You might be on to something. I wouldn't be surprised to see another communication on Monday that shows that second picture in full. And if it is a box blown open...hopefully it's not just one of these guys in it:

Those sites are such wastes of time. I hate when I search for something and one of those spamming, click hoarding sites "has news" on something like a Nexus One or the Incredible. When you go, its poorly written and just basically regurgitates what's already been said on other, more reputable sites. Internet trolling at its worst...
Speaking to the ongoing "Lost" like symbol deciphering... I think the latest memo is talking about the "journey" starting Monday with the release/announcement of those MS Pinks followed by more announcements coming each day after. Incredible announcement being Friday or Thursday as the coup de gras. Selfishly, I hope nothing is released Tuesday or Wednesday as I am out of town and not capable of getting to a VZW store those days.
We shall see....

Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I like to think that the second picture might actually be an Android flying out of the box, one fist thrust forward, kinda like Mighty Mouse. But I also could just be seeing things.

You can interpret it however you want. It could just be that someone was really excited about getting laid next weekend and their journey to the pink has finally begun...

Yeah... you can call up Verizon and find out when your annual upgrade is, or you can check your My Verizon account on the web. You may be able to talk them into giving you an early upgrade in order to get the phone for free. I did that in December last year to get my Droid, though it did take me a few calls to 611 to get my way. Tip: be extremely nice.

Maybe they changed the name from Incredible to HTC Journey ? haha.
sorry i didnt go into more detail last night, i was wore out, long day at work. i was in store because my wifes bb tour crapped out because of the update. while they were swapping it out i questioned him, he quoted everything that anonimac had posted about specs and it going down on monday. so im guessing he has some sort of internal email about the release of this phone. and with him telling me to come back monday i have a feeling that everyone on here is gonna be super happy. i figured it was really cool to have a physical verizon employee confirm everything. (not that i dont trust anonimac or any of our other esteemed/elite group)
i'll catch back up with him monday to see incase nothing much has broke loose on here yet.
Just tried calling *611. Acted like I had no idea about how phones worked and that I did a Google search on new Verizon phones and said that the HTC Incredible seamed interesting.
Needless to say, she told me she's never heard of it. Think I am going to stop by my local store today to see if I can find a rep willing to give me any other information.

Here are the two images for you to compare. I tried to get them down to about the same size for comparison sake:
The original photo, although it looks photoshopped (because it was, but more than likely by VZW themselves) was confirmed independently by several different sources. Anonimac had his sources here, and a few of the blog sites that check sources instead of regurgitating information in their blogs and on twitter, also confirmed the picture with the box "Top Secret Codename: 6"
The hole that it has broken through is identical from one picture to the next...the only difference is the size of the blast on the right, and the placement of the box-corner.
However...I think that is only important if the messages weren't in fact confirmed by several different people as being authentic...and just the way he/she received it.
im sure that this is what my csr was looking at. he read it off word for word....

Please know that this pains me more then you know. I am not trolling, so lets get that out of the way. If you look at all of my posts I have been more then helpful up until this post. Just no one calls fall play this is on topic. Without further delay.
I have taking the time to read over the PDF file that we where given. There are allot of discrepancies. More then Verizon would ever allow. More over the PDF should have been created by HTC, being that its a HTC product. I would like to note that I have my doubts now if the phone will come with the 8Gb moviNAND. Reason being is if that PDF is correct then there is no mention. But if its a fake then we have yet to see any solid proof of the memory. Other then a couple testers who have yet to determine if the phone was misreading the SD card even when removed. Do remember that even test phones have bugs. The other thing I have found while going through the PDF is allot of bad references. One section mentions SD card expandable to 16Gb while another will say 32.
What I think I am trying to get at is I would think that the end of the month release maybe true. But people have had plenty of time to create a multitude of bogus info. If that info is placed well enough it can be mistaken for fact rather then fiction. Please don't flame me for taking precaution. I heed you all to take precaution in trusting all these fast leaking rumors and "facts". There maybe allot of disappointment in the future.
Meanwhile I hope this phone is just as it says. Incredible

ok, so i'm reading a lot of information on our thread and many other external sites and just want to clarify a few things, at least as i understand them.
I'm not saying the Incredible will be announced on Monday. The internal memo we, and other sites, have was an internal teaser/announcement to Verizon employees that Monday is the start of a journey. We all know that Monday is definitely dedicated to the Project Pink phones from MS but i've also been told be several sources that we will see 5-6 (not clear if it's 5 or 6 yet) new phones over the next month from Verizon and the Incredible will certainly be one of those. Our previous dates are not impacted as far as i'm aware but we may see more information (press kit, launch kit, accessories, etc...) or an announcement of the Incredible over the next week.
Either way this is an exciting time for anyone on Verizon as their portfolio is about to grow by 5-6 more devices and Verizon will be, in my opinion, better positioned than any other wireless carrier to provide a fit-for-purpose product for just about every demographic and phone segment, something that AT&T held the crown in for years. By the end of this year we'll see or (maybe two) LTE phones which will blow the pants off of everyone when Big Red starts implementing its change management processes and proven track record of infrastructure deployments and hardening. It's a good time to be a VZW customer...
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...("this is the best microSD card"..."nah huh...THIS is the best microSD card"..."that's like so photoshopped"..."i'm old but pump iron watch out if i see you at the sizzler whippersnappers"...rinse repeat)

I received an general email two days ago from my firm's Verizon CSR with an invitation to view a demo of Verizon's LTE network. Since the email gave me her email address, I wrote her back asking whether she knew anything about the Incredible's release date.
She wrote back saying that the blogs were saying it would be out by the end of the month. She said that while that might be true, the buzz in her office was that the Incredible was still in testing. She asked me whether I wanted more information as she received it and I said yes.

'nuff said...take it or leave it.
Also forget the fact that is says 16, 32 or any other size on the Equipment Guide, this is common, same thing was the case with the ERIS...they just check them all off so that when you're in the store and some 5 dollar per hour non-genius has to look up "if it works with an 8 GB card" the answer comes back as yes for 8, 16, 32, etc...

I would like to live in a world where other peoples word is worth is weight in gold.
P.S. Anon I appreciate you. But I don't trust in things I can not prove. We have seen the phone in a video and so that for now is something that is proven.
