According to a Sprint employee on Reddit, the carrier will only be selling the 32GB Midnight Blue variant of the Nexus 6 on its network. The carrier will not be offering other variants of the handset either in-store or through its online web store.

On the bright side, Sprint will allow interested Nexus 6 customers to buy the handset from Google Play and activate it on their network, though they will have to obtain a UICC SIM card first. Apparently, the Cloud White variant of the Nexus 6 is going to be a Play Store-exclusive for sometime, though there has been no official announcement from Google on this front.

Rumors indicate that Sprint will start selling the Nexus 6 from 14th November on its network, but again the carrier is yet to confirm this piece of news.

Just like every year, Google has once again managed to royally screw the launch of its new Nexus handset. The Motorola made Nexus 6 went on sale on 31st October on the Google Play Store but sold out in less than a minute. Google then announced that it will be selling the handset in limited quantity through the Play Store every Wednesday.

T-Mobile is also slated to start selling the Nexus 6 from later this week but even the carrier will have the handset in limited quantity initially.
