Sprint Galaxy Nexus signs to hit stores on the 15th

Sprint customers that covet the LTE Galaxy Nexus, your wait may finally be coming to an end. A tipster over at Phandroid has supplied photographic evidence of window posters advertising the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint, and they came marked “do not display before” date of April 15th.

We know the phone is coming soon – it’s already cleared the FCC, and both April 15th and the 22nd have figured prominently in rumors for the long-awaited launch of Google’s flagship Android handset for “the other U.S. CDMA network.” In a way these posters don’t clarify between the two, as the advertising could go up a week early in an attempt to stoke interest. Regardless, it looks like Sprint customers should see a launch either this weekend or next.

If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus, we recommend you exhale (breathing is good for you) but then go ahead and enjoy the visual confirmation that the Galaxy Nexus will grace your network of choice in the very near future:

Quad-core HTC One X on sale for $630 without a contract

The business of selling imported smartphones is pretty hot right now, as the US carriers are more stringent in their testing and approval phases, so the newest gadgets from Samsung and HTC, for example, come later here than in the rest of the world.

Daily Steals is at it again, with its one-day-only offering of an unlocked HTC One X with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor (the international GSM version) for $629.99. Shipping and handling will set you back another five bucks, but the end $635 price is a pretty good offer for what is probably the hottest Android handset on the market right now, if you can't wait until the dual-core One X version lands on AT&T.

The site recently had a one-day sale of the 16GB GSM Galaxy Nexus, so it is apparently fixated on juicy Android offerings - nothing wrong with that.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus Launch Rumors Look To New, Later Date

It's no secret that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, after making its international and Verizon LTE debuts, will be coming to Sprint and its new LTE network. Just when that's going to be, however, is one detail Sprint's been keeping from us all. All the latest rumors seem to be looking to a mid-April launch, with both the Galaxy Nexus and LG Viper, the other LTE model to kick-off Sprint's network, tipped for April 15. At least, that's what we had been hearing, but over the weekend a new leak arrived, suggesting that the Sprint Galaxy Nexus might have a slightly longer wait before it launches.

As far as visually convincing leaks go, this find leaves a lot to be desired. Just a basic word processor document, it does little to try and convince us it's an official internal publication. That said, if we're to have a little faith here, the leak suggests that the LG Viper will, in fact, launch on April 15 as we'd heard, but the Galaxy Nexus won't hit stores for another week after at, finally landing on April 22.

Sprint and HTC have an event planned for Wednesday, and while we don't expect to hear anything about the Nexus directly, Sprint may offer a little insight while discussing its general LTE launch plans.
