[...] isn’t the first we’ve heard of this phone – it was spotted in Verizon’s internal inventory system way back on September 1st, gained FCC and Wi-Fi approval September 28th, and then we talked about [...]

Hmmm… I almost hope its not Google branded… isnt that the reason HTC can’t put sense on current Google branded android phones?

At least thats what they said, apparently non branded magic’s may get sense at some point, but HTC clearly stated this would not be the case with any Google branded phone.

I’ve been waiting patiently for a very long time for a high quality phone to show up on Verizon. I’m hoping this manages to come through. I’m very interested to see if it actually becomes another Google Experience phone, although I’m definitely not holding my breath.

I say this with maximum optimism, knowing full well Verizon has a tendency to screw up at every corner.

Great read, thanks!

I wonder if this is going to be a good phone. I dont need sense UI, but i would love a keyboard. Kinda like a hero with a keyboard. Thats my wishlist. Please HTC?

I remember when T-Mobile had Android phones. I guess I can pick between the G1 or the G1 revision B. :-\

@quentyn: Sadly, i feel we will be waiting for a loooong time to get a snapdragon android, with a qwerty. Shame

Donut is quite nice. I’ve been playing around with it in the form of some core code thanks to Cyanogen, and it really focuses on making Android more resource efficient. I’ve never used a faster Android build and it makes my G1 feel like a newborn with how snappy it is. I would wait though indeed. My next android phone WILL have a qwerty + 1ghz snapdragon, anything else isn’t an option.

Desire also sounds like a chickphone which means that it will have a little more sex-appeal than the current geekphones.

I’m just really excited for Android’s future, it looks like all carriers will be coming around to it before year’s end. I know sprint wasn’t keen to carrying just any old phone on their product line though, they always try to get the best fit for their army of phones. Anywho, can’t wait to see what this beast might look like. And Verizon would be fools to gimp this phone. Plum fools.
