Talk about confusion, or maybe strange PR emails. In my quest of finding out whether or not the Nexus One by Google and HTC will ever head to Verizon; with that “coming soon” option on the Google Phone Store sitting there forever, what I found might have some doubts of whether or not a PR contact that I have at Verizon Wireless is speaking the direct truth from their superiors, but here’s what came up in the reply field:
“Thank you for your question. Google’s Nexus One phone will not be carried by Verizon Wireless. You will have to contact Google directly for any information. It would be inappropriate for me to answer questions on a phone that Verizon Wireless won’t sell.”
This could simply mean that Verizon just won’t sell the Nexus One in its retail stores, and that Google, as previously rumored, would take care of that. But that extra line, “Google’s Nexus One phone will not be carried by Verizon Wireless,” is a little strange to me, and probably wrong (hopefully?). While I try to get more info on this, I’ll leave this to the Internets to discuss. And no troll flaming guys.
UPDATE: You could definitely say that VZW will support the Nexus One, but won’t sell it, and Google will. So that’s that, I guess (?). Now onto the usual programming…
Just as a case in point, the headline is nearly exactly what HTC said. Moving on to the story, Crave UK loved their Nexus One, until one day it appeared with the purple screen seen above. According to Crave, the Nexus One was innocently charging on a desk. They also swore that they didn’t kill their wonderful Nexus One, and couldn’t understand how it ended up in a purple coating. So Google encouraged them to contact HTC; problem is HTC was stumped. But then they pressed on and got this response from Mr. Clever HTC Support Guy:
