Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

[jkhonea]

Everyone, let's just keep calm.

NICE! :rofl2:

To let some tell it, this is supposed to be some sort of genius marketing ploy. The way I see it, certainty turned to speculation from halloween until now. Now we have a possible two devices, not the initial one, that may be delayed for features that should have already been in place. I'm actually glad to see vzw weighing its options as to whether or not they will implement LTE in the device. Sprint and t-mobile have already dived into 4G, personally i welcome it for big red. I don't mind paying an extra $10-$20 for a few months before LTE hits DC, heck, that's a day or two of lunch to me. Can't wait to see what verizon has in store for me when i upgrade in May, and if this device follows suit with the recently released htc g2, let's just say i hope you all can appreciate a stock experience, the security makes motorola's locked bootloader look like a joke.

Not with all these other high-end devices being released n every other service provider. Everyone seems to forget WP7 was released today. Tmo got their HD7, ATT got their SAMOLED phone from Samsung, and Sprint has the EVO as well as some high-end WP7 phones coming. VZW is behind the ball big time right now as far as new releases goes.

I would have expected vzw to have wp7 before sprint with the microsoft bing deal. But I see wp7 as last gen high end devices same cpu as the n1 no more ram were moving almost two generations ahead as far as cpu and gpu go you will have tegra2 soon this coming spring the dual core omap and msm chips. But back on topic hopefully vzw doesn't screw this phone up or delay it im getting antsy for a new phone

 

[bizzshow]

Oh but I do agree vzw needs to launch some fresh faces and the droid 2 global doesn't count

Yeah, but MS announced that WP7 did not support CDMA a long time ago, and will not until first half of 2011. So that means no WP7 on VZW OR Sprint until next year. Which is why I started looking for a decent android device to begin with. Plus with MS announcing that AT&T to be their "Premier" carrier, they were certain to get the largest variety of phones first.

if only we can do a poll in this thread.

Question: Who thinks the dinc hd is getting release before year end?

Ill start off by saying YES. anyone else?

I just can't see VZW not releasing a high-end, keyboardless, touch screen phone for the holidays. It doens't make good business sense if they didn't.

That might be true, if VZW actually MADE phones.

Verizon doesn't make phones, you're right. But carriers have a large say in hardware design and internals.

yeah I will be very sad if they delay till spring. I need vzw service now, not next year lol! I dont even care if its not much faster than the dx, I basically want the evo/desire hd on verizon! If they released this now, then released a upgraded LTE version in march that wouldnt be smart for them.

Reasoning being, there would be a lot of angry adoptors of the 3g device who all of a sudden their new phone being less than 6 monts old is already obsolete by its younger brother. I know that would prob piss me off too. Just saying.

I'm thinking they should just wait until spring, and launch the LTE/dual core/ ultra high tech version. Or launch the 3g now then wait till this time next year for the lte version.

Well - think about the Droid2. They released it and then just a few months later released the Droid2 Global. So - they (VZW) have released updates to a device in short order before.

At the end of the day it is about keeping existing subscribers and adding new ones. Right now VZW biggest user group coming up on their two year contracts are those that (like me) jumped on the Storm bandwagon back in November 2008. Many of us are waiting either until our contract is up or we have another high end device to make us stay with VZW. Had we wanted the DINC, DX or Fascinate we would have already done that...but many of us are waiting for something just like the DINC HD.

I will be free to pick up an iPhone in two weeks if I choose but would rather stay for the DINC HD. If it is pushed back - they (VZW) sure as heck better give us a date for when the LTE version will be released.

Now...the only silver lining to a push scenario would be them announcing an LTE phone in December and make the DINC HD it. That would be worth the wait for sure and would give VZW a huge bump up in subscribers going into the end of the year.

i still have high hopes or they wouldnt be so strict with Miami.. just sad and humorous that yet again we hear "this weekend" and then "monday" and now its "tuesday or wednesday" or "by weeks end" its so funny... not complaining, im really pointing out how hilarious it is.. haha

Hopefully they will tell you. But don't wait to find that out before posting any other goodies for us today or tomorrow!

I don't find it hilarious at all!

The way VZW has been jerking Miami and us for that matter around really has me ready to leave them if they don't get this phone out before Christmas.

...did anyone else eligible for an upgrade get a request for a survey from VZW?

The gist of it was "why haven't you used your upgrade?" One of the responses possible was "I want an iPhone." There was also a write-in segment where you could state things like, "I want an LTE device."

No I didn't get a survey - was this electronic or by snail mail? I would have written in the HTC DINC HD as the reason I am waiting.

It arrived via email. The "other" option with write-ins was the best part....
