Guest Karucifer Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Despite all the rumours we've been hearing to the contrary, Samsung confirmed today via press release that the Galaxy Nexus will be on sale in the UK on the 17th of November. As to what their definition of "on sale" is, only time will tell. We're hoping to be pleasantly surprised, but our sources would indicate limited stock in the hands of a select few and only yesterday were telling us to expect proper stock levels to appear some time after the 21st. No news as yet as to whether we'll be treated to another unboxing - which is the highlight of any Nexus release :lol:. Have you preordered a Galaxy Nexus yet? Do you plan to? Let us know in the comments! The full release, should you enjoy reading such stuff, is after the break.
