Separate pieces of evidence have popped up lately that point to Nexus One being available through AT&T and Sprint, possibly in the near future.<\/p>\n

While it’s already possible to purchase an unlocked Nexus One<\/a>—albeit for $530—to date you’d be unable to run it on AT&T or Sprint’s 3G network. That’s because while the Nexus One supports GSM radio frequency bands, it only supports T-Mobile’s 3G network<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n

What’s changed? For starters, an FCC filing<\/a> from Google for a Nexus One that will run on WCDMA Bands I, II and V, which are the bands that AT&T and several Canadian carriers use for 3G data. If you tried to use your Nexus one on AT&T today, you’d be relegated to EDGE or 2.5G. Not good!<\/p>\n

As for a Sprint version, there have been rumblings for a while, but a recent inquiry to Sprint Customer Solutions about Nexus One availability garnered the following response:<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you for contacting Sprint regarding the nexus one.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this handset model is not on offer as of now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once it is launched<\/strong>, you will see promotional campaigns related to the
\nlaunch date, cost and the features of the handset on our Web site and
\nother promotional media.<\/p>\n

Thank you for showing interest in our products & services. Please let us
\nknow if you would like us to assist you with anything else.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Emphasis added, and seemingly confirmation that the Nexus One will be coming to Sprint.<\/p>\n

And honestly, it should. The unlocked purchase option is a fine idea to get the device in as many people’s hands as possible, but it’s totally impractical for the price, especially with no 3G support from other carriers. [FCC<\/a> via CNET<\/a>]<\/p>\n
