Rumors about the upcoming release of the Galaxy Nexus moved back the launch date of the smartphone several times by now.

According to the latest hearsay, Verizon Wireless plans to release the Galaxy Nexus around the Black Friday, but no exact date surfaced.

However, the carrier's roadmap that has just been leaked by the folks over at DroidLife, confirms the Galaxy Nexus will be launched on November 21.

Moreover, several Android devices, including two tablets, as well as three feature-phones will also hit shelves at Verizon Wireless in the next three weeks.

As expected, the Motorola RAZR which is already up for pre-order at Verizon, will go live on November 11, while the recently announced HTC Rezound is expected to arrive in store on November 14.

Initially slated for a November 17 release in the United States, the Galaxy Nexus has been replaced with Samsung Illusion, which is a budget-friendly Android smartphone.

While Verizon customers will have the chance to purchase the Samsung Illusion smartphone, Android fans living in the U.K. will be able to purchase the Galaxy Nexus, which has been confirmed for November 17.

According to the Verizon roadmap, the carrier also plans to release the BlackBerry Curve 9370 on November 17, which is an unannounced BlackBerry 7 smartphone.

A Casio G'zOne Ravine successor is scheduled for a November 17 release as well. Little is known about Casio G'zOne Ravine 2, but, just like its predecessor, this one will be a rugged feature-phone.

Motorola XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition will also go live at Verizon Wireless on November 30, as Moto 8'' and Moto 10'' tablets.

Two more feature-phones, the Verizon-branded Adamant and LG Extravert will be launched on December 1 and December 8, respectively.

Last but not least, ZTE Mobile Hotspot will go live at Verizon Wireless on December 1.
