1st post!

anyone ordered an inc. online recently? Just wondering about fulfillment and delivery time estimates.
I'm seriously considering breaking my at&t contract to get this phone. I'm big on instant gratification, and want to get the thing quick!

Should be near the end of the month unfortunately well also depends when you ordered it and where

I just got word today that docks won't be available until May 21st, they are only getting 3k so don't expect stores to have them and the next shipment on the extended batteries isn't until June 16th.....

This is the WORST launch of a phone EVER!!!

Thanks.

This phone really was half ***** launched. From the BS rumors of launching it last year to when they just dropped it with little fanfare. I still see more original droid commercials then the incredible commercial, which I've only seen twice on tv.

I don't see the point of more advertising. They can't keep up with demand as it is. Why bother spending money on commercials?

Seriously. Anyone *****ing about the lack of advertising for the phone clearly doesn't understand basic demand (i.e. if you don't have something in stock, don't advertise it...you're just going to piss off any customers who decide to buy it but can't due to stock shortages).

VZWs advertising (or lack thereof) hasn't been the problem, the problem is that they grossly underestimated the demand volume they'd be seeing.

[drhill26]

Really? So let's not advertise the phone at all. That way only the geeks wait for the phone and everyone else goes to AT&T for the new iPhone.

It is a sales person's wet dream to have demand greater than supply. It means every order then send to the manufacturer is already filled.

If people don't know about the phone, they can't buy it, in stock or not.

Last night was the first time i seen a Verizon HTC Incredible Commercial. I've seen many Verizon Android OS/Apps commercials, but last night watching the season finally of HOUSE, the Incredible and Android System/apps shown a few times.

Maybe by creating a shortage of Incredibles/back orders might be a Marketing ploy, people seem to need/want.... a hard-to-get item. Just a thought.

the matter of verizon having the phones hasn't been the issue at all. HTC has been waiting on parts to then finish making the phones. it's a big chain of command. also, you can order them in the store, and most people are getting them fairly quickly, though you will be told it may be up to a few weeks until it arrives.

Did anyone buy a headphone/mic combo for the incredible??

I want to find a good one that works 100% with the phone but cannot... the majority of them only work 100% on the iPhone 3GS. i.e. the volume control does not work on the incredible.

Officially, they're "Beats by Dr.Dre"

WOW, they are expensive too! 120-400 bucks is a bit out of my price range for headsets Lady Gag me with a spoon even designed some, BLECH!

Actually, it looks like there ARE "Diddy Beats" - they're the in-ear version of the headphones. But yeah, thats a bittttt out of my price range. I was looking for more like 65$-90$ headphones.

Even still, does the volume control and "controltalk" features on the Diddy Beats work with Android? I have found 0 headsets that work 100% with Android... of course, I've only looked at 5 or 6 pairs, but still, haha.

If anyone else has a good suggestion, please post!! It's killing me not using the media aspect on my Incredible but I really want to wait and make a good purchasing decision and get something that will last a while.

I have the Tour version of the Beats by Dr.Dre and no they dont fully work with Android but they do sound better then anything Ive heard so far. I dont mind the price if they sound good and are built well, which they are both. I tried about 5 other sets, some cheaper and some more expensive, these were by far the best sounding of them all.
