Sprint Reverses Course, Wont Sell Nexus One

The Android OS may be flourishing in the U.S., but the “Google Phone” is clearly not. Sprint has decided not to sell the Google Nexus One only months after saying they would, a move that isn’t terribly surprising following the death of the Verizon Nexus One. Sprint spokeswoman Michelle Leff Mermelstein confirmed to Gizmodo Monday that the company wouldn’t be selling the Nexus One because of the “upcoming availability of the award-winning Evo 4G.”
It appears both Sprint and Verizon shied away from the Google Nexus One because they could instead have their own branded Android phones with just as much power or more. The Evo 4G, an Android 2.1 device with a 4.3-inch LCD screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, is widely expected to be released in a matter of weeks. Verizon has the HTC Droid Incredible, a well-reviewed Android 2.1 phone that is PCMag’s new Editors’ Choice for Verizon smartphones.
