I placed an order for the Incredible last week with Verizon. Expecting to receive it the NEXT day, I waited 2 days, the weekend, and all of Monday for this thing since you have to sign for the package. I finally call Verizon...
"Thank you for calling Verizon wireless, home of the HTC Incredible, how can I help you?"
Come to find out they are all on back order until June. Not once did they communicate this to me and I found it to be quite annoying. How are you going to put up advertisements all over and even answer your phone "home of the Incredible," but not even have the damn phone available?
Sucks to Verizon!
I will wait, but I've been having wet dreams about this phone for days, now I have to wait another 3 weeks!
Again, Sucks to Verizon!
Its not Verizon's fault HTC cant manufacture enough because of the limited about of amoled displays coming from samsung. This phone is sold out everywhere.
I tried Verizon, they were out. I tried online, they were all backordered. I tried Best Buy...found one 35 minutes away that had 4 in stock. I got it through them for $200, same as it would have been through Verizon but the rebate was instant. I am not usually a fan of BB but this time I was happy to purchase from them!

I find it hard to believe you ordered it last week and never saw/received a warning about being backordered, as it's been on backorder for a while now.
There are component shortages, believe me, Verizon would love to have them in stock because they're making less money with people not wanting to backorder, which increases the chance they'll buy the EVO or wait for iPhone4.
regardless of what you think, the same thing happened to me. i was assured by customer service that the phone was only out of stock in the store. they said they had plenty in the 'warehouse' but it was only when I ordered the phone with overnight shipping that I found out it truly was on backorder when it didn't show up the next day

cant bc Verizon is doing me a favor by letting me upgrade early. I was havin issues with my tp2
i pre-ordered mine on 4/25, thank god i got it on 29th ^^
I bought mine on May 10th and at the time all of the Verizon Dealers were already sold out, I found three Best Buy in my local area that had at least one. The one I went to had 3 in stock.
I believe they have been on backorder for sometime now. People seem to hear what they wanna hear when purchasing a new toy
Have a friend who bought one at Wal*Mart last night for $149.
I bought mine at bestbuy last night

I think his main gripe is getting it from Verizon directly. All I'm simply saying is that phone has said its on back order since a few days after it was released
I got lucky, their website said shipping out 5/29, well.. I have had this phone about a week now.. just be patient and it will come early.

That's what the site said when I ordered mine on the 9th. I hope I get mine before then. They already billed me!
[/jealous]
I ordered mine online on 5/1 wasn't suppose to ship until 5/14, received it 5/5.
anything changing for people with when you're getting your phones? Anyone order thier phone on the 13th and have any specific information? All Verizon's CSR's keep saying is "6/1 blah blah blah"
I ordered mine on the 14th and its supposed to get here around 6/1 to, so i wouldn't expect it any sooner, but be happy if it comes early
I just opened an email that said mine has shipped. When I checked the tracking number on FedEx, I read they sent it Priority Overnight... but it's not expected to be here until Monday.
I hope it somehow shows up tomorrow so I'll have time to play with it before the work week starts. And wouldn't ya know it, I have a staff meeting on Monday and can't be here to sign for it. haha
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?
Engadget Link
Sprint Link
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...

you must have done some pretty serious convincing...
Checked the Sprint link...
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)

Not sure how I did it to be honest. I'm told I come across as very intimidating.. but I was in no way upset, and understanding of the shortage. Next thing I know I see him go to the locked closet...grab one out of the stack and peel someones name off of it..

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!

I scooped mine up from the studio Sprint store, downtown in the power and light district, like 14th and grand, also I got a call from the Sprint store that I was on a waiting list at and they had one for me, i was number 15 I believe.

I ordered mine online on the 7th, and it showed up UPS on the 9th. I couldn't have done better searching around. I say Sprint has come a long way.

I was going to order it online last night and then dumb me second guessed myself and decided to see if i could get lucky in a store today. Now I realize that was a very stupid idea.
how are some of you getting overnight delivery; i placed my order around 12pm PST yesterday and i still haven't received a delivery notification or any updates; it still says waiting in the warehouse for processing; this is annoying me since it's supposed to be overnight delivery
I just got this from another forum:
"just got off the phone with Verizon... all 3g versions will get the 3.1 update by midnight EST Friday."
Like the title says: just a rumor. I know nothing else. But it sets my mind at ease to know that I won't have to wait weeks. I'll stop doing the hourly update thing and just let it happen (OK, I might do it again, but not as often...). Can't wait to have resizable widgets and mouse support!
Google are doing a few things right in following apples lead when it comes to announcing updates and releasing updates on the same day, but as someone who lined up on launch day for my Xoom, and who still hasn't got an update it is still terribly frustrating...
Yes their are options for people who just cannot wait, and I understand that OTA updarea have to be managed to for load/ capacity reasons but I almost think the best solution is an either or solution. OTA update or for those that can't wait then an official tethered update....
I wanted to be able to go to work today with an updated Zoom, and stick the update in the apple fan boys eye

oh, man. i thought i am obsessed with my xoom
Do anyone know about the European 3G update?
I guess "3G" for Verizon is not WCDMA, its EVDO.
As someone who also purchase their xoom on launch day and has yet to receive the update, I am equally as frustrated. The load/capacity argument however seems weak with the small number of xooms sold to date. If they can't support that number...
Sent from my Xoom
frustrated here also. Got mine 9am the first day they had them available. No update yet for me this morning. Tried setting date ahead, it did check but nothing new.
Just curious, has anyone with a deactivated 3G Xoom actually received the OTA?
Some postings across several forums refer to the fact they only got the OTA after they activated their service with Verizon.
It seems suspect to me that that would be the case since any deactivated device I had with Verizon still received updates through WiFi (my OG droid and the last update (3.0.1) for the Xoom as examples).

I haven't received one yet. But if I do I'll post on here. Because I bought mines from a local shop brand new and never activated any 3G.
Will the 6P work on Verizon? If so will it have enhanced calling for voice & data at the same time?
I'm wondering the same
yeah, it supports the bands for VZW, and I would assume it has VoLTE (enhanced calling) since almost all new devices have it

I saw that it did on one of the videos yesterday (maybe droid-life) but I can't remember where at the moment. If I find it I'll post back
You just pop in your SIM and go, right?
I'm curious on this too since I have one pre-ordered and I recall the nightmare of trying to keep my month-to-month discount with Verizon until they officially supported the IMEI's in their system.
Unless I see something from Verizon like I saw about the Moto X Pure, I'd imagine that it'd be like last year's Nexus 6 where if you already had a line activated on Verizon, you just had to swap the SIM card into the phone and you'd be good to go, but if you were activating a new line, you'd have to use a different phone first to get it set up before you swapped it into the Nexus 6.
However, I really hope that things have improved since last year's Nexus 6 and that the ability to activate the Moto X Pure on Verizon at launch time (minus those few days of Verizon's system glitch) is a sign of the times.
As for VoLTE, I think that's baked into Android because I was able to activate VoLTE on my Nexus 6 back in March when the Lollipop update rolled out and Verizon's systems still weren't accepting non-Verizon purchased Nexus 6's in their system. In their system, my Nexus 6 would show up as an 'unsupported device', but I was still able to add VoLTE to my line.
I could be totally wrong, but that was my experience with the Nexus 6 on Verizon.

I recall seeing people have the same issue with the motorola pure 2015, so I'm preparing to experience the same issues.

I mentioned that in my post, supposedly Verizon was having trouble activating them at first. They announced they were having trouble and fixed it a couple of days later if I'm not mistaken.
Im with Verizon, and left my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for the Nexus 6 when it went on sale early last month. I just popped in my Sim card, and I was good to go. Two weeks after that my Moto XPE came in, and did the same with no issues at all. Only thing... HD calling was not connected for some reason? All I had to do was call Verizon, and had them flip the switch for me. They did, and with a quick reboot of my phone it worked just fine. I'm expecting the same to happen when my Nexus 6P comes in. Verizon has been pretty good as of late with unlocked phones, and expect it to continue. Might see an issue here, and there with some, but they've been on top of things now. I wouldn't really worry about this if I were you.

What kind of plan do you have? I've got the More Everything where my G4 is only $15/month because I'm technically still paying for it with Edge. I'm wondering if they'll make me pay off that balance first or just continue with what I have.
I have the same plan as you. No need to pay anything off. The balance will just transfer over to your new phone. You're good to go.
How many people that purchased through Bestbuy have received update. Just wondering if they're holding back the update so u purchase the mate 10.

I don't have an update as well. Bought it from best buy
I bought mine at Best Buy and I received my update several days ago.
Bought mine as a refurb from BestBuy about 7 months ago and got the update about a week ago. On AT&T.
