Look at this thread for talking about the phone-->Nexus phone Reports say that the phone will be on Verizon in Spring

Spring would imply sometime by June-ish :smileyhappy:

You might want to keep an eye on some of the tech blogs like Engadget, Phandroid etc. One of the first signs that it's coming over the horizon will be when the phone passes FCC certification.

I think "rumors" and "concrete release date" are phrases that don't belong in the same sentence. Verizon has been more forthcoming with planned release dates in the last year or so. I suspect that when a release is closer, you'll be able to sign up on their website for announcements.

Best of luck.

I don't see any announcements about the Nexus on Verizon's site directly. There are other phone companies that are announcing the Nexus though. I know on the T-mobile forums there is a special forum for just the nexus phone now.

Well, of course you didn't! No company is going to tell you not to buy, to wait to see if there's something you might like better later. You might decide to take your business elsewhere.

Google "The Osborne Effect" to see how well that works for companies.

It's also very safe to assume with technology that, no matter what you buy, when you buy it or how long you wait, there will always be something better, faster and cheaper announced shortly thereafter.

Based on past history, when (if) VZW announces they will be selling the Nexus One, they'll probably put something up on their website.

Best of luck.

It's become a bit of a cliche on these message boards that everyone waiting is waiting for "the next best thing". I'd almost think it was spun off by the Verizon marketing department. Just get a phone NOW, people say. It's like someone WANTS you to go buy the Droid. Hmmmm, Motorola, is that you? LOL

Look, I don't care about the next best thing. I do care about meeting my needs. From day one, I've wanted something with a larger display than the Eris and NO physical keyboard. Just don't want it. I'm also put off by the non-standard resolution of the Droid and the fact that the display width is narrower than traditional aspect ratio displays on cell phones. I mean, it's better technology that they're packing more lines of resolution (480) in a shorter display height (we're talking landscape here) than, say, the iphone (320). But really, that doesn't give you more room to type on a virtual keyboard. And the design cues aren't for me. I love the Eris form and feel. The hardware specs just suck. I'd probably pick up the Nexus One now if it was available. The support issues are quite troubling. Hopefully by the time Verizon is ready, they will have ironed some things out. I guess there's the even more vaguely rumored HTC Incredible somewhere out there on the horizon. Maybe something carrier supported similar to the Nexus One is around the corner. Who knows. The holiday return period ends Wed.

Google just released an update that fixed some of the problems the initial nexus one had. (software and hardware issues): http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-google-phone-news/1788-nexus-one-receives-pinch-zoom.html

I'm hoping they are just waiting to make sure the product is stable before releasing it on a huge network :smileyhappy:

You can go to PhoneArena to see upcoming phones on all the networks. For example, from the page page click Verizon on the left side menu, and then at the top click the "Upcoming" tab. For phones that are closer to their release date there will be an expected release date. This date may be a specific day, or sometimes just a general time (i.e.. Spring 2010) but all in all this is VERY helpful for various situations.

Hope this is helpful. Once again, go to www.phonearena.com

The Nexus One might be one step closer to reality on Verizon.

It looks like the phone might have passed the FCC certification

One can only hope....

I have to get a new phone at the end of March and the N1 ( or Incredible ) on Verizon is my first choice....
