This is still very much an unconfirmed rumor at the moment, but word is going around that Verizon has begun training some of its employees on an EV-DO variant of the Google Nexus One. There isn’t any confirmed release date just yet, but apparently the device will be sold through Verizon’s retail stores, which might be a silent admission that the online-only method that Google is currently using with T-Mobile isn’t getting the desired results. What do you think about this? Would a retail distribution method help you decide to get a Nexus One, or was that never part of the equation in the first place?
