Google Nexus One heads for Sprint

Looks like Sprint will be yet another carrier that will carry the Google Nexus One which they hope will be able to take full advantage of Sprint’s 3G Mobile Broadband Network. There is no word on pricing or availability, but do expect some news concerning both to be available pretty soon. Sprint touts that their 3G network has double the coverage of AT&T and 10 times that of T-Mobile when based on square miles. Expect Sprint's Nexus One to be powered by the Android 2.1 operating system. Other hardware specifications remain intact, so why not check out our review of the Nexus One and see whether it rocks your boat or not?

Sprint Overdrive Review

Since CES 2010, Sprint has unveiled the Overdrive, a 4G (WiMax) and 3G mobile broadband HotSpot that invents a WIFI bubble for up to five wireless devices. Sprint sees it as a potential replacement for low-end DSL connections, and certainly a replacement for dial-up connections. We have tried it in both WiMax and 3G modes, and it's day to see whether Sprint sales pitch lives up to a real world experiment.

First, let's summarize how Sprint is pitching that devices to you and I - and let's see whether it's true or not. Here's a bulleted list that can be found on their website:

  • 4G Speeds that are up to 10X faster than 3G
  • Share your connection with up to Five WIFI devices
  • One device for all your broadband needs
  • Wireless and totally portable
  • Easy to connect, easy to use
