HTC Merge, the high-end smartphone that was rumored not too long ago to be set to land on the market as the successor of DROID Incredible at Verizon Wireless, has been spotted in the Cellebrite, suggesting that it might not be to o0long before the device would actually hit the shelves.

Moreover, some of the latest rumors around the Internet suggest that we're to expect for this Android-based device to be launched at Verizon on November 18th, which is as soon as tomorrow.

There have been a lot of rumors on the matter, baked by a series of product listings, and it appears that info on the launch event for this device also emerged.

A Verizon HTC Merge/HTC Incredible “Cabaret” device is expected to be launched on Thursday, November 18th, which can be seen as a clear indicator that the handset in question is the long rumored new "Incredible" smartphone.

Moreover, the device is called “HTC Droid Merge,” and is said to be a world phone, which comes in line with previous leaks on the matter.

Verizon has included its high-end Android-based smartphones in a series called DROID, and the new HTC Merge should join that family of devices too, even if some suggested it might not do so.

The news on this event, which comes from Droid-Life, is complemented by the apopearance of this device in the Cellebrite system, all pointing to a very near launch of the handset on Verizon Wireless' network.

Of course, nothing is yet official on the matter, but, in case rumors pan out, we should hear some more info on this in the near future.

In the meantime, we should note that the upcoming device is expected to sport some very impressive features and specs when made available, and that it might even include a sliding QWERTY keyboard, the same as some of the Motorola DROID devices do.

??? Incredible HD is the Droid X equivalent, and Merge is the Droid 2 equivalent. How does the Merge become the Incredible HD?

I do not want a hardware keyboard like the Merge has, but I still want HTC. Thus, the Incredible lives on regardless of what happens with the Merge. It is like saying that the Droid 2 is the new Droid X. Both live on as complimentary alternatives.
