			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sprint Nexus S 4G is now available for pre-order via Best Buy. You can head over to either Best Buy Mobile stores or online to place your pre-order. Pricing yet to be announced, but it appears that customers can pre-order Nexus S 4G with a $50 deposit. </p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/nexuss4g_bestbuy110321134010.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/nexuss4g_bestbuy110321134010.jpg" alt="" title="" width="500" height="558" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16498" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-16497"></span></p>
<p>The device will be identical with its T-Mobile Nexus S. The only physical changes that Samsung made is thickness and mass of it. Mainly was because of the installment of the new radios for CDMA and 4G WiMAX. Check out the press release below.</p>
