Verizon version of Nexus One to be available March 23rd?
On Friday, we reported that the Nexus One had made it past the FCC. As we all know, the next carrier that will have the honor of providing service for the Android 2.1 device is Verizon. According to Neowin, we now have a date when Big Red will start supporting the phone, which is the first CDMA version of the handset. A tipster close to the situation has told the site that March 23rd is the day when Big Red customers can buy the phone from Google's web site and have it activated over Verizon's CDMA Ev-Do network. Currently, only T-Mobile supports the N-One. March 23rd happens to be the opening day of the CTIA show in the U.S. and it is not known if Verizon will be holding a press conference to discuss the Nexus One. Pricing also is an unknown. Currently the handset runs unlocked for $529 and costs $179 with a 2 year T-Mobile contract. The Nexus One is manufactured by HTC and is sold by Google at google.com/phone. Right at this moment, it is the only Android phone running the 2.1 OS and Flash 10.1 is expected to be made available as a download to the phone sometime in the first half of the year.

I really would want some hands on time with the phone before I make such a big purchase. Since its not at Tmobile stores and I don't know anyone with the phone i'm SOL. I have my droid and i'm happy with it! And for all you early adaptors, I would give the nexus one some time on verizon to see if its going to have the same 3G connections the GSM version was having.

I actually could care less whether it is better than the iPhone. It is the network that is the issue. Had a iPhone 3GS and was in upstate Vermont and not only didn't i have 3G service, i had NO service at all for over 3 hours! Sold the iPhone on fleabay next day, Great phone but unless your "in" AT&T's service area, doesn't cut it. Hopefully the Nexus One will be the answer for me.....................we will see :)

If its on Verizon then yes it will be the answer. I tried at&t and they sucked. Verizon really does have a better network. No carrier is perfect everywhere, but I've tried other carriers and I travel alot to visit family and I have to say that hands down Verizon is better.

Will the Nexus One and HTC Incredible be two different phones but almost identical in performance and hardware specs?

4. mthoren68 posted on 27 Feb 2010, 07:40

Yes, basically. The N1 will be sold through Google, the Incredible will be sold through Verizon, which is why I am going with the Incredible. It has an optical track pad instead of the ball, it lacks the noise cancelation technology, it looks to have a better camera, the other differences are negligible. For something like this store support instead of having to go through a website means a lot to me.

5. trevor83 posted on 27 Feb 2010, 08:40

Ok, thanks. I was confused at first that they were the same phone. I too will be waiting for the Incredible, I like the optical track pad as well.

6. herbiederb posted on 27 Feb 2010, 09:30

RAM may be less on the Incredible. Keep in mind that N1 will be updated directly from Google and software comes out 1st for their phone which may be important for many users. Poor Droid people dont have 2.1 yet officially.

Do you know if any of these phones will have GSM and CDMA together? It means a lot to me.

13. rehnhart posted on 27 Feb 2010, 12:33

Actually, it is the carrier who has final word on OTA updates.

7. TBONEJF posted on 27 Feb 2010, 11:09

How come Verizon always gets theirs early. Wheres the date for AT&T 3G version? If it comes out already for AT& I would of bought that first.

10. cellgeek82 posted on 27 Feb 2010, 12:15

AT&T is too busy in bed with Apple. They don't care about Android like Verizon does. If you want the best Android experience and more Android devices, come on over to Verizon where open development and true multi-tasking is getting good :)

Wow - never thought I'd see the day where someone was complaining about VZW getting a sought-after phone first. Most of the time it was us crying about how Sprint and AT&T were getting all the "cool" phones while we were stuck with Treos and Crackberries.

16. Kiltlifter posted on 27 Feb 2010, 16:25

+1 eclectic! I used to always complain about that as well, as sprint got the VX6900/TouchCDMA/Vogue literally 9 months before VZW did (I know I waited for it). I am excited that VZW is getting a better variety of phones now, but they still have no plans for a variant of the HTC HD2. So I will get the Incredible or whatever, becuase I love HTC products, and I will wait until WP7s to get a new WinMo phone. Ahhhhh how times have changed.

This thing is a beast.

12. TBONEJF posted on 27 Feb 2010, 12:26

AT&T you guys are starting to piss me off so badly. WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO GET OUR VERSION OF NEXUS ONE. Keep falling behind like that I'm cutting off my contract with you PERMANENTLEY.
