New Verizon 4G phone coming March 31

[Phil Nickinson]

Will post more when I have it.

Update 1: Separate source says it's the Incredible 2.

Also: Samsung Inspiration (that's the Stealth/4G LTE Smartphone) on April 7; Droid Bionic sometime in May.

Sure wish we could get either a stock android phone or a dual core that isnt locked down to the tenth power

 

[dyslexicbunny]

I believe you misspelled Merge. You know, that rockin' phone you guys showed off for the first time Tuesday.

 

[sniffs]

What!? MAY FOR THE BIONIC?! Come on! I need my 4G fix and I dont want the Thunderbolt..

 

[shamefulzero]

oh i get it! the inc2 on march 31st and ALSO a 4G phone april 7th!

 

[EggoEspada]

Yea, sounds about right. If anything the Motorola Bionic could come out April 28th, but would make sense for April launch. Gives each device room to sell.

Also, I have heard March 31st for the Incredible 2 quite a bit, so no surprise there.

Oh no! You just bursted my bubble! I got all excited because I was thinking this was saying SURPRISE, the INC2 is going to be a "NEW 4G phone" since we already knew sammy and bionic were 4G from CES.

Hey Phil, your title says new 4G phone coming, but the first rumor you list is the Incredible 2. Are you saying that the Inc 2 is supposed to be LTE?

Think we're talking two different phones. But we'll see.

More phones to tempt us away from the Bionic while we try to wait, and as we hope data tiers don't come too soon!

Phil, PLEASE post any info you have on the incredible 2. I'm looking forward to that phone more than any other (returned my thunderbolt for it).

The incredible s will be nice but I do not know if it will be as nice as the TBolt is but that is purely based on my opinion and preferences. Some may not like the 4.3 in. screen and instead prefer 4.0 in. Different strokes for different folks.

I do not know if you are planning on rooting it but recently it has been announced that the DInc 2 will have a locked and signed boot loader (just like Motorola has been doing to their devices).

The DInc 2 will be an extremely nice device and the design will be very familiar to the original DInc owners. If you have no intentions of rooting then the DInc 2 may be perfect for you.

With all of these new Android phones coming out I am surprised that nobody has created a retail store that sold Android devices from all different carriers. The store would be far from empty.

I doubt we'll see two HTC Verizon devices (Thunderbolt and Inc 2) released so close to one another. And the Inc 2 isn't supposed to be 4G.

This sounds interesting and all... but the one phone I'm interested in right now is the D3.

 

[Balthazar B]

Phil, any inklings of an LTE *and* global UMTS phone from VzW?

 

[dyslexicbunny]

I heard its specs are similar to stuff developed under project Jabberwocky.

Maybe its the casio droid phone built like a brick ship house

 

[AmousmosesMW]

So, I was on the VZW site just now and it is showing the Incredible as temporarily out of stock! Does that mean anything? Maybe confirmation that the INC2 is coming this Thursday as Phil is indicating? I'd be a happy camper!

 

[drumzalicious]

I would love the dinc2 as an upgrade to my dinc. However if the phone doesn't have LTE and can't be rooted then it looks like I wont be getting a new phone this year. I personally believe 4.3 is too big for a phone and all of the phones coming out are 4.3"

Phil, please update us on this thread. Inc 2 by the end of March or not? Don't leave us hanging...
