Samsung Galaxy Nexus cases start making their way into Verizon stores

Cases for the long-awaited Galaxy Nexus have started to appear in Verizon's retail stores, indicating, if history is any guidance, an imminent launch of the first handset with Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is most likely hitting Europe next week on November 17, and rumors about its US launch pegged Verizon commencing sales on November 21, ten days after the DROID RAZR launch tomorrow.

Other rumors suspected the Galaxy Nexus will appear in the US November 17, coinciding with the worldwide rollout, or even the 24th.

There's no point in guessing, though - if cases are making their way already to Verizon's stores, then it will probably be only a few days before the carrier finally announces an exact date for the launch.

Lol nice deducing, it won't be long then. And I have decided to extend my contract with vzw it may be expensive but the service in nyc is astonishing compared to other mobile carriers.

I remember back in the day AT&T Wireless had the best service around NYC, but ever since the Cingular merger it's been downhill and I haven't looked back. As much as people complain about VZW pricing, I would never give up their coverage. I work in rural OH and they're the only carrier that offers a strong signal and 3G.

I will wait next year around this time to buy a phone i have a dual core but if I use my upgrade it is only for 1080p phones we went from having 540p to 720p in less then a year, so I am sure there will be a 1080p phone by that time I will have two lines to upgrade Windows 8 and Android with 1080p will do me great ;)

And then there will be another better phone right around the corner and then there will be another better phone right around the corner.......... Just get the Nexus now. Otherwise you'll be waiting for the next best thing every time.
