Verizon Nexus One port to Sprint?

If the Supersonic ends up not being that cool, how hard do you think it would be to switch carriers? I have no real experience with Android and for WM phones, the port is pretty easy to do. Thanks.

I think it will all depend on who you get with Sprint on the phone and how they feel about adding the ESN from a Verizon phone. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't; it seems random from what I have heard other members talk about in the past.

If Google sales the CDMA Nexus One direct to consumer can I buy it and use on Sprint?

You should because that is unlocked phone that does not have an ESN that is associated with any particular carrier.

Now that would be an interesting concept... has there ever been a cdma phone that was sold as unlocked before?

Guys - i'm fairly certain that unless Sprint and Google agree to include the N1 on sprint, you're never going to get it ported.

Sprint has the tightest rules about bringing non-sprint phones to their network. That's the one thing (aside from lack of phone choices) that Sprint really sticks on. If the ESN from a phone is not registered with and included in Sprints system, good luck getting anyone to activate it for you.

I'd be very surprised unless it becomes an official release.
