Leaked: Video Of The Very First Android Device For Verizon?

September 28, 2008  | 

This just popped up on YouTube – only 80 views so far. Someone’s got Android running on a Verizon phone. Is this too good to be true? This definitely looks like the Verizon XV6800.  I’ve already written the person who posted this video, who has yet to reply. Here’s a picture of the Verizon XV6800 so you can compare to the video. There may be a light at the end of the tunnel for those of us on Verizon who are waiting for the Android….

First Verizon Android

Update: I heard from the owner of the video – just posted his reply. The hack is legit and the reply in the post has info on who’s doing it and how to contact them. If you can’t wait for Verizon to release a phone, check out the update post.

    OK...so how did you handle the drivers to the chip set (Hardware abstraction layer)? Can you actually place a call?
  • @RP Check with this guy - he did it successfully. http://bit.ly/BPRl
  • This is an excellent find! I'm actually waiting for something like this to happen with a Sprint phone.

    btw, thanks for following me on Twitter.
  • I think everyone's waiting. The bad news is that Motorola and Nokia are
    rumored to not be releasing Android devices until Q3 2009 -

  • Verizon definitely needs to get their act together and offer a good phone.
  • @Ryan - Just posted a follow-up and updated the post (see link under the video). Man, I love how hackers keep the web interesting.
  • Gotta love the hackers!
