Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Verizon confirmed for December launch

“Seeing is believing”, or so the saying goes – well, I guess at this point in time, there really isn’t much to say about Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus then. There were rumors in the past concerning the launch of the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon’s network, but according to Steve Kovach of Business Insider, Samsung has just confirmed to him that the long awaited Galaxy Nexus will definitely arrive on Verizon sometime next month – which is rather odd considering Verizon is the one who will roll out the phone, although it goes without saying that Samsung themselves too should have a date in mind.

Google has gone one step better though, claiming that the Galaxy Nexus will arrive in November itself, but with just a week left to go for the Galaxy Nexus to make its debut and with no sight of an announcement from Verizon concerning this smartphone, I guess we can more or less rule out the November release date. Hopefully when the Galaxy Nexus launches, it will be smooth sailing from then onwards.
