For those of you considering the Nexus One, I wrote to Google a few days ago asking if they were planning on coming out with a phone that works on both GMS and CDMA network and here is the answer:

Quote:

Thanks for your email.

We understand that you are interested in knowing whether our upcoming
release of Nexus One compatible with Verizon supports both GSM and CDMA
networks.

Unfortunately, we do not have any information on this.

Please keep checking our web-store for more updates.

Regards,
The Google Team

Nexus One Help Forum at

I guess that's that, then

Thanks for the link ^ I knew the phone was going to Verizon, didn't know about Sprint but that makes sense.

Umm, last I knew, Nextel was no longer, because it was eaten up by Sprint (and therefore running on Sprint's network)... At least that's how it was when I had my Nextel a few years back.

They are the same, but they are still two seperate networks, our internal booster network, will only work with phones carrying the nextel logo. My boss before this tried buying a "Sprint signal booster" and wondered why they didnt work on our phones. Our one phone which has the Sprint logo, does not get a boost.

TK, and others who like a physical KB, may not want to grab the Nexus One just yet

"The Shadow project is what Motorola are running currently and this is would seen is the most speculated candidate for the Nexus Two. Google’s next Android phone to be launched is said to be a business phone which will have a physical keyboard."

hmm.. maybe good things do come to those who wait

Interesting... Then again, I wouldn't mind not having a physical keyboard at all times, since I can always get a pretty cheap portable bluetooth keyboard if/when I need it.

For example: http://bit.ly/dezYV2

you know I was having second thoughts when I ordered the BB because the "Lexus One" as I like to call it is sooooooooooooooo f'n cool, but in the end, I'll probably be happy I waited when some a moto droid equivalent comes to my network, which is bound to happen eventually.

^ true. and pretty cool! more stuff to carry around though. I kind of like the slider form factor, it's all there, in one piece (well, so to speak).

you know, one of my buddies is trying to talk me into returning the BB already and getting the nexus one instead. I think he just wants me to get it so he can play with it
