Google Kills Nexus One on Verizon, Says Buy an Incredible Instead

Google Kills Verizon Nexus One, Says Buy an Incredible Instead
The Nexus One for Verizon is no more. Well, to be fair, it never was. But Google has removed the enticing "Coming Soon" tag from its former seat next to the Verizon logo on the Nexus One page. Instead, the company is urging potential customers to check out the "similarly feature-packed" HTC Droid Incredible.

When our pals at Engaget asked about the missing "Coming Soon" tag, Google confirmed that the planned Verizon Nexus One had been canceled in light of the "amazing innovation happening across the open Android ecosystem." As Engadget points out, The Incredible runs HTC's Sense UI on top of Android, meaning it's not quite an exact Nexus One replacement. Still, it sounds like an impressive phone, and we certainly wouldn't refer to buying one as settling for less. Still, if you want the full, proper Android experience on Verizon, your only option for now is the Droid. [From: Engadget]
