FCC; Verizon Nexus One (CDMA) Passed


FCC has approved a CDMA HTC smartphone, model name PB99300. We're not 100% sure but this looks like the Verizon Nexus One that's said to be out in Spring.


The T-Mobile GSM/HSPA Nexus One is the PB99100, so it's very likely that PB99300 is the CDMA Nexus One. When Google officially announced the Nexus One on T-Mobile, they also said that GSM folks will have the Verizon version of it in Spring of 2010.
