I went to the local Verizon store today and it was NOT a good experience! The guy was clueless (or acted that way) regarding the Incredible! All he could say was that he didn't know much about it but heard that it was made by HTC, so he couldn't recommend it! :confused:

He kept talking up the Moto Droid and was even showing me stuff on his Droid. Didn't know when or if they were gonna get any Incredibles in... He kept saying he didn't know how the Inc could be much better than the Moto Droid...

Needless to say, I'm gonna swing by the BB tomorrow to see what they have to say... I'm getting an Incredible on Thursday, one way or another!

Yeah, unfortunately, as in all industries/businesses, the experience from one store to another can vary. I was lucky to get a guy that was pretty cool about it, but you are just as likely to get a jerk who either doesn't know anything or just doesn't want to be helpful for some reason. I hope you can have a better experience at BB or at a different VZW store.:)

Hey All,

I am back! Wife gave birth to a beatiful baby boy Saturday evening at 6:29pm :). Kellen Walker Foley weighed 8lbs 2oz's and was 20 1/4" long. Mom, baby and DAD are all doing wonderful! We are now at home, waiting on my Inc to make it here. Good thing I will be off work all week to greet the FedEx man when my delivery makes it here on Wednesday.

Congrats to the fam! Good on ya!
 
I have to take a test on Thursday morning so I can't go into VZW right when it opens. I want to be able to get it right at 10:00am when my test is done, so I thought I'd preorder at BB instead. If I preorder at BB, will they be able to guarantee that they'll have the Droid available for me right at 10:00, or would I be better off ordering online and then picking it up from my Fed-ex? I really don't want to run the risk of not getting the phone on Thursday, since I've waited sooo long for this. Your suggestions are appreciated! :)

Thanks! I really felt like I was getting the used car salesman experience with this guy. No offense to you car salesmen! Well, maybe so...:eek::rolleyes:

Tried to cut my fussing short (coulda written a few pages...). Tomorrow WILL be a better day! And closer to Thursday!!

OK ppl, here's the deal on the cards.. Since there are some apps that require data to be saved to the card, VZW is doin a $20 off deal on memory cards.. 16 GB becomes $50, 8 GB becomes $30, 4 GB becomes $10, and a 2 GB is free.. Looks like all cards are class 2, except for 16 GB, which is class 4. This does apply to preorders, so if you don't get one with your Inc, go into a corporate store on the 29th or later.. Promo runs through the end of May..

Hope it helps..

Congrats!
  1. Personaly I would never put the full name of somebody I cared about on the internet... TIFWIW
  2. If the last name is Foley you really should have at least made the middle name Axel... :p
  3. Your wife looks great for having just given birth...

You would have to print out the offer, and then take it there to open it just in case it's not in there. if you open it and it's there, you leave happy? If you open it and it's not there, they give you one and you leave happy? That would mean WAITING to open your phone though... FFFFFF THAT! 16GB Class 6 is on the way, I will gladly place the 2gb card on the sidewalk outside and melt it with a magnifying glass.

Eewwwwww! Ouch! It would cost me more in gas to drive to my VZW store than to just order a 2GB card online. :p

U sure about the 16Gb being Class 4?
Pic shows it as Class 2, but maybe there is info elsewhere that confirms it as C6? I'm interested if it is C4!

does anyone know that if flash 10.1 can come on an over the air update or if it is a hardware thing and since this only has flash light it can't be upgraded:confused:
Click to expand...

Flash is software and is updatable like on any other laptop or desktop. Just have to download it. You can go over to flash and sign up for Flash 10.1 Beta and they will keep you informed.

Hardware shouldn't be a problem since the hardware is supporting a small version of flash already.

I really hope you *will* melt a 2 GB Verizon card outside on the sidewalk with a magnifying glass and post the video taken with your new Incredible here. TIA!

I ordered a card with the phone, so now I'm probably going to have two useless cards when I eventually get a large capacity fast card once the dust has settled on the 32GB vs. 16 GB issue.

Maybe I could do a comparison test between a magnifying glass and sulfuric acid or something. See which works fastest. Or maybe one would work for a nano Android/*NIX booter for rooting, programming, testing, etc. Maybe I should hang onto them and use them for data backup. Damn. I was liking the whole sulfuric acid thing...

All the 16 GBs in my store are C4- just checked.. You'd think all corporation stores would have the same SKU card.. YMMV though.. And not sure what customer service would send ya if you did it through them..
 
Can anyone supply me with a link to the virtual/flash tour from Verizon? I'm trying to send it to me mum so when she gets the phone, she'll understand how to use it with this tour. Please anyone?
 
Question from the "older" lady......do I HAVE to have a gmail acct set up for my email or can I use the same email address I've used(aol) since Columbus and I got off the boat?

to the best of my knowledge you can use whatever you want, but if you want the fullest experience? I'd migrate to gmail and such. :)

Sorry, but posts from a bunch of people about what truck their INC is on and what city the FedEx truck is in currently and what time they ordered and what their confirmation number is and the specifics of their conversation with their VZW CSR telling them blah blah nothing different blah blah are indeed vinegar. This was supposed to be (and has primarily been) a place to share information about the phone, not about your phone. Now it is nothing more than a diluted status-update thread with virtually no information of any value. And what little information of value there is is buried under a mountain of crap, or should I say it's drowning in a pool of vinegar.

If you truly wanted to take the "honey" approach, you would start a separate thread for people who want to obsess over and share information about the status of their shipments. Basically saying "I don't give a damn what the purpose of this thread is, I'm going to use it how I want" is immature and selfish and the kind of thing I learned was inappropriate when I was 2. BTW, have you noticed that the primary posters - Steven 58, NKT, etc. - are gone? Gee, can you guess why? It's because people like you turned this thread into a worthless steaming pile of dung where the only information I can now get is how long it takes a phone to get from Ontario to Carlsbad.

ummm.. obviously your new around here. let me give you some advice... read back.... oh about 50 pages..... your type of "stay on topic" request/demand has been made countless times..... you could read back 100 pages and see it....


this IS the off topic incredible thread... as stated... people will talk about anything and everything...

Now for my rant... so long htc-thc... no one here will miss you!

I just confirmed my 2gb sd card and my arrival date is wed... screw all you haters and you people that are getting it earlier than me.

BWAAAAAAAAHHAHAAHHAHA
