I completely agree with this and am actually hoping for it. I do not want to see sold N1s in stores. I don't want a phone that everyone else has! It's stupid I know, just how I like it. It would defeat Google's own purpose, for Google to p#ss away their sales model and start selling them in the store. The "World Phone" I don't believe would hold up or it would have been indicated on the FCC findings. And I don't see the advantages for either company to release similar phones at the same time, in which one will be sold in stores and advertised the hell out of by VZW, and the other will only be sold online and not advertised by VZW at all. I don't really know, all of my interpretations could be completely false and I could be wrong, but going off of how Google seem to want to do things now...this is how I see it.
