Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

[bd1212]

I just want to let everyone know that Black_Man_X is a VZW engineer, while Miami's TWO sources, which he had a meeting with during our chat, are MUCH higher up on the VZW ladder than him, therefore I believe that Miami knows what he is talking about and is much more credible. I would take what Miami says over Black_Man_X's any day.

I believe there will be a 3g version released around November 23, and later on, there will be an upgrade to 4g or the Droid Incredible HD 2.0 will be released (Which Black_Man_X is talking about).

Not sure how both will play out yet....bklackman x is a relaible source also.. I have sent an email and been in contact tonight with the VZW CC as well...

As soon as I know for sure. I will post it up..nothing more to do for now but wait it out with you guys

Well said.

This phone is a Unicorn.

Well, whatever the specs are (We have a basic idea: See Desire HD w/ FFC), whatever the 3G/LTE status is, I think the obsession of this thread is that this phone will be out on (or around) November 23rd. From this point on, that is all I care to know. We are close enough to this date that (if true) pics will be coming from multiple sources very soon. And as far as specs, it would be nice if there was a surprise or two. I think the biggest surprise would be if it is LTE but that just doesn't make sense unless it is a second phone -- or perhaps Verizon is keeping a REALLY huge secret about LTE rollout dates, etc

I agree with the LTE part.

"he confirmed the one he has is not LTE so thats why i really want to hear from him on this situation.."

Miami HAS the phone already?

yes! he has had one.. thats how he got pics, ones he took himself.

Maybe he has am early non-production model and they don't want him commenting until he has played with what will actually be released. That could reconcile the 3G vs LTE rumors.

possibly but i dont think they would make him sign an NDA over him releasing info on a phone that wont exist, this forum is not an official source of news so why would they care?

Ehhh, fair point. On the other hand, I wouldn't want erroneous information out there. It could create confusion for the consumers.

For those of us that don't like motoblur and don't want to root their phone...if this device doesn't go on sale in the next few weeks rather to become an LTE device for 2011 - VZW will offer no really good options.

What about the original incredible, or the samsung fascinate?

Exactly CTS... VZW hasn't or doesn't have any official plans to release a new high end fully touchscreen device. They have to have something announced soon right? Or are they just going to ride the phones they released back in the early summer. Now that I think of it all we have got since the early summer is the Galaxy S, and we all know what a debacle that thing was (is). I'm not going to by a phone with old technology when i know their are phones with the latest and greatest already out (G2, MT4G)

Lol

@viper1549 there is a 3g version. Been in testing for awhile. But why purchase it when the real deal is coming. Radios are easy swap

@viper1549 a 3g evo is a nice device but wld you want it if u knew a 4g version was coming? Its about saving upgrades

sorry should of included what i told him..

@black_man_x some other ^end VZN reps seem pretty confident a 3G version of the inc HD will be out this month, can you say anything on that?

 

[kodiak799]

VZW isn't in the business of selling phones for profit. It only matters to them in so far as gaining/losing new customers to rivals AT&T and Sprint. VZW still has a number of excellent phones, and they don't make money with existing customers just upgrading phones There is no incentive, no profit, to VZW with all these existing customers clamoring for the latest and greatest.

But it's not going to matter - LTE is a game changer. Would not shock me to see a promotional offer to pre-order an LTE DInc and they throw in one of the older phone for $50-$100 to tide you over a few months.
