Galaxy Nexus Release Date Still Looks Good for December 15th

Published

The long, long, long wait for the Galaxy Nexus with 4G LTE on Verizon should be drawing to a close within 24 hours.

While some rumors swirled around last night that the Galaxy Nexus release date would be delayed again, possibly until December 22nd, but we have just heard that tomorrow is still the date planned for a Galaxy Nexus launch.

The date could still get changed by Verizon, if the carrier feels that more testing is required or if more time is needed to ready an over the air update for launch, but sources tell us that authorized retailers who don’t yet have the Galaxy Nexus in stock are expecting to receive shipments today — to sell on December 15th.

These retailers join Best Buy and a number of other retailers who have had the Galaxy Nexus in stock since last week, and have sold some devices early.

This date matches up with the Costco ad, which shows a Galaxy Nexus release on December 15th for $289 with an accessory bundle, and our earlier launch rumors from authorized retailers.

Adding to the possibility of a December 15th Galaxy Nexus release is the leak of the extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus. Thankfully, this extended battery option is still slim, and should work with the NFC chip in the Galaxy Nexus.

Of course, I can’t promise that the Galaxy Nexus release date is going to finally happen tomorrow, but Verizon is running out of time to hit a December launch and things look to be finally lining up. If you are looking forward to getting the Galaxy Nexus, you may want to mark off an hour to run to your local Verizon store to buy your Galaxy Nexus tomorrow morning.

    It is hard to imagine that Verizon will release the phone tomorrow when they have done no marketing whatsoever for this phone.  You would think they would have changed their web site by now or at least sent out e-mails to people that signed up for Galaxy Nexus information letting them know it will be available tomorrow.    

    I don’t think this phone will be out until January.  Who knows, it may evolve into another Bionic fiasco.

    No Marketing at all??? Are you kidding, by not saying anything and leaking possible release dates they have created more buzz than putting out flashy tv ads talking about how great this phone is. Unfortunately, I (and other) are beginning to wonder if there really is something wrong with this phone that keeps them from letting it go, so if you are listening Verizon/Samsung release this dang thing so we can see for ourselves if this phone is half the phone we all hope it is.

      Agreed; I’m wondering if Verizon is holding back because they are selling junk.

    This is such an irresponsible article. “Still looks good”? Seriously? This isn’t coming out tomorrow.
