Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless was expected to make the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone available for purchase on its network on December 9th, but that day has come and gone, and enthusiasts are still left in the dark.

Verizon customers are already getting upset on the lack of transparency on Galaxy Nexus’s landing; yet, there are more release date rumors they can now feed on. 

One of them suggests that December 13th might be the lucky day for Big Red’s users, while another points at December 15th, as one of our readers notes in a recent comment.

However, nothing was confirmed on either of these, and there is also a rumor that December 31st would be the actual release date (as if Verizon was determined not to miss the 2011 launch window), so we’ll have to wait for a formal announcement on this to learn how things actually stand.

This is crazy. I stopped by my local Radio Shack (Suffolk, VA) yesterday, and they confirmed that they have the SGNexus handsets in-store now, but are not allowed to display or sell them yet.... arggghhh!

I spoke to a rep at Best Buy in Michigan and he confirmed that they were in the store, but couldn't open the box or sell them either. Hopefully Verizon and Google will be done fighting over Google Wallet (and I hope Google wins) soon. Another theory is that Verizon wants the delay to sell more of the RAZR. Either way, Big Red's head has gotten too big.

It's all about hype and business (greed)...if they wait too long...they will compete with iPhone 5.....I know I am tired of waiting........about to just give up and get the 4s.

With the Galaxy S II HD already going through the paces in Korea, and the strong possibility of a Galaxy Note launch soon....the GN will be a regret purchase within a month.

You know instead of talking about GNEX BS rumored release dates and features which i think everybody knows about, why don't you talk about how VZW customers are getting so wary that some are actually either changing their carrier because of their contract ending and because of the crap and the total lack of respect they have for their customers. I know that someone from verizon reads these blogs and know how people feel about the constant delays and the gap for this particular handset is going to close if they don't just release the handset and stop trying to pick the customers pocket for every little app and feature that mostly all customers don't want.. C'mon they actually want to go through all this just because of the Wallet vs. Isis app, it has nothing to do with nothing else but that and that's just plain corporate greed. I have a Nexus s 4g on Sprint and didn't have to wait this long for it to come out because Sprint and Google has an agreement and let the nexus come out as a PURE GOOGLE EXPERIENCE, no bloatware sprint apps on the phone and I love it.. Google and Samsung should of let Sprint release this version of nexus and I guarantee it would of been out even before it was released in other countries... STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE RELEASE, as long as they know that your still willing to wait with frustration, anger and now animosity towards the co. and posting on blogs instead of writing to VZW, these blogs are just a little tension reliever and the editor gets off by just writing another rumored date thats not official from VZW instead of them just letting Verizon know exactly how their customers actually feel about the situation.. Who actually reads these blogs anyway, do you know, are you sure or is it just space where you can release your steam but still get nowhere.... Don't tell the blogs, TELL VERIZON you need to be heard the right way... Mostly the only people that reads these are the same people thats in the same position as you are and thats now getting us nowhere with the company...
