Nexus One from Google Coming to Sprint

Nexus One is planned for the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network with
twice the network coverage of AT&T and ten times the network coverage
of T-Mobile, both by square miles; Expands Sprint’s Android portfolio

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., – March 17, 2010 – Nexus One, the first wireless
phone sold through Google’s web store, is planned for Sprint’s 3G
Mobile Broadband Network. Sprint (NYSE:S) will announce pricing and
an exact availability date soon. Nexus One will benefit from Sprint’s
3G network with twice the coverage of AT&T and 10 times the coverage
of T-Mobile, both based on square miles.1

Sprint currently has America’s largest voice calling area of any
carrier reaching more than 307 million people in the U.S., Puerto Rico
and U.S. Virgin Islands with a Sprint phone and plan that includes
roaming. PC World recently said no one has a more reliable network
than Sprint in a 13 city 3G performance test.2 Customers can check the

“Nexus One is a powerful device that belongs on a powerful network.
This is another step in our continued partnership of innovation with
Google,” said Fared Adib, Sprint vice president of product
development. “Sprint customers already have the option of two amazing
Android devices with Samsung Moment™ and HTC Hero™. It is a natural
fit for us to add Nexus One to the list of choices available for
Sprint customers who want the best value in wireless with the best in
Android.”
Google’s online consumer channel was created to provide an efficient
way to connect online users with selected Android phones. Nexus One
will not be available in any Sprint retail channels. It will be
available directly from Google at google.com/phone. The online
experience of Google’s web store is designed with a focus on
simplicity allowing consumers to match a phone with the service plan
that best meets their needs.
“While a pricing plan has not yet been determined for Nexus One, we
are confident that it will be consistent with Sprint’s commitment to
deliver more value than our competitors and keep pricing simple,” Adib
said. “Right now, our Sprint Everything Data 450 plan with Any Mobile,
Anytime(SM) gives customers unlimited calling with any mobile phone in
America, unlimited text and unlimited Web for just $69.99 per month –
the same price AT&T and Verizon charge for just unlimited talk. Our
Everything Data plans include unlimited GPS Navigation at no extra
charge and annual phone upgrades with Sprint Premier.”
