Now more leaks reinforce the tip we got from Verizon techs. AndroidForums has posted a leaked manual and the forum also has a post showing the HTC Incredible in Verizon's CellBrite machine, which transfers phone numbers between handsets

As far as I'm aware,the phone is a repackaged Desire with an 8Mb camera, and will only be available in the USA.

When you think about it, most phones are repackages of other models.  One of the reasons I went off SE was that you bought a new phone, and all it was, was the old phone in a new case.  Same, I have to say, with BlackBerry, as it's a generic OS, as with Android.

yeah but you get new tech - i.e. a better camera, better GPS, better memory with the newer phones running Android.

If you want an Android phone the Desire does look the dog b******s.

I'm sure it will make its way over the border (I'm talking about Canada here... but the networks are too crappy here to offer a decent deal)

It's true, Sam, the technologies do improve. It's just a bit boring when you switch on a new ohone' and it looks more or less the same as the old one.

[Simon]

Phone, even.
