Google Nexus One is coming to Sprint

and as for the Supersonic, its not a winmo device, its Android with Sense, and potentially Android 3.0 (froyo) according to some sites.

Way to crush my hopes and dreams! Not sure where I got WinMo from, I guess I just wish that it was Windows Mobile so much that I thought it was.

I think what happened is I'm confusing the Super Sonic with the Scorpion. Super Sonic being the HD2 Android clone and the Scorpion being a 1.5GHz Android, both having 3.0 and WiMax. Confused by the similarities.

Still not sure where I got WinMo from, but until then I'll just keep dreaming. :)

Actually SERO may be possible..

here is why:

The reason you cannot activate an android phone on SERO is because it does not allow the ESN to activate in Sprint's system. BUT The one who does the activation is not sprint but Google...so there is a possibility that it will slide.

Not saying that this is the case, but it gives hope for this possibility rather then 100% defeat.

What makes you say you would activate it using Google? Wouldn't you just activate it like any other Sprint phone, via Sprint's website. We don't really have a precedent for this, but I don't see why it would be any different.

I hope you're right though . Not that I even have SERO, but I don't have an everything plan and want to keep it that way.

If it is like T-mobile they are completely staying out of it.

Even the Activate your phone is on their portal page. Google even provides the tech support...

As I said this does not mean much but it gives a glimmer of hope where there were none before.

we will not see android till late fall early winter, So if the supersonic takes that long to come out then it might have 3.0.

I doubt Nexus One will be that late...my guess is a month or 2 after Verizon. That said if Supersonic is in the market, unless Supersonic has a huge premium price it will kill the N1..because most of the people who get the N1 are those in the know and the Supersonic is obviously superior in all aspects except some people may think it is too big.

As for selling the N1..google never cared how much they sell..they are experimenting with how much they could drive the consumers without interference from the carrier..It is not about selling as it is gauging google's marketing power. It will all come into play years later...

I meant android 3.0 till late fall, if if supersonic comes out late fall then it will have 3.0. Also we will have to wait and see what the final specs are, to see if its 1mb ram or 512. If its 512 then the specs aren't that superior. Slightly better video recording but screen size varies by person. As for sense ui I'm not a fan of that, the standard Google sense is perfect. It will not be 1.5 processor it will be snapdragon and you better hope its not underclocked to 768 like the incredible. Honestly I'm almost 100% positive its not going to be 3.0 and which phone do you think will get the update 1st since the update will come from Google not sprint I mean its the Google phone.

ah ok...well most likely Nexus will always get updates first because thats the phone they use to experiment on my guess.

1mb yeh definitely lol..sorry I know it was a typo but couldn't resist, according to PDADB:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&i...htc_supersonic

It will be 512mb RAM and 1GB ROM which is not bad..Doesn't look like it has AMOLED but possibly just not detailed. So it has 512mb more ROM.

But whats gonna market it is obviously the 4G...and anyone who already has a Supersonic wont get a Nexus One my guess...but if you turn it around if you got Nexus One and 4G is in your area or will be in 2010 then its a different story.

I do not think they would under-clock it but I am more worried about hardware acceleration...I hope they enable it across the entire device.
