The Nexus Prime, AKA the Galaxy Nexus, AKA The DROID Nexus, still isn’t official yet. But based on what we can cobble together it’ll be a variant of Samsung’s Galaxy S II with a pure Android Ice Cream Sandwich experience, just like the Nexus One and Nexus S. A shadowy forum member has posted the list of apps coming from the Nexus Prime, and what it does and doesn’t include is fascinating.

First of all, there appears to be zero bloatware apps. None. No Blockbuster, no Skype, no annoying trial versions of Need For Speed. This is a Nexus phone to the core (if the list is real, of course) and almost every bit of software on it is straight from the Android gods at Google. Speaking of which, there are some exciting new apk files that Android enthusiasts will be salivating for until the Droid Prime’s release.

Among such familiar favorites as GenieWidget.apk and OneTimeInitializer.apk is “FaceLock.apk”, which would seem to indicate that Google is integrating its facial recognition software even earlier than expected. Also of note is “ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk”, probably the first step in integrating the Android mobile browser and the Chrome desktop browser, just like Google hinted last month. Infrastructure apps like “VZWAPNlib.apk” and ”VZWAPNService.apk” indicate that this is indeed a Verizon smartphone.

Here’s the full list of apps. Note that the /system/app folder isn’t necessarily the only place to store apk files, so the it may not be entirely complete:
