It's sad that Verizon finally starts to have some really nice smartphones and now they can't keep them in stock. I haven't heard of this type of shortage from any other carrier and I have been with Verizon from the beginning. I don't get it and you can't just blame Samsung and be off the hook for poor planning!

I'm fairly confident the iPhone faced similar shortages...

Apple actually pushed out the iPhone fairly quickly when supplies were low. And I can't believe you're comparing Droid Incredible sales to iPhone sales. not really a fair comparison.

It was an easy target when the comment was "I haven't heard of this type of shortage from any other carrier". I'm sure there were other phones, but not as publicized as the iPhone.

Sprint's EVO is the same way. Maybe not quite so dramatic but that's what happens when a carrier puts out a really great phone. Obviously they're doing something right, even though it keeps being pushed back. So what? Buy something else. Or don't. It's just a cell phone.

I agree. Someone certainly had to have had the foresight to know that this device was going to be a game changer, even when matched against the EVO (which only has the appeal if you're in one of the limited 4G Sprint/Clear areas). They had to have pushed the date up to beat Sprint to the punch, but it seems as though the sales model would have underestimated the demand either way.

Game changer.... I don't really agree with that. But I would choose this phone over the Evo.

Seriously? Did see the artical a couple day ago where Sprint isn't able to meet demands on the Evo? Samsung screens are in high demand which is good. But if they can't keep up with demands that is a manufacturing issue. Not a service provider planning issue.

It's called poor planning........Verizon can't just say it's all Samsungs fault and think that is alright. The Motorola Droid and Droid Incredible are the first phones from Verizon to stand toe to toe with the iphone. Someone in upper management had to know the demand for these would be high and that they should make sure they had manufacturers on board that could meet demand. Again poor planning

It's called, VZW launched this phone a month earlier than planned. People would be complaining about waiting for the phone to launch if they stuck to the original plan. You just can't please everyone. I would like to know how VZW can be responsible for a shortage in Samsung amoled screens.

Its not Verizon that is saying that. HTC promised a quota and now they cannot fill it TO Verizon because of the shortage. Dont blame the carrier this time. Blame the manufacturer.

HTC is fighting wars on too many fronts... 1. Google Nexus One 2. HTC Evo 4g 3. HTC Incredible 4. HTC HD2 and the rest of their line up that may or may not be as successful. Not to mention they're preparing to launch phones for AT&T, etc... They're having growing pains. How long did you wait for that phone anyway, if it was so urgent to order you should have ordered it when it came out. If you waited till today, you probably can wait the couple weeks it will take to get to your house.

@Griffin - I just have a few questions for you...seein as Verizon doesn't produce phones and don't govern what Samsung/HTC can or can't do why can't we point the finger at Samsung? How did Verizon's upper management drop the ball? How is Verizon at fault here? Are you suggesting that Verizon should have gone with a diff. phone manufacturer that wouldn't run out of touchscreens?
22. BlackberryUser posted on 13 Jun 2010, 23:12 0 0
I think he's simply saying that Verizon's managers should have gone over to HTC and started manufacturing phones with HTC to ensure the demand was meant, jk...

Shut up with the poor planning statement. Is that the only thing you know how to say? No one is blaming, Griffin. You seem very bitter and I'm sorry they made you cry when you couldn't get your Incredible Droid or whatever, but fact is, Samsung DOES make the screens for these phones, and they AREN'T making enough. At least they are putting this out there rather than not saying anything. No blame, just information. Go whine to AT&T or something. I'm sure they'd be happy to have you.

I love VZW but their upper-management needs an OTA upgrade.

It is the shortage of amoled screens from samsung, they cannot produce them as quick and htc cannot meet its quota therefore its mainly there fault, but its not like things are instantly and mine was said to come what may 5th and i got it april29 th so its not that far behind. Verizon is fine and the phone is also popular so its in high demand.
