I did this in a store....online purchases may be able to skip the switching around but I think I would do it just to be safe and have it documented on the computers.



In all the reports about signal strength and how many bars people see, I think it isn't quite the 'real picture' I think that eventhough the Incredible only shows a bar or two, it really has a better strength than it is indicating. I haven't had any problems with calls in places that were itermitent (sp?) at best on previous phones. I am happy with mine so far.

There are also reports that the Inc 'trains' itself in battery usage, and I have to believe this. My first couple days with very slight usage I had very little charge left by about 6PM or so (from 7AM) but for the past couple days with the same time-frame and even a tad more usage I am at at least 50-60% by 6-7 PM (I really have to get a battery widget installed LOL)!!!

BATTERY TIME LITE - works great.

Definitely enjoying, first time I have gotten a new phone on the "up swing" of its life span.
Quick question though, using speedtest.net, what is everyone getting for up and down speeds?

BUT I GET MINE TODAY

Now I just gotta explain to the wife why I used her upgrade and have a new phone sitting around

[jbh00jh]

Well after 8 days the cell signal meter is showing the same signal strength ( at home) as my Imagio , 3 bars. And it is not bouncing up and down , siting right on 3 bars. The meter must have a break-in period . ? ? ? ? ? The first seven days it showed 0-1 bar. Whatever.

[syrguy1969]

I was going to report about the same thing. Right from the beginning I would only see a bar or two, but I never had a call dropped and actually have better reception in a couple places I was wibbly-wobbly at best. There are more bars showing on mine now as well, but the reception is about the same (great!!) as I described.

Same seems to go for the battery....it still isn't a 'wonder battery' but it lasts a lot longer than when I first got it.

[jbh00jh]

My reception has been great from day one , the signal bars fianally cought up with the reception haha

Hi Guy's & Gal's I am seriously considering going to this phone but I honestly have some reservations about two things the 1st being the fact that there is no key board and the 2nd is the fact that I am changing OS's from the pathetic WM6.1 to the ? Android OS. Is the manual available to the public? I really want to break it down and compare it to my Touch Pro. I'll say this if it is as capable as my Touch Pro and I do not have to Hard reset it twice a week it's a winner IMHO.

[jbh00jh]

All I can say is that you can' t compare a TP to this phone. I got mine the day it came out and it hasn't had the first soft reset yet , much less a hard reset. This is the first phone htc had made that does what it is ment to do out of the box.
No lags , no freezes , just fast and
stable. And a marketplace with thousands of apps , a lot of them free.
Forget the manual , go to the vzw store and play with it.
WM is history.
