Is this an iphone killer?

Cool, thanks. We're currently on a grandfathered plan that has 400 minutes per month (we use a fraction of that) and two standard phones with no texts or data and that runs about $75 with taxes and our corporate discount.

The VZW rep said that he would grandfather us on another package that they don't offer now (current minimum package is 700 minutes and runs $10 more) for the same price. That plan is 550 minutes. They'd also add 250 texts for $10 (for both phones) and $30 for the data plan. That would bring me to a grand total of about $100 with fees and taxes, and with a 19% corporate discount. I think that seems like a pretty good deal overall.

The HTC would be $199, but I didn't ask whether I could get a second new phone for free (that one would not be a smart phone). I'll have to mention that when I call him back.

According to the rep, they're backordered on the Incredible until the 13th of this month. He said he has one and it's awesome. That seems to be the consensus of everyone I talk to.

That is a pretty good deal. Especially if you don't talk a lot of send a lot of text messages. The data is probably going to be what consumes most of it and that is going to be unlimited anyways.

Yeah the phone is back ordered online and I want to say with corporate stores too. I know we have about six devices at our store currently. Low stock still but we have them available and you don't have to wait which we all know is the hard part about ordering online haha.

My wife has the HTC Droid Eris and she loves it. The only issue is battery life, which is horrible. Very nice little phone. I have a BlackBerry Storm which runs great on the Verizon network. I will probably give the iPhone a try when and if it comes to Verizon.

The Incredible ended up costing $150 after all the promotional stuff. They also gave me a nice Motorola flip phone for free. Overall, I'm really pleased with the pricing and customer service. They were awesome. The phones should be here on the 12th.

Nobody said anything about Windows Mobile. Were talking about Android phones.

It looks quite good. We're currently in what I would say to be the Golden Age of smartphones, and there's lots of choice and there's not much which is "total crap". I like the Nexus One, the iPhone, the Pre, Blackberries, etc - even though they are all completely different. Competition is good and variety is the spice of life.
