Verizon to release an Android handset on 1 December?
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
As a whole, the email looks like an official press release and this is a tad odd. For an instance, the part about the OS version is rather dubious, since it was just several days ago when the version 1.6 (Donut) appeared on devices available through T-Mobile. We hope to find out whether or not this is possible at the MOTODEV summit or CTIA that takes place in San Diego this week. Still, take a look at the entire post via the link to Plandroid. It´s interesting to know that the information has already been taken down from AndroidandMe on pretext an "embargo" was laid on the details. So, do you think that´s a confirmation enough and we should prepare to storm the nearest Verizon shop on 1 December?

The comments on that article mentioned the phone being announced tomorrow, so hopefully we don't have long to wait to find out the legitimacy of the information.

this is exactly the reason why i hate vzw. They have so many phones that suck but they finally get the best phone theyll possibly ever get and they take 2 more months to put out.

If you think vzw has soo many phones that suck. why are you in forum about one of there phones? lol...some people that waste space on this site should be tested for mental stability.

It's not about how long it's taking to get the phone out, it's about how far in advance people are speculating and tipping and guessing and leaking and whatnot. If the phone were coming out on 12/1/09 and you hadn't heard the leaks and speculation we've seen so far, you wouldn't care. The only legitimate reason to complain is if the phone is officially announced and VZW fails to meet the announced date. Neither VZW nor any other carrier has any obligation to fulfill speculation or otherwise put a phone out before it is ready. Grow up.

I agree with you with the lack of phones that people want but at the same time I am glad they are taking the time with this phone. They have rushed phones out in the past, namely the EnV3 and the EnV Touch, and we know that they should have tested and updated them more before release. I hope that by them taking some time with the release of this phone will help to make sure that it works very well right out of the box. I personally am excited about this phone. It is about time that Motorola got back in the game!!

i feel like December 1st is a very awkward time to release any phone, especially a phone that would increase sales immediately. That would mean that Verizon is just basically splitting the revenue from this phone between Q4 2009 and Q1 2010, which seems very odd. I was originally told by a google rep that this phone would be out in October, so my fingers are still crossed for October.

I dont believe this date at all. We dont release new product on tuesdays. Most of the time something new is released on a Sunday and rarely do we see a new device released on a monday.......I spoke to our Moto rep and he hinted at a November release date. So maybe it will be pushed out on the 29th?

I am not sure of this date either BGR posted this "We’ve received a screenshot of a Verizon Wireless calendar that shows in addition to marketing and merchandising dates, a Motorola Sholes target date of October 30th." I am hoping the Boy Genius has better information!

the dec 1 release date makes sense for one reason... android 2.0. altough the october 30 release date would be nice, im not betting on it. alot of controversy surrounds this phones release date, but look at previous vzw early releases, aka the storm last year. no one wants a buggy phone, so be patient and let motorola develop this phone!
