Any way to make it a little clearer? I believe Chinese characters are universal throughout China/Taiwan/Hong Kong/etc., and I can try to ask my mom what it says since Im Chinese (Unfortunately, Im as Americanized as can be, so I have no clue what it says)
You realise of course it probably translate to "Only a stupid westerner would believe this video" right?

Interesting you mention that, I was at the VZW store yesterday dealing with another matter and inquired about "any new phones from HTC". One of the people behind the counter (who seemed to be in charge back there) mentioned that they knew N1 was coming soon but that was all. And then she said that they would have them in the store. When I questioned her with the "I thought you could only buy through Google like the T-Mobile model" She laughed and said, "We're *not* T-Mobile."
Take it for what it's worth - she probably doesn't know much more than we do here but a girl can hope, right?
Thats the same kinda thing going around AT&T for their Nexus One entry. I know the major driving force for Tmobile to get involved the way they did with the N1 was to drive up their subscriber base at a all risk/all reward approach for Google. Verizon doesn't need a massive subscriber influx and so perhaps wants a piece of the action. But we shall see.

I have heard this enough times now that I am starting to believe it. A Nexus One with carrier support would be phenomenal. That pretty much would put the proverbial nail in the coffin for the Incredible (for me).
It would also give credence to the same day launch idea, Droid+Droid Eris redux.

Wow, If both were released, I wouldn't know what to choose. Will the CDMA Nexus One's specs be the same as the TMobile Nexus One's specs?
I would imagine the only change would be for the better. Perhaps Verizon gets the Nexus One Plus. The only real difference is the radio and a chip that would technically be capable of also working on GSM networks. Though that seems not to be an active ability for the Verizon N1.

So now it's fine to discuss a google phone. You are a real piece of work.

Note to everyone: Verizon staff don't know nearly as much as we do, and will guess to make things look better. In other words, they aren't super nerds and they are bias.
When I took my mom into VZW to look at phones they immediately spotted her iPhone and said that they should show her some Droids and that the iPhone was last decades news.

Actually there were correct. There's been nothing new to the Iphone since it launched, which was in the past decade. Didn't the Droid take some wins over the Iphone this year? You can very much say Android is this decades new right now and be right.

Dude, sorry....That was my fault! Right now. in my mind, these two phone are hard to separate. I wish I could look at the real specs for each side by side. Or at least if they changed the Incredible's RAM and back red plate.

I totally agree! Android is ages ahead of the iPhone.

Mykpfsu - Thanks for not taking the bait ...
Its interesting that the N1 might be supported in store -
Would VZW even need to introduce the Incredible @ the same time?

Also remember that the picture resolution we saw for the ADR6300 was greater than 5MP so if for some reason you want more than 5MP for you phone, you may want to go Incredible over Nexus One. Hopefully they will both come out at the same time, and sites like phandroid, engadget, and phonearena can do a Incredible vs. N1 review so we can find which device does what better.
Right now, I'd say I'd take the N1 over the Incredible because of:
1. Looks, the N1 is a sexy device, Incredible is a little blocky for my taste.
2. I'd guess that the N1 will get updates almost immediately since it's google's phone, and it's google's OS. Quick updates are more important to me than a few eye candy details.
3. I don't really want the extra overhead of Sense over stock Android to put any unnecessary toll on the processor.
4. I don't think picture resolution over 5MP is really needed.
Of course this is based on VZW offering the N1 in stores alongside the Incredible. If it's sold only through Google, I'd for sure take Incredible over N1.

Well it could be that the Droid and Eris were launched the same day because it was Verizon's big jump into Android. Everyone says that the N1 will be introduced at CTIA. But why? Its not a new phone and the idea of Verizon getting it is not new. Its always simply been a waiting game. Wouldn't it make more sense to introduce the Incredible as that is the new phone and might be the first 2.1 Sense device to the market? That makes more of a splash then go "Oh hey, we finally got that shipment of Nexus Ones in". So for CTIA I'll go either Incredible or both but not the N1 solo.

Yea, the phone being sold over by google only is a real hassle. You don't get to try the phone out or anything and get a real good feel for it, though i hear the Nexus One feels great.
The Incredible has things that the Nexus One might not though. Like the rumored DivX and Xvid support and like HD movies and stuff. From rumors, the HTC Incredible is supposed to be an all around better multimedia player than all the other Android phones out there. Improving upon a lot of things like the stock music player etc...If the Incredible really does come with things like DivX and stuff, count me in. All the better.
But if i hear that the phone will be releasing with 256mb of ram like some of the test devices have, im going with the Nexus One no matter what. Unless it's some kind of super ram that makes it perform exceptionally well, the same as 512mb ram or even better hehehe

Hmmm, that's an interesting point about the Incredible already being in VZW's inventory. Could mean that it will be released earlier or could mean that the N1 won't be sold through VZW stores since it hasn't shown up in the inventory list. Or...could mean that it's in the inventory and it hasn't been leaked yet

Okay so i was just wondering about CTIA and last springs crop of new phones. I didnt find anything on Verizon announceing any new phones at last years spring CTIA. I was also looking up speakers for this years CTIA and I dont see anything from Verizon or HTC. What are the chances you think that we may not hear anything again this year?
