Why would you think Sprint let us down?
Google probably went to Verizon first.

because every other carrier is getting great phones while sprint thinks the pre and hero are good enough lol

Apple went to Verizon first with the iphone- they got rejected and then to ATT
Google (I'm guessing) went to Verizon first.

If Sprint actually had an opportunity to get these phones and rejected them, I can see your point. But they didn't.

Sprint is simply not as large as the Big two. Now you can indirectly blame them for shooting themselves in the foot with the Nextel fiasco but blaming them for Google's own decision, doesn't make sense.

I'm pretty sure not one of verizons current smartphones are crippled, like the original touch pro/diamond.

I will definitely add this to my list of facts.

Once the Nexus One is available on Verizon, i am almost certain my wife will be inheriting a Motorola Droid

Sprint may not have the big "exclusive" smartphones (ie. iphone, Nexus, and the Droid somewhat) but they do have a wide variety. (they do have the Pre but it isn't as big).

What Sprint does have is the best data plans. I'm probably in the minority but I'm not interested in paying and "arm-n-leg" each month for the latest exclusive phone. Over the course of the contract, it can be $500-$800 more.
