Question for the preorder guys...

The phone is supposed to arrive by the 29th right? Or does it SHIP on the 29th?
Click to expand...
That's what they said, but mine as well as many others will be arriving tomorrow the 28th!
 
Yeah, my pre-order directly from VZW shipped Sunday and will be here Wednesday (tomorrow) so the 29th date doesn't apply to either ship date or arrival? lol
 
I don't understand WTF is going on with verizon. It processed couple of days ago and still no tracking #.
 
I sure would like to pick mine up today from the sort facility though! Wonder if they'll let me...

I don't think I'll ever get happiness out of a phone. Mostly, that comes from being outside AWAY from gadgets, lol.

I had actually gone back to the DROID and aside from warming my ear up on a phone call, I had resigned to keeping it. After all, it's a pretty good little device. Had the Incredible not come out before my 30 days were up, I'd of kept it. And if it's anything like my buddy's Nexus One, I'll enjoy it even more as I much prefer the slimmer, lighter formfactor.

The Storm 1 was my first smartphone...evil bitch. :p The Tour was...well...still a Blackberry. The Pre felt/sounded like a toy. The Eris was great, just too slow and too small. The DROID pretty much rocked. Verizon has just been stepping it up lately w/ plenty of options. Who knows, maybe we'll see an iPhone before too long! :eek:

What phone did you end up with again?

The sprint tour (its in the sig). I love it and if this phone (evo 4g) would not been announced, i would have rocked my tour for another year. But since im a premier customer, i can upgrade every year and im planning on jumping on this. The new tour (bold 9650) doesnt impress me too much to even consider the upgrade price.
 
Ah, missed it. Sprint really hooks it up.

Can't pick up the phone until it hits my local city sort, which might be today. I love the days leading up to a new gadget. :D Hopefully an [H]er will get one soon and post some impressions!

The phones not released until the 29th... You just pre-ordered.

The incredible really is an awesome phone, it's probably the best smartphone out right now. HTC's leap feature is super cool and the phone is super-fast.

PM me whichever email address you want me to use (I always get them mixed up) and I'll hook you up with the Swype beta app...I don't even miss my hardware keyboard after it. It's an amazing form of text input.

You'll be doing 70wpm on your phone after a week of getting used to it.

Very cool. When Paul said you were getting one , I just had to. I got 375 for my TP2 today and will pick mine up at the warehouse in the afternoon. Pics tomorrow night if I can find the time I will compare her next to a Droid :D

How the hell did you get $375 for your tp2? :eek: I only got $330 minus ebay fees....just ended a few minutes ago.

I just wish fedex would hurry up! I haven't been so impatient for something in a while.

BTW here's a nice tip I found on the incredible forums - the shipping battery is way underpowered for the Incredible. However, the TP2 battery is identical in physical dimensions and is confirmed to work in the Incredible - it has an extra 200ma of power and should last a good deal longer. This is nice because you can pick up genuine OEM TP2 batteries for $15 on ebay and you don't need the extended cover back so you don't give up any thickness.

The advantages of retail; he got personal treatment with his phone set up including all contacts, video and pictures transferred from his old omnia, full warranty , and piece of mind for 400 out the door. Oh, and the retail box gives him a 100 rebate. ;)

preordered mine from verizon for $99.99 :D

Nice, I always have to pay full price ( around $520 for this one) but I have a demo line so it cost me nothing for data, voice and text. Of course , I got 375 for my TP2 so I will just be paying the difference.

Battery life is REALLY bad from what people are reporting

http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/68765-battery-bites-after-week-trying.html

I'm going to order a Touch Pro 2 battery to use in it (1500ma vs the stock 1300ma). If that can't get me through a day I'll have to go with the 2150ma extended.

Other than that, I haven't seen a single complaint about the phone, which is incredible for an enthusiast forum that picks things apart like this.

That guy's phone is not right. The unit should last about 12 hours give or take

Tried to pick it up today, but VZW requires a 1st attempt @ the address before pick up. :(

What about this Seido 1750 mAH on Amazon for $43 bucks? I think I might give that a shot.

Tell us more about Swype!

Also, do you guys charge your phones right away or just run w/ em? Normally, I'm particularly cautious about that, but my bro (battery expert) thinks I'm crazy. I think I might just use it out of the box this time and charge it whenever it's convenient instead of maintaining a rigorous use, deplete to 30%, charge overnight, repeat for 5 days policy. :p

You're crazy. Modern lithium chemistry batteries are pretty resilient, they are not at all similar to the NiCd days of old. The things to watch out for to prolong life are heat, full discharge cycles, and to a lesser degree, maintaining the battery fully charged.

This article is designed for EE's, but the page 1 & 2 cover the basics of LiIon chemistry and what factors affect lifetime:

I think driving my car around in 115 temps w/ the phone mounted in the windshield will probably do more damage anyway, lol. Oh summer...go away. :D
 
Delivered...but I have to stay patient and wait until after work to play..

Did you get an email or something?
 
Wow, just wow. This thing is faster than I could have imagined

Pinch to zoom is super smooth. This is the best virtual keyboard that I have ever used. Pic when I get home!
 
/jealous

Pic now! Impressions at least! Live stream! Let's go!

Is the viewable screen width larger than the DROID?! Or is it narrow and funky?!
 
lol I am in my car so no pics yet. The phone feels way better in my hand than the Droid. It is noticeably faster and the touch screen is more responsive. Call clarity great. I had a Droid right on my desk but was so into this thing that I forgot to compare them and take the Droid home to take the comparison pics lol. She feels smaller in your hand. The perfect size if you will
 
I cannot say for sure since I left the Droid at work but I am typing as I wait to pic up my son and the screen feels wider top to bottom
 
Got mine in hand as well, still messing with it getting it set up after switching from ATT....but I'll grab my Mom's Droid and take some shots..
 
I would say my initial impressions can be summed up by, "WOW"....this thing is fast as hell. I came from an HTC Magic running a 2.1 ROM and my god this thing just blows it away...
 
Yes indeedy!!!!

Well off to actually play with this thing now................enjoy your incredible boys and girls

Agree! Agree. Agree! Agree.

-Phone feels solid, not cheap.
-Viewable screen area is wider than DROID.
-Touch sensitivity feels more accurate than DROID.

10 minute unboxing (480p, but still processing):
