I honestly don't think the idea of them coming out at nearly the same time is that far fetched in this case. Reason being, The Nexus One is a special case due to Google being the only one selling it. I would agree with them not coming out at the same time if it was gonne be two very similar android smart phones IN STORES, but this will only be one in stores and one online completely separate of Verizon. Unless Google and Verizon completely rewrote the agreement, and Verizon will carry the N1 in stores (nice thought but totally unlikely), they could come out around the same time.
I was trying to see if the model number given by that FCC filing matched anything on the watermark of the phone in the leaked pics, but it doesn't appear to. I don't think that means anything, because the watermark may not even reflect the model number they use with the FCC, but just something I was looking at.
My choice between these will be largely in the specs arena. If the Incredible final specs end up being 256 RAM, I'll probably buy the N1. I'm already not a huge fan of it, because I'm in the boat of people who strongly dislike the red backing and I DEFINITELY don't like how the more I look at the pics, the more I realize it's shaped and looks very much like the Iphone from the front. I'm also in agreement with most others on the fact that of the 3 (Nexus, Bravo, Incredible), I like the Bravo looks the most. Nexus is also very close though, because I've always thought it was sexy looking, now I just wish it had an optical pad like these new players do.
I'm very much about making sure I like the look of a phone aside from the specs, but I'd say the specs take priority slightly. That being said, if this thing released with damn near identical specs to the N1, I'll be heavily considering it due to the shitty support from Google on the N1. Always more comfortable having a store to go to, and then at least I can go look at the thing before I buy it. I still think Google really ****ed up in that regard, because I can't tell you how many phones I THOUGHT looked awesome in pictures, and then when I went into the store and got to play with them and actually see them from all angles, I didn't like them at all. Not being able to see something in person and hold it before buying it is a dangerous proposition, very dissapointing that Google doesn't really care about that in the case of the N1.

first post here. I've been around since nov. waitin on this phone or some variant for vzw. The vzw guys around here in SC say they have a weeks lead time from when they hear about it and when it hits stores. Im gonna keep trying to work on them.
) and I really liked the extra "polish" it had. While I'm a minimalistic kind of guy, I really appreciated the refined look of Sense.
