All these posts about the Nexus going to this carrier or that carrier... the reality is that it doesn't go to ANY carrier... T-Mobile doesn't carry it... it's just that it works on AWS (1700), and there's an option to subsidize... but it's not sold by T-Mo, not carried by T-Mo...
So similarly, Sprint won't "get" it, if anything, there will be a CDMA version (Verizon already known), so that same phone should be able to work on Sprint (assuming the ESN isn't locked to VZW - which being that the current N1 is unlocked, i'd hope the CDMA version is "unlocked" as well - in the CDMA sense of the word obviously)...
Nexus One is a GOOGLE phone... it hasn't "gone" nor will it ever "go" to a carrier in the true sense of the word - it will never have a carrier logo on it.... and I'd be somewhat surprised if ever sold in a carrier's store... and that's the beauty of Google's model and approach.... totally carrier free phone... it's about time and I hope other manufacturers do this too (Nokia not-withstanding - as they suck as selling non-branded phones - they are a complete failure frankly here in north america)...
