no but theres a rumored announcement happening on the 29th @Dive Into Mobile but that is expected to be the Nexus 4
Has there been a rumored launch time frame from anyone? Q4 2012? Q1 or Q2 2013? I was looking at getting a SGNII but then I saw the rumored specs on this bad mammajamma and it was the first device that made me second guess the Note II. I really like htc designs and would love this on Sprint with unlimited data! My full upgrade has been available since April and I have just been waiting on the "right" device.

DLX (= Deluxe) Thanksgiving launch

Football comes thru again.....heres the leaked shots of the Verizon variant....a little late to the party & no longer being referred to as "Droid Incredible X" but this is pretty much official (even though no announcement from Verizon or HTC yet)

Power button is centered on the top bezel, not off to one side like on most HTC phones (not visible in photos) DLX has physical buttons. If you were hoping otherwise, it's not happening. HTC has them in its usual back-home-recent apps config

Verizon had their way, forcing HTC to eliminate the memory card slot so ur forced 2 use their data .....International version that includes the memory expansion, here i come

Lol, all these lame compromises make me glad I saved my unlimited data by purchasing the S3. With this phones gorgeous screen and great GPU I should feel some envy towards it. Instead Verizon is holding back what could be the phone of the year. I actually use spare batteries, so the trends towards incased ones is not appealing.

Still...I look forward to checking out where the market is headed. Is the LTE chip on this merged with the rest of them, separate one?
