eh either way, one would think if its in verizon inventory that it has already passed FCC nonsense no?

But the only potentially verizon bound HTC filing is PB31200 right? And another post mentioned that there are some discrepancies in bluetooth version. I'm confused.

FCC is simply yes or no. A major maker like HTC should have a pretty good idea that what they submit will pass (thank god no cell phone makers got bailout money) and they can basically launch a phone the day after it passes the FCC (not that its happened in the past). Hence you can bank on approval, maybe not when it will be approved but you should know approval is coming and plan accordingly.

I'm confused as well. To me, either the Incredible is the PB31200, or it hasn't gone through FCC yet. I doubt an HTC CDMA phone could get through the FCC without us finding it

If the Incredible isn't the PB31200, then what is? We also can't forget... PB31200 might be bound for Sprint...

See post 1397 for a few examples.

hopefully BGR or engadget will confirm this... if it's legit, they'll have it shortly.

I'm not an expert on megapixels, resolution etc. The original resolution of the photos labeled with ADR6300 are 3264x1952. Wouldn't this equate to >5MP? More like 6MP? Might be totally off...

The one picture may have been deleted, but there are some more pictures that were taken with our ADR6300

A little more searching came up with this site. Where it has the ADR6300 and 31200 in the same sentence, although i'm not exactly sure what the sentence says.

Looking at the pictures, the FCC filing has BTR6300B for the battery....could this correlate with the ADR6300 handset.



Not exactly sure what that means

I'm not sure what that means either. Here's a link to one of the test reports for the 31200 FCC filing. On the top of page 7, it states the 31200 has BT2.0+EDR

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=1239527&native_or_pdf=pdf

Interestingly, I can't find any listing for the PB31200 on the bluetooth site.

The bluetooth site does list the ADR6300 as listed in my earlier post.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if HTC had changed BT standards, I think it would have to be tested again.

That's the same thing that always happens, one blog gets a bit of news, then it's regurgitated everywhere. If you look towards the bottom of your link, it links back to Berryscoop which, AFAIK, were the first to post this.

This is encouraging news, no doubt, but I'm going to save the champagne until we hear something official, i.e. from Verizon or HTC.

FWIW...I'm not sure if this has been talked about before, but the Wifi certification is also posted online searching the ADR6300 model #

http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA8226

Assuming it takes a week or 2 to get Wifi certified it would be around the same time they filed for the HTC Incredible trademark (filed on Nov 19th)

I'm hoping that the PB31200 is just a model id for FCC and not the actual model (ADR6300). I have a good feeling about 6300 being listed as the batery model number. I hope this is more than just a coincidence.

Unless I'm wrong the FCC id is simply yhe 3 character company prefix and then the model number. Hence nm8 (HTC's prefix) would be added to the model number and be nm8pb31200 or nm8adr6300

I hope you're right. Aren't there two battery models listed for the 31200 though?

Interestingly, the voltage (3.7) of the battery is the same as the N1.

Interesting...maybe taken at HTC? The first part of the entries look like they say "INCREDIBLE daily build."

Looks like the picture taker is a HTC tester.

I thought so too, but a search for "NM8ADR6200" brings up no results. Wasn't the ADR6200 the Eris?

 

[zdro22]

Holy cow you guys are intense! I just log on to hear release date info and specs that a common guy/quasi techy would be interested in i.e screen size and speed. You guys have FCC filings and battery model numbers! Im lost yet oddly enjoying this ride..thanks!

 

[woodraskam]

Looks like Eris had a PB# when it passed through fcc too

HTC Desire Passes FCC, Gains Wi-Fi Certification | Android Phone Fans

granted it was called the Desire at that time.

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.

 

[Mykpfsu]

Nope. It was NM8PB00100 I believe. ADR doesn't really fit. I'm wondering if its not really the Verizon inventory screen but another like maybe Best Buy and we're seeing SKU's.

 

[drhill]

I think ADR is Verizon's model number, not HTC.

Just wanted to point out that the date on this is 1/4/2010. Don't know if that has any significance or not though...

You might be right. I don't think that the SKU and model number have to be the same.

Interestingly, though, a google of "ADR6200" brings up this
on the BB web site:

$499.99
