We’re not too sure what’s going on here, but all of a sudden finding a HTC Droid Incredible for sale has become virtually impossible. No longer proudly on display on Verizon’s homepage, the only way to find the phone is to do a manual search for it. It’s still listed as available for sale, but clicking on the “buy” button redirects to a page which screams in bold letters that “the selection you made is unavailable at this time.“ Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam recently bemoaned that his company was unable to keep the device in stock thanks in part to a shortage of AMOLED displays from Samsung. But still…pulling the phone from the website because it’s sold out? That’s just strange.

Anything you want to tell us, Verizon?

UPDATE: According to Verizon, this is all just one big misunderstanding. Verizon is now giving away free 2GB microSD cards with the sale of each Droid Incredible. Because of this, the order number on the website had to be changed. This didn’t happen right away thus explaining perceived lack of availability.

Thanks Jinny and JoeBold!

    Look, the Incredible is anything but incredible, but we (the Verizon Troll Nation) have got to keep the pressure on anyone who likes the iphone. The last thing we want is people getting what they really want!

    How is it strange? They can’t effectively supply a product and so to keep big and proud on the homepage would be stupid.

    Don’t you love “investigative” reporting without the investigation? What happend to fair and balanced? Don’t get me started on Kelly with her bias! The truth will set you free!

    Bogus posting. Get real will you ? There is no removal of the Incredible from the Verizon Wireless website.

    Must be a pissed off iPhone enthusiast or Apple maven.

    Is it just me or is it unavailable again? I’m trying to use my New Every 2 upgrade and it gives me the message. It worked fine yesterday (unfortunately I didn’t pull the trigger then).

    I don’t know, my Verizon pages states, “Due to high demand, this device will ship by 6/16″, and this is pretty much what the salesman at the local store said today.

    Some one is playing games.

      I see it works again. Believe me, I’ve been trying all day. When the picture changed to ‘Will be shipped by 6/17′ (I noticed around 7 PM EST) I was able to upgrade.

    It comes back on June 22nd… but thats pretty far away… you might want to just wait until Motorola comes out with its new droids next month
