Nexus Prime passes WiFi certification

We’re pretty excited here at TA because we likely have a bit of Nexus Prime news on our hands. The Samsung GT-I9250 has just passed WiFi certification today. If the info on a recently leaked Samsung roadmap holds any truths, this is 99.9% the Nexus Prime. It’s coming people, we’re close. If you’ve been out of the Android loop recently, the new Nexus will have a Super AMOLED 1280×720 HD screen, feature Ice Cream Sandwich, and some sort of TI OMAP4 processor rumored to be a 1.5Ghz dual core. This will be the Android to own. Being a Verizon customer, I’ve been denied a Nexus One and Nexus S, but my hopes are high this time.

Nexus Prime Coming to Verizon?

There is no question that the Nexus Prime on Verizon would be AWESOME! There hasn’t been anything close to solid to suggest the Nexus will bless us with its presence on Verizon, but there has been some rumors to share.
It’s been tipped that a “Samsung Prime” device has been seen in the halls at Verizon. This device was also said to be shipping with Ice Cream Sandwich and rocking a 720p display. A separate source says Samsung is preparing to launch a device with a 720p display that’s size will be the largest on the market. This seems to tie in well with reports that Samsung is working on a 4.65-inch ICS phone though the Prime has been rumored at 4.5-inches.
It seems to make sense to me that Verizon should be the one to wield the wonder of the next Nexus device if they’ll allow its openness. As with all rumors, no one really knows for sure at this point. Maybe if we all band together and wish hard enough we’ll see  a 4G LTE, 720p, ICS Nexus on Verizon in October.
I’ll tell you what. If we get SOLID evidence of the Nexus Prime coming to Verizon, on that same day I will video myself smashing my Droid X in the parking lot and post it right here. What do you think about that? Will you join me?
