Rumours leak out over availability dates

Two separate reports on the internet over the weekend have dated the?Nexus One?from Google in the US and the UK with official carriers.

In the UK, The Telegraph newspaper is reporting that sources close to both companies have confirmed to the paper that the phone that runs the Android operating system wil be available via the Vodafone network in “April” roughly the same time as the HTC Desire is expected to go on sale.

Vodafone, who is still yet to officially say anything other than “Spring” has commented on the rumours.

Meanwhile Neowin, is stating that “Verizon?will release Google’s Nexus One Android device on March 23 according to sources familiar with the matter.”

The phone, which was spotted on its way through the FCC in the US with a CDMA chipset earlier in the week, is already available on the T-Mobile network with a two-year contract, but customers and critics will agree a CMDA version will offer better connectivity and coverage via the Verizon network.

Users of course can already get the Google Nexus One direct from Google, but will have to pay over $500 for an unsubsidized version of the phone.
