Et tu, Sprint?
It seems like all the major US mobile providers want a Google Nexus One that is compatible with their network and to help build their customer base. First came the Nexus One in January to work with T-Mobile's 3G/UMTS 900/AWS/2100MHz network, and then yesterday came a new version to work specifically on AT&T's (and Rogers) 3G/UMTS 850/900/2100MHz networks. We also knew that Verizon was going to get their own CDMA/EVDO Rev A. version, which is expected out in a few weeks. So who's missing from the Nexus One party? Sprint. We guess their RSVP got lost in the mail, but better late than never as Sprint has now announced plans that there will be a specific Nexus One compatible with their network, and will be sold directly on-line through the Google Phone Store. Unfortunately the press release doesn't give a price or date, but simply states "we are confident that it will be consistent with Sprint's commitment to deliver more value than our competitors and keep pricing simple". So does this mean Sprint will have a 2-year contract pricing similar to T-Mobile? Or are they waiting to see what Verizon will have their pricing as first? All we know at this point is that competition is a good thing and we're glad to see that all 4 major US providers will have a Nexus One that will be compatible with their respective networks. Now how about a CDMA/GSM global roaming version?
