I think they're going to try and have the devices loaded before being given out.

As always, NKT thanks for everything. :cool: Asking you based on all that you know... what percent chance do you give the Incredible being released SOMETIME in April? I literally mean ANY TIME between the 1st - 30th?
 
NKT said:
I'd say a couple weeks. But that depends on the marketers and how much they wanna hype the phone.

Thanks. 1 more, not to overwhelm you :D

How BIG or small do you think the marketing for this phone will be...?

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being no marketing, 10 being Droid type marketing+. Thanks!!!

One of the "benefits"of being OLD is that people often treat you differently,....a little more patient with you because you are probably confused and slow minded. Using this to my advantage, I took my 16 yr old grandson with me to our VZW store last night.
He wandered off to look at the phones and I patiently waited for a salesperson. A lovely young lady offered to answer any questions I might have. I told her I wanted to get my grandson a new phone for his 16th birthday and he had his heart set on "this phone" (and I handed her a crumpled piece of paper with the name "Incredible" written on it.) She said she had never heard of this phone but he might really like the Devour.
I pressed her about it and got a little shaky-voiced....because " 16 is such a special birthday!" After what seemed like forever, she finally said, "ma'am, we're not allowed to talk about that phone,...but if your grandson can wait a few weeks we may have something he will like."
So same-ol-same-ol.....but we had a great time giving it our best shot!

After-thought.....maybe some of you should try crying when you go in and ask!

In project terms, the anticipated release date is slipping a week every seven days. Nothing new about that, given that the anticipated date is and has always been a wild a$$ed guess flavored with a sprinkle of heresay sauce.

That said, there's enough evidence thats been turned up by the diligent sleuthing of this thread crowd to convince me that:
- The ADR6300 is real and is coming to VZW
- Its a better product than the GSM or CDMA versions of the N1
- It will be released sometime in the first half of this year

I've stopped cursing out my ancient razr when it drops dead mid call, or goes blank white screen, or pulls any of its other menu of common fail modes. I now curse VZW for delaying release of the ADR6300, which WILL be my next phone. Those bastards.

mmmmm heresay sauce that's good stuff.
 
Conjecture follows:

Based on NKT's confirmation that there a new build being tested, its highly likely that the release date is not yet set in stone. There's probably a marketing plan ready to roll out, but this won't start until the tech side of the house approves the build for volume production. Its only then that a firm date will be knowable.

If i buy a BOGO Droid, then return one of them. How do they know that it's the free one?? Couldn't it just be like any other $200 DROID?

If not, if they do find out its the free one, i have to pay the difference of $200 for the Incredible?

Does a price change affect anything in the return value? Like say, i buy the DROID for $200, if it gets reduced to $120 when the Incredible comes out, and i go to exchange it, does the value become $120 or stay at the $200 i paid and i exchange the phone at no cost (besides restocking fee)
 
I've been waiting for this phone for awhile now, and as much as I hate to say it, I can't see the Incredible coming out anytime soon. If the rumored specs are true, then this phone will be outdated by the end of summer because of the release of the Evo and possibly a Verizon Iphone. So Verizon really only has one option: Take it back to the drawing board, update it with 4G technology, and try to beat out the Evo and Iphone. Perhaps that's why there have been rumors about about the testers sending their units back.

Plus, they already have the Nexus One coming out with almost the same exact specs. If they are indeed going to sell it at VZW stores, then this only increases my doubt we are getting the Incredible anytime soon. I think it's more like that with Google losing the lawsuit for the rights to the name Nexus One, they will just end up changing the name to Incredible for release.

I hope I'm wrong though.

I'd say that's probably the case. They have a "window" for release. I don't think the actual date has be set.

I also live in Louisville and pumped the three VZW stores in/around the malls last week and no one knew about anything coming from HTC except the N1. Glad to know I'm not alone here in KY.

I live right across the river in Indiana. I was thinking about trying the store in Clarksville to see if they have any info.
 
I love this thread. Where else can I find posts with dudes bashing someones Grandma, or hundreds of posts about a "box" or even better this Gem of a post:

"Instant Death"

Wish I could make that my screen name ;)

This thread is really ... dare I say ... Incredible (sorry, had to stay on topic)

An announcement may be coming but the release may be soon. They're testing a new load so hopefully this will be the last one before release.

I figure you would have said it if there was but I'll ask anyway...

Any differences that you noticed or heard?

Any chance there is an hdmi out?
