Although no official launch date yet, we have some official pricing for those who need to balance their checkbooks before they make the big Galaxy Nexus purchase. This is as official as it gets I think (although it could doubtfully get reprinted), a leaked image of a Verizon in-store price tag has appeared on line and clearly shows the device at $299 on contract, just as we suspected. Although not shown in the picture, the retail price is going to be $649 for those who want to purchase the phone out-right.
If you are harboring a great hate for Verizon and refuse to give them money directly you could always go to Costco where none the wiser. According to Droid Life, they have heard from Costco insiders that the device will be sold with their commonly offered accessory bundle. Unlike the great goodies you got with the Bionic and the RAZR, the Galaxy Nexus will only come with a generic leather case, car charger, and a few screen protectors, but will be cheaper than Verizon at $289.
You know we are most definitely keeping our eye on the latest release rumors and we will keep you posted as soon as we hear more.

Unfortunately, it’s made by samsung. Why can’t htc come out with a “nexus” phone? Didn’t they do the first one?
They did, and it was an amazing phone. I’m not sure why they switched, but I’m not really sad, either.
Because they can’t let go of Sense!
