The incredible is in stock

[vireya]

Yup

Went into the Verizon store in Falmouth MA

They have them in stock with 2.2

BUT

the catch is that for a contract renewal the price is $300, but you can have 100 mailin rebate

Since I had a great deal of trouble with mailins with Verizon, I chose to decline

Went instead to BestBuy where the phone is 199 off the floor (if they had any, which they dont)

BUT the Best part is that they do honor the Verizon veterans discount (25% off equip and 15% off service)

SO

I reserved one there

NOW


I gotta hurry up and wait

incredible with 2.2?

[vireya]

They said ythey have them in stock and they said they are with 2.2.

He was surprised I knew so much to ask re OS

[mcsinfl]

I think he's mistaken, 2.2 not released for incredible

[Big Cam]

Just because one store has them, does not mean every store has them.

I live in a not so populous area and my VZW store had them long after everyone claimed them to be sold out, simply because they didn't sell that many.

It's a matter of stock, maybe your store got some in, it doesn't mean they all did.

I agree with your decision, although the offer is tempting. Why bother spend another $100 on an update that will eventually (I know eventually is not ideal...) come to your phone anyway?

Good call

The incredible does not have 2.2 I guarantee you.

[Samurai26]

You're probably right, but theoretically if it DID have 2.2, why bother paying extra for a free update?

[mcsinfl]

i think you read the op wrong. either way it's $200, best buy or verizon. the difference is best buy gives you the rebate up front, verizon makes you mail in for it, at least that's the way I read it

Ohhhhh, thank you! I was reading the OP wrong lol!

Ok, now if is hesitant about the mail-in rebate, I don't see the problem going with the Best Buy way. He will get the update eventually.
