Well, well, well — lookie here. See that screenshot up above? That’s allegedly a screen shot of the Verizon Nexus One spec sheet, right off of Verizon’s Intranet Equipment Guide. Now, look a bit closer. About 10 bullet points down. See it? “Sense UI (User Interface)”.
For those not keeping track, Sense is HTC’s user interface mod for Android. It started off primarily as a much-needed visual overhaul, then came to include features like Flash in the browser. It’s a pretty great addition to Android – and it’s one thing that the currently available T-Mobile Nexus One is lacking.
Before getting too excited: I’d take this with the grainiest grain of salt you’ve got handy. Even if this screenshot is real (which we don’t have reason to doubt, so far), it’s quite possible that it slipped in there unintentionally. The Nexus One is very much a Google-brand phone (albeit one made by HTC), and HTC has told us all along that it won’t ever get Sense through official means.
But hey, things change, right? Perhaps Google and HTC have just gotten a bit friendlier about the rules since Apple went on the offensive against them.
Also worth noting: according to the image, the Nexus One will only be available through Google’s online store, rather than Verizon retail spots.
[Good find, Android Central!]
So Verizon’s getting both the Nexus One and the HTC Incredible? Perhaps that’s why the Incredible’s being underclocked.
This seems like it doesn’t make sense, but actually it does. Verizon doesn’t want anyone messing with the Droid (stock) and it’s about to kill the Eris (Sense). Sure, the Incredible might be coming out too, but I don’t think Verizon cares if the Nexus cannibalizes the Incredible.
But then there’s the issue of what the purpose of the Incredible is if the N1 has Sense. Hmmm.
Verdict? Just put that Flash on nexus one and we should be fine!
wow.
I cant wait to get rid of my blackberry!!!
Greg, can you give “us” a rundown of what email is like in terms of latency/reliability/etc on Android-Stock-Sense-Motoblur
Blackberry is a smartphone but the browser and apps are…well crap. So email is really the main draw…how does Android stack up? Is it phone specific (motoblur=Noc so just like BB??)
Anyway…can’t wait to get my next phone in a month…IT WILL BE AN ANDROID!

Page seems suspicious or, at best, carelessly done, since the google URL is also wrong. The URL should be http://www.google.com/phone not /phones. I’ve been with Verizon since ’96 and they are infamous for shoddy spec sheets.
Good eye.
Hello Greg,
Hear anything about Apple suing to keep verizon nexus one from launching? http://www.ozcarguide.com/technology/cellphone-pda/2570-verizon-nexus-one
Read an article earlier on this web site that the nexus one is going to be with verizon sometime during the week of March 23-36. Just gonna have to wait till then and see.
Doesn’t HTC have their own Nexus One but under a different name and coloring option? I think that’s the one that has Sense. Maybe that’s why this information is confused? It’d be a pretty easy mistake to make.
The screenshot looks to be a fake. The sizing is off — particularly where that 10th bullet is concerned. Moreover, the text is on the level, but the header is tilted.
Nexus One with Sense would be a Hero if I’m not mistaken.
you are the internals are totally different, the Nexus one is more powerful
Yup, screenshot is a fake, so stop drooling all you fag butts. Just sit back and wait for the stupid phone to come out before you all jump to conclusions. Photochop is your best friends geek dicks!
I actually prefer the Nexus One’s stock UI.. it’s gorgeous.
