Fear Not, Sprint shall provide the Nexus One

It appears as though there is still great hope out there for all you Sprint users that have been patiently waiting for the Nexus One. Benjamin over at AndroidGuys.com talked with a Sprint customer service rep that is still confirming they are planning to launch the Sprint Nexus One in May. Benjamin claims Google has declined to comment on the issue, and he has not heard back from Sprint. Below is the chat transcript for your viewing pleasure.

4:04:26 PM : Jenny K: Please provide me the detail of your concern.
4:04:58 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: So today Google has said that they will no longer be bringing the Nexus One to Verizon. I’ve been holding out for Sprint to get it and have been waiting ever since Sprint’s press release saying that it IS coming.
4:05:29 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: I was wondering if Sprint will still be getting the Nexus One, and if so when?
4:05:58 PM : Jenny K: Please allow me a few moments to check this for you.
4:06:28 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: Here’s the Sprint press release, btw… http://newsreleases.sprint.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=127149&p=irol-newsArticle_newsroom&ID=1403426&highlight
4:08:08 PM : Jenny K: Thank you for being online.
4:08:33 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: Thanks for taking the time to help.
4:10:39 PM : Jenny K: I have checked the information for you. Unfortunately, we do not have the information about the launching date of this phone. This is correct that we are going to launch the nexus. It will be most probably launched in May.
4:11:25 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: So just cuz the CDMA Verizon version is not happening, doesn’t mean that Sprint’s gonna bail also?
4:11:56 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: Isn’t it dangerous to launch the Nexus around the same time as EVO 4G? Or is Sprint not concerned about that?
4:13:30 PM : Jenny K: Yes, Nexus is different phone and EVO is different phone. The launch time of both the phone is different.
4:15:12 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: but isn’t EVO launching in June?
4:16:02 PM : Jenny K: Yes, you are correct. We are going to launch the EVO in June.
4:16:28 PM : Benjamin Rubenstein: But Nexus One is coming in May? Perhaps being launched around Google I/O?
4:17:13 PM : Jenny K: Yes, you are correct.

Do you think it is a mistake Sprint launching the Nexus One in May, and then launching the EVO in June? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
