Sprints been at a true crossroad the last couple months on commuting to a 4G technology Wimax or LTE.
99.9 % chance it will be LTE by the looks thus chip plays a big factor.
I don't think there is a dual chip available yet that can play both so it will be interesting.

From what I understand a switch from WiMax to LTE is just a firmware update, so my guess is the chip included would just require an update and there you go, WiMax to LTE on your phone now.

True firmware can be done on tower but not on current wimax chips so they would have to use muti capable.
Anyone have a clue on such chip being available?

I don't see the hype. I'm actually disappointed.
A 3D phone? Meh. And by the time this "nexus s 4g" will be released it will be a 6 month old android phone with a single core processor and no expandable storage. Give me a break.
Glad I have not used my upgrade yet. This should be Epic, It has to be.

From what I understand on the subject, the WiMax chips in our phones aren't and can never be compatible with LTE. The infrastructure (network, towers) is compatible with a radio or controller swap but the WiMax chips in the phones are not.
That being said, I would disagree and put it at a 99% probability that whatever they release will be WiMax. LTE would be a better option but I would be very surprised to see them moving to that now, maybe in a year or two.
I had a feeling they were going to have big news. Two things that drive me nuts about Sprints tendencies are their propensity to go with physical keyboards (Epic) and chrome rims around the phone which I think are very ugly (Touch Pro, EVO Shift). If they release a Nexus S, just the way it is but with the addition of 4G, that would be a very difficult device to turn down.

Beceem is the only company I'm aware of that has had muti capable chip in the works and that was well after EVO release....Im pretty sure Epics not using it.
hopefully Sprint has smarted up and will be using it....if its even available yet.

As i said in another thread,if all sprint did was just add 4G to the current nexus S,it will be a huuuuge flop.
If they don't bump the hardware specs i.e. a dual core proc,s'amoled plus,1080p video and true HDMI,this phone will be dead on arrival.

I didn't follow CES as much as I wanted to so I'm wondering in your opinions what is the most exciting phone coming in 2011? I just saw specs for the atrix and I'm impressed. I hate at&t but when it cones out on March I might have to go with it. I didn't see where sprint was getting anything. Anybody jumping on the attic in March? Thanks for the responses.

And yeah the atrix is pretty much what I expected the Nexus S to be. Gingerbread had no business being released on a rehashed galaxy s. They shoulda just pushed gingerbread to all n1 owners (which was the point of getting that phone in the first place.) And then got 2.4 out on the NS or whatever nexus it would've been if they would've waited. Perhaps a "Nexus Duo" or something since they didn't want a nexus 2

I wasn't aware that the numbers were this low. I would think that this would be something that Google would be concerned with because eventually this could hurt the growth of Android. Marketing is a powerful thing and if Apple and Microsoft are in some way able to get into the heads of the masses. You know how powerful marketing can be even when it's just trying to spread FUD. The company that I work for has BB as the "corporate standard" but because we purchased several other companies in the past year that standard has been loosened a bit because of the high number of iPhone users at the other company. There are only two of us in the IT Department that have Android and with what I see going on I still don't feel comfortable pushing Android. The first time there was an issue I know that my CIO would use it as the reason why we shouldn't use Android and that would be the end of that.

Exact copy of the GSM Nexus S except for the CDMA/EVDO/WIMAX
Fromg the google blog:
It features a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from everyday objects that have NFC tags.
In addition, today we’re excited to announce that Sprint customers will soon be able to take advantage of the full set of Google Voice features without changing or porting their number.

Because its a Google supported phone / Google dev phone. All software comes 100% from Google directly. Samsung doesn't touch the software. It will get almost all future updates until the hardware cant handle the software. The Nexus One, which is pretty damn old now, just recently got official Gingerbread, and will likely get Ice Cream.
Yea but what he meant is...
Thanks to the hardware similarities we wont be far behind them in updates so why pay all that money for basically the same phone w/o a keyboard when all these Beastly phones are about to be released it would be a waste to get hardware that is outdated by the time its even for sale 8)
I personally hate physical keyboards now. Mine is just wasted, unused bulk.
True Google software is worth it for me. Dual core CPU's aren't even close to being utilized in smartphones yet anyway. Not until apps/software are written to support them.
The Hummingbird can still hold its own.

Thats what i originally thought would be the case an ota update or something, if it does switch to lte it better be in my area!! lol
Even if they did that though, WiMax would still be up and running for at least another two years and some of that time would overlap with the LTE. Maybe after that they can have both the high and low bands for LTE.
So they are gonna take all the way till fall to wait to begin announcing it? How many years till they implement it then? my house misses wimax by like 2-3 houses...and its fairly frustrating...considering that the others already have it fully blanketed in 4g...
As for our phones working with LTE, I doubt it..I found no indication that it will work..heck from the looks of the specifications even 1x advanced and Rev B both won't work :/..unless they did some kind of custom modification...but there is nothing in the chip specs that make it seem like its capable...

I say when they get ready to launch LTE. Although, I would like to see an HTC version of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Not really into the whole stylus, nor 3D. I just want bigger, faster, more memory. Want to get fancy, include a optical, non-digital zoom for the camera.
I think ICS will make my decision for me. IF the OG EVO can get an AOSP ICS build (with or without WiMAX) I'm going to keep it until I see how Sprint's LTE rollout goes. I'm gonna tide myself over with a Windows 8 tablet when they launch...

Still a rumor of course, but the advertisement for their hopeful announcement at CES is awesome!
I love my Evo, but I've been waiting for this. LTE is just the icing on the cake. I imagined a Wimax version of the Nexus rather than an LTE one. Pretty cool.
They've already said the nexus may be available by the end of quarter 1; also, I love how the ad shows it at 1.5 GHz, when its 1.2Ghz.

I can't afford $500+ phones anymore so I have to do them when I sign a new contract. So I want the absolute latest thats available at the time..Not some 6 month old phone..
I dunno maybe I am being unreasonable..Might as well wait for the SGS3

They've already said the nexus may be available by the end of quarter 1; also, I love how the ad shows it at 1.5 GHz, when its 1.2Ghz.

The chip is stock at 1.5 GHz, they downclocked it when they put it into the GNex, all they have to do it let it run at stock, it's really not that uncommon.
I personally would probably be downclocking it to around 1Ghz myself just to save battery, even 1.2 seems like overkill to me.

Oh I know...I'm in electronics...but I figured Sprint might try 1.5 to entice people to buy it. And 1.5GHz is massive overkill, but great for gaming, ect.

Still a rumor of course, but the advertisement for their hopeful announcement at CES is awesome!
I love my Evo, but I've been waiting for this. LTE is just the icing on the cake. I imagined a Wimax version of the Nexus rather than an LTE one. Pretty cool.

Unknown why would u imagine a WiMax version when Sprint is eliminating WiMax and moving on to LTE?

Sprint will still be supporting Wimax until 2015

I think he meant more of a dual band, where it could be potentially changed via OTA, to get more people behind the nexus, because sprint KNOWS people want it.
