Sprint Galaxy Nexus Registration Page Goes Live

A Sprint-bound Google Galaxy Nexus was hinted in a couple of ads prior to CES and we quickly found out from the carrier itself that the "pure Android" is expected to land on the Now Network. 

If you are interested in Ice Cream Sanwich running on the Samsung-made Galaxy Nexus on Sprint's LTE network you can now follow the source link below and register to get information about the device. Meanwhile you can check out our hands-on with the Sprint GNex which will have 32GB of internal memory and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. 

Sprint LTE Galaxy Nexus Confirmed for 32GB

Yesterday brought us news of Sprint's initial foray into LTE service, with plans to offer its first subscribers using the network the choice between LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Nexus or LG Viper smartphones. At the time, we noticed many of you seemed concerned over the Sprint Galaxy Nexus's storage capacity, which Sprint was reporting at just 16GB. Lucky news for those of you with large app or media collections, as Sprint has now confirmed that the figure it earlier posted was inaccurate. 

Indeed, the Galaxy Nexus as it finds its way to Sprint will offer the phone's full 32GB capacity. Seeing as the phone has no microSD slot for storage expansion, making sure the phone has enough for your needs is an important pre-purchase consideration. Some of you were speculating when we were still wondering if the 16GB figure was accurate whether or not the decreased capacity might mean Samsung was finally adding such a microSD slot, after all. That would have been neat to see, if not a little unprecedented, but it's no longer something that seems in the cards. 

T-Mobile Introduces the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

The other day we got wind of T-Mobile's possible next candidate to the line-up, the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and the carrier just officially announced the phone, expected to be available later this year.

The main feature here is the radio capable of 4G (HSPA+42) speeds, built in basically a housing that is representative of a carrier version for the Galaxy S line. Inside the plastic you'll find a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor clocking at 1.5GHz, and a Super AMOLED touch screen. Aside from Android being the platform, though not specified which iteration (safe to thingGingerbread though), there will also be a variety of pre-loaded entertainment features for movies, TV shows, games, music and more.

That's just about everything T-Mobile is sharing at the moment, without any exact pricing or availability. However, if you are interested, you can sign-up to receive information from T-Mobile as per when the phone will land. 

Lenovo Announces K800, World's First Intel-Based Smartphone

While Intel and Motorola Mobility made sure the world found out about their new, multi-year-multi-device partnership to deliver Intel-based Android devices, Chinese phone-maker Lenovo announced the K800, the world's first Intel-based smartphone.

The Lenovo K800 brings a 4.5-inch 720p display, a 1.6GHz Intel processor and an eight-megapixel main camera. The Intel chip inside the phone is the Z2460, formerly referred to as the "Medfield", aided by the Intel XMM 6260 platform chip in order to offer support for HSPA+ networks. Android is the platform of choice with Lenovo's own LeOS custom UI on top of it and the carrier will be China Mobile in the second quarter of the year. There's no information about pricing or a global availability. 

Samsung Epic 4G CyanogenMod 7 Gets Functional WiMAX

 

Right as we wrapped-up 2011, we caught wind of an important milestone for the Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint. After months and months of spotty, unofficial support, the Android finally earned itself an official release of CyanogenMod 7. While that was fantastic news for owners of the QWERTY slider, there were still several problems remaining with the build, including a pretty major one for most users: broken WiMAX support. Still, it was progress, and we were happy to see it released, even in that state. Now, just a few days later, WiMAX has already been fixed.

The important thing is that 4G is now working, even if there are (surprise, surprise) some more glitches remaining. For instance, you won't be able to use the platform's built-in tethering support while connected over WiMAX, and will have to turn to an external app for that functionality. Additionally, the widget you use to enable and disable WiMAX isn't working.

Beyond WiMAX support, this new release also fixes some of the problems with WiFi hotspots that were affecting earlier builds. Check out the downloads you'll need and installation instructions through the Source link below.
