We finally got our hands at the elusive Samsung Nexus S 4G for Sprint at CTIA here today and it’s ordinarily what you’d expect: a Nexus S with its GSM / HSPA radio swapped for a collection of Sprint-compatible CDMA / EV-DO and WiMAX radios. While the Nexus S 4G lacks a SIM slot, it’s actually 0.3mm thicker than the Nexus S — that’s the thickness of a business card, and is incomprehensible for all practical purposes. The telephone also incorporates a 4G signal indicator inside the status bar, in addition to a 4G sub-menu within the wireless settings. Our demo unit was running Android 2.3.4 (!) — a version we haven’t yet come upon — but we were told that neither the hardware nor the software are final at this point. So don’t be surprised if the production model receives a couple of tweaks before launch. Perhaps a Sprint logo? Benefit from the gallery below, and hop past the break for our hands-on video.
