Verizon Rumor Suggests HTC Droid Incredible Orders Are Turning Into Motorola Droid X Orders [Rumor Has It That Verizon Is Allowing Those Waiting For A Droid Incredible To Switch Their Order To A Droid X]

The latest rumor surrounding Verizon includes the Droid Incredible and the Droid X. Or more specifically, it deals with a resurge of an earlier rumor in that the Droid Incredible is about to be given its walking papers. Basically, it looks like the end-of-life is going to come for the Incredible, but not because the handset was unsuccessful, but instead because its not available.

Of course, we have head numerous reports of the Droid Increible being out of stock and delayed due to display shortages. Just to recap some of the more recent, as of June 12th the shipping date was reflected as July 12th. I also did a quick glance on Friday and the shipping date had been pushed up to July 20th and as of this morning its showing as July 26th. In short, it seems to be riding the one month to ship time.

Given that, this latest bit seems to make some sense. According to the details, which have come by way of the AndroidGuys blog and one of their “guys on the inside.”

“…they are allowing customers who pre-orded it (Droid Incredible) to cancel their order and get the Motorola Droid X instead.”

Granted, you cannot actually get either handset as of today, the Droid Incredible or the Droid X. Of course, the Droid X is going to be available on July 15th and perhaps more important — is not expected to arrive with any inventory issues.

Either way, I am pretty sure most people that ordered and had been waiting on an Incredible would be happy with the Droid X. Still, there may be some that would choose to wait, after all the Incredible has one thing that the Droid X does not — HTC’s Sense UI.

So how about it, can anyone waiting for a Droid Incredible confirm this for us? Personally I had wanted the Droid Incredible, but despite loving the Sense user interface I am ready to ditch that in favor of the Droid X. In the end though, this would be a slightly disappointing outcome. After all, that would mean an incredible short life span for the Incredible. And yes, I am sorry for the bad play on words, I could not resist.

One of the things that I think really hurts Verizon in all of this…is if you are new customer trying to get the HTC incredible. They don’t tell you anything..because you don’t have an account yet. You don’t get notified of when it will ship or about the further delays. You cannot log into their site…because for security they send you a txt message to your phone…the one that is on back order.
They have been giving their customers 25 gift cards, and information about the wait. But if you are a new customer…they don’t tell you anything. Nothing.
And they don’t understand why you are upset.
They also will not let you return the item, because it has not shipped yet…and even their own computer system cannot tell them, when it will ship, cause you don’t have an account with them yet.
I wish the incredible had never come out, and I sure wish I had never walked into Verizon.
It has been a horrible experience to feel robbed, of my money, never even a email saying welcome to the club…just my money gone, and no phone, no cell company.
When I was younger companies were excited to get new buisness, seems now days…I’m putting the company out for buying the product they cannot deliever on.
Oh well….I’m sure they will get bail out dollars =)
