No Verizon subsidy for the Nexus?!

just read this on engadget

i'd be pissed if the verizon n1 turns out to be the incredible. i personally think the incredible looks distasteful, at least from what i have seen so far. and underclocked?! thats so verizon...

i am becoming very impatient for more facts about this topic...lets all hope they are seperate phones (crosses fingers)

EDIT: also noticed on that screen posted that it lists a 5mp camera...the incredible is rumored to have an 8mp...

off topic sorta, can sense ui be turned off on android like in winmo?

Sense can be disabled in Android, but HTC has replaced the vanilla android apps with their own. So messaging would be the HTC messaging program. Not android. So on and so forth.

Since the phone is made by HTC, it will be rooted in no time, and you will have your 1 ghz processor. I wonder if it really was verizon who required the processor to be underclocked, or if google didn't want anything to rival the G1, especially since Verizon will be selling the G1 later this year.

well i guess that engadget post got updated and here is a pic of the new spec list...

so it seems as though they WILL be two different phones...thanks gad

and thanks tokuzumi for the info. i liked what htc did with sense on winmo, but i kinda like android the way it is. home++ helps too

I am excited about both of these phones... I hope the 8MP camera stays. Doubtful they'll be out at the same time. I've been using the Eris for a while and Android is very, very nice.
