Sprint dealt a blow to Google this afternoon by saying it had abandoned plans for its version of the Nexus One. The carrier explained that it had no need for Google's official Android flagship as the Evo 4G should eclipse it in most every respect: the Sprint-specific device has not only the advantage of its namesake WiMAX but a larger screen, an 8-megapixel rear camera with 720p capture, and a front video chat camera. The decision is abrupt as it follows less than two months after Sprint had pledged a Nexus One release.
