There not even a subcategory for phone hardware, so good luck with that.

Can you imagine how many people's heads are going to explode when we go from having zero confirmed news, to literally dozens of reviews the minute the embargo ends?
What if its the Nexus One? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Yes, there is. Check my post here:

I also contacted the people running the contest at their email below to see when the embargo will be lifted and we can vote on it. Sneaky eh? Let's see if they respond

Just a thought.. Has it been confirmed that they are in fact releasing it with the name 'Incredible'? Maybe VZW reps have seen an HTC device with a different name.
I think it will be released as the Incredible because of the leaked inventory screen shots. IIRC, it was list as the ADR6300 model and description HTCINC ...
Eris was listed as the Desire in the same system. So it probably will change.
Rep: "We're also getting an Apple device!" [This perked me up real quick!"]
Me: "You're getting an iPhone, iPad...?!?!!?!?!?"
Rep: "It's essentially a mini version of the iPhone, we've already started testing... it won't be called the iPhone though."

I saw that and the catergory is "ACCESSORY" a phone is not an Accessory.

Just a reminder that the ADR6200 that was captured in the VZW inventory in September of '09 as the "Desire" became the "Droid Eris" upon official release.
Edit: s34n1811 and Nocturnal beat me to it!
So given that do you think the Eris was a special case because of the use of the Desire name by HTC's current device. I think HTC had more to do with the name change then VZW did. In any event we are very close to finding out something it just makes since.
Why would HTC embargo information about a phone thats been out for months?
Hello all, it's resident sleuth onlyever here with tons of JUICY confirmed information.
I visited my local Verizon store, and talked to one of my friends who works there. The conversation was as follows:
Me:"So, do you know of any new Android devices coming to Verizon?"
Rep:"Yeah, we're getting an HTC model, and the Google phone!"
Me: "So I know you're getting the Nexus One, and this HTC device---it's the HTC Incredible, with an 8 megapixel camera, Android 2.1 w/Sense."
Rep: "Yes, we know about the phone."
Me: "When can I expect to see it?"
Rep: "They don't ever tell us any release dates..."
Me: "Darn!"
Rep: "We're also getting an Apple device!" [This perked me up real quick!"]
Me: "You're getting an iPhone, iPad...?!?!!?!?!?"
Rep: "It's essentially a mini version of the iPhone, we've already started testing... it won't be called the iPhone though."
Me: "cool. So is it true that The End of life for the Eris is April 1?"
Rep: "I haven't heard that, but I know we're about to send out the 2.1 update to it..."
That was the substance of the conversation, as close to exact wording as possible.
I totally belive him, because he's a good guy, and I'm not the kinda person you lie to!
Thoughts???
Just a thought. As we're trolling for info from our "sources". Let's make sure that they're not getting their info from us. Like the supposed press release photo's. I think that we're creating enough waves that they might (reading our posts and repeating them to "us" as fact.
Main point make your source's source isn't your internet alias.
Thoughts: The mini iPhone was rumored for months. I am glad you mentioned it. I hate the big one, so why would I settle for a small one?
Interesting that they are already testing it and that he knew of the Incredible. Good work.
That stated, I don't trust Verizon CSR's. It not that I believe they are bad people, I just believe that they aren't well informed.
