An interesting article over at cooltechzone.com gives us something to think about in relation to the Nexus One and possible threat to Verizon.

We now all know that the Google Nexus One will not debut directly with Verizon and so therefore will not be available through the largest US carrier.

The question being asked though is will the Nexus One pose a threat to Verizon if it is successful, bearing in mind that is pretty much what the model is all about.

It is about liberating customers from the 2 year standard carrier contracts and give the option to pay upfront and be able to walk away at any point, so far Nokia have failed with the unsubsidised model and we are all used to paying a little up front for Smartphones and that is what Google is attempting to change.
