Nexus One for Verizon Wireless Spring 2010

i agree, sense is very nice, i like it very much, but the UI on the nexus (i guess vanilla android 2.1?) is quite nice.

Just announced: VZW CDMA version of the phone will be LOCKED. No unlocked version for VZW.

True, who knows though...maybe they'll offer some sort of OTA Sense UI update...

Sanjay said that DROID will get N1 software and the competition begins between Moto and HTC for building the best Android phone! Yay! I hope the 2.1 release is in the next couple of days as Rubin said. I want it on the DROID!

Competition is always good for end consumer... at the end you can choose the product that suits you best... I'm eligible for an upgrade in March (VZW), but will hold the Moto Droid purchase to see how the N1 performs really...

actually it looks identical to the eris....so why is verizon adding another version of a phone they just released...it has an added flash is the biggest difference i see.

Much larger, higher res screen (AMOLED at that), faster processor, higher spec overall. It's kind of like the next generation of the Hero/Eris class.

not at the price of 500 bucks, no thanks.. and my 30 day windows going to be up by then lol.. Spring 2010? So.. What's that, excatly? I'll just be glad when the Eris gets 2. whatever upgrade so we can get all the sweet stuff.. But will it take longer for us to get it because of Sense?

That's fine by me...VZW still has the best coverage around for me...I have no problem staying on the network.

 

[Caddyman]

well of course, it is a "superphone" loler

with sense, i highly doubt it will get it, this is googs first phone, although we associate any htc phone with sense, goog has this thing wrapped up.

If you have a phone to move back to for a hold over period it looks like this will outclass the Eris...I like HTC devices, but its true, the eris has old hardware...

It's unfortunate all of us who bought the droid around the holidays got no word of the N1 coming to Verizon this quick, if at all. I am in the process of finding a buyer for my Droid so I can update to the N1 soon.

From watching the press conference, it seems that the hold up is merely incorporating verizon's checkout/billing/member services into the google phone web store. So I'd expect it sooner rather then later.

 

[mcbtrain929]

i wonder if the phone will look exactly the same, or if it will get a mini makeover from VZW. i don't like the gray on the N1, but if they make it all black (which I prefer), it'll look exactly like the Eris.

 

[mcbtrain929]

and more specific word on when "spring 2010" is?

 

[jblazea50]

they need to release one that will support 3G band for AT&T, Rogers, and Telus soon because I really want this phone and not willing to settle for EDGE only for that much money

 

[Nelson419]

Like I said, according to the press conference its merely a stall in terms of implementing verizons membership services into their site. So I cant see it taking that long. I bet before March, but thats just my guess.

 

[LTZguy]

The screen is bigger, android 2.1, LED Flash for the camera...many differences...no hardware buttons.

The eris is getting 2.1, it has a flash yes..and i like that.

 

[dilligaf79]

Think this makes up my mind on my Eris. Going to return it, go back to my Blackberry and then get N1 when it comes out

Based on the press conference, it looks like VZW coverage will look like an unlocked phone at the full $530 and buying a plan separately, but no subsidy for the phone.

Except the website says "The Nexus One Phone with Verizon Wireless service.". If the phone is coming with Verizon service it wont be sold as an unlocked phone. It would also be hard to make the argument the N1 is $330 better then the Droid.
Though I was hoping for a full Sense HTC phone as the N1 has Sense lite. They better not try to bust out the same draconian plan limitations like they did for Tmobile.

Its kinda odd they're going biggest and smallest national carriers. Unless its Tmobile loyalty and Verizon partnership.

Sorry, the Nexus One phone is not available in your country.

Noooooooooo

It's sucksss

 

[droid92]

yes!
i just read over at engadget.com that verzion wireless is getting the nexus one.
i love my droid that i got for xmas but i need a sleeker sexier and faster phone. and the nexus is rite up my alley.
i don't need the hardware keyboard cuz i don't play games on it and i barely use it to text.


omg i can't wait til the nexus comes to big red.
looks like at&t and the iphone's days are over.

I'm not sure I like the google store integration. My contract isn't up for 18 months. My daughters line is due for an upgrade in April. Going through the Google store I am SOL as far as being able to finagle the account to use her upgrade on my line. Something I have commonly done in the past, though having a teenage daughter she is the one who always ends up using my upgrade From a customer service aspect the online store is going to stink. The mom and pop local non verizon owned store will always bend over backward to make a sale happen. This hurts them, which is too bad.

So Verizon isn't going to get the same $179 deal as T-Mobile? Or anything even close? Anyone know why this is?

You're getting this from where? Though I hope they don't get the same deal. I would like to get one (barring a full Sense HTC phone coming) on my family plan at subsidized pricing.

Is that correct?

No. Look at the site.

It specifically says with Verizon service.
