Galaxy Nexus debuts in Canada

The Galaxy Nexus has finally launched in North America, though Android fans in the U.S. are still waiting to get their hands on Samsung's new flagship device, which runs the newest Android 4.0.1 platform, known as Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus took its inaugural bows in the United Kingdom last month, and is now available from Canadian network operators Bell and Virgin Mobile. Fellow wireless carrier Rogers also tweeted that the Galaxy Nexus would debut on its Canada-wide network in January.

"Samsung's ongoing collaboration with Google has resulted in a next generation smartphone that has both superior functionality and a stunning user-experience," said Samsung Electronics Canada Vice President Paul Brannen.

Verizon Wireless announced last October that the Galaxy Nexus would be coming to its superfast 4G LTE network, and just last week said the "anxiously awaited" smartphone would be "coming soon." The device will be the first Nexus smartphone model offered by Verizon Wireless.
