rumor: nexus one headed to verizon march 23rd?

as motorola droid owners, i’m not sure that we really need to care all that much about the launch of the nexus one on verizon, do we?  it looks like a great phone and all, but it just doesn’t seem to have the aura of the moto droid.  i know it’s a “google” phone, but it really just seems to lack that “something.” with that said, there will likely be people jumping ship as it’s released and for those of you going that route, you are in luck.

the site neowin.net is reporting that a google employee has confirmed the release towards the end of march…

The Nexus One, originally released on T-Mobile in January, has passed FCC inspection for use on Verizon’s CDMA network and according to a Google worker who wishes to remain anonymous it will be made available on March 23.

Verizon will introduce the Nexus One on the day the International CTIA wireless show begins in the US. It’s not yet clear whether Verizon plan to hold a press conference at CTIA regarding the launch. Pricing and tariffs are not yet known but our source said they would be “competitive.”

i guess our next poll should be whether or not people plan on switching.  yuck.
