Verizon’s first Android device could be the Motorola Calgary, after an unnamed but trusted source confirmed that the sliding QWERTY handset will indeed run Google’s open-source OS. The Calgary was first spotted in render form back in December 2008, as part of Verizon’s 2009 Motorola line-up.
In fact the Calgary will not only be Verizon’s first Android device, but Motorola’s too. The ailing US company has previously confirmed that it was developing mid- to high-end Android devices, although no specific handset details were made public.
Little, therefore, is known about the Verizon Motorola Calgary, though it’s said to focus on social networking. Motorola were tipped to bring their first Android handset to market by the end of Q2 2009, but it’s unclear whether this timescale is still accurate for the Calgary.
Wouldn't that be the worst of both worlds? The added bulk of a qwerty slider, and lack of key travel and poor tactile feedback of a touchscreen.
and any phone with android is nice.....
2) Ugly ugly ugly design
3) why are the face buttons seem to be at the top of the face?

but ew...verizon.....
they always find someway to destroy the OS. Its annoying.
And I'm sure the phone will have Verizon's logo plastered 50 different places on both the hardware and in the software -- that's their schtick. When I had a Razr with them, it was so annoying that I hacked the phone just to remove all the stoopid VZW logos from the software -- like I don't know who my carrier is -- gimmie a freakin break.
