Verizon Nexus One to get Sense UI?
The planned Verizon edition of the Nexus One may have HTC's own Sense UI on top when it arrives, the online equipment guide at the carrier showed today. It claims that, in addition to the switch to CDMA, the phone will use HTC's own custom interface and not the plain Android 2.1 foundation. Sense UI for 2.1 brings an all-at-once view of the home screen, new widgets and most notably multi-touch inputs, although a recent Nexus One update added this in multiple key apps.
The Android Central slip also reveals that the phone will only be offered for sale online, via Google, much as with the T-Mobile version on sale today. Google has hoped to change the phone sales model and limits the carrier to supporting the network.
Otherwise, the two versions of the Nexus One will have the same specs, including the 1GHz Qualcomm processor, 512MB of RAM, 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There are still no indications of a ship date or pricing for the Verizon edition of the Nexus One.
