We’ve only just seen it shuttle through the FCC, but according to the latest rumors Verizon’s CDMA version of the Google Nexus One will get its official release on March 23rd. Neowin’s source – apparently a Google employee who has requested to remain anonymous – claims the carrier will unveil the EVDO Rev.A Nexus One on the first day of CTIA Wireless.
The employee did not have any pricing information, however, either for the outright purchase price of the new Android 2.1 smartphone or for Verizon’s data plan or subsidized costs. However they apparently confirmed it would be “competitive” with T-Mobile’s prices for the existing GSM model.More

Remember that the hand waving thing that has a Nexus One to abandon the way 3G ghost, a little too easily? Well, we do not want to pop the champagne at once, but there is a new non-over-the-air firmware update floating around that also includes a hump radio among its various features, suggesting HTC is not everything agree, however this thing to get a good HSPA without freaking long time. Whatever this update is, she may never see official light of day in its current form – it includes Google Maps 3.4, for one thing, while Google has already gone ahead and raised the stakes to 4.0 support for Buzz – but at least it seems engineers are not trying to make this thing work properly.

This could be the best entry yet in the Nexus Google A series of videos. Doubleheader today is marked by the testing and manufacture of the device, and while all schools of white and assembly lines may be interesting in their own right, nothing we love more than see how Google and HTC stress test of his labor of love. Watch it dropped, banged, bent, bush and exploded – okay, maybe not explode, and we unfortunately do not get to see a crack phone, but it is still good fun. The big game is not over yet, so give yourself a few minutes and press the two short videos after the break.

The first installment of Google’s fancy Nexus One design series focused on the sound quality of the device, and on the overall design. Well, part two is here now, and this time, we get to watch while HTC project manager Tomasz Hasinki and Android software engineer Romain Guy give us the goods on the Nexus One’s OLED display and the interactive, 3D framework. We’re expecting a couple more videos in the series, so grab a very tiny bowl of popcorn (it’s pretty short) and check out the video, which is after the break.
