Galaxy Nexus Arriving at Best Buy December 11
Do we finally have a release date for the Galaxy Nexus?
The Galaxy Nexus is already available in the United Kingdom and arriving in Canada on December 8. However, despite the hoopla surrounding its unveiling, neither Verizon nor Samsung has announced a release date for the North American market. When you consider the fact that the launch event was originally supposed to take place in the U.S., that's pretty puzzling.
The phone has already been delayed once -- initially scheduled to arrive in November, Verizon just recently pushed things back to December. Many assumed that this would mean we'd get the phone around the same time as our neighbors in the Great White North, and it looks like they might be right.
According to this screenshot that Engadget received from an anonymous tipster, the phone (referred to here as the SCH-i515) will arrive in Best Buy stores on December 11. There's no mention of a street date, so we have no clue if December 11 is also launch day, but it's possible the Galaxy Nexus is launching on the same day all over North America (December 8) and Best Buy won't get it for a few days after that. We won't know anything until we hear something official, though. Verizon? Samsung? Best Buy? Google? Anyone?

I thought it was GSM capable?
Wouldn't touch that phone with a 10ft pole until they get volume issue fixed.
Since when has Canada not been a part of North America?
Wouldn't touch that phone with a 10ft pole until they get volume issue fixed.
Volume was fixed earlier this week.
I thought it was GSM capable?
It is. There are 2 version of this phone the i515 and the I9250. The later being GSM
HOW MUCH!!!!!!!
You know, at first I wanted this phone; couldn't imagine buying another one. With all the delays its hard for me to see why I was interested in the first place.

Had the update fix about an hour ago. No need to worry anymore.
I got it last satuday and i've fallen in love with it. It's quick, fluid and the only issue i've had is the sound which has now been fixed. Some people might be put off by the large screen, but in all honesty i couldn't see myself using a smaller screen - I find it quite comfortable to text with too(average sized hands).
I was at Best Buy yesterday, and was told the price is $159 (Canadian) with a 3 year contract.
I assure you, Canada is NOT part of North America. It is it's own contintent. After invading the United States in 1812 and torching the US capitol and white house, Canada actually declared itself the Continent of Canada. Despite some propaganda which is designed to imply great friendship between the US and Canada, Canadians can't stand the stinking "northern Americans".
Lesson over.
Oh lookie, Canada getting a major phone before the US! This can't be right!
