Make sense?
This happens a lot, folks, so let’s explain it again: A website that sells phones — a third-party retailer, if you will — knows just as well as you or I that the Galaxy Nexus (aka the Nexus Prime, aka the Samsung GT-i9250) is going to be announced next week. So it takes a leaked picture and slaps it up on its site, and gets us all to write about it. It’s an SEO play. Oh, and that $ 749 asking price and $ 949 retail price? We’d be shocked if that’s really what an unlocked Galaxy Nexus costs.
In fact, we’re not even going to list the website that’s listed the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus is coming. It’ll be announced Wednesday in Hong Kong. (That’s Tuesday evening in the States.) We’d wait until then before plopping down any money.
But in the meantime, you can visit our Galaxy Nexus forums, which we absolutlely have had live long before the phone is announced in hopes that you’ll click on it and give us better SEO. But then again, we’re not selling it to you for $ 749.
(And in other news, yes, the phone we first told you will be coming to Verizon is showing up in Verizon’s inventory systems. Whodathunkit?)
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
