The highly anticipated, Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus goes on sale today. It’s the first Android handset to ship with Android 4.0 Ice cream sandwich. It’s a monster of a phone with a spacious 4.65-inch touchscreen display and 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. If you’re buying one, here’s a list of locations for you to comparison shop. You will notice two prices as most retailers add $50 for existing customers who upgrade their line. The lower price is for customers buying a new line of service.
