About two and half months back, there was a deal between Verizon and Google about Google Mobile search working on Verizon phones. After that deal, everyone thought that we might have an Android-based Verizon phone soon in the market. But this is not the case, sadly. Microsoft, which sees Google’s Android as a potential threat (although they never admitted it openly), is now trying to steal the deal from Google.

There are news that Microsoft is trying to entice Verizon with a higher-guaranteed-payments deal and so far Verizone has looked inclined towards Microsoft. So if Microsoft and Verizone finalize their deal, there are very good chances that we never see an Android-powered Verizone mobile. Sad!
