendly and willing to help you out.

I went to my local corp verizon store and they told me they got their shipment of the DI in today but they would not sell me one. I left with an
"I'll be back" :D

Are the screen protectors clear or grey? When I went to order the item description stated that they were privacy screen protectors and they appear grey in the pics online.

Any chance of pictures, I keep looking at this same case but I keep talking myself out of it. How "Glossy" is it?
