I notice a lot of people on this board are similar to me in the fact that they purchase a phone, become comfortable and then keep it until it breaks. The only reason I'm looking to upgrade is because I want an Android device and I'm sick of BlackBerry OS. Again, if this thing comes out with less than stellar specs (yes I avoided using the word incredible to make a pun) then I can't see many people really going to pick this up when the N1 is clearly coming and will be a powerful device.

To clarify...my previous speculation suggested that the EOL for the Droid Eris was bad news because it was happening due to the fact that the Eris would be too similar to the Incredible.
Perhaps it could be argued that even the arrival of a phone like the Desire would cause the EOL for the Eris? But what I meant by bad news is the not just the EOL....but also the smaller battery. Also, the suggestion that the Incredible will have 256 RAM makes me think that I'm not going to get so excited just yet.
It seems like people have been pretty optimistic when suggesting that the Incredible may indeed look more like the Desire when it's finally released. I don't see it...and think this is very wishful thinking. I still think the Incredible and Supersonic look a lot alike but wonder about the specs lackign when compared to the N1 and Desire. So I think the styling of the Incredible is already happening with the Supersonic...even if the specs don't match. So it's not far fetched to believe that what we see is what we will get. I'm not a fan of that look as it is iPhonish...looks a bit dated and is nowhere as nice looking as the Desire. But I can overlook the looks. Overlooking the smaller battery and the unknown but possibly disappointing RAM is a different story. That would be enough to make me think about breaking my promise to myself and going to AT&T for the Desire...or getting an N1 on Verizon. Probably the latter would be true.
Simply put...if I could point to one thing that really takes the wind out of my sails it is the screen shot of the 1300mh battery. This makes me think this phone is indeed a step up from the Eris...but far from being incredible. If I'm wrong I will be very pleased.
