Will there be a nexus cdma subforum when it is released for sprint? Also if others are interested. I spoke with a sprint rep using the chat feature on the sprint web site. I had read on their release about the nexus that it has to be purchased through google. So I asked if we would be able to use our upgrade rebates and his response was:
"Once the pricing will be declared for this phone, we could be able to help you with upgrade rebates."
Haven't seen or heard the Nexus on Sprint. If so, they would have to redo everything into CDMA instead of GSM. As of now, I've heard of it going to Verizon and Vodafone
Yep it is coming to sprint:

It took about two months for the nexus to show up on att after showing up on t-mobile.
Expect the same time frame after it's available on verizon for it to show up on sprint.
Er, they already have. Verizon is CDMA. Android already supports it, and they need only swap the QSD8250 for the QSD8650 and a few GSM parts for their CDMA equivalents.
It won't be nearly as long (for technical reasons, anyway) between VZW and Sprint since they share frequencies.
if I were you and I already had sprint I'd wait for the HTC Evo 4G.
I love my N1, but being this close to the time 4G is available why not wait a couple months?
True... but if you are willing to wait, then wait for T-mobile to release HSPDA it should br faster than 4G, scheduled to come out this year. Sprint Evo is a great phone, but I think it won't get updates as fast as the nexus one, it being HTCs and not Google.

I am looking to pick up a Nexus One off craigslist and I am just wondering if there is anything I need to know and look for to get a Nexus One that will fully work with Tmobile?
A few questions:
Will an unlocked ATT Nexus One work for me on Tmobile and if so will it do both Edge and 3G for me on Tmobile. What problems might I run in to?
The ATT and Tmobile phones have different 3g connectivity. If you are on tmobile's network, you will want a Tmobile phone. The good news is, you will probably have a much easier time finding a Tmobile Nexus one for sale, as they have been available much longer, and many people using ATT bought a Tmobile one as they were not available originally on ATT.
Thank you Cirkustanz, that was what I was wondering.

if you can wait until june 4, i may be able to sell you my N1
Sorry for asking for fast help but I may be buying a (used, good shape) Nexxus One (via craigslist) and have an important question.
I have ATT wireless, the old, old "blue sim" ATT wireless (with a grandfathered plan I will not get rid of). Also added "unlimited mmode data plan in time before they cancelled unlimited plans (*this is not the iphone data plan).
I currently use a Nokia E51 (symbian s60v3, wifi, decent reception, works on 3G (and switches to Edge when 3G isn't avail).
I'm looking at a Nexxus One that is unlocked, currently on Tmobile.
Question is: will this nexus one work 100% (3g and edge) on my ATT account?
and/or - Is there anything I can do to make it work? (I'd like to buy it).
I'm just not sure a unlocked Tmobile nexus one is 100% compatible or will work on ATT (or can be made to work).
it's cost is making it risky so I came here in hopes of advice and help.
I hope this is the right forum section.
Any help here is appreciated and thank you very much
You will not get 3G. Only edge. T-Mobile and AT&T use different bands for 3G.
btw: here is a link to info on my Nokia E51 (GSM arena)
gsmarena.com/nokia_e51-2106.php
Am I correct in saying that nexus one has the same bands (3g/edge) as the E51 and should work well for an updated phone?
thanks
Like I said, it depends which Nexus one. The AT&T one will only give 3G on AT&T, and the TMobile one will only give 3G on Tmobile. You can't change it, no way to hack it. If you want 3G, you need the correct version for your network.
I see, and thanks for the reply. i was thinking there is a hack/workaround but there isn't apparently.
Now, is there a like phone which still would fullfill my ATT needs (blue sim plan, 3g/edge modes, wifi capable, etc that I should be looking at...essentially like the nexus one)?
What about the HTC Desire (or is this the sam scenario)?
* again, i just can't leave this grandfathered plan, and I'm not a big iphone fan (enough to make me switch plans that is).
thanks for any advice
I just received a reply from a user on the ATT forums (very well versed with my blue plan and mmode, GSM phones) who stated this...
The Nexus One would be your best choice if you want to use AT&T Mobility's 2G & 3G network (they use 850 & 1900 MHz for both).
Now in regard to this used, unlocked Tmobile nexus it may be unusable for me...
but based on his reply, he seems to be saying an (att) Nexus one should offer the 2g (edge) and 3g band features (which I need).
Are we sure about the 3g or edge but not both in regard to the nexus one?
* got my eye set on a att nexus one (really, first it was the HTC Desire - very similar, but the band support was the concern there with the Desire)
thanks
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. You are not listening. The Tmobile Nexus One will NOT give you 3G on AT&T.
BUT the AT&T Nexus One WILL give you 3G.
You just need to get the right one. You just need to buy the AT&T compatible Nexus One. Not the Tmobile one.
You need a Nexus One with the AT&T bands. They exist. I have one. A friend of mine is selling his in the CT area.
No, no...i'm listening, but likely not asking the question right.
I understand to get att 3g I need to get the ATT nexus one. Got it.
* And no, I will not be buying this tmobile nexus one thanks to your replies.
What I'm asking is in regard to 2g/edge ability here. Are you saying that a att nexus one will ONLY offer 3G and not offer any 2G/edge capability?
Others are saying it will also offer the 2G/edge capability as well as att's 3G (like with my E51 currently).
* see there are times when att 3G is unavil/spotty and the phone (E51 in my case) switches to 2G/edge. I just wanted to make sure the att nexus one offers this ability.
thanks

Can I inquire about this phone for sale somehow?
I was looking at this tmobile nexus one for $350, decent condition.
I'm very interested in buying an att nexus one (provided it's 100% working and condition isnt too bad).
thanks for replying guys!

My Nexus One with AT&T bands works just like every other 3G AT&T phone. It works on both EDGE and 3G. If you look at the bands it has, there's no reason it wouldn't.
You need an AT&T banded N1 to get both 3G and EDGE.
If you get the T-Mobile version, you will ONLY GET EDGE on AT&T.
That's the difference: the 3G bands are different between the two, but the EDGE bands are the same.

You can email him at t4show at gmail dot com
It's only about a month old. He bought an iPhone 4. Yuck.
thank you, i sent him an email. hopefully it's still for sale.
btw: what about the HTC Desire? issues with this on my ATT network?
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-3077.php
The desire does not have ATT 3g bands, so you will be stuck on edge. Recently they announced a usa desire which might come with proper 3g, but that phone does not yet exist. So no the desire won't work unless you just want edge.
well, your friend selling his att nexus one stopped replying so I have to assume he's either kept it or selling for a bit more on ebay/etc.
I can bid on a few on ebay that will likely end up being $500+ for slightly used, but can anyone tell me if I can still buy the att 3g version ffor $529 straight from google (as in if I order by this friday)?
or I should also ask: does anyone have an att verision nexus one they're selling?
Is anyone who has the money looking at possibly getting any of the new phones that will be coming out?

To answer your question yes, but I jumped ship. All the new HSPA+ and LTE phones are quite awesome. However, I am an impatient person and not waiting for ATT to roll out LTE, and the new ATT phones just unveiled are for HSPA+ which for ATT in my market is not up to par against LTE for another 6-8 months.
In my quest to find my daughter an ATT Nexus One I ended up with
one that only gets the Edge network on ATT.
I'm assuming this is a T-Mobile Nexus One.
So in my continued quest to find an ATT Nexus One I ran across a guy that said that you can change any Nexus One to run 3G on either carrier by dialing
*#*#4646#*#* and changing a setting.
Is this true ????
I didnt think that sounded right so here I am asking you geniuses
what is the real deal on this.
Thanks for your help.
Not true. It's a hardware issue.
The att nexus has 850/1900/2100 as 3g freq's, while the T-Mobile nexus has 900/1700/2100. Att needs 850/1900.

If that was the case there would not be two different version of Nexus 1
See now thats why I posted in here.
I knew it didnt sound right, and that you XDA guys would know.
Thanks
Yeah he is just trying to make a sale. Its not possible at all.
