Here's why I think it could be possible, quote from TIs press release on the 4470.

"Customers designing ultrathin laptops, tablets or smartphones around previously released OMAP 4 processors gain the added benefit of pin-to-pin hardware and software compatibility for maximum re-use and faster time-to-market."

This guy definitely knows what he's talking about. /s

I love how people are so confident with things they know absolutely nothing about. Unless you're a sprint employee (my apologies if you are) you shouldn't make such asinine statements. Nobody knows if the sprint nexus will be the same as the Verizon one. One thing we know is that the radio is going to be different, sprint doesn't operate on the 700mhz spectrum, that's what verizon uses for their LTE. Maybe the sprint radio wont work on the omap 4460 but will on the 4470, just like how the Galaxy note wont run on exynos and the reason why it has a snapdragon on Att. Just like the Galaxy S 2 uses a snapdragon on T-mobile. Mother of god, our nexus is gonna have snapdragon isn't it?

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. But some Soc's don't work with some radios, so it's a possibility that the sprint nexus might have a different processor. Also, not all nexus s's were the same, some ditched SMOLED for Super clear LCD in some markets. All I'm trying to explain to you is that you have no idea what google's plans are, you have no idea what sprint want's for their nexus.

And you are wrong on the screen the reason for the switch is there wasn't enough of smoled to go around. I really doubt that Google would take the nexus something they build and test in house with samsung all year and pretty much scrap the current model for new CPU gpu camera etc I don't see it. Guess it really doesn't matter bye the time sprint gets it the phone is all ready dead. The next nexus will b here in Oct. B foolish to buy a phone knowing next nexus is coming up.
