And notice the little hanging andoid guy above the computer! Some wondered why we hadnt heard anything until now, but it wasnt until just a bit ago we even had inventory picture to give us a sku number. But yes it does look like she is a phone tester!

I just wouldn't get my hopes up in hearing something in the next hours when Verizon hasn't said anything.
So far we are really going off the leaked video of a sprint employee, a Best Buy person saying it will be on sale 3/7, and a FCC filing that looks like a verizon phone. No confirmed information at this point.
At the risk of putting the whammy on all this good vibe coming out right now... i'd just like to (cough, cough cough) point.. (cough cough cough) out... (cough cough cough) this... (cough cough cough) post.... (cough cough cough)...
all in good fun!

Reason: post didnt include my original post
If you go to the Wifi cert page for the Eris, it has the PB# co-listed with the ADR#....the Wifi Cert for the Incredible doesn't have the PB# maybe so us gumshoes couldn't put 2 and 2 together.
Very good point.
So, using your approach, I searched the bluetooth site and found that both the ADR6200VW and the PB00100 went through within 3 weeks of one another. Same BT versions (2.1+EDR). Anyone know why they would put it through cert under both model numbers?
Interestingly, as I already posted, the ADR6300 went through bluetooth on 1/15/10 with BT2.1+EDR. Also, on 1/26 and 1/28 the PB92110 went through with the same certification. On 2/12 the PB92100 went through.
Could it be that 92100/92110 is the HTC model number for the INCREDIBLE? Has anyone ever heard of these phones before?
I tried calling up Verizon asking them if I could upgrade to the ADR6300 without mentioning HTC , Droid or Incredible to see if I could get the rep to spill the beans and verify it was in her system. No such luck. Maybe someone else can try that too lol
In the world of retail, the Model number and SKU number are NEVER the same number. NEVER! The model number is the manufacturer's number, while the SKU number is the Retailer's number standing for "Stock Keeping Unit."
Thanks for the information. As I have stated in the past, and as you may guess from my screen name, I don't work in the mobile phone/retail industry, so I didn't know that.

I'm pretty sure the 92100 is the Nexus One and the 92110 is speculated to be an AT&T version of the N1.

What is the ADR6200VW? Any theories? I'm thinking the VW might just mean something?
Oh -nevermind. It is the Eris. But it did have the VW after it. Do you think all Verizon Wireless phones use this naming convention? I hope not.

Could the bravo/desire and the incredible started off as the same phone and verizon thought f*** we cant be calling this phone the incredible if every network and there brother are getting the same phone... verizon called htc and said make us the desire throw on a better camera and we will buy it. when the incredible video popped up the other week was because some tech guy at the show saw it sitting there and was like aw snap look at this thing. when it was just a proto type to show the big wigs at verizon and they might of said okay now just make the back look better and you have a deal.

LOL, Verizon still hasn't put any information out, have they? It is all just more speculation, just because it showed up in a database somewhere doesn't mean they have publicly released anymore information.
We have more reason to believe it is coming, but really no more information then we had yesterday as far as release date.

Since that pic is dated Jan 20, I would guess that was "phone camo" to hide the actual styling, just like they do with preproduction cars in testing phase.
This is some good s**t! I know its not concrete but damn its somethin!
My gut is saying we"ll prob have an early April release. Just a guess
My best hunch is that we'll have this thing in the next 2-3 weeks! I'd bet ANYTHING that Verizon will sucker punch Google by releasing the Incredible before the N1 finds its way to Big Red!
Wow! What a great find, Shawn. For all of those RAM worriers, I'm going to say what I've alway said: They wouldn't give a high end phone (especially with a high end processor of 1GHz) 256mb of RAM. Again, they are trying to sell this phone. Even non techno users would think that once you have a few apps open it would lag, and then they would do they obvious thing: return it.

Ah back from Exile. Okay I got a message about those Verizon screens posted all over the net today. Apparently, I have a former students who is a Verizon customer service rep. I found him on Facebook and asked him about the screens. This is what he said:
"I don't have access to those sort of inventory systems but I can tell you that the screen shots going around with those skus listed are absolutley legit. One is a dummy unit, ending in du and the other one is a the working phone. When will be getting this? Hard to say. I would bet within the next two months. We will have both the Incredible and Nexus One coming out this spring."
It's not much, but it's a sort of confirmation that it's an actual Verizon screen. I sent him a bunch of messages, but he seems to have visitors at the moment.

Quick thought, I was searching all day through flicker for "HTC XXXXX" pictures, and I found the following Bravo, ADR6300, and PC36100
Note, I could not find any "Taken With a HTC Desire" photos. This leads me to believe that one of these 3 phones has actually been rebranded to the Desire, or they did amazingly well at keeping Desire photos off of Flickr. Just my 2 cents.
Oh and both the ADR6300 and PC36100 both had over a 5 MP camera.
