---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

and since you are getting the sg3 where ya planning on buying the dinc? verizon straight up cash?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Haven't really thought about where I'll buy it yet. Probably wherever I can get it cheapest. I might even buy it used(but in like new condition)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] thatexan:
Yeah same here prolly ;)

jammin' till tha jam is through,.,. on my Original Droid Incredible ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
That's it! I've had enough! I am out, cya guys later... I'll be rocking my Droid Inc2 till next year. I am enjoying it with the Sense4 TSM ROM, and I realize how awesome it would be on the Dinc4G but I am bored waiting for it...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Senryo:
I thought you jumped ship to the GSIII? Change your mind? The 21st is the final date that seemed plausibles, but I'm still considering just getting a Nexus and getting it over with. That way I can at least get the Android experience I'm looking for, with the cost of a few things. If it comes out within 14 days, great! If not... I dunno, I'll see if I can work magic or something xD
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LyndenP:
I've had this Dinc4G lanyard card since April 5th.... Seriously, why the hell has it taken so long?!?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Who knows... Just shows Verizon is delaying the phone for the hell of it. Don't even think its for the shared data plans, just that they like delaying phones.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Have they ever announced or shown off a phone and not released it?.....
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] doeboy711:
They showed the phone off almost 2 months ago at CITA I believe and said it was comin gout in May. But nothing has came out so far....
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LyndenP:
I finally found the business card for a contact at HTC. I'm going to email him today and see if I can get any info from him.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Great! Let us know if you can get anything out of him
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] sully5981:
Do some waterboarding if necessary..... lol jk
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
Yes they have though it has been awhile since the last one I can remember.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
They never said it was coming out in May. They said in the " coming weeks". This gives them a great deal of latitude since that could mean a couple of weeks or more. Just because it has been a month or two doesn't mean that the coming weeks is wrong because there are weeks in months. ;-)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Definitely agreed with this. I'm just as disappointed as the next guy about the fact that this phone isn't out yet, but I don't think Verizon has necessarily lied at all--they were intentionally vague with "in the coming weeks" and all of the rest was largely baseless speculation. This phone hasn't technically been delayed at all; there's no one to say that this wasn't the intended release time all along.

I still think they're screwing up the release, though. They allowed the GS3 to take away too much of the spotlight. Hard to generate buzz for this one when everyone else is talking about another.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SyrisPuppet:
Knowing this thread is focused on the incredible, I'll keep it short, but if you aren't waiting on this phone because of the smaller screen, why are you waiting for it? Have you compared the specs of the incredible and the Rezound?

~Tapatalk'd from my Galaxy Nexus...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
If you're going about saying what i think you are, you do know the Inc4G beats it in every way minus resolution and ppi, right?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
We've been through this ten thousand times, the Rezound's processor is slower, less efficient on battery, and more prone to overheating than the Inc 4G's. They are not equivalent.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
The Dinc4G beats the Rezound in every way other than screen size and PPI, as others have said. Many don't take into account the form factor either; the Dinc4G is much lighter and thinner than the Rezound, making it more portable and not so bulky. I've already preordered the S3 however so I'm not really waiting on it anymore (unless it releases this week). Its more of my backup option now if I have a problem with the S3.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
The bulk factor is the one thing that stopped me from being interested in the Rezound. I loved the design of the device, but it's just way too thick and heavy. HTC's decision to make the Inc 4G as close as possible to the Incredible in form factor was a good one.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wpbear:
Rezound price drop to $79......maybe a hint at the DINC 4G coming this week.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Could also be for the S3, but still a good sign nonetheless. Just don't get too excited, Verizon can change their plans for releease at any given moment.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kzoodroid:
Just called and got them to drop the price of the Rezound I ordered on Friday. Glad I checked this thread this morning. For me at $80 for the Rezound it will be hard to move to the Inc4G if and when it comes out.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] thatexan:
i got the rezound back when it was goin for 49.99 online,, I TOOK IT BACK 2 DAYS LATER CAUSE OF THE HORRIBLE BATTERY LIFE & i had 2 extra batteries w/charger!! sent those back to,, sry but it had the worst batt life ive ever seen :( THIS THURSDAY BETTER BE OUR DAY OF THE DINC4G!!!!! ;))
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mclass55:
The price of the Rezound went down, but the price of the Razr Max went sky high!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] thatexan:
yes evry week prices go up and down @ verizon, thanks?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Their dads and grads promotion ended yesterday, that's why.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kzoodroid:
Can't be any worse than the 6 hours I'm getting now on my Inc.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] enderblue:
Six hours! Are you watching videos the whole time or something? I still get a solid 24 hours with moderate use.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] thatexan:
yeah im still on the OG dinc and it does great on batt life,, of course it is rooted so all bloatware apps are long gone :)) running skyraider 4.2 :))
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kzoodroid:
I play words with friend using the app and I get about 4 hours to a charge using it. They really need to optimize that app, it draws like 100% cpu while its running. But its like crack so I have to play. If I'm not playing I get like 12 hours out of a charge but then I'm rarely not playing.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] enderblue:
Ah yes, Words with Friends, my old battery nemesis. That explains a lot.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

So, it looks like VZW just dropped the price on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to $149.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
It's hard to say whether these price drops mean anything or not, since it might just be reflecting standard price drops over time, but I think it's interesting that the two phones to get price drops are Samsung and HTC phones while the Motorola Droid 4/RAZR/Maxx stay at their higher price.

We know the GSIII is coming, so the correlation between the GSIII launch and the GNex price drop is almost certain. I wouldn't put too much faith in a Rezound price drop though; they've been bouncing around the price of that phone since its launch trying to find a way to make it sell. It's been cheaper than $79 before (it was even free for a while). But nonetheless a good sign.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] bigdaddyblues:
talked with a salesman today. He said Jul 9 which is after the June 28 start of the Share Everything plan. You will lose your unlimited. We shall see.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Same day as the S3 is supposed to launch, so I'm doubting that date. That will make the Dinc4G get more overshadowed than it already is
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kzoodroid:
I wouldn't take what a sales rep says seriously. I talked to one last Thursday who didn't even know unlimited data was ending.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] thatexan:
yeah there is only 1 conclusion for the Verizon reps, salesman, saleswomen, managers, online chat ect ect,,,

they are all NOOBS! :))
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LyndenP:
I beg to differ... :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] slacka-vt:
Seems to me that Verizon is giving away the Rhyme and selling the Rezound for a steal to make room for the Inc 4G.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] azndan2:
I hope the Inc 4G comes out this thurs. If not, at least I got a price drop on the rezound I ordered last week ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] thatexan:
ok beg it on up ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dLo GSR:
if this doesn't come out on thursday... i don't know what my GF's gonna do. she doesn't want to lose her unlimited, but she doens't want the big-ass phones and she wants LTE.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
She should try the LG Lucid. Heard its pretty decent, I thought the screen was pretty nice on it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Batttie:
Ugh the last heart wretching day... after I wake up in the a.m I hope they will announce it for a Thursday release. If not I may have to purchase another phone.... ugh *shudder*
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cooldman224:
I am in same boat. I really don't want the Rezound but I don't have another choice. The new Samsung is too big of a phone for me. Please let it be Thursday...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Senryo:
*no longer relevant*
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Alton (Halo 2):
When is the Droid Incredible 1 coming out ? I herd that phone was legit.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Oh, only like 2 years ago back in March. Lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Batttie:
The only way the above plan works is if you sell your G3 at full price and purchase the Droid Inc 4g at full price.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] thatexan:
EXACTLY!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] PhillyCheez:
why are we able to pre-order an S3 and not a inc??? If it doesn't drop soon I'll have to grab an S3 or iphone and just sell it on craigslist or something.

I don't see how trading in works after june 28th... that's a risk it seems.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Well I'm going to see if I can get a rep who will let me keep my unlimited data if I trade in. My plan at this point is: If I like the S3 and its not too big, I keep it. But if it is too big, then I'll either: attempt to exchange it, or sell it online. Really hoping it isn't too big because I don't want to go through all the hastle and I like large screens
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Senryo:
Yes, after 14 days I would have that issue. My recepit says I have 14 days to return the phone for a $35 restocking fee.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Batttie:
Yes you do have 14 days to return the phone. But the "trade in" starts a new contract with a new device. You will be bound by the rules post June 28. Your contract resets when you return a device. I just experienced this with a Droid razr. There is no loop hole around this. No 14 day magical return policy that will let us keep our unlimited and purchase the Droid Inc for 149.00.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Senryo:
I don't understand it, but I'll take your word for it. Hope things work out for you.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Batttie, this thread on Verizon's support site contradicts that idea and implies that you can return within the 14 day return period and keep unlimited data.

https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/775483
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tinthere:
I had been holding out for the phone, but with the lack of announcement today and impending unlimited blackout I got a rezound today. The verizon retailer matched the online price for me and my wife. If the Inc4g comes out in the next 14 days I can exchange with the restocking fee.

I noticed on a rebate form in the store the Inc4g was already listed as getting a $50 rebate now through 7/22, so we can probably assume it'll be out by then. Whether it comes out before the 28th is anyone's guess.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] HankPete:
All this confusion about exchanging a phone within the 14 day period and losing your current plan....

Isn't this situation covered explicitely in the Verizon terms somewhere?

I couldn't find it in their 14 day return/exchange policy, but it must be in writing somewhere. We can't be at the mercy of whatever some salesperson feels like saying at any given time...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] HankPete:
Is this thing on....???

Is this noobie hazing? Like in MLB when a guy hits his first dinger and his teammates ignore him in the dugout?

Bueller?

Bueller?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kzoodroid:
This forum isn't very active as the phone hasn't been released so have some patience waiting for replies or else you might start to piss people off then they'll really start to ignore your posts.

To get to your question no one knows the answer, its all just speculation right now. You'll just have to wait to find out after the 28th just like everyone else.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] itsmefu:
Figured they would announce it today and release it tomorrow, weird. This phone is going to start showing up on the back of milk cartons.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mclass55:
Tommorow is the day, I just know it!!!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Trust me, it won't be. We would have heard something by now
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tooter1:
Unofficial release date is tomorrow....who knows with Verizon though!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jvward:
Does anyone know when the stores normally get the phones onsite prior to sale?

Like day of or day before or earlier that week?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
According to every VZW rep I've ever spoken to, they don't get any stock until the night before the release.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mclass55:
I bet we wake up tomorrow morning and see the incredible 4G for sale on the Verizon website. Man it will be just like Christmas in June!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
I don't want to be the pessimistic one, but you are setting yourself up for disappointment lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] bompus:
If it makes you all feel any better, I was in a store over the weekend and the sales person there told me "I doubt we will be releasing any new phones before the holidays".. what holidays? "Before Christmas, that's when we release phones to boost sales".

I'm half wondering if he was aware they are taking pre-orders and issuing press releases that mention both the S3 and the Inc4G.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
As if we needed any more reminders of the utter idiocy that plagues the ranks of VZW employees.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] chimpsnest:
It's the same feeling I had when I was waiting for the TBolt ... it's tomorrow, no, it's NEXT Thursday, then what happened to yesterday.

I guess it doesn't matter, I'm not up for renewal until November, whatever I get I'll be buying for full price to keep my unlimited data and the "customer loyalty" plan I have w/the 450 mins, 5 friends and fam and unlimited texting for $69 bucks.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Batttie:
Warning!!! Long Reply ahead. Sorry!

No, how can it be? They can't anticipate every situation

You are ALWAYS at the mercy of what ever salesperson/ customer service/ salesrep that you deal with in ANY company. Here are two great examples from the link provided above.

This one is a tad vaque answer tho....

Doesn't really specify if you return and want to upgrade to a new phone or if you return to a previous or already purchased phone

And here is a little more detailed statement,

I just wanted to warn people from thinking they are guaranteed to keep unlimited through the exchange policy if the INC4g is released. It may work for a few but I doubt it will work for most. I'm debating on weather or not to get the resound or Razr Maxx.... Razr Maxx is close to ICS but I want the NFC so I'll probably sell the Maxx and buy the 4g at full price.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] doeboy711:
You will loose your unlimited data if you upgrade a phone with a discount from VZW on/after June 28th. The only way to keep your unlimited after that point is to buy the phone outright. Which means a $500+ phone. If you don't have unlimited data, you can either keep your current plan or update it to the new Shared Plans. Any new accounts created on/after June 28th will have to be put on the new Shared plans.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cman6453:
The Rezound just dropped another $20 to $79.99...something's going on...hmmmm....
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Seeing the Galaxy S III as a promoted trending topic on Twitter all day is just adding insult to injury... I don't have the same impetus everyone else does, since I really don't mind losing unlimited data (I don't use much data, and since I'm on a family plan with multiple smartphones, data share actually may save us money), so it coming out June 28th or later doesn't bother me, but I wish I could know a little bit ahead of time rather than being disappointed every week. It's beginning to look like this and the GSIII are Verizon's pawns to get everyone off unlimited, which isn't a surprising business tactic, but at the moment Verizon's smartphone offerings are just embarrassing. If they weren't going to give us a One Series phone, they could have at least given us our One-ish phone in a timely manner...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mclass55:
Anyone else see this today?

Samsung Galaxy S III is hot: bursts into flames and melts through its own casing

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-melts/
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
One out of ~9,000,00 (+-1,000,000) isn't too bad of a "bursting into flames" statistic.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jul644:
Any body els excited to try and unlock this phone and take advantage of its HSDPA 850 / 1900 bands similarly to rezound?

phone is perfect!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Stam2000:
Verizon's press release today for the expanded LTE coverage mentions the Inc4gLTE but only says coming soon.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Well, at least we know Verizon hasn't disowned the phone yet. It's neglected but not dead.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wpbear:
It would be in the website by now if it was being released today.

Since it is not, and VZW usually releases on Thursday, I guess there will not be one last upgrade to the DINC4G with unlimited data before the cutoff.

Now to choose from Moto lineup or the Rezound. Rezound is buggy, but MotoBlur sucks....but since I am anrgy at HTC, do they deserve my money?:mad:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] icon123:
Do you like it better than Chrome?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] slacka-vt:
Yup 300Mhz difference. I realized the error in my ways but was too lazy to edit.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
I definitely am about to swap the ROM with something else. I am running AOKP build 33. After a few weeks, the ROM I run always seems to become sluggish and develop some weird bugs :/ Happened last time... :/
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] HypostaticOnion:
I'm on AOKP 36 and its awesome.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
Whoops... typo.

At least I had the MHz number right, the one that I was actually attempting to correct
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AndrewGL:
At least you have a Dinc2 XD

I've been stuck with my good ole' Droid inc for two years now...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dLo GSR:
i read on a taiwanese news site that the DINC4G is one of the phones being held up at customs.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Source?

I find that strange, given that the DInc4G is almost as bastardized from the stock One series as the new Evo (in terms of mostly looks and somewhat innards).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
It still uses Sense 4.0. It's not the phone that was infringing on a patent, it was the software. So it makes sense.

I have decided if this phone isn't suitable for me when it comes out, then I will be jumping over to Sprint to get the Evo 4g LTE, and use the PRL hack to get Verizon's coverage. Seriously hoping this phone is released by the beginning of June.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Ah, hadn't thought of that.

That makes Sense.

(lol see what i did there)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
Booooo!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Folks, I am dying in here! I can't bear so much stress... My grades are up in the air, the Dinc4G's release is up in the air, the Dinc2's ICS is (sorta) up in the air (probably not) and will take time to release. Something's gotta give!!! :( :'(

I can't take this any longer! My poor heart is too weak to take it anymore!! :/
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Edit: I actually meant to post this in the specs/speculation thread. lol whoops.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Stam2000:
Does that really work?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Yeah, you just have to be careful with how much data you use, so you don't get booted.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Stam2000:
I use WiFi a lot but hell I may jump to sprint if I can get decent signal with the hack
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] itsmefu:
I had no idea you could do that. Sounds interesting, i'll have to Google it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] HypostaticOnion:
Sounds illegal.... o_O
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
It might be. But have you seen how bad sprints coverage/speeds are? The thing with this is, you don't know when you'll get booted. If you get booted, your kind of stuck with a phone without service. Unless you can get Verizon to activate it, which could be another option. And hey, if you just want the phone, you can always switch to Sprint, get it at the discounted price, and roam like gigs of data per month to get booted lol. I wouldn't recommend it at all though. The phone does look really nice though, but you'd have to carefully watch how much data your using while roaming, or you'll get booted. Especially if your using LTE. Look into it if you want to know more about it "sprint prl hack", pretty sure you can do this on any carrier though.

ANYWAYS WHO WANTS TO GET BACK ON TOPIC?! :D

Hoping for a May 31st launch, though it's probably unlikely, I'm betting on early June. This phone is been delayed so many times that I'm starting to have a pessimistic attitude on the launch date. I won't be able to get it the first day it comes out anyways, which may not be such a bad thing because then I can wait for reviews to show up.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] aeroevan:
How could the phone be delayed if they never hive a release date? :D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] azndan2:
It isnt htc's fault, it is verizon's. Don't get a Motorola. Blur sucks. Don't give in to their nazi tactics where they force you to use blur.
