I need a favor !! Could any one ask Amhaz and/or any other mobile place if the HTC Incredible S arrived to Lebanon ? I called Microage, ( and you know how bad of dealers they are) and they told me it'll arrive in a week or two.
So plz, if any one could, ask if it arrived. Incase it did, ask for the price if not ask when will they get it. THANKS
PS: I strongly advise every android fan to check out the 5 new HTC phones. They are making a huge hit globally. As most of you know, statistics show that OS android is leading, and the good news it has HTC as its most sale but the crazy part is HTC is just behind Iphone's tail in Hardware sales.

i called them like 5 days to ask them about the motorola atrix they said they dont have it, but i also asked about the new HTCs including the incredible s they said they are coming in about 3 weeks. i really hope they get the motorola atrix

The problem is that they dont want to take the risk of bringing motorola phones if nobody can repair them (no wakil)
I am surprised it will take 3 weeks to get the Incredible S because its already sold in UK and Asia,if it was a nokia they would get it tomorrow morning ;)
I am very seduced by the LG Optimus 2X which is also already launched,the price is only 620$ in Europe

vegetaleb is right, forget about motorola in lebanon..after all, phones have requirements to be able to run android. They have to have the touch buttons under the screen and have special processors, so at the end they all look pretty much the same.
Forget that i am an htc fan, i would still recommend it to every one coz the prices are fair, plus u get extra features like htc sense AND its price stays high incase u want to trade it after a year..

Expansys is saying the LG Optimus 2X will be available in UAE in 30th March for only 600$, dunno if Amhaz will get it before but I am pretty sure it will not cost more than 650$ and a month later 550$ :)
AkDoV
I heard rumors that the HTC incredible S will arrive in less than a week ? Could anyone very that for me ? Bytheway, go to ebay and check out the prices, they range from 520 to 630 $ !! That would be amazing if they arrive to Lebanon with such prices.
If anyone noticed, ALL new android phones are being sold relatively cheaper than the older ones AND from all new competitors. This very smart of them, soon they will monopolize the market

I am still getting ''wow what is this great phone?'' for my N1 :)
ADW with its own transitions + beautiful widget are fantastic

check this HTC out it is supposed to have dual core 1.2Ghz 1GB RAM, qHD 4.3 screen and android 3.x that Eric Schmidt talked about which will combine honeycomb and gingerbread that will be announced in May. this device sounds awesome!

I checked out the website, HTC Ignite and Prime are both Windows phones. HTC Pyramid is the one you're talking about, I read about it last month, it is expected to wipe out the market at it's release, it's a real beauty.
haidcar
Pyramid looks amazing specs wise and the looks. i hope it gets NFC,Gyro and HDMI that would make it a prefect phone
vegetaleb
Wmp7 are not a success at all! Though if they will be flashable with Android like the HD2 then it will be a totally different story ;)

When it comes back to me, I would never get any phone but Android. It is by far the best OS for such device. For tablets on the other hand, I'm still waiting for a better generation, I would prefer Windows over everything else. The HTC incredible S is the best, perfect size, good processor, and amazing specs; I can't wait for it to get released in Lebanon.
vegetaleb
Called Amhaz yesterday, they still don't have it nor LG Optimus 2X nor SE Arc :(
They are only fast with nokia lol!
If the HTC Pyramid will be available the coming 2 months I will rather wait for it, imagine the power house of Samsung SG2 with HTC Sense and hopefully less expensive too
AkDoV
I would want the Pyramid as well but I researched about it and HTC did not confirm its processor and RAM speeds yet. Up to now, the processor is going to be 1.2 Ghz and the RAMS are going to stay 770Mb which does not make sense since the incredible S and desire hd both run on same amount of rams and with a smaller processor. I think they will upgrade it to 1GB Ram since they want it to be their "hit" phone. It will run android 3.0, it's 4.3 inch. I doubt it would be released by June as said by the rumors.
Did you hear about Alien Dalvik ? read about it, you will be amazed
vegetaleb
How come?
The Pyramid is already in the hands of GSM Arena and has been tested in speed against other dual core, the resolution is a great advantage but the 2 LGs are still faster!!!

wow, and your article is new.. Check out other websites, they all say that it is going to be release with android 3.0, yours says 2.3.2. Most of the other websites declare LG 3d as a bad phone, and most of the article I read are from pcworld.com, that's so weird; I know what i am going to research about today
haidcar
its probably early test unit, the pyramid looks amazing qhd screen dual core, the gpu adreno 220 said to be better then nvidia tegra 2 gpu. i just hope the include hdmi nfc and gyro and it will be a prefect phone.

Hello. I saw the HTC Incredible S for 650$.... do you think the price of the Desire or the Desire Z will decrease because of its release? Because if no, i will buy Desire or Desire Z tomorrow. Thanks.
AkDoV
Hey, where did you find the Incredible S at ? Give the Desire few more days ( 2 or 3) and ask about it's price, I bet it already started going down.
vegetaleb
IF it's at Amhaz the Incredible S price will decrease about 20/30$ per week until reaching the break even point of 520/550$, it will stay at this price for a couple of month then the dropping will continue ;)
Logically at my bday the price will be around 530$ but the choice will be larger too with Optimus 2X, SGS2,ARC...
EDIT: I just red the Techradar detailed review and it looks HTC finally is using a loud loudspeaker like nokia BUT the Incredible S screen is ''invisible'' under sunlight which is a great downside for Lebanon users
