The HTC Droid Incredible is suffering from AMOLED shortage

The HTC Incredible is an Android (v2.1) phone with similar hardware to the Google's Nexus One. It has a large 3.7" 480x800 WVGA touch AMOLED display, made by Samsung. It costs $99 with a new service plan for Verizon, but it's actually unavailable now. Verizon says that component shortages are to blame - specifically the AMOLED display (made by Samsung).
