sissy whiners la la la...unbelievable that the phone is being released in 4 days and everyone in here crying like 5 year olds. Save your comments until you get your DI, then post something noteworthy about how much you do or don't like it. This thread has gone to crap!

Dude, cyber gossip is all this thread has been about... I remember not too long ago that people had the same opinion about the content of your posts... I just do not see how anyone can complain about the content of this thread anymore. It was given a free-for-all fun run status long ago with the only real stipulation that we be nice to each other... I think that the general opinion is that if you do not find it useful, then move on to the next one. We are simply seeing the darwinian evolution of this thread to extinction. Whay is that so hard to believe..?

Let me guess - you came out of lurking to get the User's guide. A worthy contributer you have been with your 39 posts.

Later....

Sad... never thought I'd see this thread deteriorate into one glorified cyber "gossip fence" over "who is getting their phone on what day?" and "why is my order information different from yours?" and so on and so on... not to mention the endless posts of people's cut-and-paste order info from their emails! Come ON, people, if you have questions pertaining to your order, take it up with Verizon - it's absolutely pointless to whine and bitch about it here. :(

Maybe we should go back to talking about the mystery box? :)

You're right though... I think this thread has worn out its welcome. Time to put it to bed...

ugh ... I hope you didnt just send all the meanies running in to our quiet on topic thread! ;)

Exactly, keeping this chatter in here for a few more days will keep the rest of the root forum clear.... Once these phones are in-hand, everyone will be warm and fuzzy and on-topic for tangible reasons...

Closing this one now would not be beneficial to the community as a whole...
 
Does anyone have a link of someone testing the browser?

I want to see this in action. Going to websites, multi-touch, double tap, flash, etc,

Wow..... I thanked you for your contributions man, go back and look for yourself. But useful info was pulled out of here and placed in the relevent theads. I got the user manual from the evergreen thread... I was not trying to be an ass.. Just trying to keep an objective sense of the state of things.

I got my incredible at my door on Wednesday (21st) and activated on Friday. This is my first droid device, switching from a BB. So far, so good. It will take a little time to get used to it though..

I have 5 phones coming (only 2 of which are Incredibles) and this is new service for me after I ditched T-Mobile. How easy/fast is activation? Can it be done online or is it by voice only?

Thanks for any replies.
 
I think my Dare knew it was about to be replaced and decided to commit suicide last night.

Thankfully, my order switched to processed this morning. Could have been 4 very long days...

Curious if anyone has tracked the low and high numbers in each 327 and 500+ sequence to guesstimate how many orders there were online just based on this site?
Click to expand...


Its based on the middle 3 numbers. first 3 show either where you are or where it will ship from. middle of the nite they were up to 400, processing about 1500-2000 per hour

Hope this helps.

Ok so you don't know me so please don't resort to calling me frantic & clueless. Also please don't refer to the people whose orders were lost as frantic or clueless either! They didn't know there was a problem until they checked. Today was the 1st time that I called looking for info.

I think Verizon did a poor job of handling this pre-order business on the DI... I've been with them since the beginning around 10 years ago in my area, back when my cell company was Bell Atlantic Mobile and Verizon bought them out.

This is the first pre-order instance that I can remember Verizon doing, although I think they should just call it the "pre-fail" because so many things have seemed off with all the misinformation, not knowing and such. At least it looks like a large part of the orders are going to go through a few days earlier, though! :cool:

dylo22 said:
Pre-fail really? It's not even the 29th yet, how can you call it a fail? Sure, some people got theirs early, but that's just a mistake. Unless the pre-orders get shipped out late and we don't receive the phone until after the 29th, I wouldn't call it a fail

I think what he was talking about was the same thing I mentioned earlier. They didn't explain that a few days after you pre-order your status goes back to being eligible for an upgrade because the phone that was ordered wasn't activated. They was a lot of confusion about the 8gb memory (onboard or in a microsd card), wifi 802.11n being available, ect. The first problem in my opinion was having the preorder start on a night when they do work on the site (took me a half hour to find that they do site maintenance on Sunday night from 12-6am). They knew they were going to do this release for awhile but the outcome made it seem like it was put together in a couple weeks. Most of the CSRs didn't know about the phone for a few days even after it was announced on the site. Either no one reads the internal memos or Verizon didn't do a very good job of informing their employees how it was going to work. If they had, no one should have gotten their phones this week because they wouldn't have been able to order them over the phone. Stuff like this worries me what phone delivery will be like.

Ok, fair enough. I thought he was referring to the pre-order itself. I did mine online and received my confirmation email from verizon right after i finished with my order. As far as I'm concerned, every thing is set to go.
There's no need for me worry about the order until after the 29th.

Yeah, I read about the status reverting back to eligible for upgrade. It happened to me too. I think a lot of us are really anxious and are looking into things too deeply. In my opinion, as long as you have the confirmation email with the order number, it's done - your order is in. There's no need to freak out about some status. At least not until after the 29th.

I don't think Verizon expected so many people with pre-orders to be lurking around on their website, hammering the crap out of their 'Check Your Status' page or calling 9 times each to inquire about their phone order. :D lol And they haven't advertised the Incredible, I think Verizon has seen the power of Phandroid for spreading the Android love.:)

Let me take your baby little hand, so you don't actually need to look for yourself, OK?

There a double secret evergreen thread on this very AndroidForums/HTC Incredible forum. It lists and links to every review & video that has been found. It took someone lots of time and effort to create that list and keep it updated. The list is https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AUwASH__frQlZGRyejVzejJfMjNocTZ3djI0eg&hl=en
You will need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list for the reviews category, but I'm sure you can get someone to do that for you, OK sweetie?

Sorry, bud. I was out of line there. Just a bit irritable over the constant stream of posts that all say the same thing over and over and over again. No offense.

I've looked and searched.

I want a video with an in-depth review of the browser only. Testing all buttons and all functions.

I have not found one....yet.

Thanks for the link, though.

Yes, it's called Viral Marketing... :rolleyes:
 
can someone please PM me if they have a google voice invite...ive been trying to get one for months now, and its getting kinda ridiculous that i still havent got one
 
Ok, here's the real deal. I don't have ANY seniority here and I know that. But I don't care. The bottom line is this. If you are tired of where this thread is going, you can do one of three things:

A. Don't look at this thread anymore.
B. Skim past the nonsense the best you can if you do look at this thread.
C. Just browse the subject specific threads.

I mean that's really the bottom line from how I see it. No need to get into pissing matches and start wars on here. Anyone agree?
 
me and my mom just ordered the incredible. she got a pack of 3 screen protectors and i got a zagg invisible shield. the reviews for that SUCK but i want something to cover the entire front of the phone. is it that bad (will it make screen look crappy, feels bad, looks bad, residue when removed), or should i just use one of those standard static cling ones from vzw website?

I don't have any invites yet since I just joined GV a few days ago, but if all else fails I heard eBay is selling them for pretty cheap.

Absolutely man.. I get ya... This thread was always too fast for me to keep up with and extract useful info.. why? because it was full of gossup and chatter. (With the yummy bits sandwiched inbetween) Now that everything has been exposed, we are left with nothing but the gossup and chatter.. I see it as better here than elsewhere... I do not think it degrades the overall quality or epic history of the thread... which will soon be laid to rest..
