Who's on board????

[dchase]

Wow,

This board's gone quiet.  With all the news of the Bravo/Passion I would have thought this place would be bumping.  Way I look at it, this is the Omnia 2 with the great AMOLED screen and a beefier processor and memory, working off Android so the WINMO won't bog this phone down.  Hopefully it gets better should Google announce that ANDROID will allow apps to be put on the SD card.  As far as I see, that one change to ANDROID could take most of the wind out of WINMO's sails.

Anyone know if this one will be able to be upgraded to 4G with its high end hardware?  I am weary to dump any money into a contract which gives me yesterdays technology for 2 years.  If it does not get the faster data transfer rate that 4G offers, that would be ashamed.  This might affect if I use my NE2 or just get a 1YR and cough up the $100.

I really hope this is wrong. http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/htc-nexus-one-blessed-by-the-fcc-with-t-mobile-and-att-huspa/ Why does Verzion pass up on the best technology? The Passion or now Nexus One going to T-Mobile

[patrick_bateman]

Agree completely, NotAgain...

Just posted over on the smartphone side of the forum about this.  The hope for the HD2/Passion/GPhone or whatever kept me from buying a Droid, but now it looks like the HD2 is going to the competition.  Really weird that Verizon keeps passing on these truly awesome phones.

I could be mistaken but the Nexus One does look like the original pics that were thought to be the passion, but the HTC bravo which holds similar specs is actually a different looking device.  Maybe Verizon is getting a decent phone.  I just hope we don't get any more Moto Droid like devices.  The thing is trash.  Get me something Amolled on android with memory and a nice processesor and please no keyboard.

Here's a link to pics and video of the unboxing of what we all thought was going to be our beloved HTC Passion...now officially (according to the box it comes in now that we finally get to see here) the Google Nexus One.....

Oh if only Verizon could get something this awesome and sexy! ha ha

[NotAgainVZ]

What are the chances Verizon will debut a new Android phone at CES say like the Passion, Bravo or hey why not a Nexus One. Or will it just be the Palm Pixi that no one wants

[alguerin]

I don't recall Verizon using CES to announce new phones in the past. Maybe Verizon will make a splash this year and announce the "Incredible" (new name for the Passion?) but I doubt it. I can only hope because I'd like to try a HTC high-end touch screen  phone with Android 2.1 to replace my Storm1. I'm getting real tired of RIM being unable to release a decent OS for the Storm1.

I was at Verizon last night and the person who helped me said that A NEW HTC PHONE IS COMING OUT LATE JANUARY!! I WONDER WHAT THAT WILL BE.

The Incredible...HTC with Snapdragon processor (not running at full capacity).

BRAVO is not necessarily the NEXUS one.  It does not even look like the nexus one.  Check the buttons on the bottom of the pic in the HTC sheet vs the nexus one pix.

omg, sorry once again but the site "www.htcpassion.com" was a fake.... it was created by the owner of phandroid heres the scoop http://androidandme.com/2009/12/phones/no-htc-passion-for-verizon-this-christmas/  its going to t-mobile

[blackdognorth]

BUMP

Any news on this actually hitting V?

I'm waffling between Droid Eris and TP2.  This would put thie decision aside.

As a side note, what the heck is so great about T-Mob?  Why does their mom and pop operation premier all the good stuff?!?
