My Incredible is on its way o.O - Droid Incredible General

Hey guys
My HTC Incredible is on its way, Im upgrading from my Samsung i910... WinMo has always been my thing, but Android seems so much nicer, going to be a learning curve, but any advice or ideas will be welcomed
Thanks and hey everyone btw...

Hi! Mine doesn't ship until the 29th, but I'd also appreciate learning the differences between WinMo and Andriod.
I've really enjoyed the free apps and information this board has provided for my Touch Pro! Thank you.

when did you order yours that it is now on the way? I ordered mine on the 13th and am being told it will be to me by the 1st of June...

I think different dates are scheduled for different areas of the country.
I live in North Carolina and Verizon expects our shipment for online orders by the 29th of May.

It's a canned response. I called Verizon about it - I ordered my phone on the 9th and it never came. lol
If you were to order it today you should see it shipped out by 6/4 according to the detailed specs of the phone. 6/1 if you just look at the Verizon line-up of phones.
It's all confusing. Verizon really should do a better job when launching a new phone!

lol very troo, but i'll get it when i get it i'm excited but i'm patient too, just wondered what it meant lol, cos seemed wierd

yeah- I'm definately NOT patient bc I'm stuck using my wife's old LG chocolate in the meantime bc I already sold my TP2 on eBay. Customer service told me it was no issue to overnight me one so I went ahead and sold mine. When I called asking where my phone was they apologized and said they meant to say it was backordered. Nice going VZW

I learned this the looooooong and hard way. I've spent literally hours on the phone with them and was supposed to receive 3 seperate calls from supervisors bc of how many times they screwed up yet they only called back once. They also told me it was $269 w/ a 1 yr contract, then processed the order and then texted me saying it was $369 w/ a Mail in Rebate. When I called back saying that's not what I was originally told- they told me in a condescending voice 'I can cancel the order if you would like and try to come to a resolve on your issue, but it will extend the wait time of shipping your phone'. What choice do I have but to suck it up bc I NEED this phone for work?? hahaha I just have to laugh at how much it sucks at this point

lol sucks, until i get a tracking number i'm not going to worry about it...

MotoCliq contest- Real or fake?

A few weeks ago "Drizzy" sent a link to a few people about a contest regarding motorola/tmobile and winning a MotoCliq. The link was only supposed to be for employees but I googled for the link and found it, did the quizzes, and now 2 weeks later i got an email saying i won a cliq and that it should be in the mail in a few days. Anyone else do this, or are any others here tmob employees that did the quizzes and won?
Sounds like a scam or fake to me. But wait a few days and see if you get it.

How did you get a valid P-Number?
I was told to just make one up, so I did. I was going to ask ppl that worked for tmob for theirs, but I was in a hurry. It never stopped me in the process so I just kept going. Maybe I got lucky and chose a correct one?

OK cool, I just made one up also.
Did you pick a store number in your area, or just a random one?
i picked the one closest to me, but I had to pick one that was an actual "corporate store" not an authorized seller. So Wally World, Best Buy, and Places like CellularOne, or CellBiz, or OneStopCell (i am making up names) dont count as tmob stores.
how long ago did you do the quizzes? i did them like 2 or 3 weeks ago. got the email today that i was a winner and my phone would be in the mail within a week. I wish i could get a shipping confirmation number so I could track it though!

I think that I did it about 2 or 3 weeks ago as well.
Where did you get the store number? Did you just call the store and ask?
i just googled for tmobile stores, went to the site, searched for my zip code. after the store name there is a number, that is the store number i typed in...
here is the page that came up for my zip- http://locator.t-mobile.com/Locator...=0&searchType=storeLocations&SLU=0&EIP=&DBR=5

You dont find it sketchy that you BOTH won phones? lol What are the odds of that
tmobile is the one that hosted the contest. they gave away something like 250 phones per week. for a 4 week contest.
I did it and didnt win anything. It would seem very plausible that tmobile would want to get this phone into the hands of as many employees as possible so they have one and you want one when you walk up. Either way, it you get a phone you know its legit!
yea, im not an employee though lol. oh well, if i get one, i will post here!
im gonna go ahead and say its pretty legit. i just got my UPS shipment confirmation email. should be here at my house in 3 to 4 days (so monday or tuesday)
I never found this link, someone send me the link... Haha, Maybe its over, but it never hurts to try.
for anyone that wants to go ahead and try it...
LINK REMOVED
Awesome. Thanks for the info.
haha i would have redone it until i got a 100 on both. thats what i did!
what did you guys use for the pin/pass?
you make one up and then later on it gives you a new assigned one, save that one and the passcode, you will need it later

T-mobile delays with latest batch of handsets

I have just spoken with T-mobile loyalty team, I was chasing up where my Leo is. The lady stated there had been some issues with the previous batch of handsets and that further testing was being done before releasing any more devices.
1 Am I being told the truth?
2 How long does this testing take?
3 If problems are found how quickly will T-mobile be able to flash a fixed ROM to all their stock?
4 Will I get my Leo before Christmas?
I would really like to believe that T-mobile are being honest and that very soon I will have my Leo hopefully with all the issues identified on this forum fully resolved.
Am I being naive?
Ordered mine online on Sunday the 29th Nov and recieved it on Thursday 3rd Dec.
I do have a mate that works in T-Mobile and said that as soon as the stock is coming in they are going out just as fast and having worked for a mobile phone company in the past the staff do get told a load of rubbish at times.
I phoned up t-mobile UK today to order one, to be told they were out of stock. A new batch is expected Friday.
I've spoken to o2 at least 8 times today and in one of the calls I was told that part of their problem was having to send all the stock they had,along with returned faulty devices, back to HTC for "repair"...what's that funny smell? is it lamb,fish,bear...no its bull!

This would cost HTC a fortune. I wonder if the repairs are to flash a new ROM ?1.48+ or actual hardware repairs eg. new camera module. Are existing users going to have their handsets recalled? If a handset is "repaired" will it be classed as new or refurbed?
Nah, I smell something too.
It is probably just another example of getting a different response from which ever droid/lovely customers service rep. you speak to. Best just to keep ringing up until you get the answers you want and then believe that person.

i got one online from tmobile bout a week ago and mines running 1.43 and i`v had no major issues with it at all. i`v had to soft reset once due to phone hanging, but believe me its had a good seeing to, i havent put the thing down!!. as for the camera, mines not too bad. got the slight pinkiness problem but nothing that cant be sorted with a few tweaks in the camera settings i`v read about. i think htc mis-judged the demand for them plus some dodgey batches thrown in the mix. good luck on getting one anyway jus keep pestering them!
Just got off the phone with Hayley at T-mobile.
They are expecting 2000 HD2s today and tomorrow. I have been told there are less than 2000 people on their waiting list for HD2 so fingers crossed, touch wood and rub the lucky rabbits foot and I will have my phone within the next 2 days.
Ive been waiting for 2 weeks for my upgrade phone. Every time same story, more expected Friday. And when "I" asked about rumours that there had been some probs with the phones, the lady went off to check with her manager and came back and said, nope, they had only heard wonderful comments about the phone.
Still i'd rather wait for htc to fix any issues if they are doing that right now.

That's interesting. I just got off the phone with Francis at Tmobile. She couldn't tell me anything, except that they'd had a consignment today. No numbers on stock or on how many are waiting for it. Nor how far down the list I was. She did agree that for some reason Tmobile had underestimated the demand for this phone.
I think it might have something to do with the iphone judging by what went on at Voda.
And I've been on the waiting list for 3 weeks and it should have been 4 but they cocked it up. I better get it before Christmas!

I am well and truly p*ssed off. (I hope I wont be edited by a Mod like I have been on the T-mob support forums)
Today I got to speak to Dennis who laughed at the mention of 2000 handsets arriving today. I was lied to yesterday.
No idea when more stock arriving.
No idea when I might receive mine.
No idea about customer service.
No customers if they keep this up.
200 handsets arrived today and after waiting for a month with Vodafone's mis-information, I switched to T-Mobile and bagged one of those 200. It seems the only way to get an HD2 is to show no loyalty and swiwtch providers
I guess I got lucky as I got through to a really helpful saleswoman.
Just buy an unlocked one and get it right away. I did and I'm in the US. Of course I had to have it and paid $875. But it was worth every penny. I use A&tt now but thinking of going to T mobile. BUt since its unlocked i can use it forever anywhere.

Anyone Pre-Order from Rogers?

Just a question for all of those people who pre-ordered online at Rogers.com. When you finish pre-ordering, you should have gotten a confirmation email. Did you get any other emails like a shipping with a tracking number?
I got the confirmation email and that's it. I was just wondering if others is the same as me.
Thanks
Yeah I preordered on april 6. Got a confirmation number in an email right away. I called today and so far no tracking numbers are available. I am waiting till dinner time and Im going to try again. I just want this phone so bad
How did you order it? Every time I try to port my number from Fido it gives me an error. Rogers gives me some BS on the phone and I give up. I think they are goign to show up in the stores on Friday but noone knows. Total bloody incompetence with Rogers once again.

Im adding a line instead of porting over (and keeping the second line to shorten the time between upgrades) but a rep told me you could preorder now and finish up the port after you get the phone. BUT beware Rogers reps are full of bs and you will get different answers everytime you call.
Yea, the rep told me to pre-order with a new number and when I get the phone, phone them and do the port over then.
It just bothers me that there is a possibility of getting the phone AFTER it launches (April 15, 2010). If so, then what's the point of me pre-ordering other than getting the bt headset for free.

What?? If I get it after the 15th I am going to s**t bricks. And people are dissappointed with SE's delays. Its seems like a match made in heaven SE and Rogers lol.
PS: did you see the fine print? Your going to have to wait an additional 2-4 weeks for delivery of the headset.
Sou you get the bluetooth only if you preorder?
And only before April 15?
Yea well HOPEFULLY we all get it ON or BEFORE the 15th. Anyday after that would be stupid. The Rogers stores will probably have it on the 15th since I read some article stating that the phone is shipping to stores. If that's the case, that means even though we preordered, we won't be the first ones to get it =(
Hopefully we get the tracking number soon....
Well, at least you will get the bluetooth for free which means around 70$ saved
I talked to a store today in Calgary here that had a rep in at the time and they said the phones were in shipment right now to the stores for Friday (as stated before). I would rather order it online for the headset but am worried about a delay. You would think you would get it SOONER that way, especially considering they said order it by the 9th for delivery on the 12th LOL. Oh Rogers.
I talked to one of the rep at rogers and they told me they are getting it next month O_O
lol that's totally wrong..
But yea.. I guess the idea of pre-ordering is so that you WILL get it on launch day at least.

Haha, this is good ... for me at least ... i'll have time to decide if is worth to pay 550 + tax to get it.
So I just spoke with a supervisor and he said that he promised me it would be in my hands by this friday. I asked him why I would preorder just so I could get it after everyone else. He responded that for preordering we are getting a $10 activation credit and the headset for free and locking in a "supposedly" better price. And they also said I would get emailed a tracking number as soon as its available. Got my fingers crossed it comes this week!
nice! thanks gavriel18 for the update!
Got a question for you guys again. When you preordered, it asks how you want to ship. It gives you 3 options:
Canada Post
UPS
Saturday service
Which one did you pick? I chose UPS.
lucky for you guys , i dont think i can preorder cause im doing hardware upgrade( only able to do hardware after april 15 ) o_o.. Hmm i should try calling and see what they can do
No prob Tri3dent, I think we're all squirming to get this phone.
And azn youre the lucky one because youre probably going to get your phone first even though I ordered mine within 24 hours of the preorder site going up.
Hey guys, just called into Rogers and they already have the tracking number in their systems. I still haven't received my tracking EMAIL but I do have the tracking number. I will be getting it tomorrow!
Nice what day did you place the order? I didnt get the email yet but Im calling now. Thank you for the update!!
Hey gavriel18, I placed my order on the same day as you. Your phone should be on your way now!

EVO Sells Out In-Store & Online

Engadget is reporting that Sprint has sold out on their initial stock of EVO's for their stores and online, and likely BestBuy and The Shack.
Great news eh?

Every store in Houston sold out within 15 minutes. I was able to convince a best buy employee to give me some poor other guys preorder...

Here was the message
"Sorry, this device is so hot we can't keep it on our virtual shelves.
Check back later - more are on their way!"
Man, I just ordered mine yesterday online and it arrived today (free overnight shipping) ...Phew, that was close!
i had called up 3 different sprint stores and this is what i was told
store 1: sold out, will get new shipment either friday or tuesday
store 2: sold out, taking deposit to reserve one (45 people already on list)
store 3: had few in stock (Silver Spring, MD)

Radio shack is the only place in lower NH i could get on a pre-order list. Comes in Friday
Good thing I ordered mine Sunday.. i received it earlier today!
Here in Ohio no better, Went to best buy with my buddy, was quoted as Evo shippment tomorrow and now it's been moved to a nice lovely ambiguous "sometime from wednesday to friday" Here's hoping sooner rather than later but oh well. Here's hoping we can survive the great evo shortage of 2010! (*side note* kinda regretting not pre-ordering sooner, I was 8 people into the 2nd batch forcing me to wait an extra week. BAH!)
its good news, i just wished they had more accessories on launch day!
Decided to give in and pick one of these up yesterday. Couldnt find one in stock anywhere. This morning I was prepared to call every Radio Shack in the area. The 1st one I called said someone just took themselves off the list and that they had one available. I put my name on it, and picked it up 20 minutes later.
I have 2 friends that got theirs this same way. I did pre order one for my girlfriend though while I was there and she will be getting it on Friday.
I just got mine today and I had to call 8 or so sprint stores to find one in stock, ends up the store I got mine at had 10 in stock still from the first shipment and they had given a lot of their first order of 300 to other area stores. Once I got there it took them about 2 and a half hours to activate the flippin thing, my voice and 4g connected but my 3g never came up, took them forever to sort it out. They actually had to activate two evos to figure the problem out. I got 2 boxes and goodies out of the deal though, I am in the kc area too.
Which Sprint store was this? Im also in the KC area and have a few friends wondering if anyone has them in stock. Sounds like that store may be worth a shot.
argh its sold out online again!! I can't wait any longer!

This EVO Backorder Business Is Getting Rediculous!!!

I'm corporate so I have to go through my Sprint rep (can't get one through a local store), ordered it a week ago today and still no word.
Same here.. but i got on the in-store list as well. My hope is that the wait is due to manufacturing changes and I get a device without all the shortcomings of the earlier devices.

im thinking the same thing, they are probably redoing something along the manufacturing line
I'm waiting for it to be in stock so I can get a replacement evo because of the back light leaking issue I call n it's out of stock every time they said as soon as it goes in stock I can get a replace ment no questions asked
Yeah, but in the meantime they should be knocking out some with the old config (the changes aren't that critical) !!!!! If they wait any longer, the moto x, iphone 4, etc are going to kill their sales numbers. Time is money... hurry up HTC and Sprint!!!!!!

I was on a waiting list at one of the Sprint retail kisoks in one of our malls for an Evo for my dad and I was going to bring him and my mom to my family plan. I called a week and a half ago and got on the list and then I called saturday (8 days later) and they said they'd call me back later that day, I waited 3 hours and they said they were still seeing if they could work something out. I took my parents out to lunch and they place they picked was over near the mall so I decided we should stop by after lunch and see where I was on the list and figure things out. We stopped by and I asked where I was on the list and I was still on the second page. I then said "We are here, you can either call 20 people back on the list today and maybe get one, or you could sell me one right now while we're here. He considered it a second and then said "Ok, I can do that". My mom had though about getting one as well and after she heard him say that she chimed in with "get one for me too". And he did and we walked out 30 min later all set. Just have to realize that they are there to sell phones, so if you find the right guys and show them cash they're much more motivated.
I agree with you man. I ordered from http://shopamerica.htc.com/homebrands/index.htm because on their website, it said they were in stock, so I placed the order that day (FRIDAY), WAS APPROVED NEXT DAY, AND SAID IT WAS READY TO SHIP. It showed my estimated delivery date. Said it would be shipped out Tues (tomorrow) and would arrive Weds since I chose overnight.
I check the status of my order today and to my surprise there is a new tab that says BACK ORDERED. I was pissed off! I called up customer care immediately asking why did they say it was in stock on their website, then all of a sudden today, it says its on back order. The rep told me that "THEY MUST'VE FORGOT TO REMOVE IT FROM THEIR SYSTEM." I'm like wtf kinda bull**** is that? I didn't get any notification, no phone call, no email. I had to find out by checking online. Very unprofessional.
I asked her when I would receive my phone and she told me they would be getting them in stock on Friday the 25th. So I said fine and hung up. Called back up a couple hours later because I initially forgot to ask when I would ACTUALLY RECEIVE IT. Gave the person my info and he then tells me that I wont receive my phone until JULY 1ST. You can only imagine how much more pissed off I was. I told him what the previous rep told me, then he said the earliest you are going to receive your phone is July 1st. I asked him about cancelling my order and he told me it would take 3-5 business days. Then I told him, you can automatically debit my account the day I make purchase, but it would take almost a full week to get refunded? Told him i'd think about cancellign and i'd call him when i've reached a decision.
How can one rep tell me one date, then another rep give me another? That is so rediculous. If I DO NOT receive my phone by the 1st, i'm definately cancelling my order and sticking with T-Mobile. This is rediculous...
yes, but there's a caveat...

On a corporate/business/enterprise account, you can definitely walk into a Sprint store and walk out with anything in there, as long as you are a POC on the account.
HOWEVER...
There's a catch: most sprint stores are privately owned, so any hardware in there has been purchased by the owner from Sprint. Result: the discounts you can get through your rep are unavailable to you in the store, so your account gets charged whatever the store charges, as opposed to the discounted rates for hardware through your rep.

my corp store has them hell so do the 2 local walmarts lol
Sigh...this waiting game is worse than Christmas Eve. I've been on the waiting list with my Sprint store for almost 2 weeks.
Anyone have any inside knowledge as to when the conveyor belt with new Evo's will start moving again?

I did the same thing.
Now that I'm trying to get it exchanged/replaced I called around and found that every Sprint store is sold out but the first 'Mobile Best Buy' (it's a cart in the mall, lolololol) I got a number for, had over ten in stock. Too bad they're still broken so there isn't a point going through the trouble of exchanging it yet.

Actually the Best Buy near me had 4 of them. There are only 2 problems with that:
1) I am buying at full retail price and Best Buy's cost is $499 and they will not price match for non-activated prices.
2) If HTC stopped production to fix some issues then it makes good sense to wait until production starts back up again.
The problem is that I am really impatient!
3 of ours are from spint.com, but sprint 1800 said that I had to wait until sprint.com got more in before I could exchange them, which they haven't gotten any in recently.
They need to hurry up, because at this rate the samsung galaxy s pro is going to be out.
Caught between MIR deadline and 30-day return?
My employer has a sweet deal on the Evo - so I ordered through them on 6/26 - even though it involves the dreaded mail-in rebate. Of course, I'm on backorder. I noticed though, that the MIR form insists that the receipt must show it was purchased by July 10 to be eligible for the MIR. I suspect this is also the date when the 30-day return clock begins. What if the delays are long, and it goes past that date? Does my cost go up $100 due to the problems with their supply chain? If it goes by the date ordered - then is my 30-day return period reduced to nothing?
I'm betting all the new Evos will ship with the new OTA update that breaks root. HTC's big **** you to the community for trying to fix their problems.

What update hasn't broken root? And what update hasn't been hacked again by XDA? This is sort of expected right?

The .6 update didn't break root.
And there have been plenty of updates on other devices that haven't been cracked. Go look at the Hero forum...
