Too bad they are having a shortage, but the screen alone is worth waiting for. It is truly beautiful.

This phone is the best thing since the iPhone. All my iPhone friends are jealous of it's functionality.]]>May 26th 2010 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/

They're probably "jealous" because you're hyping the hell out of it. Let them use your phone for more than a week and if they haven't blown their brains out by then they'll surely be begging for their old iPhone back. ]]>May 26th 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/The incredible has been one of the least hyped smartphones ever, considering how good it is. ]]>May 26th 2010 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/May 26th 2010 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://j.mp/htc-incredible-impressions]]>May 28th 2010 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/

The Evo is definitely going to be a (slightly) better phone than my Incredible is, but the screen won't be as nice. I wouldn't trade HTC Sense and the AMOLED screen for a spotty 4G reception and a front facing camera.

In a year or two when 4G is more prevalent the Incredible won't be worth the cost of charging the battery.]]>May 26th 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/Dude. The EVO runs HTC sense... It's all over EVERY picture ever shown of it... so I guess you wouldn't be "trading" it...
But, from the sound of it, your friend that hadn't gotten his Incredible yet might be sitting in a Verizon store somewhere on June 4th wondering if that AMOLED screen really is so "super"...]]>May 26th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/Jul 1st 2010 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/and yes, reboot issue I have too :-( but its very very rare and is location based.

1) New iPhone is coming. Froyo is looking good. Very good. Apple tells AT&T to somehow make the competition suffer.
2) AT&T lies to Samsung, stating that customer demand for the new Galaxy S is beyond their predicted levels, and that they will need 3x the amount of units in stores for launch day to meet demand.
3) Samsung begins synthesizing Galaxy S phones at a rate that is three times faster than their initial production rate.
4) Samsung's AMOLED screens are preferentially installed into all their new Galaxy S phones.
5) AMOLED availability for other phone start to plunge as Samsung uses up more and more of its AMOLED displays for its Galaxy S phones.
6) Production of premiere Android toting phones are encumbered due to a lack of AMOLED displays, which are preferentially being allocated to Samsung's own phone.
7) Customers end up waiting and waiting for their Android phone, but the date keeps being pushed back.
8) iPhone HD is released.
9) Customers become fed up with waiting, and are dazzled by the new iPhone HD. The indulge.

I think you theory is close!

My Incredible hasn't been rebooted since launch day. Guess I'm part of that lucky 25% that got a good one.

I am looking forward to a Froyo update (I know, later rather than sooner), so I can use the App2SD functionality. I have about 85 apps on my phone, and half my memory is used up already.
