I'm not doubting you on that boss, as you seem like the guy that is the one of the experts on here and I'm just throwing things out there but, correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't HTC make the Nexus one for google?

Yes; However, HTC only makes the phone. That's it... THAT IS IT. Most of the guides that did hands-on talked about how the Nexus was its competitor and the issues and HTC pretty much took everything wrong with the Nexus and fixed it with the Desire. i.e. physical buttons, optical trackpad

word, so being as the desire is the N1 competitor I'm assuming that more than likely Verizon will not get the N1...which is epic fail
 
The only way I would see Verizon getting a N1 like device is it the N1 will only be available from Google when it is released supporting Verizons network. It would not make sense for Verizon to offer two nearly identical devices. With that said the odds of all three are simple... Not going to happen.
 
It has occurred to me that with all this talk and hype regarding the Desire and the N1 that the Incredible has suddenly become a back-burner dark horse. Just because there have been a few photos of it floated around with an odd-colored back plate doesn't necessarily mean that Big Red won't have it spruced up by its release date. I mean, the Desire came out of NOWHERE and blew all the other phones out of the water - literally overnight. Who's to say that the final version of the Incredible won't be stellar as well? HTC and Verizon still have time, and I'm sure that group of collaborators has taken notice of everyone falling all over themselves regarding the looks and specs of the Desire. I mean, you don't call your product "The Incredible" and then don't have the balls to back it up, right?

Currently, the Desire is a pipe dream for the States, and the N1 won't have the support that I'd like to have. I have concluded that the Incredible is the phone that I will be anticipating the most.

Verizon IS getting A Nexus One, Nexus One Phone - Web meets phone.. No guarantee that it will look identical to the current N1, but the big key to this whole discussion is the N1 will not have HTC Sense. HTC does make the hardware for the N1 but google is pushing the N1 with stock android. That's where the Verizon sold Incredible comes in. Hopefully similar spec hardware to the N1/Desire/Bravo but Sense equipped.



Edit: A N1 will be sold to function on Verizon's network. Verizon will not be selling it in stores or tech support.
 
Ruben,

Historically CDMA devices are a bit thicker, I have read the reason before but it escapes me at the moment. I agree no major differences though.

I couldn't agree more...I haven't been in the mood/mind set to post comments, but I have been reading most of the posts in the past 5 days...I have to say there has been a good amount of Incredible bashing which is totally unwarranted because all the specs that have been released are just speculation. Like Montana said, no one really knows for sure what Verizon and HTC have up their sleeves in terms of the phones hardware and styling...the desire came out of nowhere and shocked us all, and the incredible could do the same over here in the states. And I've been studying the video and pics over the past few days, and I came to the conclusion that the sleek all black front with black optical track pad and capacitive touch buttons is drop dead sexy. IDK how someone could say its not...yea it does look iphone ish, but who cares...almost EVER full front touch screen phone looks iphone ish lol.
 
^ This is the Nexus one sold by Google. They wouldn't change anything. Can you imagine the customer loyalty -- it would go down the drain. You can't just give us a better version.

I also think the N1 is the best bet to be released in the near future. The others are a quarter away.

Sounding more and more likely. But I'm still keeping my fingers crossed to see an Incredible late March.


But it's a good thing I've learned to survive day to day with them crossed...;)

I really hope so, and being as they want to burn AT&T, I just do not think that any design team would make that a final design as well, maybe their holding out more to May/June to compete with an iPhone announcement.

If the Incredible is the best bet we Verizon customers have, safe to say I'll be anticipating the new LTE network and the global compatibility it may offer. Time to go battery hunting for my razr.

Yes, I know it's the Google phone. I just thought that when it goes to VZW, they might differentiate it a bit for them. Just sayin'.

I keep looking at the images of the Incredible and then images of the Desire. The dual flashes on the back of the Incredible, the larger lens, the meatier back... I wouldn't be surprised if the Incredible ends up being the more feature rich of the two.

As for looks, oh well. I like the idea of having a monstorous looking phone as long as it kicks major ass to anything else around.

+1 That's exactly what I've been thinking. I just refuse to believe that the Incredible is as bland as everyone assumes it might be. I think Verizon has some tricks up their sleeves. That's just my opinion though. But you're right, the key words are "feature rich." Great point

+1 You Montana boys sure do have a good head on your shoulders. Exactly what I've been thinking lately. I haven't been posting near as much as I was in the past, because I'm just kinda sitting back and waiting for the Incredible. It's going to be a fantastic phone and we are CERTAIN that it is coming to Verizon, because of the Verizon boot screen in the video. So...all of this talk about the desire is great and fun and interesting, but sorry to say so guys, I'm going to have to say that my current opinion is that the Incredible is going to beat the Desire in the specs department. The RAM is just speculation and hearsay, and what we've seen so far may be kinda tacky looking to some people, but look how much the Bravo/Desire changed from the first pictures we saw of it a few weeks ago to now. It changed IMMENSELY! If that can happen to the Bravo, now the Desire, think of what all can happen to the Incredible in a month's time or more. I'm full throttle about the Incredible. The rest of these phones are just an appetizer until the badass main course is brought out. (OK, that was kinda ***. haha)

Although most of us prefer the Desire visually, following this thinking, if Verizon really is holding out on specs and this thing is truly INCREDIBLE...doesn't the minimal face and single pane of glass look of the Incredible lend itself to iPhone comparisons and potentially a generally accepted "iPhone killer"... I know, I know, I hate that phrase :mad: but looking at the big picture, ya know, the other 98% of phone buyers ;) that is still the benchmark for a smart/media phone.
