Given the hype around yesterday’s Web 2.0 event, it looks like Droid-Life ran a story pegging Thursday, November 18th as the newly suspected launch date of the HTC Merge. The HTC Merge is that sexy full-QWERTY slider that many of you have forgotten about, and while many rumors surrounding this device listed a November 11th launch date, it looks like we have a new rumor that pegs a November 18th date for the unveiling of this HTC world phone.
Features of the HTC Merge include:
- Android 2.2
- HTC Sense UI
- 5-Megapixel camera
- World roaming capabilities
- full-QWERTY slide out keyboard
If you check out the image below, it looks like Verizon is planning on launching the HTC Merge and re-launching the HTC Droid Incredible. We must also point out that this is the first time that the HTC Merge has been labeled as a DROID handset, we’re a little confused with the previous leaks showing the Bing search application.
What are your thoughts about the HTC Merge?

I’m between the continuum and the merge… I’ve been waiting for a head to head of these phones for a while, I can’t wait till my store gets them in stock. I’ve been leaning toward the merge for a while now, but every time I live up a fascinate the OLED screen gets me. Choices choices. First one with full root and source drop wins?
This is so my phone, I miss my touch pro 2 running android.
CRAP. November 19th is my last day in the 30 days to swap phones. Currently have the Fascinate which is wicked fast and a nice phone but the lack of dev support concerns me and I feel like the Merge might have more…

Htc merge has nice design and feature, i have been read so many review. But they are offering 5 meagpixel camera. don’t think it should be 8 mp. This is one reasons make me think about it before buy.
