All indicators point that it's going to release for Verizon on the 23rd. Granted, that won't help the "first 75 days" numbers, but I'd wager money that the sales will skyrocket when it's released. No, I don't have any solid data or research to back that up, it's just a hunch. I've held off of disowning my BB Storm and getting a Droid just to wait for the Nexus One. Of course, your 2nd point feeds into that heavily. Anytime I mention Android, several people I know that have a Droid or Droid Eris claim they have an "Android". I suppose technically speaking, they do, but they certainly don't understand the difference.
