I have been eagerly awaiting Google’s Nexus One arrival on Verizon – which were initially announced as “Spring 2010“. And according to BoyGeniusReport – it has passed through the FCC.

That raises a couple questions – even for someone who glowed so positively about Android and the Nexus One:

1. AT&T is improving. While I complained about AT&T alongside other vocal folks, I do give them credit for addressing the problem and making improvements. PC world tests showed significant improvlement and rated AT&T as the fastest network (read here – seriously). Anecdotally, I have experienced significant improvements in San Francisco, the valley and Los Angeles. The real test will be when I am in New York this week… which was the worst.

2. The HTC Incredible is launching and is apparently also weeks away…. and it is supposedly a formidable competitor to the Nexus One: ’3.5″ to 3.7″ WVGA capacitive display (believed to be AMOLED), 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, optical trackpad (death to trackballs!), Snapdragon processor and 256MB RAM topped off with Android 2.1 with Sense UI’

I still contend that I will move to Android – not just for Verizon’s network, but because I think it is important to be on Droid’s platform (learning, experimentation, etc) – just as it has been so valuable and educational to be on the iPhone.
