Verizon Droid Incredible in stock frenzy due to part shortages

It’s always great to be successful, especially when you know the product you’re selling is well favored, but when you can’t supply that product to the consumer due to too much demand, that’s when the smiles fade away. I am precisely talking about the Droid Incredible by HTC. Due to part shortages like the 3.7-inch WVGA multitouch screen which is built by Samsung, Droid Incredibles cannot be produced. According to Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam, they “had to pull way back” on store deliveries and instead focus on online sales. In fact, demand has been so tight that within 48 hours of the Incredible’s release, 100,000 handsets were sold. As of the time of this writing, the Verizon web site claims all orders will be fulfilled by June 3rd. Very demanding indeed.

And that’s one day before a certain EVO 4G launches on Sprint…

Verizon taunts us with new devices coming, calls it “Secret Code Name 6″

A quickie news post for you folks on-the-go out there. Verizon Wireless, everybody’s favorite carrier (…) has just let a flyer seen in an email supposedly on a Windows XP-based PC get leaked out onto the interwebs. The form claims that new devices are coming “really soon”. Our bet is that it’s the HTC Incredible, Project Pink phones, Nexus One, and the Blackberry 9650 (and still that’s only 5 phones). Or we could just wait for it to happen?

An Exclusive: HTC Incredible press photos leaked (UPDATE: they’re fakes)

So there you go. Earlier we were talking about the Desire coming to T-Mobile USA, and now here are two HTC Incredible shots straight from the mess at the Android Forums. If these prove to be real (and are very real-looking if you ask us, though we can’t independently prove if they are real ourselves) there will be two color variations for the Incredible, which are both — dare I say — Incredible. And one of them also resembles Mr. Incredible from you-know-where. In the meantime enjoy the extra shot of HTC’s upcoming Verizon handset, the Incredible, after the jump. And hey, don’t flame us if this turns sour; we’re posting this as usual because we love you readers.

UPDATE: We’ve finally gotten some intel as to whether or not these are real, and it looks like they’re fakes. Moving along now, we’re still sniffing around for a release date, using different sources.

UPDATE #2: Though these are 100% fake, they do resemble the actual HTC Incredible photos that have been floating around for ages now. So let’s say we have a near-perfect fan made render, instead of pure junk. And we’ll put this to rest.

[Thanks! Kyle]

Verizon plays with us by teasing Android 2.1 update for Droid

Big companies. Playing with us. Again. This time Big Red, AKA Verizon Wireless, has come out to play by posting the upgrade details and instructions for the upcoming Android 2.1 update for U.S Droids everywhere. New features include the new 3D Gallery app, voice-to-text, the news and weather widgets, pinch-to-zoom support (multitouch, huzzah!), “improved” pattern lock, and wait for it — wait for it — live wallpapers. We didn’t expect that one at all. But as for that 3D apps cube, you can forget it; it’s the Sexy Nexy (Nexus One) exclusive for now.

HTC ships Nexus One for Verizon and Vodafone “soon”?

There’s not much here to go by, but this is post worthy. The Economic Daily News (EDN) is claiming that the CDMA version of the Nexus One is en route to Verizon or Google, and Big Red will “market” the Nexus One superphone this month or the earliest in April, which might just click with the March 23rd release date thrashed around not too long ago. As for the Vodafone version; EDN said “soon”.

Keep on waiting cowboys.

Nexus One Headed to Verizon On March 23? A Googler Said So.

The main drawback on the Nexus One (now with multitouch, there really aren’t that many) is the network. T-Mobile is not the fastest 3G dude out there, but Verizon’s EV-DO Rev.A network is. Neowin has some buzz from an anonymous Google employee who said that the CDMA version of the Nexus One (for Big Red) is coming on March 23rd. That’s one day before the CTIA wireless convention, which is no less than a month away.  Seems pretty plausible and accurate if you ask me.

HTC Incredible found in Verizon Wireless’ system, launch approaching

None of us have forgotten about the HTC Incredible (mostly), a 1Ghz Snapdragon-powered Android 2.1 with Sense UI smartphone. As seen in its last leak, the Incredible will be on Big Red’s network, and the guys and gals at BerryScoop have snatched a screenshot of Incredible in Verizon’s system. Usually when a handset is “in the system” an official launch comes soon after. The first SKU, ARD6300DU is for the launch kit which is sent to stores for display units and promotional reasons, while the second SKU is actually for the Incredible. One thing mentioned by the tipster is that the Nexus One is not yet indexed by Verizon, so it may not come as soon as we think.
