How much is it?

I think it was $24.99. But here's a discount code you might try: CAS15 discount code and the FREEOVERNT code. I don't know if that still works. I have my case. Doesn't look so good without the phone! Mine is arriving tomorrow. Thank goodness Memphis finally gave it up.
 
AHH i called my local fedex place and when she pulled up my package she was like ya we can hold if for you... then she asked "oh is this one of those verizon packages?" ::crap crap crap:: yes it is,, "oh we cant hold those...."

ugh....

Same reply I got.

Wow, that sucks balls.. So all the pre-order phone stock is out now? Man, glad I didn't do it and already have my reserved at my local store to avoid debacles like this :eek:
 
kinda bummed, mine is in Ontario, CA (not memphis like most of you) right now, but I have to wait till Thursday even though I live in San Diego? It's not even a 2 hour drive yet i gotta wait two more days! Not complaining cause verizon promised thursday, just jealous of those who have received it :)

Maybe the Fedex Fairy is watching down on me and will bring it tomorrow.
 
Please don't call people idiots. It's rude and it negates your valid point.

Your probably right about that, I apologize, but when I feel like a shoe fits somebody it's hard not to make them try it on.



Update: Did I just apologize to somebody with 9 posts? Oh well, probably for the best.:rolleyes::)

From Oakland, CA to Seattle, WA in less than two hours!? Wow! Just think if this phone is capable of travelling over 800 miles in less than two hours what else this phone will be able to do!!!

I guess I'll know tomorrow....

lol, my tracking said the same thing, I was wondering how that worked also.:)
Puyallup in the house.:D
 
Mine is at the local sorting facility! Apparently it took two hours to go from Memphis, TN to ND? Fedex warp drive? Maybe or maybe not...either way...I like...

400 miles an hour? Damn, that is a fast phone!!!:D
 
Tried to preorder today and am unable to do so online. There is no upgrade now tab on My account despite being eligible. Spent half the day with CS but none of them knew a solution. I think it may be something to do with having a business account but am sure others here have those. Now instead of getting it on the 29th i get to wait until next week...lucky me. She wouldn't even throw in free overnight shipping to make up for it....what a joke. Pretty angry/bummed right now as I have been following this phone for forever like the rest of you.
 
Interesting case study in optimism vs pessimism, for me at least.

Yesterday I got my shipping notification, saying its in west chester, PA, which is about 3 hrs 21 min from where I am. I though hey, thats close, if it leaves tonight it could be at sorting overnight and i'll receive it tomorrow (today).

It went to newark, which is 3 hrs 13 min from here, and now im thinking, crap, it wont come tomorrow, itll come thursday. Its technically closer to here, dont know why ive lost faith. Delivery estimate is still tomorrow by 7pm, but just interesting that a day of relatively no movement has gotten me to thinking that it wont arrive tomorrow. Or maybe im just protecting myself from disappointment if it doesnt come, and elation if it does.

Just wanted to share how psychotic this phone is making me.
 
I justed viewed a video about the touch sensor that the Incredible has. It is made by Atmel and is called maXTouch. It shows that the touch screen can recognize 3 or more finger touches even thru gloves. It will recognize nail touches and even a stylus.

Atmel Products - Touchscreens - Unlimited Touch, Unlimited Product Possibilities

Here's the features of the chip:

maXTouch controllers feature Atmel's patented charge transfer technology which enhances the traditional approach to mutual capacitance solutions and combines all aspects of advanced touch sensing onto a single chip:
  • Unlimited touches
  • Low power consumption
  • Fast response — completely redraws screen every 4/1000 of a second (4ms) to eliminate recalibration issues
  • Excellent signal-to-noise ratio for superior precision — 3x better than competitive products
  • Superior performance for first-touch response — 3x better than competitive products
  • Unambiguous, unlimited touch support
  • Responsive user interface: > 250 Hz report rate for a single touch
  • Extremely low current consumption: < 1.8 mW in "touch-ready" state
  • Two touch adjacency of less than 10 mm on a 4.3" touchscreen
  • Small footprint with few external components
  • Supports stylus, fingernails, and gloves
  • Grip and face suppression functionality: avoids false touches
  • Size and angle of touch supported
  • Screen sizes up to 10.2" are supported by a single chip
  • Proximity channel support
 
Your probably right about that, I apologize, but when I feel like a shoe fits somebody it's hard not to make them try it on.


I can see his point on the code. If no one got it and they stuck to their guns I would be fine with it. But all through this deal they have been inconsistent. Some were allowed to order through CS, some were allowed to preorder at stores, some were able to keep their overnight shipping status, and at BB some got the NE2. It baffles me that it is so hard to keep things uniform and fair. I understand some things were mistakes but it seems like they are having more than usual. Call me an idot or worse or whatever, but is the same treatment for everyone to much to ask?
 
so after a long day of hitting F5 every 30 seconds, it has magically arrived in Cleveland. So happy I have tomorrow off. Like a kid on christmas eve!
 
Was on hold with Verizon for over 20 minutes when I called *611. I felt like the phone got a bit warm. But I also have to say it feels far from cheap or plasticky to me. So, far I am really loving it. And, there is definitely going to be a learning curve on this phone. For example, it just made a noise and now I have to figure out what that noise meant :)

Thanks for your earlier story! It was awesome!:D

Same here. Left Newark last night at 10:54pm and still enroute to Long Island. Probably about a 1:30 minute drive. "You get what you pay for". They would not want to deliver it early because then people would not pay for overnight.


It is the opposite when you buy something on line at Amazon or Costco. They tell you Free shipping takes 7-10 Business days, but the item still shows up in 2 days.

Go figure.....
