Sprint users seem to be clamoring for Galaxy Nexus as pre-sale inventory sells out
It looks like Sprint users were really eager to guarantee themselves a Galaxy Nexus at launch. Trying to head to Sprint’s pre-order page will only bring up a message informing users that Sprint has sold out of their pre-sale inventory, a proud message to display, I’m sure. The device, due April 22nd, has only been available for pre-order for three days.
Those wondering if they’ll be out of luck on the 22nd shouldn’t put their heads down in disappointment just yet. Many third-party retailers will have stock available, and Sprint corporate stores’ inventory may not be counted in online inventory for pre-sale. There may also be online stock reserved for those who didn’t pre-order.If you’re not feeling confident, give a few stores, Sprint or otherwise, a ring and see what’s going on.
So I guess the point of the story is that the Galaxy Nexus looks poised to do well on the Now Network, and its performance (and that of its predecessor) should guarantee continued support of this line by Sprint.This milestone is especially important for Sprint as the Galaxy Nexus will be the pioneer device for their upcoming 4G LTE network.
Of course, there’s the possibility that Sprint didn’t order as many devices as, say, an EVO launch would call for, though considering that this will be Sprint’s first LTE phone I highly doubt they treated it lightly. Were you able to get in on this opportunity before it evaporated?
