Oops! Sprint's mobile site confuses an LG phone for the Samsung GALAXY Nexus
Share:
We wonder then, if Sprint has the same layers of protection for its mobile site that ESPN mobile had a few months ago. You might have heard about the now fired rogue editor for the sports site, whom insulted hundreds of millions of Chinese in a misguided headline about Knicks guard Jeremy Lin.
The nation's third largest carrier had a picture of an LG phone and was calling it the Samsung GALAXY Nexus. Even a cursory look at the two models would reveal that they are not that similar. Besides, the LG model appeared to have Android 2.3 installed while every stock photograph of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus shows off the Ice Cream Sandwich UI. The good news is that Sprint's desktop site had the correct picture all along, and Sprint has already made the correction.
As we mentioned earlier today, you can now pre-order the Sprint variant of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus with the launch now expected for April 22nd. The price is $199.99 with your signature on the dotted line of a two-year pact.

This article is a complete waste of time. Whoever wrote it should go back to journalism school. We all know the device pictured is the lg viper, which launches the same day as the nexus. This was obviously a mix up. No big deal.

This is unfortunately commonplace for Sprint. I swear I know their phones better than their PR people do... (Dan Hesse, if your reading this, I will take the job as head of marketing)
