Possible release date and price for Incredible 4G LTE

---

According to Droid Life and with a leaked rebate schedule, we could be getting this as early as this Thursday, May 17th (not holding my breath). With a possible price of $199 and a $50 mail-in rebate which brings the price to $149 (seems too good to be true).

Verizon announced the DROID Incredible 4G LTE last week, but for whatever reason, wasn’t ready to tell us when it would be available for purchase. We have been told by sources that it could show up either this Thursday (May 17) or during the last week of the month. Pricing, we were told weeks ago that it would come in around $149 after rebate, and at least half of that has been confirmed to us today. As you can see in the shot above, the Incredible 4G LTE is highlighted with a $50 rebate next to it. No full price to confirm just yet, but we really are fairly certain that it will come in around the $149 mark.

Considering this phone is being pegged for a mid range device and now reports are it doesn't even have a S4 in it, the price makes sense.

It has an S4. That has been confirmed. It's just not the same as the ones on the One series of phones.

I'll take longer battery life over a meager 3MHz difference in cpu speed. C'mon 1.2GHz vs 1.5GHz -can anyone even notice? I bet the battery life on the Inc4G will be better than any of the One series.

not too mention the rezound with its thickness and overheating issues.

if big red dropped the one series for this phone either, it has to be pretty decent.
im sure they have some other goodies up there sleeves but i will be purchasing this device.

I wonder if this will affect the Incredible 4G as it seems to be doing to the One X and the Evo 4G. Hope not because if it does we might have to wait awhile to get a new device.

I see the HTC Incredible 2 on that list for a 50 dollar rebate...I thought the inc 2 wasn't even being offered anymore, let alone at a price that offeres a 50 dollar rebate? Last time I remember the phone was being offered for .01 cents with a new 2 yr, back around march?

Take this for what it's worth, but I was just in a local Verizon store getting a new screen protector for my Thunderbolt and talking to the salesman about how much we like HTC phones. I asked about the Incredible 4G, and he asked me if I was going to upgrade. I asked when it might be coming out, and he said he was just talking to his Verizon rep earlier that day, and that it would be available "soon - very soon". I casually asked if I should come back Thursday, and he just said "yup" without making eye contact...

I think they would have announced it by now if it was going to be available Thursday.

Verizon likes to announce/put out dates for their phones within days of the actual launch. Hopefully it's soon! Thursday would be awesome for sure. But that would mean the announcement would be tomorrow... Hmmm...
