An interesting article over at feelandroid.com gives us something to think about in relation to the Nexus One and possible threat to Verizon.

We now all know that the Google Nexus One will not debut directly with Verizon and so therefore will not be available through the largest US carrier.

The question being asked though is will the Nexus One pose a threat to Verizon if it is successful, bearing in mind that is pretty much what the model is all about.

It is about liberating customers from the 2 year standard carrier contracts and give the option to pay upfront and be able to walk away at any point, so far Nokia have failed with the unsubsidised model and we are all used to paying a little up front for Smartphones and that is what Google is attempting to change.

Google's first self-branded smartphone will soon be available on each of the four major cellular networks in the U.S.

Sprint just officially announced the impending arrival of Google Nexus One, though it neglected to reveal pricing or a release date. Details will likely become somewhat clearer at next week's CTIA conference.

Google's attempt to sell the Nexus One directly to consumers has been a bust so far. With versions covering all four carriers however, the sleek smartphone has a much better chance of being noticed. Even still, a bit of advertising certainly wouldn't hurt.

The Google Nexus One features a 3.7-inch touchscreen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Android 2.1, and is already available for T-Mobile and AT&T. A Verizon Wireless-compatible version will become available sometime this spring.

I’ve heard that the Nexus One is being considered a failure due to its 125,000 worth of sales.

Perhaps there will be a Nexus One sales rise since it is now available for 3G on AT&T and Rogers networks. It is available on Google’s store for $529, but hey, you can also get it unlocked and use it with a SIM card.

Anyway, if this deal floats your boat, you should probably let them float it.

With US consumers really getting their fill on the HTC Nexus One, our friends on the other side of the big pond will soon see the arrival of Google's flagship Android phone. Since its unveiling back in January, it was confirmed that the Nexus One was coming to Vodafone UK some time in the spring; specifically it was scheduled for an April release.

From the looks of it though, the Nexus One has finally landed on Vodafone UK's web site with a “coming soon” attached to it – early adopters planning on snatching up the phone can register to get updates about the handset. Even better news are on the horizon as it's expected to make some waves with a possible release before the month of March is over. Despite the anticipation starting to simmer from Vodafone customers awaiting for the Nexus One, there is still no official price announced for the smartphone – but it's speculated to land in at €150 with a 2 year contract. Fortunately for Vodafone UK customers, they'll also be treated with another Android 2.1 device with the HTC Legend that's coming soon as well.

As more people patiently wait for the supposed release of the Google Nexus One from Vodafone, new rumors have it that the official release date will be this coming April. This was said to be more realistic than the scheduled January release but pricing has so far been withheld.

Ballpark figures are telling us that Vodafone may offer the Google Nexus One for about €150 with a contract. Well you have a couple of months to confirm if this rumor is indeed true.
