The Nexus One carrier rollout continues! Sprint has announced that the flagship Android phone will be coming to its network “soon.”
Google is going all-out here in the U.S. with its self-branded “superphone,” the Nexus One. The device is and has been already available with T-Mobile for a while now. It recently became compatible with AT&T’s 3G network. A Verizon Wireless version will be made available this spring. And now, we learn that the Nexus One will even come to Sprint as well. The information was disclosed by none other than Sprint itself.
Pricing and availability details have been revealed yet, given that the company has not determined a price for the device at this moment. It is expected that Sprint will reveal a few more details next week at the international Cellular Telephone Industries Association [CTIA] Wireless 2010 convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Arriving in Sprint marks a major milestone for the Nexus One, as it will become the first Android-based device to be available on all four major wireless carriers in the U.S. More as we learn more.
Sprint and Verizon use the same network technology (CDMA), and while phones are not interchangeable between networks (theoretically it is possible, but the steps involved make it an option even most phone geeks will avoid), manufacturers frequently release handsets for both networks at the same time.
