Google?s Nexus One to Work on Verizon, Too | John Paczkowski | Digital Daily | AllThingsD

Well, evidently Verizon?s had a change of heart. Because the company is adding the Nexus One to its product line-up after all. And it will be peddling the device along with T-Mobile and Vodafone.

For the time being, only T-Mobile will support the phone, but Google executive Mario Queiroz just announced that Verizon Wireless and its corporate sister Vodafone will be supporting the phone in ?spring 2010″.

They dodged the question about whether it would be unlocked on Verizon's network (ie you can take your TMobile nexus one to AT&T, just with EDGE data speeds), but I'm pretty excited that this is coming.

I dont' really see much a difference (besides the processor and Android 2.1) between VZ's Droid and Nexus One. In fact, the Droid is probably better since it has a physical keyboard. The N1 is just slightly better innards with a HTC Hero/Eris body.

The first Google Nexus One review shows up ? Unwired View)

It has other pros and cons, but regarding your subtopic:

The thing I like about this is it's presence on various carriers, other than rival Apple's home station. They're not limiting themselves to one and risking the problems found on AT&T's network.

Hopefully this will encourage more cross-platform phones.

500x_subsidized_cost.jpg

You've probably heard about Google's Nexus One launch today, with a cost of $180 with a two-year T-Mobile contract and?wait, $530 without? Actually, that math might make sense, as blogger Ben Ferguson shows in his cost breakdown. He's considering buying a data-only plan from T-Mobile and relying primarily on SkypeOut purchases, with a backup of free Gizmo5 calls through Google Voice, although new Gizmo5 sign-ups are currently suspended. That means little to no mobile calling (unless you used the free Guava app). Then again, Ben sees some significant savings by the end of what would be a two-year contract, and considers himself a "near-total" dependent on Google services. Could you imagine making the data-only jump?

Anyone have any more about information about this skype in/out service? How's t-mobiles 3g service?

Dear Adobe,

You did it with the Droid, now you're doing it with the Nexus 1, and I wanted to go ahead and just ask that you finally release flash 10.1 for the android os instead of these repeated, unfair, teases that you have given us.

Thank you

I think this is going to be my next phone. I don't really want to be locked in to a 2-year contract if I got an iphone. I have at&t now, but I don't really need the data plan(wifi in most areas that I need it). I'm going to wait a couple of months and see what everyone thinks about it.

VZ keeps sending me emails telling me I can upgrade before my contract runs out if I get a smartphone with the required data plan. If they have the same deal when the N1 comes out it will be very tempting. I've held out on getting any kind of data phone because it would double my monthly bill, but my current phone is going to shit and there seem to be fewer non-smartphones coming out. Seems like everybody will be on one eventually. It's probably like HDTV; once you have it you'll wonder how you got by without it. The only debate will be whether to wait for VZ's version of the iPhone.
