Sprint, Best Buy Now Selling Samsung Nexus S 4G – WiMAX Customers, Get Ready To Experience Stock Gingerbread

Tweet

Sprint customers hungry for vanilla Gingerbread can stop holding their breaths now – the Nexus S 4G just went on sale. Sprint will charge you $199.99 for the Samsung-made device, but if you’re looking for the best bargain in town, you’ll want to visit Best Buy – they’re selling it for just $149.99 with a new two-year contract. BB’s upgrade price is still $199.99, but at least free shipping is offered by both retailers (ETA: 5/11-5/14 at Best Buy; 2-5 business days at Sprint).
As a reminder, this stock Android machine comes loaded with:

• 4-inch Super AMOLED Contour display with a WVGA (800×480) resolution
• WiMAX connectivity
• 1GHz Hummingbird processor
• 512MB of RAM
• 16GB of internal memory

All in all, the handset isn’t exactly a spring chicken in terms of specs, but the software is what really matters – and just like T-Mobile’s version of the phone, the NS 4G delivers on that front with stock Android 2.3 and Google Voice integration. And with Google I/O coming up in just a few days, who wouldn’t want to own a device renowned for getting software updates first?
