HTC/Google - Nexus One Question:

Mochi

I apologize in advance if this has already been asked. I didn't see it, and I'm very curious if anyone has information on this.

I have been waiting for the Nexus One (I know, I know...a lot of us have) to hit Verizon. I read somewhere (no confirmed information from Verizon or Google themselves) that the devices were scheduled to be shipped. However, Apple has filed suit against HTC for 20 aledged patent infringements. In the suit they asked that all imports of HTC phones be halted. According to Ozcarguide a temporary ban of imports to the U.S. has been approved, however; this doesn't stop the selling of phones which are already here.

Since Google partnered with HTC to manufacture the Nexus One, does anyone know if this will...

1. Effect the import of the Nexus One and

2. If it will, has anyone found confirmation that the Nexus One has been shipped prior to the ban?

The above link doesn't call out Nexus One specifically. It's being marketed as the first Google phone, but HTC partnered with them to manufacture it. So I am wondering if anyone has any information I might have missed?

I will wait for the Nexus One if it is defintely coming this spring. But if it isn't, I so desperately need a new phone and will need to make a decision on the HTC Eris or Moto Droid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I'm feeling the pressure to break down and buy a new phone, but I know I will really regret it if N1 comes out 45 days after I buy it.
