Sprint Galaxy Nexus review
Your Gadget and Tech News Source
Google itself may have thrown the pricing situation out of whack by offering up a contract-free GSM version of Samsung‘s Galaxy Nexus for just $399, but those adhering to Sprint’s plans can’t make use of that, anyway. The other CDMA / LTE-infused Galaxy Nexus is now shipping from Sprint, several months ahead of its first LTE rollout . $199.99 on a two-year contract nets you a device, while you can snag one for $549.99 sans any strings.

Remember CES? It feels like an age since Sprint went official with the Google flagship, but now it’s finally — almost — here.

Sprint confirms Galaxy Nexus release date: coming April 22nd for $200, preorders open now
Samsung must be keenly aware that the Galaxy Nexus’ battery life takes a hit on Verizon’s LTE network: for a limited time, the outfit’s throwing in a free 2,100mAh extended battery for first-time buyers (sorry, current Nexus owners are out of luck). To take advantage of the promotion, you’ll have to purchase it through Samsung Direct (link below), which means you’ll be paying $300 for the device and agreeing to a two-year contract

The Samsung SPH-L700. It may sound like a silly combination of letters and numbers, but it just so happens to be the model number for Sprint’s version of the Galaxy Nexus — and it’s officially made it through the prying eye of the FCC, still on track for a launch in the first half of 2012. It sports LTE band 25, which is the 1900MHz flavor Sprint has chosen to use when it launches its take on the next-gen network in the near future

When it rains it pours. Hot on the heels of last week’s fabulous white Nokia N9 , we just received Samsung‘s freshly minted “chic white” Galaxy Nexus thanks to our friends at Negri Electronics . This handsome phone — which is spec-wise identical to the HSPA+ version we reviewed last year — sheds the default gunmetal gray skin for a lovely satin white finish

So far, while not all of Google’s aims to change the phone business with its Nexus brand program there may have been achieved, it has created some admirable devices in cooperation with HTC and Samsung — way to pass on that one Sony Ericsson — and according to Bloomberg , it may try the same with LG for TVs. As product manager Rishi Chandra mentioned in an interview with us , the next focus for Google TV will likely center around increasing its ability to personalize the user experience and further enhance content discovery, and the usual anonymous sources indicate LG could get first crack at it later this year to show others what is possible.

Sufficiently enamored with Samsung’s Galaxy S III that you’ve got to have one in the US before anyone else, and you don’t want it sullied by carrier customizations in the trip across the Pacific?

We can’t be certain as to how many units of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have made it out of customs thus far, but it appears the number is high enough for Sprint to officially set a date for shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered it online. A Sprint representative reached out to us to share the company’s statement from this afternoon that customers should expect to receive their valuable treasure “on or around” May 24th. We’re not in love with the “around” terminology, but this could simply be due to a high amount of demand.

(Credit: Pentax) I have to admit: the $900 Pentax K-30 dSLR sounds like a pretty promising replacement for the K-r. Rugged on the outside with the potential for the same excellent photo quality as the K-01 mirrorless ILC, claimed faster autofocus performance than the already fast K-5, and a 100 percent coverage viewfinder that you usually only see in more expensive models all add up to a possibly great start to the Pentax-Ricoh era. Though it’s not “durable” in the same sense as bodies like the Nikon D4 or Canon EOS-1D X , with parts designed to withstand heavy photographic abuse, the K-30 offers weather-and-dust resistance, with claims of usability down to 14 degrees (most cameras only guarantee down to 32 degrees); that said, Pentax makes no claims about battery life at those temperatures.

House After eight seasons, the run of Gregory House MD comes to an end on Fox tonight with a double episode. While we’ll miss Hugh Laurie fumbling around on our American TV screens every week, it definitely felt like time for the series to come to an end. We’ll see how Wilson’s cancer diagnosis wraps up and if any other old characters stop by after Thirteen popped up last week, although we will avoid throwing back a Vicodin just for old time’s sake.

Never one to focus exclusively on the very latest hardware , a new mod has brought an 6502 microprocessor to a Minecraft world near you. The system is made from three separate cubes, representing the CPU, monitor and disk drive, respectively, all connected by ribbon cables. Part of pre-release 5 of the RedPower 2 mod, programmer Eloraam has also thrown in pumps and solar panels to keep crafters busy — you’re no longer limited to light switches
