Went to Best Buy today and pre ordered the Incredible. Cant wait for the 29th! upgrading from a G1 running on ATT. So happy to get rid of ATT!
Best Buy turns the $100 mail-in rebate into an instant rebate, so its $199 in store.
Anybody else get theirs on order today??

I went to my local best buy store too. They said only 2 ppl had pre-ordered all day. I heard they do not honor the new every two discount so I'm sure alot of ppl will pre-order via vzw online tomorrow. I'm actually really surprised that there has not been any vzw htc incredible commercials. I have seen plenty of vzw moto droid commercials. I would think that they would want to take advantage of the large viewing audeinces watching both the NBA and NHL playoffs, but I guess not. I suspect that Incredible may not be as big to the general public as the moto droid was. Which is fine with me I talked to a CSR @ vzw and she told me that the incredible is shown as in stock and there was no note on the device stating that it would not ship before 4/29. She did say the launch date for all channels (stores/webstores) is 4/29. Best buy told me that pre-ordered phones can be picked up on or after 4/29.
when i went to BB one of the mobile guys asked if he could help me...i asked him about the pre order and he didnt know anything about it. Had to ask his manager what that was, so im guessing they hadnt done any pre orders that day.
I love android and my G1 but cant wait to get some better hardware
I was the first to pre-order at my local store. It only cost $100 to put my name in the hat for two incredibles (..and of course they gave me two $50 dollar gift cards which I will use towards my phones next next week). The girl said the store will receive a greater amount of phones if more people pre-order at that location.
if one person pre-orders, they may get 5 phones
if 15 preorder, the store will get 25 phones (examples, but she has seen other pre-orders use the 15=25 numbers)
going from At&t (no complaints) with a Kaiser (wife has a moto q9 with a broken "a" key) to verizon with two incredibles.
Wait 100$ to preorder? So you have to pay 300$ when you get the phone?
I just got my new homeowners tax refund and once the check clears tomorrow I'll be marching into Best Buy and preordering that beautiful beast of a phone. Cyanogen expects that it will be simple for his roms to work on the Incredible since its very close to N1.
Pre-Ordered mine on Monday. I asked about getting it early and the lady said no. It sucks that some people who ordered through Verizon have gotten theirs today.

There are a couple of videos up on androidfroums that show people who got theirs early
Hmmm, maybe best buy will get theirs early then.
i just got on the list with my local verizon store, they said they should have theirs by the 27th
Hmmm, I may have to cancel my preorder then.
[ strike ]I pre-ordered mine on the 19th but they still haven't charged my card. Should I have been charged? Or are they waiting till it ships to charge me? Has this happened to anyone else? I just want to make sure I'm not the only one. [ /strike ]
Ooooppps just realized that this was for best buy pre-orders, sorry
Last I read in forums was the Best Buy gets their inventory of phones on 4/24
i would leave any preorders that you did online alone, they will have it shipped to you by the 29th. if best buy or local stores get them early, they arent going to be able to give them out until the 29th anyway.
HTC Incredible is a great phone but i want to see it upclose before getting into a contract. I think it might be too plasticky but i will still get it.
There was an error at verizon on phone orders allowing them to get shipped early. They've plugged that mistake. Those lucky enough to have done a phone order on the Monday got them early.
I have mine pre ordered with Best Buy. Between my New Every Two and some BB Reward Zone certificates, I'm getting mine for ridiculous inexpensiveness!
Sorry, but I had to gloat.
Just pre ordered mine today and got Best Buy to price match Verizon on the 529.99 that big red is offering. BB wanted me to pay 599.99 but I'm not doing that.
I ordered the phone and after checking my various outgoings this month have decided that I want to cancel the order until I've sold a few other bits of tech. There doesn't seem to be an option though! Is this a ploy to stop people cancelling or is there something I'm missing?
I can't see a cancel order option anywhere (despite having only just made the order).
Has anyone got any experience with cancelling Oppo orders? Or is there anyway I can cancel with PayPal prior to them despatching?
Who did you order with? Oppostyle should let you cancel :-/ have you tried to contact the seller?

Whereabouts in the UK are you? And which version did you get?
I've been watching the Oppostyle forums this week to see whether they'd do a $50 voucher give-away again today. Looks like that isn't going to happen so I'm very tempted to put an order in, haven't clicked buy yet though!
If you can't cancel it I might be able to buy it off you? Although you should be able to email Oppostyle and get them to refund you, looks like some other people on their forums have done that in the past.
Did you eget any answer from oppo? I am in the same situation as you.
Went to buy the 4 With Walmart ad for price match on their $40 off deal. Found out Best Buy started deal better. Came out with Note 4 half price.
Glad I waited a little
I dont see this deal anywhere. Is this in-store only?
Not sure. I didn't know about it . My wife went to get it and when she showed the Walmart ad to him he said he had a better deal.
Gave her $150 gift card and let her use it on phone. She called me very happy as was I.
I Was just complaining about my luck the day before because Walnut was sold out.
Turns out that was a blessing!
I did a little searching. You must have gotten them to price match with the Costco deal:

I'm considering doing this today. Did Best Buy allow you to use the gift card on the Note 4 purchase?

Did you post a screen shot cause I don't see anything. Can you explain the deal because I just bought my note 4 from best buy on Monday and didn't get any deal. They price matched Verizon since I paid full price
Tried two Best Buys with no luck. As usual, it seems each Best Buy has their own policy. One BB said they wont price match Costco. The other said it was for new lines only. Did you get this through a new line? I just want to upgrade my line. I kinda wish I didnt goof on missing the trade in deal...

l added a line. 1 had not seen it advertised either. My wife went to pick it up with the Walmart ad and the rep told her he could do that but had something better.
She said he printed out something, then scanned a Barcode off the print out and told her she would get a $150 gift card. He then told her she could use it towards the phone.
I asked her and he never told her what it was he printed out or what. We were just elated it happened.
For reference this was in Valdosta, Georgia.
If needed I will try and post receipt
Hey! I work at Best Buy Mobile! So let me clarify this deal for you guys! It shouldn't have been a price match to WalMart or CostCo. We normally don't match ads with CostCo because you have to pay them for a membership and it isn't a public store, so they're able to afford putting up crazy-ass deals as they do, and we don't match WalMart (in the Mobile department) because almost every single phone is subsidized and the price is set by the carrier for us, so we cannot modify the price because we end up losing whatever difference in price there is as we don't get that refunded to us from the carrier. Also, we do direct contracts with the carriers that we support, unlike Car Toys and CostCo and a few other places which run under third-party contracts.
Not too sure what deal you guys got onto, but for the rest of this week only you will receive a $150 gift card per NEW LINE you start with Verizon right now. Husband and I just upgraded to Note 4s tonight by porting into Verizon from AT&T/T-Mobile and got $300 back in gift-cards, which we used to pay for the deposit that Verizon wanted from me ('cause my credit isn't too good and I was more interested in the Edge program anyway.)
So, what probably happened is that you added a new line, which qualified for the instant gift which is able to be applied toward the cost of the phone (if you're buying it on a 2-year contract, doesn't work toward your device payments via Edge [unless you have to pay a deposit]). Also just so that everyone is aware, if you're on a More Everything Plan, make sure that you're aware that this month there is a promo plan through Verizon where the 10GB plan is going for $80 and $100 for the 15GB plan.
I ordered through Best Buy with the edge program, but I noticed on my email it says the total of my order is the whole $779. It almost looks like it is going to try to charge me all of it when the phone is picked up. Is this what everyone else's email says? Possibly it is just stating the total I hope.
I spent 3 hours on the phone today in my pre order nightmare. The people at Best Buy were nice and tried to help, but long story short, it is impossible to pick up a phone from best buy unless you are the Verizon account holder. Being authorized user doesn't count, nor does being a family pick up member on the best buy account. My mom is the account holder, so I have to send it to a best buy near her and she has to pick it up and ship it to me because she lives 20 hours away.
That's a sh*tty deal.
I preordered through Best Buy, but with AT&T, not Verizon. The only thing I got charged for was the tax of the phone, which worked out to be around $56. My order summary said the phone itself was $0.00 because I chose to pay for it using AT&T Next (monthly payments). That's odd that yours shows the full price...either it's a glitch or it has something to do with Verizon.

Figures, looks like I am going back to the phone.. Thanks for letting me know though! I heard from someone best buy is having problems with the Verizon edge program. Verizon users might want to check!
Delete update...
So the manager said that the 779 total is normal on the order summary. So I am going to hope he is right, and if he is wrong, it will be Best Buys mistake to fix.
I'm with Verizon and I ordered the device off contract from Best Buy, and it showed the full price. It doesn't seem like it should show the full thing on the edge program

I preordered mine unactivated at full price to keep my UDP. I chose ship to home.
The big question is if I change to ship to store will I have it sooner? It seems with ship to store I'll have it on the 11th and shipping to home I'll have to wait. Has this been the way things played out with past devices?
I wanted to order from bestbuy due to the SD card and vr headset bundle, but they only had the buy for full price or buy with 2 year contract.
On the Web site it says that they can do the edge program and my store supposedly put me on it, but like I said my Order summary seems to have me paying the full price. I talked to the corporate line today and they said it should not have the price, but should have info on the monthly payments. Has anyone else tried to preorder with the Verizon edge program through Best buy? If you have can you tell me what your email order summary says?

I want my $200 back !
I hear theres supposed to be a $200 dollar credit towards more merchandise but I cant find it on the site.

So is this phone now a buy at 499$?

I just emailed them asking how to register for the rebate.
I'll report back if/when I get a return email.
About 30% off. At $500 it's the best budget phone . Even the OP5 128GB is $538
To get the $200 coupon, you need to fill out the form by Nov 15th: https://www.essential.com/pages/friends-and-family-offer.
Coupons expire Dec 15th.
(Psst, wouldn't mind if somebody sent me a code as a thanks for digging the form up. . Been looking to upgrade from my 5X.)
EDIT: Just some clarification, this is separate from the $200 price drop on the Essential Phone. Combined with the friends and family coupon, you can pick up a new PH-1 for $300. You can also use the $200 friends and family coupon on the 360 camera as well.
At $499 I look at the 128GB Essential phone as the next gen true successor to the Nexus 6P, and I am going to buy it this week. The Pixel 2 XL @ $950 is nearly double the price, and absolutely insanely overpriced for what you get compared to the Essential. They share nearly the same hardware, except the water resistance, and the 2 XL being larger of course with bigger battery. But the build quality on the Essential is supposed to be like best ever for Android phones.
And I dare say the Essential OS is AOSP, and seems almost more pure Android than where Google is taking these Pixel phones, if you get my understanding. The Pixel line sort of forked off a little different, than where the Nexus phones were going, and Essential is more back to that version of pure Android.

Pity it didn't start off at this price. It is tempting but the question is, how long with Essential stick around?

Is anyone else feeling generous? It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!
it might be a good deal if you are not on the Verizon network, where the phone is not capable of supporting VoLTE or any of the advanced features that pretty much every phone Verizon sells supports. That means you will not be able to have simultaneous voice and data.
I thought people got volte working by toggling some settings on and off on the phone itself as well as on their VzW acct online.
If anyone can spare a code, I'd definitely be interested in getting a ph-1 to tinker and try to find some more answers on the slow TMobile speeds.

Wow that dropped in price quickly, tbh after testing the phone I think price is about right.
I was pretty disappointed with the phone, seemed like a rushed job. Battery life poor, camera okish, speakers low
Design great, material good, software to bare!
Fortunately I returned mine as it a fault.
At £440 it's worth another shot in green or white
If anyone has a spare coupon which will not use, do not let it waste. PM it instead
can any one give me code ? pls ?
Another Code?
Does anybody would like to send me his spare code please?:fingers-crossed:

I already got the camera.
It would be nice to be able to use the code to get a charging pad.
But at the very least I'll get another phone, a white one this time.

VoLTE is working fine for me on VZW.
I'm thrilled about this deal. I'm going to order a phone for my wife. We usually swap phones after about a year anyway, so I'm not concerned if they end up going under.
If someone has a spare $200 code they're willing to give. PM me please
Guys, if someone got his code, would you please give it to me?! (if you're not willing to buy another product from essential's website)
At 299$ it's a bargain, as I'm willing to import it with the help of a friend. Thank you
