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.

April 16th, 2010

Today Verizon Wireless announced that it will release HTC’s new DROID “Incredible,” the latest and greatest Android device available, on April 29th.

The HTC DROID Incredible will feature  a “topographic” new design that demonstrates the powerful engineering just beneath the surface, which it says is “designed with craftsmanship and precision while making it easier than ever to stay connected.”

DROID Incredible by HTC features the newest version of the HTC Sense experience, a seven-panel home screen with a wide selection of interactive widgets so the most important content is immediately available at a touch. Customers will enjoy seamless integration with Exchange ActiveSync, quick and easy access to Flickr for sharing and viewing pictures, video, and Android Market™ with more than 30,000 Google applications. DROID Incredible by HTC is the first Verizon Wireless phone that takes advantage of Qualcomm’s 1GHz superfast Snapdragon processor, and it’s the first available phone from Verizon Wireless to include an 8 megapixel camera.

Shortly after the phone becomes available, customers will be able to enjoy two of the latest exclusive apps from Verizon Wireless – NFL Mobile and Skype mobile.

DROID Incredible will be available for pre-order online beginning on April 19, and it will be in Verizon Wireless stores on April 29. Pricing will be $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement.
