Galaxy Nexus at $299.99 on Verizon - launching Nov 10th

---

Verizon’s latest minimum advertised pricing (MAP) list has added two devices that are no doubt on everyones short list for the holidays. The fan favorite has to be the Galaxy Nexus (Prime), but the HTC Rezound (Vigor) is no slouch in the specs department and HTC certainly has a loyal following amongst the Android faithful.

Considering what these phones have to offer it will probably come as no surprise that they are grabbing Verizon’s top pricing at $299.99 on a 2-year contract. We had a nice run there when $199 was the worst they would do to us, but clearly those days are gone for now.

Does $299 seem like a fair price for these devices to you? How does the November 10th release date sit with you? Should they have pushed to get it closer to the iPhone’s release or is just making sure it is out in time for the holidays good enough?

I only care about the unsubsidized price. I am anticipating paying out the ass for this thing.

$299 on a contract does seem a bit excessive. Hopefully when they do get around to launching an ICS device on Sprint, as usual, the hype will have come down along with the cost.

Do you guys think it will be available unlocked in november in the U.S. ? Which stores?

I'm taking a trip over there

I'm sure you can get one unsubsidized at any Verizon store. Just tell them you're going to activate it later or its a gift.

Looking at the price from one of the UK stores already advertising it for £514.80 ($813) VAT included and £429 ($628) base for the 16gig model. Of course that's before any official pricing is available so take with a Mt. Everest size grain of salt.

I am going to get the 32gig GSM version as soon as it hits the street. My N1 is getting long in the tooth.

I just read at phandroid.com that UK will be getting only the 16GB version. That's a nogo for me. I need either expandable memory or a 32GB. That sucks big time!!!

Just curious, but what do people use all of that space for? I'd initially think music, but with Google Music streaming everything or Pandora that seems less feasible. What would the extra 16GB of storage go to?

Well for starters I fly a lot so Pandora or a cloud is out of the question for me. I have several gigabytes of music, not counting that I want to use that gorgeous HD screen to watch movies(each movie in HD is about 2GB or more) and play games. That's without adding all the 1080p videos that I'll be taking. Hence, I need more that 16GB. The new Razr has an sd card slot, and it has hdmi port built in to watch Netflix in HD on your big screen tv. I may tilt toward the Razr this time.
