8 things I learned at Best Buy & Verizon today

I'll be surprised if it gets released on or before the 26th.

What... Verizon's release date is going to be controlled by the expiration date of a Best Buy sales flyer???

I have to say, I've had this Dinc for 3 days now, and I'm actually getting kind of attached to it

You have no idea how much better this phone is than the craptastic LG Dare I've been saddled with the past two years.

I'm honestly wondering if I should even bother with the TBolt. If it comes out within my 14-day window, I'll definitely check it out, but if it doesn't, I may just hold onto the Dinc for a year and not look back.

I know the TBolt will be faster, but the Dinc doesn't feel the slightest bit slow, even when streaming YouTube videos over 3G. The form factor is pretty nice except for the camera bump on the back, and it's pleasantly light and pocketable. One thing I would need to do if I don't trade up for the TBolt is buy an SD card. The Dinc comes with a pathetic 2 GB SD card. The battery life is also pretty bad, though I don't think the TBolt will be much better.

I'd suggest checking out the Incredible 2 coming soon. It should arrive sometime in late March/early April. Its essentially the Thunderbolt with a 4" display and much better battery life.

I'm getting closer and closer to waiting for the DInc2 instead of buying the TB. 4G isn't a huge deal for me, nor is the kickstand, and I can deal with 0.3" less of screen real estate.

Not to mention that the DInc2 should be cheaper.

Any true specs on the Dinc2?

4G is a big deal for me, if there isnt an additional surcharge, since it is available in my market. The sculpted back on the Inc also bothers me too.

It's supposed to be nearly identical to the Incredible S.

HTC - Products - HTC Incredible S - Specification

Can't really say "true specs" due to lack of documentations. lol.

But its essentially a Thunderbolt minus the 4G, kickstand and 4" display with a longer battery life. Also, it's Global.

If you guys don't really want to deal with the premium pricing on something you wouldn't even be able to use; eg 4G. I'd really consider getting the Incredible 2.

I can't imagine it would be close to the S. The Dinc already has 8gig, why go back to 1 gig internal? Not 4G? I might consider the dinc2 if specs are better..I love my current dinc. But thunderbolt still has my attention..

I would love to have waited, but my old phone died so I needed a new phone ASAP. It looks like all the new phones are going to come out after my 14 days is up, so I'll have to stick it out for one year.

It has 1.1GB of secure internal storage, 8GB of shared storage. That's not including a micro SD card.

If I already had a DInc I doubt I would get a DInc 2, but as someone who is currently using a BB Curve and who doesn't necessarily require 4G speeds the DInc 2 is mighty tempting.
