I just came out the radio shack & the rep tolds me the nexus prime was coming out for verizon not sprint! This Sucks the nexus prime should come out for all
carriers if this is true then its Galaxy S 2 for me
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Sprint would be stupid not to carry it. I highly highly doubt Verizon will be the only CDMA carrier with it. The only reason they are speculating is because someone saw a FCC doc specing out LTE radio and not a WiMax version.
I hope this the case I never had a nexus so that's what I wanted but if sprint doesn't get it which would suck if google wants to defeat apple Iphone they need to push it out to all the carriers not just one & the iPhone coming to sprint please google Nexus Prime to sprint to help the underdog not the big bad verizon & there Expensive plans with caps!!

I doubt it would just switch to Verizon maybe they add it to Verizon but not remove from sprint.

I agree 100% with this. I think they're going to put it out for almost all carriers to really compete with the iPhone. I think Google and Sprint are becoming quite close, and it would be a shame if they didn't release it on Sprint's network.
Besides, why trust a regular employee?

Why would they release a nexus device as an iphone killer. Its meant as a test and dev handset, not a phone so easy an iphone user could deal with it.

You never know if some sort of contract expired between the nexus and sprint.. after all the year 2012 is creeping on us..
If it drops for VZW, I may seriously consider switching to Big Red. Not just because of the phone, but the crappy Sprint network: after today's aftershocks due to VA earthquake, I got busy signal on Sprint (and T-mo prepaid, for that matter) but after flipping over to VZW using RoamControl got through easily
Didn't Sprint announce that they are going to be going the LTE route? Also has the maker of the nexus prime even been confirmed yet?

Confirmed? No. Strongly suggested with a decent amount of backup, mainly the screen? Yes, Samsung.
But, it's all just rumor for now. Even the phone as a whole. Release date has been tabbed from October to Thanksgiving to December. No one has given a firm month, let alone real date.
I'm really hoping for October, just so I don't have to have the SGS2 staring me in the face yelling "GET ME, GET ME" for more than a month. A month I can handle...three, I'm not so sure.

Guys when the Nexus Prime was said to be coming to Verizon, did you guys ever think they just meant it would be coming to Verizon AS WELL AS the other carriers Nexus has been on. Besides, even if Verizon sold it first, I'm POSITIVE Sprint, AT&T, and most likely T-Mobile since they've had all the Nexuses will release the Nexus Prime later on.

Sounds promising, but I'm not going to hold my breath for anything until the actual announcement. My EVO isn't even 6 months old yet, but if they come out with something that blows my mind, I'll probably pay retail for a new handset.

Google wouldn't release a cdma/lte phone(takes much longer time and different parts.. just take a look at wimax nexus s) first unless Verizon paid a ton of dough for exclusiveness. The hspa+ version is being released soon in the UK, so at the very least, it will be for tmobile unlocked. I bet it will go farther and subsidized too. Isn't the Verizon one just strong speculation too(given they have the moto razr)? FCC report has one confirmed with tmo bands as well. Probably not gonna be 42mbps though.

NO the Verizon exclusivity for the time being is NOT speculation. It was confirmed on Samsung's Facebook by "Samsung Janel" last week, or maybe it was the week prior.
She confirmed for the time being Galaxy Nexus is a Verizon exclusive. How much more proof do you guys want? It came straight from Samsung.

Exclusive in the US, for now. It will be released in Europe around the same time Verizon gets it, so you will be able to import it if you want, but I would guess it will be on the other US carriers. Maybe Verizon gets a month, maybe three but if Google wants to sell this phone they wont leave it on Verizon for too long. I personally will wait and see but not too long, I will just import it if I have to.

I have a feeling that many of us vibrant users will want to import an intl version that will work with t-mo.. but I haven't been able to find the verified hardware specs for the UK version yet. Intl phones always seem to get better and faster updates, so as a google phone I imagine it would be even better.
I wonder if we could do a group-buy type thing if enough here were willing to import?
It may not release officially from Tmobile but it has their hspa+ bands, so u could easily buy it unlocked and use it for Tmobile, which is what I'm definitely doing and can't frickin wait!

I thought it only has the slower edge bands?!? If the 4g bands were supported I'd consider an import at the right price.
Verizon increases data cap to 4GB!!!!!
Nexus on Verizon 4G LTE with 4GB data cap should work out well.
My wife and I both have Epics, but she's dropped hers enough times now that the screen is totally cracked and it will need to be replaced... Rather than pay to repair it, I'd rather replace it... But with what? What's the best thing since sliced cheese that's available (or will be available shortly) for Sprint? Looking at the current stock of available Sprint phones, I might be inclined to go with the Galaxy S II / Epic 4G Touch if it weren't for the fact that I'm so unhappy with Samsung's dismal support for the Epic...
So what does everyone recommend? Is there something coming out just over the horizon that we should hold out for?
If you need something now, nothing.
But if you can wait a bit, the galaxy nexus should be coming to sprint.
The gs2 has better specs (sans screen) but the nexus is guaranteed to get updates unlike our epics

The article basically explains that if you have had your phone for longer than 9 months, you can "upgrade now" for a slightly higher price. For example, I will have had my Epic for 18 months as of March, meaning I will only have to pay $19 more than the original upgrade fee, and can get a new phone 4 months earlier than what I originally intended to do.
The deal only lasts until April 14 of this year, so if you're willing to spend an extra $20, you can get a new phone today (or next month, assuming you had your phone in September)!
I'm guessing they're trying to empty inventory of epic touch, photon, etc before the summer's new phones hit.
