Sprint has announced that it will be offering the Google Nexus One phone, featuring Android 2.1, some time in the future. The company said that it will announce the exact release date “soon” and that pricing has yet to be determined. In today’s press release, Sprint vice president of product development Fared Adib said:
While a pricing plan has not yet been determined for Nexus One, we are confident that it will be consistent with Sprint’s commitment to deliver more value than our competitors and keep pricing simple.
The Nexus One was originally available for T-Mobile, with a Verizon version of the phone promised at a future date. Yesterday I wrote about the phone being available for AT&T. With Sprint’s announcement, Google’s Android 2.1 champion product will be available for all four major carriers in the United States.
Any Sprint customers in the house tempted by the Nexus One?
Time to get rid of my Palm Pre. This just made me a happy boy. I was gonna jump ship to get it for Verizon. Looks like this is what I am gonna upgrade.
@RPad I think switched to Sprint right as you jumped ship to T-Mobile. How ya liking them so far?
@TheJediRevan Absolutely pleased with T-Mobile's service in LA, SF, and NY. I'm super pleased with the UMA service, which lets me use my monthly minutes through WiFi no matter where in the world I am. Being able to make "free" calls while I'm in Asia has been huge.
@TheJediRevan I thought of you when I saw the press release.
That's pretty bad ass!
