Limited introductory offer with the Incredible

I noticed today that when you click to view the accessories that come with the Incredible on the verizon website it states that a 2gb memory card will come with the phone as a limited time offer. Now, is that going to come with the incredibles that have already been pre-ordered (like mine) or is it just for those who preorder today?

HTC Incredible is Verizons answer to HD2?

In my opinion the incredible is a downgrade to the HD2 in many ways,

1. HD2 came with 16 gig SD Card vs. Incredible may come with a 2 gig SD Card

2. HD2 come with a 4.3 inch screen vs. Incredible comes with a 3.7 inch screen

3. HD2 came with WM 6.5 vs. Incredible comes with Android OS (Not a fan of Android)

4. HD2 has Capacitive screen with dual touch vs Incredible OLED screen without dual touch

Now both units carries the same SnapDragon 1 gig processor and the +1 diffrence is that the HTC Incrediable has a 8 gig camera over the 5 gig that HD2 has…. Hopefully they will allow voice dialing from the bluetooth on this unit unlike the others that has been reported to be lacking....

Not really getting the comparison....

Not a good pattern in my opinon, I was going to concider this device because my co worker has the HD2 and it is Incredible but the HTC Incredible isnt looking so Incredible to me....

If there is a deal on a free memory card as part of deal I would probally say if this information wasnt specified at time of order, you might be out of luck... Thats usually how it works but I would call customer service to verify....

That's a great opinion there, but what does that have to do at all with OP's question? I read that and now I'm just not sure where that came from at all.

But, just to toss this out there for you - For many of us, the major improvement over the HD2 is that the Incredible DOESN'T run WinMo. Because most of us DO care for Android (hence the reason we post in the Android Devices forum), particularly given the option between it and WinMo.

As for the OP's question, I don't know the answer, but I hope we still get it. I wouldn't mind a free card.

"4. HD2 has Capacitive screen with dual touch vs Incredible OLED screen without dual touch" - Wildman

I could swear the incredible is listed with multitouch. My Eris is mutli touch, if it wasn't I couldn't use the pinch feature or the zoom options in the browser or picture albums. I can play air hockey, with another real person.

The memory is 512/512 on the incredible but the HD2 is 512/488, not a huge difference there just a little but the incredible has an additional 8GB on board, with the option to add another card. HD2 32GB max, Incredible 40GB max.

Small correction on the cameras, it is 8mb and 5mb, not GB. Not a biggie, but a huge difference if we actually had 8GB and 5GB cameras.lol. I'm not sure if the HD2 has video out, but I know the incredible does. HDMI Mini I believe(not positive on that one though) I know it has TV out though for sure.

It also has Draft-N Wifi support. Resolution is the same on both devices. Android will be the first mobile phone with Adobe Flash support, WinMo will be getting it shortly too though.(IPhone won't..LOL)

Mine was in response to Wildman

OPs question: What was it? O ya, the answer is more than likely no, but you might have some success if you call them and ask them about it. I would call while that option is available on the website though. All you can do is try.

HD2 has 0 gigs of internal memory, so 32 gb max via SD. Inc has 8 gigs internal + 32 gb max via SD = 40 gb max. I reeeeeeally don't see how you call that a downgrade.

2. HD2 come with a 4.3 inch screen vs. Incredible comes with a 3.7 inch screen

Same resolution screen. Believe it or not some people (women!) prefer smaller phones.

3. HD2 came with WM 6.5 vs. Incredible comes with Android OS (Not a fan of Android)

Oooooookay... well if you don't like the SINGLE BIGGEST SELLING POINT OF THE PHONE then you are probably not a fan of the phone as a whole...

4. HD2 has Capacitive screen with dual touch vs Incredible OLED screen without dual touch

You realize that 'Capacitive' and 'OLED' have nothing to do with each other, right? And also, you're WRONG. Incredible has a different touchscreen sensor from the N1 and Droid and multitouch works flawlessly. Psst: check the VERY FIRST YOUTUBE RESULT for 'Incredible Multitouch'.

Now both units carries the same SnapDragon 1 gig processor and the +1 diffrence is that the HTC Incrediable has a 8 gig camera over the 5 gig that HD2 has…. Hopefully they will allow voice dialing from the bluetooth on this unit unlike the others that has been reported to be lacking....

YOU are the only person comparing these phones! Everyone else is comparing the Incredible to the upcoming Evo 4G, because they're frickin' Android phones. If you really think that Windows Mobile is God then you probably don't understand that distinction. But this post is pretty much all-around nonsense and wrongness...

Wildman

The engineering behind the Capacitive is a more reliable technology for multitouch, this is why the devices that use multitouch usually uses them, the OLED screens are basically a tweaked version of a standard screen and the engineering is flawed... Better picture but still flawed... I have seen several reviews comparing HTC Incredible to HD2 and im not the only one, but thats not hear or there... I reported I moved on, I realized this was getting off subject and closed the subject and moved on, didnt realize this would go so south..

Try this again.... Moving on.

Thanks Raidernation1 for bringing this to our attention, the ones of us that have pre-ordered. I just called and spoke with support and if you don't receive a 2gb microsd card with your order to call and they will make sure you get one sent out. I thank you for posting this information here and they cannot tell you if your order has the 2GB card, so depends on how soon you placed your ordered for the pre-order.

:smileyhappy:

So once you receive your phone the lucky ones that have already I am jealous! I am still waiting for mine and the support tech said depends on how far back you are on the list and they cannot tell you this. So, I know it's between today and Thursday! Looking forward to this I was looking forward to the 4.3 screen instead of this 3.7 but should be a good running and fun phone or would have to switch to t/mobile.

Cheers,

Yeah I just recieved a confirmation email stating that I will recieve a 2gb microSD card with my Incredible. I pre-ordered mine on the 19th so im thinking everyone who pre-ordered will recieve one. :smileyhappy:

kenyu73

Maybe I just dont get it.... who cares if we get a 2GB card? They're what.. $14.83 (just a guess) at Wal-Mart? I dont think I'd even want to call Verizon support to even find out.

Has anyone even figured out "why" they're throwing in this at the last minute? I started a thread on this already (=
