I haven't found it very intuitive. Can someone please tell me how to turn it to "Airplane Mode, or even Off?" I have a flight in a couple of days and might not have time to intuit or call tech support before then.

Have you tried holding the power button down for 2-3 seconds? That'll bring up the power menu and the flight mode option.

ScottC, I tried that and it just displayed the "regular" screen that it does when I press power, then eventually the screen went dark.

Anybody have an idea when there will be a four-band version? I really don't want to keep carrying multiple phones but i do so like the Incredible. I am waiting fior the iPhone too, and want to decide ASAP.

I ended up calling VZW Tech Support. When you're on your "home" screen with the big time @ top of screen, that's when pressing Power for 2-3 seconds brings up the power menu. I had tried pressing Power from the "sleep" mode with blank screen, and that was what didn't work for me.

I have a feeling I'll be making heavy use of their tech support line, either 800.922.0204 or *611 from your cell phone. The phone help desk rep also pointed me to demos at http://support.vzw.com

Asking "when" is pretty ambitious. I think you should be asking "if."

Are you waiting for a Verizon iPhone, or are you willing to go to AT&T for it? There has been some scuttlebutt that the Verizon iPhone has been pushed back to 2011, at the earliest. And that's IF VZW gets it.

if you have any problems with options i would try any of the incredible/android forums. or just type a question into google...much faster than calling vzw.

actually you can already use the wifi option that they have without paying for any of the apps that require a fee or using verizon's $30/month option.

oneeyejack -- I know about Verizon's USB tether. And rooting and using WiFi Tether; has Incredible been rooted yet? But do you know of a non-rooting wifi hotspot option for Droid Incredible?

You don't need to root the Incredible to tether it, just install PDAnet. Here's a forum post discussing this. I use PDAnet with my Droid, it's flawless - quick to connect, good (but not great) bandwidth, doesn't drop the connection, etc. It actually connects to the net faster than my old Verizon V740 Express Card! I called Verizon to try and pay for tethering, but they don't have a way to take my money...

the incredible isn't rooted yet but you can still tether. best of all, it's free. you don't have to pay for it and all you have to do is change a couple of settings! it's working on my phone. :D
