You'll have to forgive my ignorance on this. I know that a movie is a large file, and its size is determined by the video quality. But if a video is streamed to a phone, how much more bandwidth does it use compared to say NFL Superfan where you can watch all NFL games on the device?

You make a good point there.

I have a Netflix account, so I wouldn't mind streaming movies into my phone on long day trips or something.
 
I guess we'll have to wait and see if there is anything that happens at the gdgt party tomorrow, but I would have to say I can't imagine any test devices being there...but I could be wrong. We'll probably have to wait for definitive news at CTIA a week from tomorrow.

Edit: After I said that, I noticed that a Windows Phone 7 Series will be available for a hands-on, so maybe we will hear some rumblings tomorrow. HTC is a Silver level sponsor for the event.
 
I would assume just the Desire and HDmini but not the Incredible. I think the Incredible will be announced through VZW, similar to the Droid. (whereas, the Desire, Legend, HDmini didn't have locked carriers, the Incredible is exclusively on VZW, which, IMO, makes a difference in terms of announcements)

I think he was asking about the 1GB RAM, in which case you post would be discrediting that. It says 512MB of RAM in yours. I believe it was Stericson who said expect 512 but be pleasantly surprised if 1GB does come with it.. or something to that effect.

I update this google doc as I read posts with links to certain posts in this thread so I don't have to search for posts later when I want to find out where something was said. Maybe someone else can find this useful too.

LOL Nice. Man I hope it comes with 720p Recording. AND I really wish that the 8mp Camera is a legit one. I mean it IS Incredible. :P (the Incredible puns are not going to get old anytime soon..oops there's another one..lol..)
 
My opinion on a few things. So if you dont want to read my, "off topic clog" as some people are putting it, move along. I for one love this thread because its more than just an incredible news thread. Everyone is SO informative for un-tech savvy people like me. Its a place we can ask questions and everyone is very nice and supportive. Thats what makes this thread so...... Incredible hehe. Part of the reason why I even chose this phone to be my first android is because of this thread.

The iphone debate. Even if the iphone does come on verizon I dont want it. Dont get me wrong its a great phone. The main reason is everyone and thier mama has an iphone! I'd rather not have something so many people have. I used to not be too into specs but being here has peaked my interest. The way the phone looks is a big one for me. Everyone has thier preference on a phone and the look is one of mine. Thats a reason I wanted the desire. But I dont wanna make the move to at&t and I'd become too attached to this phone.

About the look of the Incredible. Everyone wants the flat back. But cmon now. At least its not that awkward redish back. I like the design. It sets this phone apart from others. And of course the specs :) and I wouldnt even have paid attention to the specs if it wasnt for this thread :)

My ne2 is up this month but I am willing to wait. Even if its in May. I'd rather they perfect the phone first then release it than release it when its not ready

I would have the eris if its wasnt for you guys :) hope this doesnt piss people off. Just my thoughts :)

Believe me you're not alone on this one. In fact, there is quite a large group hoping the iPhone doesn't make it to Verizon. We definitely don't want it bogging down Verizon's 3G, although we all know it can handle it much better than AT&T's network.

No offense to Verizon employees but I don't think any of them are in the know.
Click to expand...

This is 150% true. I, personally, know more than half a dozen people who work for Verizon. Be it in a Call Center or in a retail store. None of them have any clue what is coming out. Most of them know less about phones, networks and all of that than I do. It's kind of sad really.

They do, however, get "trainings" on new phones. Just before the new Palm phones showed up they got the inside scoop on them and were given basic details and how to respond to the customers and that sort of stuff. It's just the basics and from what I understand, most people simple click through and don't pay attention. I'd love to know some of the info, but they all seem to ignore it. *shrug*

Asking anyone from Verizon anything is damn near pointless. Assuming that because someone has a "connection" to Verizon that they know something or can get any special info is just silly. One my best friends, his wife and my girlfriend all work in the Call Center and all in different departments. They know less about the upcoming phone lineups than I do. I've got a buddy who is a middle-manager at a local store, he might know even less than they do. Most of the time when I ask about a phone they just say "When I get a training on it, I'll let you know".

Seriously, Verizon employees are black holes of phone info.
 
I stopped at Best BuY over the weekend... Stopped by the Phones and probed for info... they of course were clueless.. they googled it and were shocked at the hits they got.

I bet they spent the rest of the day reading this thread... lol!!! :p

No one is forcing you to read and participate in this thread. If you would like one on something less broad, then by all means, start your own thread on something specific.
Click to expand...

You're missing the point. The admins created separate sub-forums for all the different Android devices for a good reason. This isn't a general discussion forum, and this thread's topic is anything but broad... "Official HTC Incredible Thead" is pretty specific. People will come to it looking for information about that handset, and won't have the time/inclination to wade through numerous posts about iPhones, carrier plans etc. Good info gets lost in the static, and people get disillusioned with the chaos and go elsewhere.

With almost 22K active members, and dozens of new ones joining us each day, the sub-forums have to be kept orderly.
 
I read on the first post that the incredible is confirmed and will be running a 1 ghz snap dragon...but I have google alerts send me any news about the incredible and after reading the 10 new news articles they all say that it is running the 768 mhz snap dragon...which is right, who is right? I don't want to be confused!!! Here is one article stating 768

Anyone else having a hard time getting into the Phones section on vzw.com? I can get into my account but the "upgrade your phone" section won't load. Adding the Incredible to the website are we :D

In other news (yes off topic but relevant IMO):

I personally wouldn't read too much into the issues you're having on Verizon's website. I'm not sure about others, but I've had frequent issues with their website and it has never meant a thing.

Battery Life:

My source says that the battery honestly Sucks.

But *** doesnt know if it is just how *** uses the phone.

*** Took it off about 11 and it is down to 27% now after browsing some music streaming and some other fooling around on it.

That was a direct quote from the source.

I've been following this thread since Friday but have been unable to post - it's been killing me!

First - thank you NKT and Stericson for all the info.

NKT - How has your battery life compared to what Stericson reported?

I believe the consensus on it was that it was a 1ghz capable chip but underclocked to 768 to save battery.
