Galaxy Nexus Release Date Pushed to December 15th on Verizon?

Posted by | 12/09/2011 | 94 Comments

The Galaxy Nexus release date has changed more often than a chameleon sitting on a color wheel.

Originally believed to launch today, December 9th, on the Verizon 4G LTE network, a brief outage earlier this week could be to blame for a delay. We had heard that the Galaxy Nexus would arrive on December 13th, but that date looks like it will pass by without a Galaxy Nexus release.

We have just heard from multiple sources that the Galaxy Nexus release date for Verizon has been the rescheduled for Thursday December 15th.

Galaxy Nexus Release Date

This new release date comes from multiple authorized Verizon retailers in different states. When one of our staff stopped in to ask about purchasing the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, the employee looked down at her screen and told him that the Galaxy Nexus should be available for purchase next Thursday, December 15th.

This is great news for the many users who have been waiting and waiting for what looks to be the best Android phone to arrive on Verizon this year.

The Galaxy Nexus has a 4.65″ HD curved display, 4G LTE connectivity, 32GB of Storage, Micro SD card Slot, NFC, 1GB RAM and a 1.2GHz dual core processor. The Galaxy Nexus will be the first phone to run Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, on Verizon’s fast 4G LTE network.

Check out a Hands on Video of the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, which shows the speed of the 4G LTE network.

Stay tuned for more Galaxy Nexus news.

    the author doesn’t even know the specs, how can this story be credible at all???

  2. [...] probably heard that the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus may have been pushed back to a December 15th release date. And even then, that release date is not set in stone as that date is merely a rumor and not an [...]

    Shibani Joshi on Fox Business (30 minutes ago)  showcasing the GN and said if you were in line to get a new phone, this is one worth waiting for. It will be out NEXT YEAR. Unbelievable!

    You bloggers don’t know any more about it than I do…

    Keep on guessing and we’ll keep on wishing.

    I thought it DIDNT have a MICRO SD CARD SLOT!!!
    Thats what EVERYBODY “ELSE” is saying, anyway.

    • LG says:

      All the “hands on” reviews I’ve read say no SD card and the phone has been knocked for it.  I don’t care honestly because I don’t see how the hell I’ll fill up 32GB.  If I do, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

    This thing needs to come out now! My original Droid is running about as fast as a three-legged goat in a swimming pool filled with peanut butter. If it doesn’t come out soon, I’ll get a Razer and return it when the Galaxy Nexus does come out.

  7. LG says:

    FWIW…went to my Verizon store here in Alabama today because I was testing the Razr and the Rezound to decide which one I should buy.  I was tired of the waiting game for the Nexus.  Anyway, an associate offered to help me and I told her well if she really wanted to help me, she could tell me when the Nexus will be for sale.  She said, “I can’t tell you”, and smiled.  I told her I expected that answer and then she leaned in toward me and said, “Look, I can tell you that it soing to be SOON.”  I asked how soon and she said before Christmas.  I then told her we were only 2 weeks out right now.  She then said that if she had to “guess” and winked at me, that it would be out by the 15th.  I put down the Razr and left thanking her.  She may be wrong, probably is, but what the hell, I’ve waited this long another week won’t hurt.  Besides I loved the Rezound and the Razr and couldn’t decide either way yet. 

    Came across this headline and thought I’d share this since it matches.  Nexus rumors…here we go again.

    FUCK YOU VERIZION!!!

    Frankly I for one am sick of the old “working out the kinks” lame a$$
    excuses that a lot of folks are pushing. The rest of the world is doing just fine with the nexus. Droves
    of planet dwellers are not rushing to return their “buggy” nexuses.
    Verizon is a habitual customer abuser. They announce the EXCITING
    impending release of a phone and then never say another word about it.
    WTF verizon. Don’t say anything, keep your greedy pie holes shut or keep
    us updated.

    Screw Verizon!  I have been with them for 12 years.  I want to buy a high end product from them and they can’t even communicate a release date.  Over them! They’ve screwed my account up, screwed my payments up, and screwed me over so many times.  Typical Verizon service.

  16. Mdfizer21 says:

    I was at a Verizon retailer tonight and was looking at the other phones because I was sick of waiting and they had a display model of the Galaxy Nexus and they said that it will be released next Thursday (12/15).  I felt pretty comfortable with that answer especially since they already had the dummy phone on display. 

  17. mstumbo says:

    If AT&T had just a little bit better network……Verizon is going down hill fast! Service in their stores is starting to suck…..I used to love these guys.  At this point I just want the GS2 or the Note. Used to care….waited for months for the GS2  Verizon killed that dream…..forget this crap…waiting for quad-core!

    • Justinin says:

      Forgot quad phones. Just get the stratosphere. Better specs and way faster than the nexus.

      • Anonymous says:

        Except it has all that crapware loaded on it. Nexus is the only un-crapped-upon phone, although I expect VZ to mess that up too.

  18. Justinin says:

    F**k this phone, I jumped to the next best thing. Samsung stratosphere !!!!!!!! Way better phone.

    • Anonymous says:

      I don’t think stratosphere is better, and I believe when you say f__k this phone, you mean f__k Verizon.
