1.5GHz Android HTC Scorpion headed to Verizon not Sprint?

It's an Android-flavored morning today, taking a break from MIDS – leaked or shipping – to instead look at some HTC Scorpion speculation.  The new smartphone news – the existence of which was first tipped earlier this year – comes courtesy of ROM fondler conflipper, who says we should expect a Verizon (and Bell Mobility) launch for the 1.5GHz Snapdragon phone.

That chip has been confirmed by Qualcomm themselves as on the timeline at least, though they've not given exact dates as to when we could expect to see it show up in shipping handsets.  What's interesting is that the Scorpion was originally tipped to be landing on Sprint, thanks to a mention of WiMAX in a leaked build file.
