I think you need to look at these different phones as having interchangeable parts like if you build your own PC. One phone may have a different cpu, so they have different drivers loaded in the OS for that. Another might have a different radio/antenna (think NIC card) , different drivers for that. Different buttons (keyboard drivers). Screen difference (monitor drivers). The outside shell is just a molded case, everything else they can swap in and out without a huge deal. Once everything is finalized they just make adjustments to the assemble phase as needed.

The only part we see is the aesthetics and we make a big deal about it, but it probably isn't a huge deal for them to make changes when google or verizon is making big orders for their needs.
Take a close look here. Do those look like pretty much the same phone to you? They honestly don't remotely resemble each other, to me. I think, if anything, the Incredible kinda looks like the iPhone. I think the Bravo resembles the Nexus One MUCH more than the Incredible. As far as form factor and aesthetics go anyways.



Edit: By the way, I think this comparison picture all but confirms that the screen size for the Incredible is 3.7". Look at the size of the fingers on the hand in both shots. I think these two phones are fairly the same size, but the Incredible has more real estate above and below and has less rounded corners than the Bravo. So, I'm going to go ahead and say 3.7" screen is a go!
