Well, if you've been thirsting for some G-Nex love on Sprint's network, the wait might be shorter than you think. Thanks to our friends over at Phandroid, they've spotted some signage at one of the Sprint store locations for the up and coming Google experience device. Question is, will the device come with LTE? If Sprint knows what's best for their customers, it sure better. The sign makes no mention of LTE, a feature you'd think a carrier would want to tout, if indeed it's on board. And even if it is on-board, not many of you will benefit much from it. Unless you're in the Atlanta, Houston, Kansas City, San Antonio or Baltimore area don't count on it. According to the signs, we should see a launch this Sunday, April 15th. The other question is, does one get this device over the HTC Evo 4G LTE? What makes the decision difficult is deciding whether to go with an LTE-less device but get timely updates from Google being a pure stock ICS device, or go with the high spec'd Evo 4G LTE which is LTE ready but could be left in the dust for while in the update dept, given HTC's track record for not updating a device in a timely manner. The only other device I could see making this decision even harder, would be if Sprint sprang the deadly trio by tossing the rumored Galaxy Note on their network. Hot damn, wouldn't that be something? Feel free to toss your thoughts in the comments section below.

I would be more excited if the GNex had better accessories like docks and cradled….. But hell, it is not like sprint has anything better. If I get the gnex now I will likely be due for another upgrade by the time they finally get the S3.
Sprint and LTE….what a joke. 5 cities including the little town in Ill. that just got switched on is pathetic. Been with Sprint since ’99 and their service is horrible. Have the family plan with 2 HTC EVO 4G and the Galaxy S2 E4GT and still have no 4G in Phoenix but wait Waco, Tx has it. Oh yeah never will because Sprint is done with WiMax.
Sprint is pathetic.
I work at sprint. The nexus is going to ship with the radio for lte turned off but it’s easy to turn on in the wireless networks settings. The network is just starting to roll out so yeah.
Hey bro u say u work for sprint …if ur at liberty to talk about it do u know if sprint will get to galaxy note or journal or whatever there calling it?
Funny, I heard that same story when Sprint rolled out the HTC EVO 4G. 4G will be in Phoenix in 3 months……. That was two years ago, and I still have no 4G! Paid extra for 4G that I never got to use!
I’m not falling for the same story, I’m going to Verizon!
The Galaxy Nexus will be LTE just as well as the new EVO I wish people would get that right …the real question is do u live in one of the first to get LTE areas …and seeing as I do and cuz I’m a Google fan boy G-NEX here I come lol ….just a little advice to thoes of you who will have to wait until nearly 2014 I wouldn’t waste money on a sprint lte device until I ear they turned it on in my area
