Verizon Nexus One by end of the month & sold in-store?

[Foo (AZ)]

She said it should be out by the end of March, but, again, it's a cust service rep and as always, take it with a grain of salt.

My wife moved from Verizon to AT&T because she wanted to get the iPhone. When she called from the store to get her account info so she could port her number over the customer service rep was trying to get her to reconsider. I understand that and all, but don't tell me Verizon has comparable phones with the iPhone when you obviously don't. This was a month before they got their first Android set. I think they'll tell you whatever it takes to keep you a customer.

But I hope it's true!

Just got back from a Verizon store were a rep told me the Nexus One may be out by the end of the month and be sold in-store. What do you guys think? BS?

end of month possibly...
sold in stores?? perhaps not. tmo would probably had it in their stores by now. unless google is just hatin. lmao

Considering most of the world uses GSM and the same can't be said about CDMA, Google probably wouldn't mind locking it to Verizon unless the Nexus One for Verizon is a World Phone.

I somehow wounldn't be surprised if T-Mobile US wouldn't trying to get it... since the Desire is essentially a reskinned Nexus, with Sense, but minus Noise Cancellation, it would be a no-brainer to have AWS 1700MHz on it (as it's 99.9% the guts of the Nexus)... Certainly less effort for HTC to make a T-Mobile US version, than it would be to do a CDMA version for Verizon or Sprint... All it takes is an agreement between T-Mo and HTC, which they already have the best HTC relationship of all the US carriers, with the Dash, Wing, G1 and MyTouch3G.... oh, and HD2 coming...

I feel like I said something like that already.... maybe I used too many big boy words.

I believe the Celtics just beat the Lakers last night... and guess what, Ray Allen is back to his superstar self!!!

And I'm eagerly waiting for at least a solid release date for the Nexus One for Verizon. I check the Google website every day and I have already subscribed for the notification e-mail. I just bought the Droid cause I broke my LG Dare.

What exactly do you mean by branded and unbranded? I'm still eagerly waiting for some sort of release date for the Nexus One and for some more information such as a discount if eligible for upgrade or whether or not it will work with family plans.

I hope they increase the RAM if this is true. There should be no reason to have less RAM than the Nexus One and call it the Nexus One.

The N1 for Verizon will be out at the end of March and hearing it from a solid connect who has always been right in his area of expertise. That being said, he doesn't work for Verizon so I can only hope and pray it comes out in stores, though I assume it won't. My real hope is that we can get full VZ support for the phone. That is my biggest fear with the N1.

Now if I only had a good VZ or HTC connect so I could find out when the Incredible was coming so it could make my decision of which phone easier.

unbraded means that it doesnt say verizon on it at all and therefore noone can tell the difference between the tmo and verizon versions...... it also means that its not being sold by verizon.. the plan is.

of course verizone doesnt like that noone would who wouldnt want to market a phone on their own.... which is were josh's point comes into play about the incredible...........

Verizon will only sell devices it can service or swap out themselves.. This is one of the reasons Verizon turned down the Iphone.

I remember that discussion and I don't think they said that it would be called, or referred to as, the Nexus One. I'm not sure if that's what you were saying.
