Price & Availability
The Sprint branded Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset’s launch date and price tag details have yet to be finalized officially.
We will update with the original high-quality press shots, exact price info and the release date of the Sprint branded Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset as soon as we get more official updates.
With all of the factual errors in this spec sheet, I can’t really trust anything in this article.
It would be nice to know if this information is coming from a leak or an official press release, especially since so much flies in the face of what has been officially announced.
What is your source? I agree with Dan, highly incredible.
