Our friends to the north will be excited to hear that the time they have to wait until they can get their hands on the Galaxy Nexus has just decreased by a day. Originally slated to launch next Thursday, the G-Nex will now get the green light on Wednesday, December 7th. Bell and Virgin Mobile will be the first Canadian carriers to carry the phone.
If you’re willing to sign your name on the dotted line for a 3-year term, you’ll be able to scoop up your own Galaxy Nexus for $159.95 from the carriers’ Yonge and Dundas locations in Toronto, or at Best Buy in the same area.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for Verizon to clue us in on when we can expect to see the damn thing wash up on U.S. soil. Big Red, we’re sick of playing this game. Spill the beans already.

I don’t know much about canadian providers so would I be able to purchase this full price and have it shipped to the US? I’m guessing it would be cheaper to do that instead of getting one from the UK for nearly $800
You could try, but from what I’ve read, the Canadian model doesn’t play nice with American networks. It works, but not how you’d ideally like it to.
I thought the canadian model is the same model released in the UK which is penta-band?
