Galaxy Nexus is taken off Google Play US Store.

Galaxy Nexus is no longer available for sale at Google Play US Store. Samsung’s request for a stay of injunction against the sale of Galaxy Nexus was denied by the Honorable Judge Lucy Koh.

I wonder what would happen to the Nexus-7 tablet. What if it were banned for sale in the US too? I have already preordered one and there might be a chance I wouldn’t be getting it. To be honest, I am expecting Nexus-7 to ship before Apple can do anything about it. Then again, Apple has yet to sue ASUS for any slavish copying.

Note from Vondiggity:

“Who’s laughing now? I already bought one.”

Replies from me:

“You paid $399 plus sales tax and shipping. The price is $349 plus sales tax and shipping. That $50 can get you a lot of taco on Taco Tuesday.”

Samsung Galaxy Nexus is preliminary banned in the USA.

I am pretty sure the it was an album title. Yep there’s an album titled “Banned in the USA” for sure.

From FOSS Patents Blog:

Apple wins U.S. preliminary injunction against the Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus over Siri patent

Judge Lucy Koh of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has just granted Apple a preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, an Android-based smartphone co-developed by Samsung and Google.

In the meantime, Google dropped the unlocked Galaxy Nexus price by $50 at Google Play Store; from $399 to $349. Better get it before the ban took effect.

Galaxy Nexus Billboard

I was in Long beach, California earlier today and spotted a Galaxy Nexus billboard. I’m not sure how long the billboard has been there. Google is selling Galaxy Nexus in two main flavors, CDMA and GSM. The billboard features Verizon Wireless logo while Google is directly selling GSM Galaxy Nexus on Google Play.

Google sells unlocked Galaxy Nexus for $399.

Google now sells unlocked Galaxy Nexus for $399 at Google Play.

Unlocked Galaxy Nexus supports 3G network for both AT&T (850 and 1900 MHz) and T-Mobile (1700 and 2100 MHz) in the United States.

NETWORK

GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
3G (850, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)
HSPA+ 21

I am cautiously interested in buying an unlocked Galaxy Nexus. It is a five month old Android phone afterall (originally released on November 17, 2011). Two questions come to mind:

  • Has the Galaxy Nexus been selling well at all?
  • When will the next Google’s “pure Android” phone will be out?

Personally I was disappointed with Google’s Nexus One as it was over-promised and under-delivered. I do not know yet if I want to buy this unlocked Galaxy Nexus.

Nerd Fight!

Josh Topolsky and MG Siegler are having war of words over reviews of Galaxy Nexus. John Gruber seems to be cheering for Siegler on this one.

Chronology:

To be honest, both Topolsky and Siegler are “tech elitists”. For the rest of us, we love watching “nerd fight”.
