Wasn't aware of that option. Thanks for the tip and I may just do that, although I really want an Android phone with Sense.

You can load the Sense UI on any Android phone.

This time around, I wasn't looking at testman. Was trying a variety of combinations around phones.verizonwireless.com
Except the photo's have shown the name branded on the back so yes I think its the final name.

If that phone has the ROM, but let's face it...what phone doesn't have the Sense UI ported ROM?

Since when was that? You're talking about ROMs right?

Pretty sure all the ones with the name on the back were the early red phones. Don't think the name was on the back of the recent pics that had the Verizon logo on them.

Still in trials, but it looks like a pretty cool idea, and it looks pretty darn snappy in the demo.

Those were the preliminary photos of the red back (prior to Verizon branding.) The *new* photos of the soft black back with the Verizon logo on it don't show the word "Incredible" anywhere.
I concur with the idea that Incredible might not be the marketing name. Even though I think it should be.

Yes, but I also read somewhere here that if you replace the ROM on the N1 with Sense it precludes you from receiving further Android O.S. updates. Is there any truth to that?You can load the Sense UI on any Android phone.

It is still possible that we have yet to see the "final" final version of the Incredible.
They could swap out backplates at the very last minute.

I would discount the possibility of OTA updates if using a rooted phone with a ROM. But then again if the update is any good odds are the ROM will get updated in time.

Yes, thats how it works. No OTA updates, but typically if you flash a respectible ROM, they come out with new builds frequently.
I'm pretty sure the black back was the final. The red/pinkish back was the ugly test one probably colored so brightly to keep track of those test phones. The only red back that anyone even thought would be awesome was the computer rendered version someone created yesterday.
Just my input though
after all the red back had no detail and the black was even branded by Verizon.

Okay, gang. I'm going to go a bit off-topic a bit here, only because this is something I feel most will find interesting.
With March Madness underway Laptop Magazine has created their own March Madness Smartphone competition, in which they pit the best handsets from all the major telco's and mfg's against each other in bracketed format.
They've already completed three games with the iPhone 3-GS handily beating up the HTC Touch Pro II, the Moto Droid having "devoured" (pun intended) the Blackberry Curve 8530 and the Blackberry Bold having crushed the Palm Pixi. The game being played now is the HTC HD2 vs. BB Storm 2.

March Smart Phone Madness Game 4: HTC HD2 vs. BlackBerry Storm 2
The N1 is up against the Palm Pre Plus in the first round, though that game has not started. I'm thinking if we spread the word around to all the major forums here at Phandroid and get enough members to check in and vote we can sway the results to the point where we have a Moto Droid vs. N1 final. For the Moto Droid to get there, however, it will need to get past the iPhone 3-GS. So this is our opportunity to stick it to all the Apple Fanboi's and Steve Jobs himself. So spread the word and get out the vote!

I would say it's definitely an old revision, because the speaker port was moved from the notch on the red one to the flat surface on the black. Even so... that doesn't mean we won't see a different flavor of backplate at launch.

Maybe we'll have several color choices like the Desire.
That would be pretty cool, but i know i would go in to pick mine up and i would get the crappy color because its the only one left

Actually, the red back was branded by Verizon also. It was in the lower left, just hard to see because the back was so glossy.
It's still hard to see, but under the HTC Incredible branding, it says Verizon Wireless
