The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be coming to Sprint's network on April 22, Sprint announced today. The phone will be able to take advantage of Sprint's nascent 4G LTE network, and unlike the Verizon version of the phone, Sprint's Galaxy Nexus will fully support Google Wallet.

Verizon was the first network to carry the flagship Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phone, but it has fought Google behind the scenes over whether the phone would be able to use its NFC technology for Google Wallet. Ultimately, Verizon declared it wouldn't support the feature, crippling the Galaxy Nexus' ability to be a paragon of Google's mobile virtues. Sprint is the only network to support Google Wallet in the U.S.

4G LTE coverage for Sprint has only been announced for a handful of cities so far, and the company plans to complete its expansion by the end of 2013.

The Galaxy Nexus will be priced at $199.99 with a two-year contract, $100 less than on Verizon. Preorders for the phone open today, and the phone will officially arrive on Sprint April 22.
