14 DAY TRIAL // Quicker than expected Amazon slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and is now offering the best deal on the Android 4.0 smartphone.
New customers can purchase the Samsung Galaxy Nexus via Amazon Wireless for only $149.99 (115 EUR) with a new two-year agreement. Existing customers who are eligible for an upgrade can grab the Galaxy Nexus for $199.99 (153 EUR). Furthermore, Amazon sells the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for a suggested retail price of $739.99 (565 EUR).
However, the Galaxy Nexus is now backordered at Amazon, which means that all orders are estimated to be shipped in 8 to 9 days.
In addition, for a limited time, the retailer offers special “Double Your Data” promotion to all customers who purchase a 4G Verizon phone. Basically, they will receive twice the amount of data for the same monthly access.
According to Samsung, “the world's first smartphone running on Android 4.0, the 4G-enabled Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Verizon brings a redesigned user interface with enhanced multitasking, notifications, full Web browsing experience, and more.”
Aside the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, Galaxy Nexus comes with innovative features, including Face Unlock or Near Field Communications (NFC) capabilities.
The new platform offers users an onscreen navigation bar instead of the hardware buttons for Back, Home, and Menu found with other Android smartphones.
Creating folders is now easier by simply dragging one application onto another. With the Recent Apps button users will be able to jump quickly from one task to another using the list that is found in the System Bar.
It is also worth mentioning that the Android 4.0 platform comes with a new voice engine that allows users to speak a certain text instead of typing it.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus is nicely wrapped and comes with a rechargeable battery, a wall/USB charger, a stereo headset, and a quick start guide in the sales package.
