As we mentioned yesterday, the specs behind HTC's latest device are pretty drool-worthy: a Snapdragon CPU, an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and video, a 480x800 OLED screen -- it pretty much looks like the next great Android device.

Given the similarities between the Incredible and the Google Nexus One, jkOnTheRun questions the viability of both phones ending up on the Verizon network. Because the HTC Incredible will carry Verizon's Droid branding (and clearly features the Sense UI), it isn't likely that the phone will be sold directly through Google, a la the Nexus One. So does that mean that the Nexus One is still coming to Verizon?

The Nexus One is now available for AT&T and T-Mobile -- and soon Sprint subscribers -- in the United States, making Verizon the last major carrier to make any sort of official Nexus One announcement. Google's Nexus One page still says "Coming Spring 2010," and while that technically means it may still appear in late June, it will be interesting to see whether or not the Droid Incredible changes the scenario.

For consumers, it ultimately may not matter if the Nexus One officially arrives on Verizon or not, especially since the Droid Incredible will offer the same features plus a better camera. Verizon or Android users: Are you interested in getting the Droid Incredible? Let us know.
