The Incredible should at least be on par with the N1.
Agreed, 100%. Theres no way VZW would release a phone in lieu of the impending N1 release AND dub it "Incredible" without stuffing it with at least 512mb. Basic thinking about differentiating an inventory (from Eris), competition from other carriers (AT&T w/ Desire), and even inter-carrier (N1) says it needs 512mb ram.
Also, the guy on the video who filmed the Incredible said the phone was "really fast." I know the snapdragon's got something to do with that but ram is a huge part as well. I mean, any Eris (256mb ram) owner will confirm the phone bogs down with a bunch of apps running.

I agree as well. Can't see putting a 1 gig processor, HD recording and so on with out having similar specs to the Desire, or N1
hey guys. i'm on verizon and was going to get the "tour 2" on bb, but as a result of all the delays i researched and found this phone, which looks a lot better. i was just wondering, will this be dual mode and have wifi? these are two big things for me as ill be abroad for a while next year. thanks in advance and cant wait for the incredible!

Wifi, yes. I don't believe I've seen anything about the Incredible being a world phone, or having a sim slot. But ya never know till there's an official release...
2 of the pics from this person has sprint in the pics
Here's what I think:
Bravo = Desire
PC36100 = Supersonic (since all of the PC36100 pictures I found were taken by the person who had some Sprint stuff in their pictures)
ADR6300 = Incredible
Both the Incredible and Supersonic will have a camera over 5 MP. As for release date. God I hope soon.

Yes, two are the Sprint Hero and Touch pro 2. Both HTC phones. If I'm, as well of others, am right and the person is a HTC tester that wouldn't be out of whack.
Bravo = Desire
PC36100 = Supersonic (since all of the PC36100 pictures I found were taken by the person who had some Sprint stuff in their pictures)
ADR6300 = Incredible

ADR is the prefix for Verizon SKU's, it is not a model number prefix for HTC.

Bravo, ACR6300, and PC36100 are all device names on flickr. i.e. when a picture is taken by these devices it's embedded within the jpeg's exif data what device took the picture. As mentioned earlier these were the 3 device names that I found on flickr today. I couldn't however find a Desire.

one of the pics has sprint center quiktrip and when I did a google search showed the sprint campus at Kansas and quiktrip supplies the food for the workers.

Ok so I'm just trying to track some of these pictures taken by the PC36100.
Just think if we put our efforts into something productive.
Ha I should be putting that effort into studying right now... but all this new information coming out is making me crazy! I just can't get away from it!
It says the Blackberry Tour 2 was found in Verizon's system and the date is January 1, 2010. The Tour 2 has yet to be released. I also believe the Devour was found in the system around the 22nd of January, and that has a March 15th release? So we may have another 2 months of waiting. Like I said, I have no clue at all, just going based on those two findings.
I thought i would comment on the RAM speculations and make some educated guesses. I think there are 2 ways that companies/providers are measuring the ram. Some measure just system memory and some measure system + CPU memory. I would imagine the N1 and Desire both have 512 system but HTC added in the 64 on the snapdragon to = 576. I would also assume the Eris is 256 on board plus 32 on the CPU = 288, though i am not familiar with the Eris CPU specs.
So looking at it that way the Incredible in the worst scenario would have 256+64 = 320MB RAM. Although i expect 512+64.
Again, this is all assumptions on my part, if someone knows more about these specs i will retract my statement.
Not to beat a dead horse, but after looking at several pics of the incredible again tonight, I believe the screen is one of two sizes.
It most likely will be a 3.5" skinny format something like the Eris, or a narrow 4.3" screen, (not likely). It just doesn't seem to look like the Desire as far as the relationship of the width to the height...
If it comes out with a 3.5", I will be dissapointed. It doesn't make sense that they would shoot themselves in the foot like that?

... there's that date again. Only this time it's the confirmed release date for AT&T's very first Android phone, the Motorola Backflip. Wouldn't it be nice for Verizon to come along and make this date simply "Incredible" for them?

Isn't the Devour supposed to come out on the 25th (TOMORROW) or is that just from Best Buy?

This is really digging, but the very top of the visible text on this photo say FM radio, so hopefully this will be an included feature with the incredible.
Days like these are always the best. I don't feel like I'm waiting hopelessly for nothing haha. Tomorrow is a new day and, who knows, maybe we'll get some more info?

The more that leaks, the more reason for Verizon or HTC to stop being hush, hush.

I think it's a bull you're beating. There won't be a 'skinny' 3.5 or "Narrow" 4..3. It will be 3.7" the most popular - probably the most widely, massed produced size screen right now. The bad photos and angles tell you about the same thing as the 256 MB's RAM.

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked and answered before (I searched just in case, to no avail).
With all the talk of what the RAM might be in the Incredible and comparing that to some of the phones that have recently been released and are on their way:
The Nexus One has 512 MB RAM, but also 512 MB Flash. I pretty much understand the role of RAM, but what does Flash memory relate to, and is this a level you anticipate will be the same in the Incredible as well?
Ok guys, this is pretty big. According to the aforementioned site, the word came down that the HTC Droid Eris has gone "End Of Life" (EOL), effective today. While there are still Eris phones in the pipeline - a lot of them - new sales of them to Verizon has ceased. This is key for the Incredible's release, as you can guess.

Actually I think I was mistaken. I could identify the two phones not in the cradle, hero and touch pro 2, but does anyone know what the phone in the cradle is?
Has anyone pointed out that the supersonic and the incredible have eerily similar styles. Notice the Ear Piece Mesh.
Once again I'm putting out the prediction that the flickr ADR6300 device is Verizon's incredible with a 6.4 MP camera, and the PC36100 device is the supersonic with 6.4 MP camera. And the Incredible will be more comparable to the supersonic than desire or nexus one.
Oh man what a day, I was in class for 4 hours this evening and I come back to some crazy info and detective work...keep it up you guys, the contributions are amazing

This is big news. A while back (3 or 4 weeks ago), I saw the ADR6300 on the BT web site and wasn't sure what it was, so naturally I googled it. The only hits were Asian character blogs that were very poorly translated through google. I don't have a link, but I distinctly remember one of them claiming that the ADR6300 was the much more powerful follow-up for the Eris on VZW. At the time I dismissed it as speculation, but this certainly lends some credibility to that claim.

I've said it! But I've also hoped that the look of the Incredible would be more like that of the Desire. I was told when I made this comment previously that the Incredible may indeed come out looking more like the HD2. I don't know my bu&& from a hole in the ground but it the Supersonic and Incredible sure look alike to me!
I'm totally loving the rumors that are flying today!

I've never said they looked similar, but certainly thought it. It kinda makes you wonder. I'm really hoping all this detective work continues to reveal big things. I wanna get rid of my VX6900 (Touch). And once I do, I'll use that leaked Desire ROM on it and put Android 2.1 on an ancient handset. BWAHAHAHAHA!
one of the pics has sprint center quiktrip and when I did a google search showed the sprint campus at Kansas and quiktrip supplies the food for the workers.
The Sprint Campus is in Overland Park, Kansas. Overland Park is the largest suburb on the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro area. I live about two miles from the campus. It is on the intersection of 119th St and Nall for anyone who wants to Google Earth or Google Map it. Sprint Center is the arena in downtown Kansas City. It is where the Big 12 basketball tournament is going to be this year.
Also, this last pic: IMAG0028.jpg on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
is of the Borders and Old Navy at the intersection of 119th St and Metcalf Ave; just a few blocks from the campus.

looks like I-35, you can see a KS liscense plate on the Maxima when looking at the pic in large resolution.
This person is/was undoubtedly in Kansas City/Overland Park and working for Sprint. And they went to Ruth's Chris on the Plaza...best Kobe ever

Actually have no idea about this. I observe this topic it’s looking nice, all post is great and interesting. I think this post increase my knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

Don't you mean a dead bull I'm beating,
You probably are right because anyone can inadvetrtantly squeeze a picture to make an object appear more narrow than it actually is. I only brought it up because if this phone is a tall 3.5" in the same form factor like the Eris, (not same resolution), I would be very dissapointed.

That's cool. Thanks. Do you know who sent out that tweet I couldn't find it in here?

I think that would be bad news. The Eris wasn't a "performance" devices. It was more of a low end phone to get on the cheap. Unless the Devour is going to replace it (HTC wouldn't be happy) I would guess that may mean the Incredible is more Legend then Desire. The only good think is that would make my decision for this or the N1 easier.

From the picture investigation yesterday, it was determined that the camera on the Incredible is > 5MP, and there was another device which seemed to use the same camera (PC36100). The person who took these pictures appeared to be a sprint employee. This and the similarity in styles between the leaked supersonic and Incredible photos leads me to believe that the Incredible and Supersonic are their next tier above the current N1/Desire/Bravo devices.
I know that the PC36100 isn't the Legend, because I found pictures tagged with "Taken With a HTC Legend" on Flickr as well.

Maybe not so. Perhaps because the Droid was more popular, and because of the droid coming down in price, perhaps that is now the "budget" device. It definitely can no longer be the "performance" device with a snapdragon device coming on board.

It's all good. Devour=new Eris. Incredible=new Droid.
