Speculation about why Verizon didn’t get its Android phone from Motorola when the T-mobile device was announced recently is running rampant. Many expected the Verizon device to debut alongside T-Mobile’s and that didn’t happen.

InformationWeek reports that Verizon is set to get its Motorola Android phone in the next few weeks. The Cliq is the device announced for T-Mobile; perhaps Verizon simply didn’t want to share the spotlight with a competitor?

InformationWeek cites a source who claims that the Verizon android powered Motorola handset is ready to go and Motorola is just waiting for Verizon to get its ducks in a row. From the unorganized way the Motorola event came off, it’s clear that the decision to not show off both phones at once was last minute and the real reasons why may never be known.

  1. wasn't whitestone the program in the bourne identity?

    hmmm tmobile better hurry up and release some killer android phones, cause verizon has better coverage and i only signed a 2 yr contract!

    1.cliq
    2.pulse
    3.samsung galaxy lite
    4.tattoo
    5.samsung omia hd
    6.samsung behold

    The Samsungs are pretty much rumors although I the galaxy lite has been pretty much confirmed. So, let's treat it like spades and say 4 and a possible 2(or more)lol.
  5. omnia and behold are going to be android phones? aren't they out and on winmo?

    beyond that i only knew of the cliq and galaxy (the phone, yes i still want!)

    The tattoo is the entry level htc that runs the sense ui, the omnia hd and behold are rumored to run android in the second generation. The behold runs samsungs own touchwiz which I think is a version of symbian but I'm not 100% sure but its not winmo.
  7. Nah, its the Motorola A855 ("Sholes")

    Been waiting some time for this. Glad its finally being released.
  8. Verizon may be releasing 4 androids by the end of the year.
