***Official HTC Incredible Thread***

[haticK]

How did she know the incredible was a smartphone? He didn't tell her that.

most htc phones are...especially any new ones that'd be coming out

 

[Mykpfsu]

not this long, that's for sure

its been at least 4 hours

 

[woodraskam]

When VZW reps say they've known for months, I think that's really revisionists history. When we look back at the Incredible, we might say we've known for months, but nothing was confirmed by vzw, so we really didn't know. Fact is the announcement and release date for both the eris and droid were days apart not weeks.

 

[woodraskam]

I'm hoping the smartphone count goes from 19 to 20.

I can tell you one thing, the last know phone ID on there is 5150 for the LG accolade.....i've went from 5150 to 5200 about 10 times in the last month.

Just want to thank all of the people providing insider info, it's you that keeps this thread exciting and to everyone else who provide entertainment and keep us coming back even when we should be doing other things. This is a wonderful thread to be a part of thanks to every contributor!

The weirdest thing about the N1 is it's not for sale in Europe where unlocked GSM phones listed at full price is the norm. It's also the norm in Asia where it's also not for sale. Instead they launch it in the US where carrier subsidies are the norm.

I'm sure the fact its an american company had something to do with it.

i cant believe how addicting the f5 button is. i just called in sick to work tomorrow so i could continue to hit the f5 button instead of going to work.

 

[schwartzman]

is verizon really this stupid to think that they can keep it secret, especially when they have the testman website directing you to a Droid promo when you click onclick on the phones and phone plans link

 

[dvdivx]

Tell them you are Incredible(TM)ly sick.

And now in the "Disappointing-For-Some-But-Not-So-Disappointing-For-Others" category.....

Think EVERGREEN specs!

I'm perfectly fine with that!!

 

[Incredible]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Verizon, Please say something! i just cant take it any more. i am normaly a very logical person and try to steer clear of the rumors. but please, please, dont make us wait anymore. if there is no announcement of a muther f...ing Incredible tomorrow, i will restrict my acces to all of the dozen sites i visit throughout the day like a crack addict and will go back to my old Motorola Startac. this is ridiculous. also, it is the lack of news for the N! as well. how in the hell can you be the first carrier behind Tmob to announce you will carry and the last to announce availability. WTF. OK Good night, i actually feel a little better now!

 

[UBChain]

I think that everyone on here is forgetting a phone that has the chance to be announced, and are merely focusing on the phone they want. I think that a phone that has a good chance of being announced tomorrow is the V-phone especially since it may tie in with this skpe deal and video conferencing.

I believe you may be onto something. Saygus has been way to quiet. Last time I got through to a real human at their offices they told me the phone had passed Verizon testing. That was sometime early Feb. I was hot on that for a while until falling in lust w/ the Incredible. There's quite a few others "on the horizon" but as with most here, I can't wait much longer for an Android based phone with some guts. Incredible, Supersonic, X10... C'mon Verizon, us loyal customers who like having a decent network are tired of waiting.

I figured you were on your way to camp out in front of your vz store.

Breaking News: Man commits suicide because Verizon doesn't release information on Incredible.

 

[schwartzman]

and i would be the ghost of that man guys...i couldnt take it any longer

HAHAHA! I'll be tuned in here ALL DAY tomorrow, and then camp out at the VZW store on Wednesday to greet the HTC rep who's supposed to be there to open that damn box!!!

 

[pixie06]

Any chance I can bribe someone to start a thread tomorrow if there is an announcement? I have patients scheduled back to back tomorrow and will only have a little over a minute in the dark room while developing x-rays to check for news. Definitely not enough time to try to sort through pages of posts and I will DIE if I have to wait till the end of the day to find out...well, not die but you KWIM.

 

[absolution]

Side question only vaguely related to the incredible:

My NE2 was up in February. As I understand it they've changed it so NE2 is only worth $50, but I was grandfathered in at -$100 (that's what it shows when I go to upgrade my phone online, too).

If I pick up an incredible when it comes out, but only get a 1-year contract with it, will I lose any NE2 discount I had? Or will it apply to this purchase, but no extra discount next year?

 

[haticK]

they probably will be available tomorrow to buy but only in select cities

Disguise yourself as a taped up box.

 

[woodraskam]

well, battery on the lappy is dying......need to recharge for the big day tomorrow. Evergreen Here We Come.

 

[Norril]

Yeah he could have and should have handled that differently. How are we supposed to sleep now?

Folks, this is actually pretty funny. We have all pulled a tease on a friend before. Is it any different if you pull a tease on 200 friends? I imagine he has been at the tables and had a good 5-10 of those cheap free drinks and it occured to him how much fun it would be to mess with us.

Either way, what better time, that just before D-Day. We will know tomorrow regardless. Have a laugh and go sleep it off. Don't jump on him for either having some fun, or being unsure of how to break bad news to us.

Eat a marsh-mellow!
