With all the rumor and misinformation surrounding this poor phone as of late its good to see someone got in contact with Verizon. There have been many delays due to the popularity of the phone and presumably the AMOLED screens used by HTC (and produced by Samsung) being in short supply! There have been rumors flying for about a week now saying that was being discontinued, Thanks to  TheDroidGuy for getting it from the horses mouth!

Verizon corporate marketing person, Brenda Raney confirmed to thedroidguy.com that this report is indeed false. Customers who ordered the HTC Incredible may certainly change their mind and get a Droid X however orders were not changed by Verizon nor encouraged.
