The Fleet Status site is:
https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/
At the site, you can find information about the interior features, livery, etc., for every plane in United's fleet.
To determine which plane your flight will be on go to mobile.united.com and then click on flight status. Put in the flight number for your flight and just have it use today's date (occasionally it'll say flight not operated on this date in which case just choose one of the other 3 dates it lists). In the address bar you'll see something like this:
mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=415&flig htDate=9%2F15%2F2015&origin=JFK&destination=SFO
https://mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=415&flig htDate=9%2F15%2F2015&origin=JFK&destination=SFO
Just change the flight date to match the day of your scheduled flight and then change the origin / destination as necessary. Once you do that look in the details tab under aircraft # and if they have assigned a plane it'll say something like #3506 and the type of plane. Once you know that go to the United Fleet website listed above and cross-reference the four digit number against the "aircraft" column under the appropriate aircraft type.
Keep in mind that things change as they get closer and sometimes either they won't have assigned an aircraft yet or it'll be assigned #0 if it's a few days away and they are anticipating aircraft movement.
You may also check the specific fleet variant of each flight at the United Cargo site under "Schedules & tracking". This data tends to be reliable starting 7 days in advance, but is always subject to change.

I just looked at the EMB120s out of SFO,LAX and DEN and found all but 229SW have flown in the past week.
The second list of shared aircraft is another story, but the vast majority have flown DL/UA operations out of DEN and SLC. 216/217/224 are not found for UA.

Flew N464UA yesterday in 1A. Seemed to me that Row 1 was further back than on any prior A320 I've been on - matching the 'better' legroom I've seen on sCO 737s. As part of the latest mods, have they been adjusting this? I noted that in addition to the windowless panel nearest the bulkhead wall, I have two windows for my own use. That's the effective space of three window panels.

Looks like N175UA exited HKG on the 19Oct UA 862.
N117UA entered HKG on 17Oct UA 869 (16Oct)
N199UA entered HKG on 18Oct UA 869 (17Oct)
Not sure what is happening with those 744, but they are now short as UA 869 on 20Oct and UA 862 on 22Oct have been subbed with a 777. N121UA has been sitting in SFO since the 18Oct without any activity.
N117UA entered HKG on 17Oct UA 869 (16Oct)

From what I can tell, UA's second 789 is scheduled to be delivered on Oct 28.

Per the 3Q earnings call - appears that United bought two used 737-700s and instead of retiring 11 3 class 767-300s, they are converting them to 2 class

Is there an engineering reason for this you've heard? Something like how airbii of UA's vintage (model year?) require significant wing modifications to install sharklets.
