Ask us about the Verizon Droid Incredible

[madkayaker]

Oh, and do they charge State sales tax if you order online?

Yes, they do. I live in NY and they charged me NY sales tax. Hopefully you don't live in CA though...there you have to pay Sales Tax on the full retail price, not the upgrade, even if you're getting the upgrade!

? on gmail accounts

new to droid and getting the incredible but was wondering if i will be able to sync multiple gmail calendars with this phone? if anyone can help that would be great thanks

 

[moosc]

What about BOGO? I SEE VZW is having one will DI be included?

I couldn't find this in this thread at least, but does anyone know how long Verizon is taking to ship pre-orders? If I ordered Monday morning, would I get it before the Thursday release? Oh, and do they charge State sales tax if you order online?

Pre-orders will ship out on the 28th. If you got overnight shipping you should have the phone on the 29th. (Use FreeOverNt promo code to get free overnight shipping.)

If you chose two-day shipping you should get it on the 30th.

Note that signature is required for delivery. I'm having mine delivered to my office because no one would be at my house to sign for it.

Order Number: 327388

I'm still seeing this -

Order Status: Your order has been processed. You should receive your order within 2 - 3 business days.

I really do hope that reports of Monday shipments are accurate. Would love to get the new Inc up and running asap.

I'm in CA and got stuck with a huge tax, as you mentioned. You're telling me that buyers in other states didn't get stuck with the same thing?!?

lol. everything is ALWAYS more expensive in Cali. crap!

Can the incredible actually use a 32gb memory card? All I've seen is that it can only use a 16 gb. This is an important consideration for me. Thanks a lot!

How do the apps transfer?

I imagine that it is easy to move my SD card from my Moto Droid to a Droid Incredible.

How do I transfer the apps? How do the paid apps attach to the phone? (I hope that it is by phone number or email address.)

Thanks

good question..... I would like to know this too. can I also have multiple gmail accounts in an email reading app?

 

[1Adawg]

I am anxious to get the Incredible in my hand to compare to the Eris at which I fell in love with at first...... slow response on 1.5 is unforgiving though.....Sounds like there is no comparison...

 

[BathroomTile]

it should be as resistant as the N1 and iphone, but not as resistant as the droid.

You say "should" here, but can it be confirmed that the Incredible's screen as scratch-resistant as the N1's gorilla glass? I used the search function and looked through the FAQs and such, but I haven't found anything that confirms this (unless I missed something, which if that's the case then my bad).

 

[bkdencer]

I need to use the phone as a modem. What app will let me do that?

 

[altezzaboy03]

I am currently a Storm 1 user and have been waiting for this phone...

I'm not sure if these have been answered but:

1. The blinking notification LED, can it be changed to other colors?
2. I've noticed on my friend's Moto Droid that it constantly blinks green (for service i assume). I'm guessing the Incredible has the same thing from previous posts. Can that be turned off?

Broadband Connect Not Offered By Verizon

After much consideration made the decision to drop Blackberry for the Incredible. Went to get my upgrade and found out from customer support that the Incredible WILL NOT support Broadband Connect software pre-installed on the phone. Bummer, this is a deal breaker for me. It is my sole internet source so it's not reasonable to break the terms of my agreement because I really do use the full 5 gigs per month.

Anyone have any info on if Broadband Connect will actually be supported by Verizon?

I already know that Verizon's own spec sheet shows the feature, but there is no way for them to add the feature as according to their tech support, the incredible does not support the feature.

Can Flash Lite be disabled from the browser settings?

Push email - Non Gmail POP3 accounts

I know I can set this up going through gmail (you have a nice long article) but if I don't want my mail to say gmail id for pop3 id - how do I set it up?

 

[justin credible]

help with email

Just got my Incredible and have my Yahoo! email set up. My phone is currently on vibrate but it doesn't vibrate/show a new email when I get one. I have to click on the mail icon on the home screen, hit Menu and select Refresh just to get my emails.

Does anyone know how to get my emails to automatically be sent, along with a vibrated alert?

 

[mclarryjr]

For Google Earth just search it in the market

For must have app's check the application section on AC

Only GMail is pushed you can set your Yahoo mail to sync every 5 or 10 minutes I think. I have all mail forwarded to my gmail so its all pushed.

To change notifications open your mail account and hit menu then setting there you can set ring tones and select it to vibrate.
