When it comes to the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, it's later than you think!

If you were planning on picking up the Samsung GALAXY Nexus during the holiday shopping season, you might have to wait until after Black Friday to pick up the first Android 4.0 smartphone. Multiple sources for Droid-Life have said not to expect the highly anticipated model to rollout until the week of Black Friday, the day that traditionally kicks off the holiday shopping season. However, a leaked roadmap seems to show that the Ice Cream Sandwich flavored device might not launch until after Black Friday as part of Samsung's Holiday Portfolio.

Just yesterday we passed along word from U.K. newspaper The Telegraph which was told by Samsung that the GALAXY Nexus would launch in the States one week after its November 17th launch in the U.K. Now the delay is looking a bit longer and those who have been counting the seconds until its arrival at Verizon are wondering what ever happened to the originally rumored November 10th release date for the phone. Still, both the manufacturer and the carrier don't want to miss out on getting this beast ready in time for the holidays, so if the launch of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus comes after Black Friday, it probably will not be too many days after the holiday shopping season begins.
