UPDATE: The Android Team’s Dan Morrill has posted an explanation for the removal of the Galaxy Nexus and other CDMA devices from the official developer support page. This has nothing to do with Google Wallet (we never thought it did) and everything to do with the way the Android code is compiled for CDMA devices. In [...]

The Nexus site has been updated to add a sign-up page for Sprint’s version of the Galaxy Nexus. Sprint confirmed the existence of their LTE-carrying Galaxy Nexus during CES time but didn’t give much as far as a release date goes. We are inching ever closer, however, as sign-up pages usually mean that a launch [...]

If our Happy Holidroid contest didn’t fare too well for you and you were still looking for a shot to win a free Galaxy Nexus, you may wanna listen up. Starting tomorrow (10AM ET), for the next 4 days, Verizon Wireless will be throwing a Twitter contest giving away a free Galaxy Nexus each day. [...]

To add insult to injury, after a German court ruled against Samsung’s claims of patent infringement on the part of Apple, the Cupertino-based company has decided to drag the Galaxy Nexus into court. Apple is alleging that the use of a slide-to-unlock feature in the Android 4.0 flagship device infringes upon their intellectual property. While [...]

The white Galaxy Nexus was announced for release in just a few weeks, but other than a few renders we weren’t treated to a good look at the all-vanilla vanilla Android 4.0 phone. HDBlog.it got their hands on one and snapped off a few photos for our viewing pleasure. Looking pretty nice with the white [...]

Telus is finally ready to be part of the Galaxy Nexus hype train as they are ready to bring the Galaxy Nexus to store shelves on January 13th. That’s tomorrow if you aren’t  keeping up. Prices start at $ 160 (three-year contract) with a huge leap (about $ 400-450) depending on contract length. We’re always [...]

The Galaxy Nexus has direct-to-camera screen unlock and zero shutter delay. The Sony Xperia Ion (and the Xperia S, too) has “fast capture” which let’s you hold down the camera button while the phone is sleeping, instantly enabling the camera and automatically capturing. But which has the quicker camera? We put them head-to-head to find [...]

UK retailer Clove has posted a few more “official” press shots of the white version of the Galaxy Nexus hitting overseas in February. You’ll notice unlike the white G-Nex which was previously posted, showing an all white face plate (similar to the white Epic 4G Touch hitting Sprint in a few days), the updated images [...]

Sometimes an almost-square frame just isn’t enough. Google has released a new ad for the Galaxy Nexus highlighting its ability to take panoramic photos with its camera. No more having to move back until everything fits in the frame – just pan across the vast landscapes or whatever you’re shooting a photo of and you’ll [...]

Someone at CNET will be in a wee bit of trouble soon, it seems. An ad popped up on their site showing off the Galaxy Nexus, “the first 4G LTE phone from Sprint.” And there goes the beans. Not only do we know they’re bound to get it, we know that it’ll be the first [...]
