Gorgeous, mysterious, EVO-ish HTC device headed for Verizon

What's up guys. I am new to this forum and figured I would introduce myself. I have been on Hofo for 5 years and I got by the same name. Been a smartphone user for about 8 years that encompass Symbian, iOS, WebOS and Android.

Android devices I have owned (in no particular order)
LG Ally
HTC Eris
HTC Incredible
Motorola Droid
Motorola Droid X
Samsung Fascinate

Best of the bunch IMO?? The X (SLIGHTLY over the Incredible simply because of the screen size).....

Wow. You made my job easier. I'll do whatever you do :)

I'd say an uncertainty in the release date is causing the delay on information. We all know verizon likes to lock-in it's release dates, and it wouldn't be wise to have too much out there on something that may not hit its intended target.

Best of the bunch IMO?? The X (SLIGHTLY over the Incredible simply because of the screen size). I do agree the Incredible is absolutely the smoothest out of all. No lag whatsoever. With Launcher Pro, my X is 99.6% lag free. Someone mentioned the Fascinate had the best camera. I couldn't help but chuckle. The Incredible has the best camera, followed oh so close by the X, then the Fascinate. I personally thing the TFT screen on the X is better than the SuperAMOLED on the Fascinate. The Incredible's screen can be difficult to see in sunlight.

Very interested in the Incredible HD, although it is going to have to be special to sway me from the X. I have No Lock installed, and I don't ever have to swipe to unlock or answer...just press any of the 4 hard keys, the camera key or the top power button and it automatically wakes my phone up. I have grown very accustomed to that :)

Some interesting comments in this thread, bashing and praising this Mr. Miami. I know how it is when it comes to wanting a new gadget, and I will leave it at that.

My current set up is my X and also have a Fivespot that I use with my iPad on Verizon's new tiered data package - 3GB for $35 a month.

Jkhonea, I live right down the road from you...on the other side of Conyers.

Now waiting for Dinc HD & Merge before I put the flip back in the drawer. Just like you I buy, play, then sell to buy and play with the next one. Slowing down a bit though.
 
I really think Verizon doesn't want this leaked until November (Monday). If for nothing else, its a mind thing. Tomorrow is a holiday so I don't expect anything.

I am not even sure what I am waiting for. We have already seen pics, the date has been all but confirmed, and we know the specs are basically the Desire HD. Now it's become just an OCD/principle thing to keep checking. Ugh. I really wish I had a life and wasn't a smart phone addict.


Here's a question that might be relevant to some while we are waiting:

(1) Regarding the Verizon Annual Upgrade: Mine is Dec 2nd--how flexible are they if I , for example called and asked for them to bump it up a couple days to like Black Friday....etc?


(2) Another question: If you sell your phone to a private party, how to do you disable your info and stop your phone number from being ported over? Or do you have to buy the NEW phone first?

I am sure some of us getting the DINC HD will have to worry about these things, so let's gets these questions out of the way?


(1) The early annual upgrade is a tough sell. Even if it is a few days. They use to let you do it especially if you threatened of switching to an iphone, but lately they have been really tough. Its probably twice as hard to upgrade to the newest or hottest phoen. I tried to upgrade from a Storm to the Tour when the Tour first came out and they basically told me to go ahead and leave. I even tried to say that I would downgrade my plan to a regular phone, go to my old Razr, and drop the blackberry plan which they would lose revenue. I got nothing.

(2) You buy the phone and they port the number over for you. Let them bring all of your information (contacts, etc) to your new phone, then wipe the phone or reset to factory settings. Then sell the phone.
 
Okay, seeing as how the information has been delayed so many times, I am confidant that we will see an article on BGR tomorrow morining around 9-10 with everything in it including photos, release date, specs etc,. If miami made some extra money off this stuff, then thats awesome. Monday is better than nothing! Heres hoping:)

It would seem you went from the Fascinate to the X. How do you feel about that decision? I have had enough issues with the Fascinate that they are sending me another one but I am still thinking I should get the X.
 
It has been real easy for to upgrade to new droids. I know the managers well by now and they are flexible. If you call verizon, you won't get that option.

They also have an option to renew early to a 1 year contract. Not sure what they call it-lost or stolen renewal or something. I did this with my original droid.
 
I don't think that there is any uncertainty in the release date or issues with the Verizon reps. I think from the beginning they had no intention of releasing information before November. If we see something today I will be surprised. I feel for Miami as they have really jerked him around through all of this.
 
@caddy

Yeah, thats why I said tomorrow. It's the first of november, and they are trying to clear out as much dinc inventory as they can(increased advertising) before they launch the new one. I do wish they would've told miami monday to start with tho. I think that would've been much more tactful, although I can almost understand. They don't really wanna aknowledge more than they have to so saying "okay well let you tell all some time tonight" over and over again is easier than saying "yeah well make an announcement on monday." Either way, I have a feeling it will be worth the wait.:)
