Verizon Accidentally Ships HTC Droid Incredibles

April 21st, 2010

Usually when a company messes up it’s the customers that lose out, but in this case its the customers that come out ahead with news that Verizon Wireless accidentally shipped some of the HTC Droid Incredible pre-orders 10 days in advance.

“A few members over at AndroidForums have received the Droid Incredible in advance of the April 29th street date thanks to a glitch in Verizon’s pre-order system,” says Phandroid. “It appears that as Verizon has the Incredible already in stock, a few orders were flagged as OK to ship and managed to leave the warehouse on a journey that eventually found at least one in the hands of forum member SoSmarmy.”

Nobody knows for sure just how many pre-orders were filled, but if you placed one on the 19th you just may be one of the lucky ones to receive it in the mail today or tomorrow. The bad news for everyone else is that Verizon has corrected the issue, and confirmed that no more Droid Incredibles will be delivered until the 29th as originally scheduled.
