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?
TIA

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.
Interesting.

That is big news indeed. Crackberry.com posted about a few blackberry devices that are EOL along with a screen shot that shows other EOL devices in the VZW system. (see here: Verizon Gets Ready to Bid Farewell to Storm 9530, Curve 8330, 8830 and Pearl Flip 8230?! | CrackBerry.com ) I didn't see the Eris though.

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.

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!

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:

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

I agree. Both of the phone fronts look similar!

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.
Either way, we'll find out soon enough...

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.
