if no verizon 3g service in your area, then I'd take it back. you got 30 days.

I got the HTC Eris earlier this month before I knew the Incredible was coming out. I chose not to get the Motorola Droid because of the size and weight, just a giant of a phone. Now that the Incredible is coming out, I'm thinking of returning the Eris for it. Does anyone know if there is a cost to doing that?

The Eris isn't a bad phone, but it is a bit underpowered. And from everything I have read, the Incredible is top of the line.

If it is less than 30 days there is a $35 restocking fee. Over 30 days, I think, you are out of luck.

It's under 30 days, I got the phone on April 9th. Thanks!

Oh yea, go for it! It is totally worth the extra cash for the Incredible (I have the Eris and will be upgrading in July...)

for those of you living in North Western Washington State do you get 3g coverage? The reason I ask is because that is where I will be moving to in December and would really hate to hang on to the DROID if I don't get coverage there either.

I'm sorry, isn't the appropriate response to blast Verizon for their 3G coverage and failing to meet his needs??

All about equality here,

spectrrr · 04-27-2010, 10:34 PM

try looking at the two 3g coverage maps and then we'll talk equality

md4958 · 04-28-2010, 12:26 PM

my HTC Incredible just arrived

Pretty bare-bones. Micro USB charger/cord, 2G micro SD card and adapter, and some manuals.

charging right now, will play around with it tonight and report back.

spectrrr · 04-28-2010, 02:58 PM

2gb is all they are shipping it with? booo

As for the rest of the goodies, thats all you really need. just a charger

LMK if you need help finding an app for ______ job, I've probably already messed around with it.

04-28-2010, 03:14 PM

I heard Verizon has coverage problems,

......... oh yeah! "pot stirrer!"

Well I took my Eris back and picked up the Incredible this morning. This is one bad-ass phone. Definitely the fastest phone I have ever had. No slow-down at all when moving between apps and screens. Well worth the extra cash I laid down.

The one downside that I read was that it was tough to see in direct sunlight, but it isn't nearly as bad as the reviewers said.

the only other complaint is the battery life could be better

How long did it last? Thinking about getting one. If you are a current customer and order through wirefly.com you get it for $150. Some other site I looked at you could get it for $100 if you were a new custo.

I ended up getting mine for $120 plus tax shipped. I got $50 off with their new every Two program, and then I was given a coupon code for an additional $30 off, which they were able to apply even after I had already ordered the phone... good through May 2nd I think.

I havent really let the battery die yet, but after charging it at around 4pm yesterday, the phone had half charge at around 10ish... while I was showing it off a bit, I wouldnt call it heavy use. However, I charged it all night last night, took it off around 6am. Right now the battery meter is showing almost full less a small bit. I'll report back at the end of the day.

Mind you, Im used to my blackberry that I could go 3 or 4 days without charging.

md4958 · 04-30-2010, 08:40 AM

oh, btw, if anybody is interested in that coupon code, pm me
