Yesterday saw quite a few device launches, but for Sprint customers, only two really mattered. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the LG Viper 4G LTE made their debut on Sprint yesterday and while the Viper is a quality device at $100 less than the Galaxy Nexus, it was the Nexus and its Ice Cream Sandwich that had Sprint customers clamoring.

If you’re a Sprint customer looking to pick one of these new 4G LTE devices up, you’ll have to make a choice between:
