What if...those that got to the VZW link yesterday (before it got taken down) and managed to sign up for early email notices...what if...they get the first shot at getting one online...? VZW knows there's gonna be a massive run on this phone immediately. This could be a scenario...just thinkin' out loud.

Or what if they just get spammed with crap from VZW that has nothing to do with the incredible? I think that's more likely.

You know i get that a lot...and just to set the record straight, the "mac" in my handle has nothing to do with apple or mac. Don't own a single product...no iPhone/Pad/Mac/Pod/etc...

no ipod? ...ever?

i was never an apple fan, personally.. but i'm on ipod #2 and built a hackintosh out of boredom (and $25 bucks for snow leopard) ..so i'd think that most of the other "haters" still had SOME apple product at some time. i'm impressed!

I'm no Apple fan boy myself and as much as I'd love to punch Steve Jobs until my hand is covered in blood, I have to admit that I love my iMac. That being said, I would NOT get an iPhone.
 
Me thinks no more new info unless Verizon "slips" with more info page data on their site, or samples for training leak early. May be a dry spell for more info until the content experts get theirs and we get some Youtube action, or a ghost post.

Training is 4/22 and it mentions "make sure to bring your Inc", so this likely means the content experts are getting theirs at the beginning of the week. Probably going to be a looooooong info-less weekend for the "Incredibles" (aka, obsessive complusive people in this thread) ;)

eh... i don't know that there will be...

we are the supernerds, and there are probably only about 200 of us here? the hugely vast majority of people are ON contract and won't pay $600, and most don't know about the device.. even most of the supernerds already got droids and probably aren't willing to shell out retail..

i know i know, the example will be the rush on the bb storm when it came out.. but i bet the average BB user (white collar professional.. at the time) has more cash to shell out than the average android fan?

i don't think we'll have any trouble getting our hands on these..

It's a possibility. I personally haven't heard of it happening. But I wouldn't be surprised if they start actively auditing accounts looking for that.

If you have someone without a tethering plan and they're using >10gb of data each month, there's a good chance they're tethered.

Yeah, My concern would be how would they know? Or a better question is there a way for them to tell if the data is coming directly from the phone or being "passed through" from a laptop? My issue is there no way I'm paying 20$/month for tethering... It's something I think I would probably use a couple times a year. I don't travel often, most hotels already have WiFi, coffee shops, Mcdonalds, etc. I would like the ABILITY though for that one time I'm stuck out somewhere....

Life long apple user here....first mac was 20 years ago...currently own about 10 different mac desktops and 3 macbooks.....plus my personal hot rodded mac mini. the family owns about a dozen iPods....and mac book pros of there own....we bleed mac blood here.

That being said...never own an iPhone because there is no AT&T in Vermont...and i originally went wit he Eris, because i thought that was a close "second".....but i returned it to wait on the incredible.

I simply LOVE the android OS....and if the iPhone and the INcredible were both released on verizon the same day....i am 75% sure i would choose the Incredible...it would come down to which one had the best keyboard and screen resolution.

am i banned????:D:D

Flash 10.1 gets released, their will be a large and fairly consistent spike of bandwidth (edit: use) . This could be used as a smoke screen to cover some tethering use :)

Have the three mysterious posters that unleashed the link to that Verizon "leak" yesterday made any posts since then?

I think one of them did claiming to be someone at Verizon in the Covert Marketing Dept. :rolleyes: Other than that, I dont recall seeing anything else from any of them...yet.

Supernerds..heh heh...funny but true...OK then let the supernerds that signed up get 'em first. We deserve it. Actually, everyone on here should get them first.

Post 500 - I want to be frozen for two weeks. So I don't have to wait for the release. This waiting is making me Obsessive/Compulsive! "Yeah, Definitely F5, yeah, I'm an excellent driver."

I strongly advise against freezing yourself. Cartman tried that in South Park when he was waiting for the Wii to come out, and it did not go so well. :D

Unless you're running bit torrent or doing some other crazy stuff, I wouldn't be concerned about it.
 
Jessica Alba is a Droid Incredible fan.

i'm a huge mac user...for graphic design (MacBook Pro), for music (iPod Touch), for recreation (iPad), i absolutely love their products. For people that don't... i almost feel like they just won't give them a chance.

In any case, Mac fanboy or not... i will be first in like for the Incredible paying full retail for it...i can't wait to get my hands on it!

Your "Am i Banned" comment gave me a chuckle... all i could think about is this:

YouTube - how i met your mother pencil miracle
