Sprint’s first LTE phone is here, and what better device to hold that crown than Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus? Sure, the device has been out for quite some time on Verizon — and the pastures may be greener on the other side, too — but Sprint has grand plans to stake its own claim in the

A phone isn’t much good if it can’t connect to a network and, unfortunately, that’s been the case with some Galaxy Nexus devices on Sprint. If you remember, soon after the Galaxy Nexus launched, reports began surfacing on Sprint forums complaining that the handset was having issues connecting to the carrier’s 3G network. So in

It sounds like Sprint’s iteration of the Galaxy Nexus has run into a snag. Reports on the carrier’s community forums suggest the device is awash with problems connecting to the carrier’s 3G network, though not everyone is experiencing the issue. Wi-Fi still apparently works on devices that can’t connect to Sprint’s 3G, but that isn’t

As a leaked MAP document recently suggested, Verizon on Monday officially made its on-contract price of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus $100 cheaper. I hope none of our readers picked up the device yesterday. The Galaxy Nexus, which was the first Android 4.0 phone to market, now runs for $199.99 with a two-year contract. At that price-point,

In what is likely a move to steal Sprint’s thunder, it looks as though Verizon is preparing to drop the price of its Galaxy Nexus the day after the Now Network’s iteration debuts on April 22. A MAP (minimum advertised price) acquired by Droid-Life reflects the rumored price reduction, which Verizon will reportedly drop to

If you hesitated to pre-order Sprint’s upcoming Galaxy Nexus, the opportunity has passed. According to the carrier’s Galaxy Nexus page, all “pre-order inventory has been spoken for.” And it only took three days after being announced. Sprint encourages folks to check back on April 22 when the handset officially launches nationally. As a quick refresher,

Customers anticipating the launch of the HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint may only have one more month to wait until the device hits. According to PhoneDog’s anonymous source, folks will want to circle Friday, May 18 as EVO 4G LTE launch day. The report acknowledges the date is merely a rumor, saying that Sprint

A new report from Jefferies suggests that Verizon and AT&T both regularly see a drop in phone sales just before and after a new iPhone launches. The trends are clearly visible in the chart above. Note the sharp decline in sales before the iPhone 3G launch on July 11th, 2008, for example, and the decline

In addition to launching its own variant of the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it sounds as though Sprint has plans to bring another LTE-equipped device to market, dubbed the LG Fury. In coursework acquired by Engadget, Sprint employees are given explicit instructions on how to enable LTE on the as-of-yet unannounced LG device. No

It can be difficult at times to be an Android fan because there are so many devices saturating the market. We chimed in on the subject a few months back, but our tune is slowly changing. There are currently more flagship Android devices than we know what to do with: the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy

According to Canaccord Genuity analyst Mike Walkley, Apple’s iPhone 4S remained the top selling smartphone in the U.S. through last month, continuing its dominance since it was released last October. Walkley and his team found that the iPhone 4S was the best-selling smartphone at Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint in March, while Samsung remained a

Things have been increasingly moving away from Flash toward HTML5. (“Things” here includes stuff like funny cat videos, games, apps and other interactive or motion-based content. Basically, the sexy, splashy stuff.) For companies, the cross-platform development of HTML5 is a no-brainer. For end users, it would give them a smoother experience without so many crashes,

Asus will launch a Windows Phone 7 device when the company is ready. The handset maker has previously dedicated itself to introducing Android tablets and phones, with the latest being its PadFone at Mobile World Congress (a TechnoBuffalo favorite). But Asus wants to expand its reach, “when [they] think it is the right time.” Speaking

Just how loyal are you? If you’ve been a longtime Verizon faithful and are eligible for an upgrade, a nice little reward may be headed your way. Under the carrier’s loyalty program, Verizon is now offering customers a free 4G LTE smartphone with a two-year agreement. Choices include the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Droid Razr

It looks like HTC’s upcoming Tegra 3 equipped smartphone will have competition at this year’s Mobile World Congress. According to MoDaCo‘s “secret source ,” LG is aiming to give HTC a run for its money by unveiling a quad-core device of it’s own, known as the LG X3, something that was hinted at back in

Apple has requested a new U.S, Preliminary Injunction against Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, 9 to 5 Google reports. And the patent wars rage on, and on, and on. The latest request was filed in a U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Thursday. This time, Apple is looking for an injunction for four

If a sexy smartphone dressed all in white gets you excited, then February has some treats in store for you. In addition to the white Nokia Lumia 800, which is set to make its debut in Europe by the end of this month, we’re also set to see a white Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the U.K.

Verizon Wireless is ringing in the new year by flipping the LTE switch in five new markets across the nation. Verizon’s LTE rollout happened at a furious pace in 2011, with over 200 million subscribers reached in 190 different markets; that tally is now up to 195, with many more sure to come. If you’re

Having suggested just this morning that maybe we’ve seen enough iterations of Samsung’s popular Galaxy S II handset, the Korean company is set to roll out another one. It’s coming to the U.K. and on the inside it’ll be identical to the original Galaxy S II. But on the outside, it’ll be bright pink. It’s

If you’ve had your eye on the Galaxy Nexus, but held out because of the device’s color, this news is for you. Shots have appeared on Italy-based AndroidHD Blog, showing off the Nexus‘ fancy new white coat, and it looks pretty awesome. There are no other visual differences over the “titanium silver” offering (other than

It seems Samsung’s new Galaxy Nexus won’t be the last of its devices to go white. The Korean company’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 tablets have been spotted in Vietnam not only with white backs, but with white fronts as well. While the device already comes in black and white variations, the front bezel

Fresh off Sprint’s announcement that the LG Viper will be one of two devices to get first crack at the Now Network’s new 4G LTE network, specs have leaked for the upcoming device. Much of what’s revealed has already been pegged down by various sources, as shown in an article we ran a few days

It looks like those leaked ads from last week were correct and Sprint is going forward with its 4G LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.  An image appeared on the carriers 4G LTE landing page this morning.  No word as of yet on what the release date will be. We’ll bring you more as

I have a weakness for white devices. I don’t know whether it’s due to a subconscious obsession with minimalism and purity or just a strong effeminate side, but I just can’t get enough of them. I’m really excited, then, for Samsung’s white Galaxy Nexus, which will be available in the U.K. from next month. The

When the Samsung Galaxy Note was announced a few months back, many wondered whether it was a phone, tablet or something we’d haven’t even heard of. At 5.3-inches of screen, the device absolutely towers over smartphones currently on the market. We got a brief hands-on in September and came away impressed despite its massive size.
