Verizon Gives HTC Incredible Customers $25
Free stuff is definitely half the battle when you're playing the "Keep Customers Happy" game.
There's currently a major AMOLED shortage and it's resulted in a delay for those who ordered the HTC Incredible from Verizon. Verizon has sent out an apology letter to customers who ordered on or before June 28, informing them there may be an additional delay of seven days. As a thank you for being so patient, Verizon is also sending these customers a $25 gift card.
The HTC Incredible launched April 29 on Verizon Wireless.

pay attention Apple...
You mean Verizon is giving people something for their gaff instead of trying to take more from them? Here is a company that deserves the loyalty that fans shower, for whatever reason, on Apple.
pay attention Apple...
Jobs doesn't pay attention he sells attention
they can hand out $25, but apple can't hand out a rubberband (bumper case), that they dub is worth $30..ha..ha...ha..
i'll never forgive Verizon for giving into the Bush Admin's illegal wiretapping. sorry to anger you fan boys but somethings are worth more than $25.

And AT&T et al hasn't? The CIA/NSA could/is already doing this for other carriers.
There isn't a single service provider in the world that the NSA/CIA doesn't own/control lock, stock and barrel.
WooT Verizon; cut the price to $175 now for everyone!
But, read the fine print on a verizon gift card - what a joke. It's no wonder they give them out so freely.
Yay I get $25. I love Verizon and their customer service.
damn, i knew i should've waited a little longer. I'd rather have gotten an Incredible but because I couldn't wait, i got an EVO instead. ;_ ;
Awesome job verizon!
LoL, customer service. They're just trying to save their ass from losing customers to Sprint or AT&T. I wonder if a $25 gift card will appease the masses when they need a rpl and the AMOLED isn't available.
this is why I cry when I see people blindly walk into AT&T and Apple stores not realizing that there are alternatives...
on the other hand.. iphone users DO atleast have their phone, even if it doesn't work.
One up for HTC

There's just no pleasing some folks some times. Verizon did a nice thing that others in the industry won't. Of course the motive is to hang on to customers but jeez cut them some slack here.
Pretty cool they are doing this. I know a few co-workers were waiting for theirs. An extra 25$ is always nice.
can sprint do that to me too ? i want the Evo 4G badly ~
