Message I received from sprint regarding the Nexus One

Thank you for contacting Sprint regarding the new device launch.

We are glad to know that you are interested in buying the Nexus One
handset.

Unfortunately, this handset model is not on offer as of now.

Once it is launched, you will see promotional campaigns related to the
launch date and the features of the handset on our Web site and other
promotional media.

Thank you for showing interest in our products & services. Please let us
know if you would like us to assist you with anything else.

Sincerely,
Maverick S.

It makes me think that they are going to get it, it's just when. I think Google is not looking for exclusivity, but wide adoption. After all their business is marketing and advertising so the more people that get their hands on it the better.

I was just at a Sprint store and apparently the Nexus 1 is coming to sprint, but no ETA. Also I think there will be no mail in rebates just strait instant discount. Pretty cool stuff!

First off, unless you know that store/representative well, be careful what you believe. The stores I deal with are very professional and well informed, Is that generally the case with the store you went to?

Would be great if Sprint did away with mail-in rebates all together...

Best Buy has, by far, the highest percentage of incompetent sales people per store, but the instant rebates are a consideration for a lot of people...

I don't think its BS. They are never supposed to comment, but the area get that information ahead of time. I just thing VW is farther along the process thats all. It will come to sprint.

Yeah I wouldn't rely on their information either. I will wait until I hear more about it from an official source. I sure hope they do though.

I think focusing on 4G announcements right now instead of new handsets is a mistake. 4G is still only available to a very small percentage of the USA and they don't have any phones that even work on it yet so why make it a focus of your CES? why not wait until they have devices ready to run on it before they make it a big deal? or wait until more major cities have access to it.

I think sprints biggest issue now is they have no exclusive phones that make people think of sprint like AT&T has Iphone and Verizon has Droid, sprint keeps running ads for the Hero, Tour and Pre yet Verizon has the Eris which is the hero really, the tour and they are getting a much improved version of the pre. They rely on saying how much cheaper they are than other carriers yet Tmobile is pretty much the same price wise and they are getting the nexus one and the HD2, what is sprint getting? I am actually ready to leave sprint for verizon even at the higher plan price point if they don't get a phone worth having, low prices don't matter if you don't have phones people want to use. I'd like to be able to cancel my landline but I can't stand the call quality on the instinct so there is no way I'd use that as my primary phone. If I went to verizon for the nexus one and liked the call quality I could cancel my land line and that would more than make up for the difference in price.
