Nearly two months after the Galaxy Nexus was announced it will finally be in stores on December 15 and cost $300 on a two-year contract. The Verizon model will be mostly similar to the HSPA+ version reviewed here (above), but will switch both to LTE as well as to CDMA for voice. Stock Android 4.0 should remain on the phone, and its main sacrifices will be the carrier lock as well as a slightly thicker body (up from 8.9mm to 9.5mm) to accommodate a bigger battery. The two share the 4.65-inch, 720p Super AMOLED HD screen, dual-core 1.2GHz TI OMAP processor, five-megapixel rear camera, and 1.3-megapixel front camera. Verizon’s model should carry 32GB of storage like the higher-end HSPA+ version.
