In a March 17 confirmation, wireless carrier Sprint said that it will ‘soon’ sell the Google-branded Android-based Nexus One smartphone – however, the carrier refrained from giving further details about the when it would be offering the Google handset and how much it intends charging for it.

With Sprint disclosing its plans to go Google, it will become the third US carrier to pledge support to Nexus One – the other two being T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. In fact, Google had also revealed in a March 16 statement that the device, which has thus far sold only 135,000 units ever since its January launch, would also run on AT&T’s 3G network.

Though Sprint’s current lineup of Android-based handsets includes Samsung Moment and HTC Hero, the proposed move to sell Nexus One will give the Overland Park-based carrier to partner will Google as well as a phone that can entice users who regularly access Google’s calendars and other services.

Noting that Spring and Google will continue to sell the Nexus One handset via the Google Webstore, which marks Google’s foray into the emerging go-to-market model for selling smartphones, Fared Adib, Sprint’s VP of product development, said: “Nexus One is a powerful device that belongs on a powerful network. This is another step in our continued partnership of innovation with Google.”
