The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Nexus has finally sailed onto North American shores, but alas, it’s not in the United States just yet. As of today, it’s on sale through Bell or Virgin Mobile in Canada.
The Galaxy Nexus is selling for $159.99 on Virgin Mobile, or if you are looking to save four pennies during these tough economic times, the Galaxy Nexus is just $159.95 on Bell. Both carriers require three-year contracts to get access to these prices.The smartphone is also available without a contract but be prepared to fork over $649.99 to truly call it yours.
For those of us in America, it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer to start unwrapping that delicious Ice Cream Sandwich. There’s plenty of rumors floating around about release dates though. At first it was December 11th, then it was (tomorrow) December 9th, and now neither of those dates seem likely. One thing we do know: it will cost a steep $299.99 on a two-year contract.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus sports an enormous 4.65-inch display and is the first phone to ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We reviewed it a little over a week ago and it’s quite an impressive device.
It’s the Android phone to get if you can actually get it, and now, the lucky folks in Canada can.
