Google's first self-branded smartphone will soon be available on each of the four major cellular networks in the U.S.

Sprint just officially announced the impending arrival of Google Nexus One, though it neglected to reveal pricing or a release date. Details will likely become somewhat clearer at next week's CTIA conference.

Google's attempt to sell the Nexus One directly to consumers has been a bust so far. With versions covering all four carriers however, the sleek smartphone has a much better chance of being noticed. Even still, a bit of advertising certainly wouldn't hurt.

The Google Nexus One features a 3.7-inch touchscreen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Android 2.1, and is already available for T-Mobile and AT&T. A Verizon Wireless-compatible version will become available sometime this spring.

I’ve heard that the Nexus One is being considered a failure due to its 125,000 worth of sales.

Perhaps there will be a Nexus One sales rise since it is now available for 3G on AT&T and Rogers networks. It is available on Google’s store for $529, but hey, you can also get it unlocked and use it with a SIM card.

Anyway, if this deal floats your boat, you should probably let them float it.

With US consumers really getting their fill on the HTC Nexus One, our friends on the other side of the big pond will soon see the arrival of Google's flagship Android phone. Since its unveiling back in January, it was confirmed that the Nexus One was coming to Vodafone UK some time in the spring; specifically it was scheduled for an April release.

From the looks of it though, the Nexus One has finally landed on Vodafone UK's web site with a “coming soon” attached to it – early adopters planning on snatching up the phone can register to get updates about the handset. Even better news are on the horizon as it's expected to make some waves with a possible release before the month of March is over. Despite the anticipation starting to simmer from Vodafone customers awaiting for the Nexus One, there is still no official price announced for the smartphone – but it's speculated to land in at €150 with a 2 year contract. Fortunately for Vodafone UK customers, they'll also be treated with another Android 2.1 device with the HTC Legend that's coming soon as well.

For those of you who think that HTC Desire and Nexus One are very much the same thing, know that the Desire is a tad better than Google’s handset. However, this can be fixed, since that bit of customization brought by HTC can now be found in a ROM that was ported to Nexus One.



This process was done thanks to Paul from MoDaCo, who discovered the ROM and started playing with it, in order to create a port for the Nexus One. We remind you that HTC Desire isn’t even available yet, since it’ll go live in April and already people are messing with its software.

The purpose of the port was to get the new phone’s goodies to the Google Phone, stuff like the HTC Sense UI and camera apps with face recognition, but we’ve also found out that Flash in the browser is working and bugs are being corrected as we speak. More info on this beta ROM and download links for it can be found here.
