NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Motorola's (MOT Quote) Google (GOOG Quote) Android phone is scheduled for landing at Verizon (VZ Quote) next week.
With hopes they have finally created a blockbuster device to rival Apple's (AAPL Quote) iPhone, Motorola and Verizon are preparing the introduction of the hotly anticipated Google Android phone sometime next week, say three industry analysts who asked not to be named for this story.

This revelation follows the recent Federal lab approval of the phone, and it clears the way for Verizon to start selling the phone during the all-important holiday season.

The Motorola Android phone -- nicknamed Sholes and Tao at various points in its development -- will include a big touchscreen, slide-out keyboard, assisted-GPS and WiFi, according to documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission.

Verizon is looking for a strong Christmas performance from Motorola's Android phone as well as big numbers from Research In Motion's (RIMM Quote) BlackBerries. The Motorola Android and the second version of the BlackBerry Storm are expected to be Verizon's prime focus at the high end of its smartphone offerings.

Verizon representatives did not reply when asked for comments on this story. A Motorola representative declined to comment but added that the company has previously said it would make an announcement in the coming weeks.

Given the two new offerings ahead, and the lackluster demand for Palm's (PALM Quote) Pre phone, Verizon has decided to limit its support for the Pre phone, which was expected to be available in January as TheStreet reported last week.

Smartphone Holiday Preview

Verizon's new Google phone debut would come just weeks after Deutsche Telekom's (DT Quote) T-Mobile, and Motorola unveiled the Android-powered Cliq phone. Noticeably absent at a GigaOM event was No. 1 wireless shop Verizon. A Verizon rep at the time said: "stay tuned."

I can't believe you have the gall to still pump your previously WRONG report about Verizon snubbing the Pre. Are you a shill for VZ or what, Scott?

BTW, you might be interested in knowing that in only a month of reporting AdMob shows #### as having garnered 4% of worldwide OS share. Pretty impressive considering they didn't have worldwide sales. Look it up.

And to Aria above - Verizon's costs will be going up on top of that. Their CTO is talking about usage-based bandwidths and charging on that basis.

The montlhly plans could be expensive, but this Android phone comes with more than 10000 free apps, many new intersting developments and the killer-app: all your SN will be put together, for the first time in a mobile phone! Facebook, Myspace, Orkut, Twitter, Beepo, LastFM, Picasa, Corporate Email, Hotmail, AOL, Youtube,etc,etc,etc,etc.
I will buy one of these!

The fact are simple, VZ's monthly plans are way too expensive, especially when you consider that they don't have anything to even remotely match the iPhone. At least Sprint can match ATT from two flanks, their recent line up of Smart-phones (Pre, Pixie, Tour, HTC Hero (Android based) etc) and inexpensive monthly plans for 'Everything Moble," at $69 or "Simply Everything," at $99. Other than great marketing VZ has a few hanicaps. Sprint can also tout it foray into Wimax (4G), whereas ATT and VZ are still in their Beta stages. It will be interesting to see for how long VZ can use its marketing spin-masters to keep the enemy at its ramparts. As the old cliche goes, crying wolf has its limits.
