Williamsport, PA | Verizon N1 I plan to get this phone the day it launches on Verizon's network. I seriously look forward to the loud conversation I am going to have with AT&T when I finally cancel their worthless POS "service".
The N1 sales were sluggish, but I think that is going to change once there is a CDMA version. T-Mobile's 3G network is extremely tiny compared to Verizon's, and Google will have had a few months to fix many of the bugs with the device.

When is it going to get into your head that Google/Apple (companies where cell phones are only one line of business) only want to make devices for the larger GSM population? |

I don't think the sales are sluggish due to the network, I think it's because of lack of advertising. A Superbowl ad would have been perfect to get the word out.

I am a "fanboi" because I want a phone that actually WORKS? AT&T's service is horrendous where I live.
Verizon is getting a CDMA Nexus One this Spring. Also, Apple only went with AT&T because they couldn't work out a deal with Verizon. You really don't know what you're saying, do you?

I still think it's a tough sell on T-Mobile. If Verizon steps up their advertising when the N1 hits their network, it will be very good for Android. I don't see anyone else seriously challenging Apple other than Google.

I don't see anyone else seriously challenging Apple other than Google. Might be a bit tougher, but I have a few friends that absolutely love T-Mobile and their 3G that were clueless that the N1 was around.

Bingo. Yeah, and why no ad for Super Bowl? Didn't they do a pretty good commercial for the Droid? |

Except for that whole Google Android VZW Droid...
And Google Android HTC Hero
And Google Android Droid Eris
And Google Android Samsung Moment.
And then there's this whole page which LISTS VZW as being a future NexusOne carrier..
»www.google.com/phone/choose?loca···_US&s7e=
but yeah, other than those 4 CDMA Android phones, and the Google web page explicitly listing Verizon as a future NexusOne carrier - you're absolutely right. Google will never support CDMA phones.

Even looking at the T-Mobile website there is no reference to the Nexus. |
