Samsung Galaxy Nexus appears in Verizon system, could land November 3rd

Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, which was originally scheduled to debut during the CTIA Enterprise & Applications 2011 show this week, has reportedly made an appearance in Verizon Wireless’s internal systems. A screenshot obtained by Droid-Life reaffirms BGR’s report the phone will be equipped with support for Verizon’s 4G LTE network, but does not reveal much more on the device other than its lack of global roaming capabilities. In addition, Phandroid, says the phone might be available as early as November 3rd, although the site’s tipster refers to the phone by its code-name, ‘Nexus Prime.’ Samsung will officially announce the device in Hong Kong on October 19th, and a picture of an Ice Cream Sandwich on the official invitation confirms Google will discuss the next Android release, too. BGR exclusively released full specs for the phone, which include a 4.65-inch 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED HD display, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 5-megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p video, NFC, LTE/HSPA depending on the carrier, a 1,750 mAh battery and a TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz. A screenshot of the Galaxy Nexus in Verizon’s system follows below.

    The sooner the better, as far as I’m concerned. I’d like to see a confirmation on those specs (we haven’t forgotten about the competing set of specs in the wild, even if you have), any other interesting ICS toys, and I need to get rid of this damn Droid X.

    Shame that CM7 is going stable just as this phone is coming out, but those are the breaks. I’m sure CM9 will come out for the Nexus in short order.

      Yea they’ve been working on CM9 already. I’m hoping not too long after Nexus comes out.

        Has the ICS source even been released yet?  Before it is even announced?

      • http://twitter.com/_elemenopee_ Kavin Nguyen

        My mistake. They haven’t started on it yet. I read their blog a couple of weeks ago and remembered it wrong. They said “…and soon CM9″

      You do mean CRAPPPY DROID X?!

      I just SBF’d mine back to FROYO and did the GB .605 OTA to revalidate the warranty. I was loving Sensei-Mod .602 but, damn Mobile Hotspot on this thing was apparently busted ‘out-the-box’!

        All I’ve done with this thing is root it so that I could run Titanium Backup. No custom ROMs, no themes, no nothing. This phone can kick rocks. As a matter of fact, I think I’m done with Motorola for a good long while.

      • Anonymous

        Custom themes and ROMs were the only fun part. I only got this thing (out-of-pocket) because it was the only 4.3″ screen on Verizon’s network. After using it for the past ten months as my primary device, I can say that it pales in comparison to the original EVO and most other HTC phones with screens > 4″. It also pales in comparison to most current Samsung devices, especially the Samsung Charge; notwithstanding, future Samsung releases will make this phone a paper weight. Too much CRAPPPY Bloatware to gave to get rid of and too many keyboard issues; camera sucks (the Front Facing 0.30 pixel camera on the iPhone 4 shoots a clearer picture). Hope you backed up your Angry Birds suite?!? And, stay away from Crapporola.

        Motorola does a pretty half assed Jon on their devices lately, even high end. Samsung gets a bad rep for being a copycat but there is no question that they have the best android phones on the market right now. Better battery life and faster than the competition

        @PAPINYC:disqus I got tired of the Angry Birds thing pretty quickly, so I don’t have to worry about having all 57 versions of that backed up.

      CM 7 has been stable for months

      • Anonymous

        I read it was still having minor issues (can’t remember what exactly); I was going to try Liberty but, also read it had issues. Anyway, kinda’ stuck with this CRAPPPY DROID X because VZW insists my grandfathered stand-alone data plan is incompatible with newer devices. One of these days, I’m going to take a month off and download about 50 GB of data just to see how they react.

      • A child sings

        You didnt read anything about issues. Ill belive you read that the same day that i belive you have moved out of your wife’s basement.

      • Millerj1777

        Hey I work for Verizon and I’m curious what data plan they said doesn’t work with the new phones and who told you that? Do you have the unlimited plan or something else?

      • Anonymous

        The plan was originally titled: “Unlimited Data for PDA Smartphone” and initially introduced in 2005 with the Audiovox XV6600 PDA Smartphone; the “stand-alone” data plan did not require an added voice plan but, offered domestic calls at .25¢ per minute of use. The plan was short-lived and discontinued since most people wanted voice calling. I, however, in true PAPI form am annoyed by voice calls and, moreover, recognized the value of “Unlimited Data”, therefore, never changed my plan. The plan title has changed in Verizon’s internal systems but, the “Plan Code” remains the same; it is now “Unlimited Web and Email”. It is incompatible with new phones because Verizon would love it very much if I dropped it, so they won’t let me upgrade my device unless I forfeit the plan.

        It’s stable, but if you go to the Cyanogenmod forums and look for a stable build for the Droid X, you won’t find one. They’re not quite ready with it yet. That’s what I meant (I should have specified).

      • Anonymous

        That’s what I thought (re: CM7 DROID X stability). Sensei-Mod .602 [very STABLE] and removes all of the bloatware, e.g., City I.D., Amazon, Blockbuster, etc.

        LOL @ Angry Birds (I just backed it up to restore my progress on my Galaxy Tab – wouldn’t want to lose months of progress)

        BTW, the new iPhone 4S has a great new game called Winnie the Pooh Puzzle Book (lol) and Real Racer 2 which doesn’t let you crash – ha-ha!
        Now, I know how sheep entertaiN themselves.

    lol @ your “Exclusive”

    • http://www.facebook.com/joseph.a.yager Joseph A. Yager

      Agreed – not sure this site actually knows what “exclusive” means…they also “exclusively” released well-known specs for the Droid RAZR today…

      • Spackler

        I’m convinced they determine end-of-the-year bonuses by the number of times each person is able to incorporate “exclusive” into their posts.

      • Feras Hanano

        They also exclusively broke that Sprint would get the iphone 5 exclusively…I take none of their ‘exclusive’ news as fact. I will wait for Google and Samsung to tell us what the facts are, stop trying too toot your own horns with that garbage language, even if you end up being right…

    iPhone Killer; everything iPhone (4S) is not!

      You’re right!
      The 4S is not not a global phone
      And the new Nexus is not a global phone!

        Dear Father:

        What you don’t realize is that, any phone (except iPhone) not being a Global phone is really at the request, or lack thereof a request, of the carrier. iPhone is not a Global phone, it is a World phone that can be used internationally if it is unlocked. Good luck with that! By the way, tell Mom that I won’t be home for dinner cuz’ I’ll be at a friend’s apartment playing with tAmpons.

      • Cer

        The statement was that the Nexus is everything the iPhone 4S is not. The iPhone 4S is global, making your retort irrelevant. A proper retort would be “the iPhone 4S doesn’t have X, and the Nexus doesn’t either.”

      • Father Harold

        Ah my friend. You failed to recognize the double negative. You likely assumed it was a typo, and you were wrong.

        He said the new moto is everything the 4S is not. So i used a double negative to actually state that the 4S was a global phone while the nexus was not.

        If you failed to folow the grammatical logic of my first post, i assume you will have already failed at following this response and you are likely already wrist deep in yourself

      • Cer

        You’re correct, I failed to recognize the double negative. Nicely done.

      I’m wondering if the “global” phone will be HSPA+ ONLY.  The Nexus/Prime could be too thin to fit all the required components on the circuit board.

    5MP camera?

      You need a good lens and a good sensor a lot more than you need a raw number of megapixels.

      “Now everybody loves to talk about megapixels, but we tend to ask the question how do we make better pictures? Megapixels are nice, but what these cameras are really about is capturing photons and low light photography.”

    wouldn’t that be funny if the delay was caused by the inability to the get the ICS statue built on time and delivered? :)
