This would help the resale value of these devices because each device could be used on any US network.  No need to go hunting for a carrier specific version.  Smart move by Samsung.

To quote someone from Android central comments:

It has the tri-band support, but the other two LTE bands aren't turned on by Sprint. You can do this though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515798&highlight=msl.

I read that the tri-band capability is not activated out of the box and that you need to change the settings and get a code from customer care to activate it...

Thanks, Robert. I got the nexus 5 and quickly realized that it was not ready for prime time on Sprint's network yet. This article explains why. Keep up the great work.

Tri-band LTE or bust. I am not going to bother buying another phone on sprint that doesn't have tri-band LTE. If you don't have that, there's no way to take full advantage of the awesome network capabilities that are coming down the road.

Very exciting. The LTE era for Sprint is beginning. If they could only get from Manhattan, Kansas to Manhattan, NY...

The GNex is a great phone and this is a great deal at $200 (vs. $300 at Verizon) plus the $50 Google Wallet credit. That being said, I think the HTC Evo 4G LTE sounds like a better overall device (screen, camera, processor). All that being said, I think I'll wait to hear what Samsung is bringing when they have the next Galaxy event on May 3rd...

Great specs and looks like it'll be an amazing device. Just wish they kept more of the design of the One X.

I'm glad you guys are here to pick up the slack.

Great job breaking the story a few days ago.

Sounds like we'll get an announcement soon:

Great article. Another reason why Dan Hesse was so opposed to an acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T.
