MS is adding some funky new phones. I think they're a bit too unique, but here they are:

HTC Contemplates Writing Own Mobile Software (Or Buying It From Palm) - Htc os - Gizmodo

There's been a lot of speculation that HTC would buy Palm (which has a tremendous OS but is going belly up), especially since it would greatly assist them in combating Apple's lawsuits (Apple stole a decent bit from Palm's old PDAs).

Those two could combine to make some tremendous phones, as long as they land on a major network and don't do the stupid t-mobile or sprint only routine. I'd hate to see them go as a verizon/android fan, but more competition is good for the consumer (especially if HTC/Palm actually try to outwork/outcreate the competition instead of resorting to scare tactics and lawsuits.

[UPDATE] HTC Incredible $199.99 at CostCo! [RUMOR] | Android Phone Fans

It's worth noting that Costco doesn't currently sell VZW phones, so it's possible they entered it as a T-Mobile phone until they add that option in the database.

Ours does (Mayfield). We bought an Env3 for my mother-in-law last year when we had her added to our plan. They've done this for the past few years. I'm pretty sure the Avon Lake store does as well. I assumed they all did.

I'll probably upgrade to an Android-basd phone as soon as Words With Friends or a similar Scrabble app is released. I read the Incredible's processor is underclocked to around 800 MHz, but VZW is saying 1 GHz.

It's a snapdragon, so once people get it rooted they'll be able to overclock the thing to about 2.2ghz. The Droid is a 600MHZ processor that Verizon downclocked to 550, we've got it running at 1300.

NIce, I like having the optical controller when I want to hold it at the base.

I think my 1.5 year holdout on upgrading is finally over, which means the Nexus Two will be announced weeks afterwards :p
