Availability
Was ready to buy this phone after researching and reading the reviews here only to find it's sold out?!
What's up with creating/advertising a phone you can't get?
Anyone know when it will be available again?
...
Did you try verizon's site? Ive heard its available online,but that was last week. Last i heard,the store date was June 14th.
...
Will try, but talking to VZ today, sounded like the ship date was 6/14 and it was backordered.
sux.
...
And what I cant understand is why verizon is advertising the incredible like crazy if they dont have it. Doesnt make sense to me. Just like apple used to do.

Because they paid for the advertising months ago.
If they pulled it now, they would have to put another ad in the spot, which requires contract negotiations with the actors/designers, etc.
Plus, I don't think anyone expected the phone to sell as fast as it did. This time of year isn't known for phone sales.. AT ALL.
That + the parts shortage makes the number of devices a lot smaller than usual.

There was an issue with the parts manufacturer that limited the availability of the device.
Advertisement spots are worked out (and paid for) months in advance. Which is why the ads are still running.
From what I understand, the shipments should normalize next month.
