Here we go around the release date revolving door for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, again. A new leaked screenshot shows a November 17 release date for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus at Verizon Wireless. A commercial for it has also surfaced.
A previous leaked screenshot from another source showed a release date after Black Friday weekend or was it just when Samsung promotions would start? The European version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was announced to be November 17 and what about the U.S. release?
When we read the description of where the screenshot came from it says "it is a work in progress." Could it be perhaps from the marketing or design department?
Android Central called the date "dubious" although it makes sense. The photo came from an anonymous source that appeared in forums.
Meanwhile the Samsung Galaxy Nexus commercial has show up at Amazon U.K.
Although there has been no word from Verizon news releases as to the exact release date for the Droid RAZR, last night a commercial began airing that shows 11/11/11. We can expect a spectacular marketing campaign and some freebies from DroidLanding on Twitter as well as the DrioidDoes website.
Shown below the YouTube video description of the latest Droid RAZR commercial is "The DROID RAZR by Motorola. Only at Verizon. Arriving 11.11.11. 11.11AM." A Droid RAZR slices through a street scene cutting signs, a parking meter and a lamp post (video appears below).
Finally, HTC has announced the HTC Rezound (Vigor) at a press event in New York City. It will sell for $299 with a contract from Verizon Wireless starting November 14. The HTC Rezound will come with Beats audio enhancement by Dr. Dre and Beats earphones which retail for $120-180 when sold separately.
It will ship Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ready. Those who were at the event are saying the superb Beats sound make the HTC Rezound a great contender vs the Droid RAZR and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
It definitely "beats" the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to market because Verizon has not officially announced a release date for the Nexus although leaked documents suggest the Nexus will go on sale after Black Friday weekend. The Droid RAZR is thinner and due out on November 10 while the the Galaxy Nexus has Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with a huge 4.65" screen. Both the RAZR and Nexus have 1.2GHz dual-core processors.
AT&T announced today that the BlackBerry OS & BlackBerry Torch 9860 will go on sale on Sunday, November 6 with access to AT&T’s 4G HSPA+ network.
