Official: Verizon Galaxy Nexus December 15th for $299
Perhaps the folks at Verizon have a sick sense of humor; they enjoy letting things hang out there until the last possible minute. Verizon announced just minutes ago that the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be available tomorrow, December 15th for $299 on-contract. This comes after multiple rumors of delays and more speculation than you can shake a phone at.
The Galaxy Nexus is the newest in Google’s line of stock flagship phones. This iteration has a stunning 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD screen at 1280x720, a 1.2GHz dual-core OMAP processor, and a 5MP camera. The Verizon version differs from the international HSPA+ edition in that it has an LTE 4G radio and 32GB of internal storage. Also, it is actually for sale in America.
The Galaxy Nexus is Google’s Android 4.0 launch device, which brings a number of new features like face unlock, on-screen buttons, and a revamped user interface. Anyone planning to pick one up tomorrow?

Bell Canada has it listed for $159 on a 3 year contract. I wonder if they will update that..

Wow, seems rather sudden some delayed for so long. Too random for a flagship phone if you ask me. To be honest with you, I do not think Verizon takes their Droid users very seriously anymore. Come on, $300 and super delayed? They could at least have sold it for $200 after what just happened. I do not think I will buy a verizon-anything in the future. Their phones along with their plans are getting waaay too expensive. Definitely not worth the asking price.

Please dont confuse the Nexus for a Droid.
Its not a Droid, actually its quite the opposite.

Oh, they are the same really. They both run Google's mobile OS which is Android. The only real difference is that one offers a pure vanilla experience while the other is running Motoblur. Other than that they both have almost the same exact state-of-the-art hardware and require expensive data packages. That $300 asking price has got to go.

In Verizon's defense, they only ever officially told the public that it would be available by the end of the year. It was all of the rumors based on unsubstantiated information which led to the "delays" perceived by the public.

You are right... But I bet you, they would never do this to the other competition. Verizon will proudly remind the customers before the launch date that the iPhone will be soon released. Heck, I get the reminder each and every time I log in to pay.

Perception can be a nightmare to PR. VZW borked this release, pure and simple.
