I'm so lost at this point. Everything on all of these forums seems so contradictory. Newsradio, one more time for the record (well for me at least) can you state what you do know for sure? I was under the impression you confirmed the incredible (which would look just like Touch HD), I think I've just gotten lost somewhere, please refresh me.

This whole thing just makes no sense...I still don't understand why newsradio feels like he needs to delete all of his posts. The rest of us are just going to quote them anyways and there's not a thing he can do to get those off of the site. I feel like he's not protecting his job as much as plausible deniability may play a role.
Both engadget and eye witness accounts back the Incredible name. It was also a name found in the leaked 2.1 ROM. Maybe Incredible is the Verizon name of the device or maybe its simply not going to Europe named the incredible (the HTC Desire didn't make it to Europe either). Though in the grand scheme of things the name doesnt really matter.
Droid Developer Verizon has something “INCREDIBLE” up their sleeves..
HTC Incredible is coming to Verizon, better live up to its name -- Engadget Mobile

You, sir, have provided us with no credible evidence about what you know or what you do. Add to that a number of mentions of the "Incredible" including from a Verizon employee's HTC rep. Now, it may not exist overseas. I'll give you that. But in all likelihood, it's a carrier specific custom model in the US and not just a CDMA version of the Bravo.

i think the passion = the touch hd newsradio talks about.
i think the incredible = us bravo.

Don't be lazy, he posted this 2 pages ago:
HTC Touch HD, will be the Bravo/Passion(imagine this phone,but with optic mouse)
Media Sync,(wireless)
Inner Circle (Advanced, not been seen before)
Front facing camera
Touch panel,no buttons
Release date to be confirmed this week
Android 2.1
5 MP Camera, with flash
Optic mouse
Htc Sence ui
Snapdragon 1ghz, not underclocked
This picture is just an image, forget whats on the screen, just look at the shape and style. There is obviously NO windows mobile.

The Passion is the Nexus One. Someone already reported that the Nexus One bootloader has the name Passion in it. The beauty of Verizon's Nexus One is that it'll be identical to the current model (except for the CDMA radio) so I wouldn't expect the specs to change, per Google.
The Bravo newsradio is speaking of that looks like the Touch HD I'm betting is headed to AT&T for the US model. Makes sense. They're already reported to be getting some HTC Android phones in the first half of the year, and the Bravo would be an easy port to AT&T being that they're GSM.
The Incredible is likely Verizon's custom CDMA build of a high end Android phone, a non-qwerty compliment of the Droid. If it really is scaled back to 850MHz, it's probably to differentiate from the Nexus One. Verizon likes to tinker with the design/features. Nothing new here.
Just my 2 cents.

Then why in the leaked roadmap does it call the Bravo the Incredible a few times?

Ruben understands what I mean. I have read that whole post, but nothing ever seems to be clear with him. With as many names as are in the mix right now and the fact that he keeps calling it bravo/passion makes everything extremely convoluted. I don't understand how he can say beyond a doubt that the incredible is a non-existent device, but still has no idea what the name of the phone that he seems to be able to speak so much about. It becomes increasingly hard to believe what he has to say as there are no links to information or solid info on what he is saying.
I agree with a previous poster that said you have to take all information on a forum with a grain of salt and of course I think we all do that, but at some point in order to gain any credibility to statements you have to provide some sort of proof. To date I don't think there is any information to back up anything that he has said, it's like believing in the words of Nostradamus because you're scared he might actually be right.

RUBEN: I sent you a PM on an unrelated topic.
FORUM: I agree, I'm getting very confused. I wish they'd just come out and say this is what you're getting and this is when you'll get it. And if it comes to Verizon, either people will wait or they'll go get the Droid. They will still make money.
I don't know why they can't give us some info.

I agree all the way. I might be switching networks soon if they don't give us any info.

I think you're right about the Passion = Nexus One. Between the Bootloader and the picture label data on this forum a few days ago, it's pretty much conclusive.
With respect to the Bravo/Incredible, Ruben makes a good point; what's your take on the European roadmap referring to the Bravo as the Incredible?
Forum: Please forgive me- I'm a n00b with Android and this forum, but who is Droid Developer, and does he have any credibility? I did notice in the leaked roadmap that the Tide is pictured with a red back cover in one shot, and a green back cover in another. Isn't it possible that HTC is making some of its devices available in different colors/combinations? If so, the fact that Droid Developer reported a metallic red back cover doesn't necessarily mean that the Incredible is not the US Bravo. Droid Developer may have been given inaccurate information about the processor (remember he was TOLD 850mhz, he didn't see it himself) and/or the phone he was able to see may have been under clocked for some reason (maybe they are playing with processor speed vs. battery life to try and find the best compromise).
Either way, I agree that all of this information/speculation is very confusing! Bottom line is that I can't wait to dump this error-riddled Storm 1 for a high-end Android device without a physical keyboard. Oh well, I guess the wait goes on...

Thanks Ruben.
Fair enough regarding the dark rooms. Again, since I don't work in the industry, I'm not sure how these pre-released phones are shown to different individuals. You certainly make sense though.
The leaked 2010 roadmap also shows the Tide with different colored backs:

Tide with metallic green back:

Either way, like vapordub said, I think I'm done believeing anything that doesen't come directly from HTC or VZW. Hopefully, that will be sooner rather than later.

I'd even be willing to go a LITTLE bit farther than that. I'm done, and always have been, believing anything that doesn't come directly from HTC, VZW OR from someone who has pictures or some sort of proof they can offer us, that we can see. "Because I said so" just doesn't cut it anymore, and never really has cut it with me. Glad more people are starting to agree.
I dont know where this guy got his info from , but if its true its right around the cornor . Scroll down read the comments made by "Cole"

As reported from BGR, the HTC Bravo will apply to European users, while the handset will be named the HTC Passion for those of you in the U.S.
As for the release of the handset, we are hearing that the Passion will be available sometime in January next year, while Europeans will get the HTC Bravo three months later on the T-Mobile network.
We hope we have cleared up some of the confusion regarding the handset. For more details on the phone, check out our earlier post here.

Not in a dark room? So I can get rid of my conspiracy theory map that I have based on the Dewey decimal system between Roswell and Marlin Monroe? That map has the dark room’s location on it along with “solid info” although the solid info is that I am bored at work and want to go home.
