Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

[chuk1005]

Still - it would be very foolish of Verizon to go into the Holidays without a top tier handset for the touch screen crowd. They risk losing los of customers that are coming off contract this fall/winter.

Yeah id be surprised if no flagship device is launched for the holidays unless they think the D2 Global is flagship.

I agree, but here's a thought. Let's assume all the rumors about the iPhone coming in Jan/Feb are true. Despite what many of us feel, VZW is going to sell a boatload of those devices and have a huge marketing push. Now if VZW introduces some truly flagship devices before the iPhone release, they may think that they won't sell well due to people holding off to check out the iphone. If this is true, it would make sense to wait for VZW to incorporate LTE into these phones so that it would differentiate them from the iphone and would not cannibalize iphone sales. Don't forget that VZW doesn't really care what phone you buy, but that you're signing up for an expensive data plan. By keeping the iphone4 on its 3G network, it allows many people to have a highend smartphone with a reasonable data price. When LTE comes out, I'm sure data packages will be more expensive and allow the hardcore users to buy higher end android devices which will allow VZW to make more money off new plans/packages which is why they would delay the DINC HD and stick an LTE radio in it. A 3G DINC HD isn't enough of a change from an EVO to make people switch to VZW who haven't done so already.

Not only verizon but I think the manufacturers (eg HTC) are worried about the iphone and feel the only way to keep sales would be to go the LTE route since the iphone wont be 4G, that would explain the merge being pushed back...and likely the DincHD as well.

Folks that latch on to what a person says they heard and then extrapolate vague if nothing information and then read into reps that say "no" as "they are hiding something, or do not know yet" are the reason shows like Ghost Hunters does so well. You manifest nothing into something you think is real. Nothing suggests a pre-order, but that does not mean end of month for December launch.... always a chance, but X is still selling well.

THERE IS NOT A PRE-ORDER FOR AN INC HD ON 11/12

BTW, Ghost Hunters IS on tonight

I'm outside your window.

That is impressive given the fact that I am 11 floors up looking down over water.

 

[chuk1005]

It seems the Incredible HD and the Merge are both being pushed to Q1 2011 in favor of LTE. The Merge being the first VZW LTE device, followed shortly by 3 other HTC devices in Q1 alone.

Yeah we were just discussing this.

Hopefully Miami gets on and clears some of this up today.

This is the problem. WE DON"T KNOW ANYTHING!!!! We just have some peoples 2nd hand words of what others say. I could go on twitter and type that the DINC HD is coming the day after Thanksgiving, but it doesn't make it true. Also people who work at VZW who think they're in the know aren't always in the know.

He seems to be a reliable source. Also, most seem confident that theres just the one device thats going to be LTE. I would wait till the end of the month before assuming, but this phone is likely to not hit shelves till the beginning of the year.

Maybe he is only testing the LTE version?

I don't believe he has tested or seen the Incredible HD. His source is according to someone in HTC who has been around the phone and the Merge and the IncHD were originally launching the 23rd, but changed in favor of LTE. Very unlikely their's a 3G version, but trust me, I want them to prove wrong.

I'm playing nice and this a warning... watch the insults and language.

We are told from a more reliable source - "Preorders start on Friday"

Everyone celebrates

A random poster who has no inside connections - "I don't think they will release two devices, it will probably just get pushed out for LTE"

All the sheep on this board - "OMG IS THAT TRUE???? MIAMI PLEASE SAY IT ISN'T SO! MIAMI OH MIAMI, WHEREFORE ART THOU MIAMI?!?!"
