During the official Nexus One announcement, Google said it would be bringing the handset to Big Red in "spring 2010." While passing the FCC doesn't mean a launch is imminent, handsets that jump through the governmental hoops are generally no more than a month or two out. The smartphone will likely be sold through Google's online store but I don't see the point of it being unlocked because it's nearly impossible to hot swap between Sprint and Verizon.

The Nexus One's model number is PB99100, which is very similar to this new device. It is possible that this new device is the CDMA version of the Nexus One, which is supposed to land at Verizon Wireless later this year.
