Sprint and Verizon have both confirmed they will be carrying Google's Nexus One shortly, however there seems to be issues regarding compatibility.
Originally, speculations were suggesting that Sprint and Verizon would create a software update for existing AT&T and T-Mobile Nexus One owners to update their devices to support CDMA networks. With this update, owners could still keep their existing Nexus One units and use it on Sprint/Verizon's CDMA network. Now this seems to be false.
Customers will need to buy a new CDMA-based Nexus One from Verizon or Nexus One in order to be able to use it on the networks.
AT&T and T-Mobile utilize GSM networks hence why their devices need a SIM card to operate. However Verizon and Sprint use CDMA which has the network implemented inside the device itself.
