"We just got confirmation from Samsung that the Galaxy Nexus will launch on Verizon in December instead."

Aha! No mention of which year!

"Samsung gave no reason for the apparent delay in what was originally supposed to be a November launch "

Possibly trying to fix the volume bug? Lets hope so... before millions more people have problematic phones.

Who cares about Verizon, lets go Sprint get this thing.

Uh.. Verizon is quite a quality carrier, and AT&T has plenty of bells and whistles, and they have NEVER officially sold the Nexus line. Only Best Buy / Google direct will sell you a Nexus S 9020A that works on ATT 3G.
At any rate, it is quite surprising to me they ditched T-Mobile for the initial launch, given that Verizon is a CDMA carrier and generally goes against the grain with the GSM standard the EU is trying to push, but at this point Verizon has the largest Android following in the US compared to any one carrier, so perhaps it shouldn't be all that surprising.

Don't want it. Why couldn't the RAZR been released with ICS? Ugh.

It was of course because steve jobs died.. not because they weren't ready.. surely not..

The volume bug only causes issues on the 900Mhz band used for 2G coverage in Europe. As far as I know, no network in the United States uses this band, so the volume issue shouldn't be problem in the U.S.

I think they fix all the issues on the phone before US launch...

 

[alyoshka]

Hmmmmmm........... Still stuck.....?????????

 

[Goldengoose]

Been the first in a long time the UK got something before the US.

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]On verizon suck really, AT&T gets the shaft wtf, Was looking forward to this phone and now butkiss![/citation]

well at least the phone will be released fist on a cell network that's actually stable

 

[zak_mckraken]

I hope it will be released in Canada at the same date, or at least not too long after.

BTW, I love how the author of the article got thumbed down into oblivion! I guess this means that people do use 2G at 900Mhz somewhere in the U.S. I know it won't be a problem for me in Quebec!

 

[nutmanmatt]

Dang come on put it on sprint! I currently have nexus s and its a rally nice phone putting the whole it sucks at picking up a signal thing side......

Nexus Prime was more of a code name, the official name is Galaxy Nexus, they picked that name basically to show that both companies worked on it, since Google uses the Nexus name and Samsung is knows for their Galaxy line.

Now if Samsung would only launch the Galaxy Tab 7.7 in the US, I would be happy.

Really "some internet guy"??? SPRINT!!!!!!! are you kidding me. Not only is Verizon the ONLY service that works but it kills SPRINT by a thousand. If you're not on Verizon, you don't have a cell phone.

I can't beleive i just read what you wrote. Ha, funniest thing ever. "sprint", please !!!!!!

 

[freggo]

How about they release the -unlocked- phone and "I", the consumer select the network ?
If they want network sponsorship to bring down the price, include coupons from the carriers to be used on a 'first activate' basis. Basically, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon etc can all have their coupons in there and YOU can select one when you first activate the thing. So you can still get the discount if you want and be stuck with a contract to make up for the contract, or outright buy it and be contract free.
Hmmm, I ought to patent that idea
