I’ve been with Verizon a long time and am getting tired of not being able to buy a cool And global capable phone. They sell BlackBerrys that are world capable, I will be rather peeved if the N1 is GSM only.

I’m up for my new every 2 in the next month. I’m already sad that I can’t get a global Droid. While I’m happy with my current Berry I’d Really like to move on to the N1. I’ve been with Verizon for a very long time but I’m starting to think about moving on. Then again what are my options? AT&T?

I feel like Verizon’s counting on that fact that people hate AT&T rather than banking on their own service being better. Boo Verizon, stop POing all your loyal customers.

I have been a ‘satisfied’ verizonwireless.com customer for approx 10 yrs now. I am qualified for the new after 2 or whatever its called … wanting the Nexus 1… for Verizon to NOT offer it suggests they think a widespread buy of the smartphone will cripple their network with all the data and internet use that will follow… i.e. the AT&T problems encountered with the Iphone introduction… hmmmmm.

Two counter thoughts here… IF you (Verizon) cannot handle the anticipated traffic on your network, just be honest, and tell us so… you are driving away purchases of hardware and “plans” to inferior networks now… duhh folks are signing up for min 2 yr plans just to have the state of the art phones.
Other side of the coin… get “it” all right and sound, firmly believing you CAN, and more importantly WILL supply your customers with the excellent service they are and will continue to have… $70/month is a BIG HURT in today’s economy… falling into AT&T’s degradation of customer satisfaction truly will kill you !… but that is my thought as to why you are proceeding as you are.

Whatever… the little I use the phone for personal contacts, the computer aspects will come into play in the next 30-60days (my contract expires)… your call
Verizon ! (pun intended)

I talked to a verizon rep today and he said the phone would be on 4G and they were having issues with some things so it had been delayed and he said it was a rough estimate, but said it looked like it would be fall before it was released. I’m not really sure what to make of that b/c I can’t imagine it being delayed THAT long and he tried to sell me a Motorola Droid after that. Not sure if he was just trying to sell me a different phone then or what. I hope it comes out soon though. Anyone else heard anything?

A friend of mine is a Verizon store manager. He says the Nexus will be in stores for display only to help sell the phone, but that it must be purchased online from Google.

He says the announcement is soon, but that the Nexus One has been delayed until late April or early May. He says the Verizon version of the Nexus One will be black in color.

The HTC Incredible has been shown in the last few days to store employees in advance of release. It may be released before the Nexus One.

I asked my corp rep who visits my retail store. He said verizon was going to let google sell the phone like an authorized agent. No word about the software but they want to demonstrate a device to customers which will get them money by generating more data customers , and they won’t lose much since they won’t have to purchase and get the customer to sign a contract in order to subsidize a phone’s cost thus generating revenue.

makes sense to me

The Verizon N1 will be locked. Verizon does not sell unlocked devices. There are no android phones with cdma and gsm capabilities yet, but i would expect to see some in the near future. And Verizon does not put any software on the android devices except for visual voicemail. The software is all google.

maybe verizon will sell the nexus one in their store or online for upgrade and new wireless customers only and google will sell the unlocked version on their website for anyone to buy and put it on their plan whether it be sprint or verizon. that would be the best way. my new every two is coming up real soon and I just hope the have subsidized pricing for the verizon nexus one.

Online isn’t good enough. Obviously, the Nexus 1 would have sold more if it was available to see at the stores.

Does anyone think that the Verizon version might have different coloring? Perhaps a black nexus 1?

Couldn’t it be that Verizon will have phones in their store so people can come in and play with them, BUT that you would have to purchase them online through Google?

That way, the sales reps could even walk people through the online purchase in-store.
