Let's review all the news around Android 4.0 in the Samsung Galaxy which is being tested, documented, videoed, updated, filed and reviewed.

First off, it's good to know that Google employees are testing Android 4.0 on the Samsung Nexus S that hopefully will clear up any glitches before it is delivered to the public.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon version) can be seen without a SIM card connected to the Verizon network in the Samsung Experience store in New York City.

While those with GSM networks in other parts of the world are enjoying their Samsung Galaxy Nexus superphones, Americans await its arrival with bated breath (and some heavy breathing). First-look reviews have been fantastic and whenever something is delayed it fuels desires even greater. Many sources can't figure what the price from Verizon Wireless for the Nexus will be while those who sell unlocked models are raking in big bucks.

Once again Best Buy showed a little too much, too soon, in the Circular section there is the Verizon Samsung Nexus Prime 4G LTE for $299.99 from November 27- December 31. Of course, today is November 27 and that sale date did not come today. The name of the phone has been changed to Samsung Galaxy Nexus, therefore we can assume that the description was from an earlier date and auto-scheduled to run today. Everyone now is sure that yes the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has been delayed.
