, Dec 13th 2011 Discuss [21]

Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich hero device, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, may be heading to Costco in a $289 bundle. A leaked Costo ad revealed the special pricing along with a release date that supports previous rumors for a December 15 launch. Read The Full Story

Galaxy Nexus ICS ROM restores Facebook contacts sync

, Dec 13th 2011 Discuss [13]

Facebook and Google may have fallen out over contacts sync, Google stripping support for adding Facebook friends into the Android address book back in the Nexus S days, but that hasn't stopped modders from adding it back into Ice Cream Sandwich. A newly released MoDaCo ROM includes contacts sync support once more, along with some relatively low resolution contact photos that show up for each user. Read The Full Story

Verizon Galaxy Nexus set for December 15th says multiple sources

, Dec 12th 2011 Discuss [120]

This week we've got more sources than we know what to do with telling us that Verizon's new release date for the Galaxy Nexus is no later than December 15th - no sooner, either, if you put it that way. This device has been one of the most hotly debated madness inciters in months as it was released in the UK several weeks before being dropped here in the USA through its first and only carrier: Verizon. This device is the first device to carry Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is Samsung / Google / Verizon's hero phone when it's released later this week - we hope! Read The Full Story

Galaxy Nexus on sale in Canada

, Dec 8th 2011 Discuss [11]

Samsung's Galaxy Nexus has made its North American debut but, unfortunately for those hoping for some Verizon LTE action, it's the Canadian carriers who are next to grab the Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone. Both Virgin Mobile Canada and Bell Canada are now offering the HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus that we reviewed last month, priced from CA$159.99 with a new, three-year agreement.

$290 Galaxy Nexus tipped as retailers struggle to shave price

, Dec 8th 2011 Discuss [59]

A $300 price tag for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus looks increasingly likely, with the latest leak indicating even cost-cutting wholesalers like Costco can't bring the coveted Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone down by more than a few bucks. A leaked screenshot from the members-only retailer suggests the LTE Galaxy Nexus will be $289.99 with a new, two year agreement, phoneArena reports, though Costco will at least sweeten the deal somewhat with a mysterious "Member Bonus Accessory Pack."

This Verizon Galaxy Nexus extended battery extends my tears for waiting

, Dec 7th 2011 Discuss [71]

Back a little less than a year ago when the first Verizon LTE-laden Android smartphone was released, that being the HTC ThunderBolt for all you kids out there, it had an awesome optional extended battery that you could pick up to extend the battery time to a plausible amount of time – this being more than the 4 hours of regular time you got with LTE back in the day. Now we’ve got another device, the Galaxy Nexus, with an extended battery appearing for it, and though this this isn’t the only other extended battery of its kind, it does remind me of the whoa I felt at the hands of the rogue FedEx delivery man I was subject to back then the day before CTIA, spring 2011.

Verizon has issued a statement today denying claims that it is intentionally blocking support for the Google Wallet mobile payment app on the upcoming Galaxy Nexus.

Google confirms Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus won’t support Google Wallet

, Dec 6th 2011 Discuss [20]

So it's official, Google spokesperson just confirmed tonight that Verizon's Galaxy Nexus will not be supporting Google Wallet, along with those from other carriers, such as T-Mobile and AT&T (if they ever get the Nexus, that is). Same probably goes for all Android smartphones besides the Nexus S 4G for the currently foreseeable future. Well, that's not the most pleasant of news, especially for those who're already starting to utilize the NFC payment service offered by Google. What a bummer. Read The Full Story

Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus to be priced at $299.99 on 2-year contract, reports WSJ

, Dec 5th 2011 Discuss [3]

Following the newly released leaked shots today, the Wall Street Journal has just reported that Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus will be priced at $299.99 on a new 2-year contract, which sounds pretty archetypal alongside other Verizon offerings like the Motorola Droid RAZR and the HTC Rezound, both of which share the same price point. Unfortunately, what hasn't been confirmed is the actual release date, since the reports didn't get any more specific than "this month". Read The Full Story

Verizon Galaxy Nexus in-store packaging appears

, Dec 5th 2011 Discuss [30]

At this point we've got to assume that the folks at Verizon had all of this leak and pre-release panic planned for the Galaxy Nexus, because what we've been experiencing since the release of the international edition of this world's first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich device is nothing but heartbreak and agony over the release date for the Verizon version here in the USA - that said, here's the in-store packaging. In what appears very much to replicate the packaging of the Nexus S, the hero device for Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Verizon's package has padding inside the top of the box, a simple cradle of red for the device, and all the regular bits underneath. Could this be the sign we've been waiting for? Read The Full Story

Galaxy Nexus volume update: Are you fixed?

, Dec 4th 2011 Discuss [51]

Samsung and Google began rolling out the Galaxy Nexus volume bugfix late last week, though it seems not all users of the Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone have yet received it. The update, ITL41F, hit our UK Galaxy Nexus on Saturday morning, but other owners have taken to Twitter and Google+ to complain that they're yet to see the amended software. Has your Galaxy Nexus been fixed yet? Read The Full Story
