I just emailed the HTC people to see if they could tell me a release date and here is what they told me. Probable the same they tell everyone, but to put us back on topic

I think the N1 is at least gonna be offered subsidized to solo plans like it is on T-Mobile, and if Google really wants to sell some, they should offer it on family plans too. I think they will (No proof, just a hunch). I definitely think they're gonna offer more than just the $529 no contract option.

Problem with that logic though is that it's not Google subsidizing the phone. It's Verizon since they get the money from the calling plan to pay for the subsidy. It is totally up to Verizon if they want to subsidize the phone or not and to what degree they will subsidize it unless Google wants to lose money hand over fist. Verizon doesn't even have to make it easy to get the Nexus One on their network if they don't want to.

I actually think Verizon won't subsidize the Nexus One and instead will push the Incredible instead. They can't really stop Google from selling a phone for their network but I think it will be more like the AT&T model. I doubt that Verizon will see the Nexus One as being worth their while.

The big difference is that Verizon was announced as a partner with Google since the initial N1 announcement, AT&T's just kinda popped up.

True but that doesn't really mean anything other than Verizon agreed to carry the phone earlier. It doesn't even mean they are a partner just a network that agreed to carry the phone.

I resized the image so that it wasn't so big. Text didn't scale well but it works.

does anyone remember how the calendar said "additional android handset"
maybe that means the 28th is the launch of another android handset for april, meaning there will be one sooner in april than the 28th...?

Personally, I think if there was another one coming out in April, it would have been in the calendar and the OP would have mentioned it/posted a pic. But the only notable things were the Reality and the Android launch. I think it means in addition to the ones they already have

or that Verizon doesn't have to physically prepare its stores for the launch og the N1 but acknowledged the fact its launching prior to the Incredible. The N1 is supposed to be sold online only thus vzw has little to prepare for in its launch. I'm guessing the Incredible is the "additional android headset."

hahahaaa I didnt have to look at the video to know that song!!
 
Does anyone know whether the Incredible will have a removable battery? I really hope it does, I hate the thought of throwing out a device because its battery can't hold a charge. Also, why does everyone think the Incredible is going to be priced higher that the Droid? I was hoping of spending no more that $200.

It does have a removable battery.

We think it will be priced higher because it is a better phone. It is as simple as that. I could go into detail, but that is the end result.

Yes, it has a removable battery-- it's not a fruit gadget! lol :D I expect the Incredible to come out $299 in store with $100 MIR, and $199 online, that's what Verizon has been doing with most of its smartphones. :cool:

EDIT: Why are you guys so fast???

Unless I'm mistaken, Apple is the only company so full of itself that they don't have a removable battery.
