Rumor has it that a Verizon Wireless compatible version of the Nexus One could launch as early as March 23. Google is expected to announce availability at the Spring CTIA show in Las Vegas starting on the same date.

This makes sense as Google has previously stated that the Nexus One would come to Verizon sometime in the spring. The phone will launch on the Android Store and presumably at Verizon Wireless retail outlets. Pricing has not been announced, but will likely fall near the current subsidized price of $179 on T-Mobile.

Despite the many things that the Verizon enjoys pointing out that the Motorola "Droid Does", evidently one of the things it doesn't do is get the Android 2.1 update, at least not yet. It had been fairly heavily rumored that Verizon was planning an OTA update to Android 2.1 for all Motorola Droid owners yesterday, January 22nd. Unfortunately for many hopefully Droid owners, yesterday has come and gone, and without an Android update.
