Does it really matter if it is under-clocked? Judging from the videos I have seen that does not affect the speed of the device. It should also provide for better battery life. Plus, once Jelly Bean is on it it should matter even less.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] HypostaticOnion:
Also, if its underclocked, that means it can be overclocked pretty good. And I'm only running 1.3 ghz right now and I'm on a single core.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sephirothvfc:
I work at best buy
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
k, thanks
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
Great to know. Thanks. Should only cost me $20 to swap then. :D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
ill probably pick mine up this weekend then (softball thursday and friday night)

hopefully someone works on recovery/root (should be easy to get going since the evo lte stuff should be really similiar if not identical)

otherwise ill confer with some smarter people than myself and take a shot at it
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] adomus7:
Its on Verizon's site now for $149.99 with online discount. I have an upgrade to I get an additional $50 off so I'll be paying $99. Will be ordering soon... so excited... finally!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] prjkthack:
Page on Verizon: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...&action=viewPhoneDetail&&selectedPhoneId=5892

Definitely looking into getting this phone to replace my Thunderbolt (though I may just hold out and wait a few more months for something even better). I'm wondering if the screen looks as nice as the one on the One X though. Probably not, since everything points to plain old Super LCD. I'll probably get a unit in on Friday to play with, and then decide from there.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
its not listed on bestbuy's site yet, but on wirefly its $99 for new lines and for upgrades :D

definitely getting it from them, cuz best buy is a pita to order online and pick up in store...half the time you are there for 40 minutes while they are on the phone w/ verizon and cant activate

I just got my Ding 4G at the VZ store. Cost me $106 . I'm in love. Well worth the wait.

Found this on the best buy website. Seems u can't order online right now but I checked stores in San Antonio TX and one store seems to have it. Probably the rest getting later on today
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Glad to hear that some Best Buys are getting the phone today. I wasn't sure if there was going to be a delay between the Verizon launch and the release at Best Buy. My local Best Buys don't open for another 90 minutes. I'll be calling them to see if they have it. If so, I'll have them hold one for me and I'll pick it up after work.

If anyone has any success doing a hardware exchange at Best Buy and keeping their unlimited data, please share. I'd like to know what my chances are, lol.

If anyone preordered the Samsung GSIII before June 28 to keep the unlimited Verizon data plan and tries to exchange for the Dinc 4, please let us know if you are successful.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Crap. I called three different Best Buys in SoCal and they didn't have the phone in stock. I was really hoping to ditch this Rezound today. Oh well. I'll try calling tomorrow...

Does Best Buy receive shipments of phones throughout the day? Maybe they'll get one in later today. Can you tell that I really don't want this Rezound? *sigh*

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
Tried 2 different stores in my area with no luck. Both stores said that they were waiting on a drop shipment from UPS. Said it could come today but they weren't to optimistic. Hoping for tomorrow at the latest.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Thanks. I'll call them again before I leave work. I'm quite busy this weekend and was hoping to have this taken care of before tomorrow. Much appreciated.

ETA: Score! One of the stores got the phone in. It's on hold and I'm going to try the hardware swap after work. :-)

Let me/us know how it goes and what exactly they/you did if you end up keeping your unlimited plan...trying to make this as smooth as possible for the wife and don't want some chance the BB employee messes it up and she looses the Unltd...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
Based on the title, "Possible release date and price for Incredible 4G LTE," it seems like this thread should be closed, no?

It would seem that related discussion, such as whether or not people are successful with keeping unlimited data through an exchange, would be better off as separate threads.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
well the price part is still accurate :p

seems like upgrade price on letstalk is $39.99 and new line is $19.99 (from what i could gather)

not too familiar w/ the site so im a bit reserved in ordering through them
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
I had success. Last Wed, I "upgraded" my black Inc2 to a free white Inc2 in order to keep my unlimited data. Activated the white one, then reactivated my black one. Never used the white one. Went to Best Buy today and exchanged the white Inc2 for my Inc4G. No issue whatsoever. 10 minute process. The best part is that I got a $50 BB gift card when I upgraded, so the Inc4G cost me only $50.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Awesome! Thanks!

Also, there are members at the Android Forums reporting that they've been able to exchange their phones at Verizon corporate stores without being forced to change their data plan.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
Hah!

Scored mine as well. :D

Was very easy to swap. Have checked my account and it still says unlimited!

Much nicer then the Rezound so far. A ton smaller too.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
Good to hear about the exchanges :highfive:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] adomus7:
Got mine... installed all my apps and set everything up before realizing I have a yellowish screen burn across the top of the screen... I guess I'll have to return mine and do all that over again... lame.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] prjkthack:
Simply swapping a smartphone out for another smartphone is not an issue and can be done without any data plan changes (in most common cases).

Its getting the upgrade pricing on your phone and renewing contracts that is prompting the data plan change.

Otherwise no one should have issues simply swapping smartphone to smartphone.

In other news, looking forward to seeing the screen on this phone. If its anywhere near as good as the one on the One X, then I'll probably get it. Otherwise, I may just wait for another phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mastamoon:
My sgs3 unlimited data locker should be here next Friday. Should I activate it before swapping at vzw corporate or bring it unopened? Hope it works.. 3 different phone csr's told me that its not possible.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
If you bring it unopened I hear you can get around the 30$ upgrade fee.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Sorry, I missed your post earlier.

I was able to exchange my Rezound (purchased on 6/26) for the DInc 4G without a single problem. My unlimited data plan is intact. :) Took fifteen minutes tops, and I had a nice chat with the employee too about Samsung vs. HTC.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
U able to keep the earbuds and exchange just the rezound itself out or u req to bring everything box and all in the store to swap it out?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] HTCVzw:
I found the DINC 4G for $99!

I came across this site this morning. So I bought my phone for $99. :D Its that price for an upgrade or new line of service! mobile.geigerint.com:cool:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
I brought everything back. I knew I was going to exchange the phone so I didn't bother using the earbuds or even unpacking the box.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
LOL. I did the exact same thing.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nattygirl:
Has anyone who preordered the S3 through Verizon, tried to upgrade to an Inc 4G, through Verizon customer service? I spoke with online chat (I know... they don't know anything) and the guy told me that I could still get the Inc and keep my unlimited. When my local store opens up, I'm going to give them a call and see what they have to say about, but just curious if anyone has already tried this.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
just ordered mine from letstalk.com

was $39.99 for line upgrade, but use code DROID20 to save 20 bucks and it came to $19.99

now comes the waiting for shipping :eek:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] motoman501:
Thanks for the info nitsuj17. Just ordered one, delivery on Tuesday. Couldn't pass this up for $20.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
yeah i couldnt believe it...should be here tuesday!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] maqsur:
Nice catch! I'm up for upgrade on one of my lines in 2 weeks, so I went ahead and bought the phone outright. Will use my upgrade at a later date for wifey. :) Besides, at 499, not bad for full price (considering razr, etc, are like 650).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
Can't you sell it in Ebay and save like 100?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nattygirl:
Not sure how that would be possible. A new incredible off contract will cost me $500 plus dollars. Already spent $330 on the Galaxy S3. That means I would have to sell it for $930 in order to save $100. Don't think that's going to happen.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] icon123:
Nm
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
oh, I see, I thought you bought it for the $200 thinking I could sell it for $550 or $600. That is what I planned to do. I asked verizon via chat a couple times prior to 6/28 if I could exchange and keep unlimited and they said no everytime. Ofcourse I asked if I would be able to keep my unlimited if I bought from best buy and was told yes by one rep and no by another. That scared me into just buying from verizon directly.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Senryo:
From what I've seen, it's not technically illegal unless there's a state law prohibiting phone modification I don't know about. It is against the terms of use though, so you'd probably get the boot if you get caught.

I was thinking the same thing =)

Though it feels like a delay because Verizon just keeps not releasing the phone. I have to keep reminding myself that any date I see is speculation/imaginary and not official. This way Verizon could wait indefinitely to release it though. :mad: I want to hold this thing in my hand already!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
I don't care if it's illegal or not... it's a **** move either way. Verizon has the best network around and if people want to use it, you gotta put up with Verizon's customer-hating bull**** like the rest of us do. No free rides! lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
If it doesn't release by June 7, then we can safely assume its been delayed because Verizon stated it was to be released "in the coming weeks". It may have been originally been slated to be released on May 17 but delayed because of the customs issue.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheAndroidSwap:
Maybe, since the phone runs Sense 4, but it could also be a strategic maneuver by Verizon. They are currently running a double data LTE promotio, possibly to offload Rezounds and RAZRs before the Incredible 4G and Galaxy S3 come out.

I'm getting kind of irritated at the lack of information on this device tho. No scheduled release date, no detailed specs, no reviews from sites that get the phones early. Since they already announced the phone at CITA, they could at least keep the customers updated almost 3 weeks later.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
There is no "maybe" that this phone was held up at customs. It has the Sense UI which means it was infringing on the patent like the other phones that were held up. Unless the phone actually was never delayed and will come out next week or the next and it isn't affected by the customs issue at all.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheAndroidSwap:
It seems like everyone knows these release schedules. Do phones come out on Thursday or something?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
At least on Verizon, yes
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
A member on Android Forums says he knows someone who works for the company and the new release date is June 21st. Take this with a grain of salt, but... ANOTHER MONTH?!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] doeboy711:
I love the different rumors that start everyday lol. This is becoming almost as bad as the SGS3 specs release rumor trail lol. I hope it comes out this coming week so I can jump ship from Sprint to Verizon.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
In which case, see ya all later! I can live with my Dinc2 for another year. I'll see what's in store in 2013.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] slacka-vt:
So if the Inc4G doesn't come out in the next 5 days, you're not going to get another device until next year ?!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
That is not the next 5 days.. That is another month we are talking about. This is starting to sound like the Bionic. What if something more brilliant is just round the corner (like the Razr in the case of Bionic)? It always is, but you wouldn't like it if you get a better deal in just under a week right?

Anyway, Android marketplace is a big gamble, unlike Apple. Frankly, the Dinc4GLTE, after you settle down and think about it, is a very modest upgrade... Had the Dinc2 been a dual core phone (and it very well could have as other manufacturers were releasing dual cores at the same time) you probably wouldn't be considering it, would you? Phones will be ready to outgun this in a heartbeat. The current gen of S4's is not fully baked, with only the Adreno 225... I feel if the delays prolong, I might as well wait for my upgrade date in April, given that a new breed of awesome phones will be out by then, and they will be mindbogglingly better to justify a jump from the Dinc2. The Dinc2 is good as it is, and I am pondering if I should just wait longer to get a better phone.

After all, I am a budget conscious student here, and I need to weigh in the fact that I need to get this off contract. So, that means factoring in yet another month or two of waiting for the price to go sufficiently low for my light wallet to not want to hang itself. At that rate I would be getting ever closer to my end of contract... Or towards the release of a better phone (Nexus anyone? :)) So ya see... why break my head when I can just shut the hell up and try my luck on say the Nexus jellybean at the end of my contract! Then I can say to you all, are you jelly while u wait for HTC to give it to ya!!! :D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] slacka-vt:
Yeah, I hear ya. I'm not illegible until April, 2013 also. I do have about 8 upgrades on my work's corporate account I could use for a "buddy upgrade" but I definitely want to use it on something worth while. Otherwise, I'll just wait it out. August is a long way out for some official ICS on the DInc2 though . . .:(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
With any luck, the Chinese will help us out here! :D (you must have seen that thread at Dinc2 General)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheAndroidSwap:
June 21st is a ways off... still I see no other player in the Snapdragon S4 + ICS + <4.5" IPS LCD game.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
If you're on Verizon, you could stop at Snapdragon S4
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
I guess we will find out June 7 if its been delayed again. I went on the Verizon sales rep chat on their site to see if any of them perhaps knew something or had any inside information, and I got the following release dates: May 31st, June 7, and "sometime in June"

I'm very disappointed if I have to wait another month for the phone, especially since we don't know when those shared data plans take effect.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
Wouldn't it be nice if the agents actually knew what they are talking about? :eek:

Of course since no release date has been given is it really delayed? I mean they said weeks, but never how many.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
+1. At least the customer service rep I talked to on the phone didn't feign knowledge of the release date. She said the computer simply says, "in the coming weeks"... :rolleyes: But all in all, I am generally happy with VZW customer service. I have no experience with other carriers, but so far they have been helpful and gave me a Dinc2 in place of my damned DX2... :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Most of them had no idea, but you have to remember they all work for Verizon. At least a few of them must have connections inside the company and have at least heard rumors of a release date. Also, the whole customs issue has probably delayed the phone. But how long we have no idea. It could still make that "in the coming weeks" time frame, or it could be delayed another month (maybe more! D:)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] doeboy711:
Well if the Evo 4G LTE is already out and in people's hand, so should this phone since it was based on the HTC software and not the phone itself.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Only for people who pre-ordered it. It isn't for sale in stores yet.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
It was in todays Best Buy ad. Don't know if they actually have them in the store or not though.

Either way, if people are receiving them, the customs issue must be solved (at least for that phone)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
FYI: http://androidcommunity.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-cleared-from-customs-shipping-on-thursday-20120521/ Dunno how you guys missed this on the radar...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
We knew about this. The phone was shipped to people who pre-ordered it. You still can't just walk into a Sprint store and buy the Evo 4G LTE, and you can't just walk into an AT&T store and buy the One X. They're still not up for purchase yet.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Div033:
Yes, it was cleared but the only people who received the phone were people who pre-ordered. There's still no actual release date for when it'll be available to the rest of the public. Plus for whatever reason the One XL isn't cleared yet.

I believe Verizon is waiting for all of this nonsense to clear up before they ship the device and they will not hesitate to use that as an excuse. However, more likely is the fact that the device simply isn't ready for mass consumption yet and it will be a while before we see it. I'm sure you all know how long Verizon can take to bring a handset to market (Bionic, Galaxy Nexus).

My bet is on mid July.

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] doeboy711:
The orignal date for the release was June 7th, but they moved it up for the pre-orders because it cleared all of it's checks early. So that's why people received them 2 weeks early. It should be available in stores soon IMO. If I had decent to moderate signal around my house, I would stay with sprint and get the new Evo since I just got my ETF waived from Sprint :D.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
I was thinking that too. Verizon just might use this all as an excuse to push back the phone til after the data sharing comes out. In that case I'll either get the Nexus, or jump to sprint and get the Evo 4G LTE. I don't quite know what you mean by "the device isn't ready for mass consumption yet", they've had this phone finalized for months.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Div033:
You sure about that? I keep remembering the unveiling news stories explaining the reps kept reiterating that the firmware wasn't final and to withhold final judgment.

To me, that means it isn't done yet.

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Hardware has been final for a long time, and they said the software wasn't neccessarily final. It looked nearly complete though, and obviously they released that "in the coming weeks" statement because they knew it was near final. The software looked pretty much final to me, I assume they were telling people that in case they found any bugs or discrepancies. This phone passed the FCC in early March, and people said they handled the phone in early April and it looked final to them.

Edit: New release date to throw around for you guys: June 28

A guy posted a comment on an article on TechnoBloom claiming he worked for Verizon and that the date had been set back tenatively to June 28 due to signal issues on the device. So take it with a grain of salt but I'm expecting the worst now. All I want now is for this phone to be out before the shared data plans take effect. That's all I want.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Might I suggest a spoonful of salt?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AndrewGL:
Sounds like a troll to me... An uncertain release date coupled with many high anticipating fans sounds like a troll attracting combinations to me =(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] NightxFall:
Possibly. But he could be right.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] The Archangel:
Did someone say troll :D?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LyndenP:
I'm going to throw ths out there.

I can say with a pretty high degree of certainty that it will not be on May 31st...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] doeboy711:
I just got off the phone with my local Verizon store and they said it's very doubtful that it will come out this week since they have not received any info or promotional gear for it so far. He sounded like he really needed someone to join Verizon and wanted my email and # so that he could update me on when it comes in. I told him I would switch over to Verizon once the phone came out. It's a shame cause I really want out of Sprint. I'm just itching to get out lol.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LyndenP:
This.

No promo material or anything. I check everyday. As soon as I see anything, I'll let you guys know...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] enderblue:
Updated Reason for Delayed release

FWIW, I called the local Verizon store and the guy said they were told the delay was related to issues with making it Global ready LTE phone. So, I am guessing they decided to have it global ready on release, rather than worry about sending out an update.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
id be skeptical of that, since a software update could fix that post launch (like their doing with rezound, razr etc)

but weirder things have happened
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] icon123:
Great. Tons of post asking if this rom supports GSM. I thought we could leave that behind with the inc2.
