We knew the Nexus S 4G was coming to Sprint, and as planned, the phone has arrived. The Nexus S 4G from Sprint is essentially the same phone we reviewed back in March, but with a WiMAX chip and EVDO connectivity. The Nexus S 4G is also the first phone to run Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread.
As you may recall, key specs for the Nexus S 4G include a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, 16GB of built in memory, 4-inch Contour Display, Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, Near Field Communication (NFC) support, and a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera and camcorder and front-facing VGA camera.
You can pick up the Nexus S 4G from Sprint for $199.99 after discounts and with a contract. Best Buy is also offering the phone with an additional discount to bring the total down to $149.99 for new customers.
