Google Confirms The Nexus One Will Not Join Verizon
 By Michael Martin
The only way to purchase a Nexus One is to visit google.com/phone and get it either on AT&T unsubsidized, or on T-Mobile with or without a subsidy. If you visited the site as recently as last week you also would have seen a placeholder for Verizon Wireless which stated the device was coming soon. This morning, though, James Kendrick found a new note:
It doesn't explicitly say that the Nexus One won't hit Verizon, but that seems like a strong implication. Why move people towards a different handset if you still plan to offer one? Phandroid sent a request for comment, and Google was nice enough to respond.
We won't be selling a Nexus One with Verizon, and this is a reflection of the amazing innovation happening across the open Android ecosystem. Verizon Wireless customers who want an Android phone with the power of the Nexus One can get the Droid Incredible by HTC, which can be pre-ordered now and which will be available in Verizon Wireless stores on Thursday, April 29th.
