Don’t expect to see the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus before Thanksgiving

It appears Verizon wants to spread out their releases a little more, and as a result, they have chosen to push out the most anticipated device the farthest, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. We were originally hoping for a November 17 launch, but the above holiday schedule obtained by Droid-Life shattered that wish. As you can see, Verizon has no intentions on releasing the Galaxy Nexus before Black Friday, and I am thinking it might not launch till Thursday, December 1. Of course it’s possible they do a Black Friday launch. It continues to be a waiting game, and it looks like those of you in Europe will be enjoying ICS before those of us in the US.

Another Black Friday has passed without the coming of the apocalypse, and now retailers and economists are taking a look at sales figures to see exactly how screwed we all are. However, things are looking somewhat positive this year, including reports from both PayPal and eBay that mobile sales volumes were up over the weekend.

Reports are coming in that eBay saw a 30% increase in mobile bidding, while PayPal saw a staggering 310% increase over the Black Friday weekend. Perhaps its about time that PayPal add support for the Android Market so they can see these increases in mobile revenue carry over into Christmas and beyond.

The busiest shopping day of the year, aka Black Friday, is only two weeks away. Best Buy is always a major shopping destination on that day, and they have a few great Android deals to be had. A couple of them require a new 2-year agreement, but if you’re in the market for one of those the price for a couple of these is out of the world. Check out the deals below:

  • Samsung Transform – $69.99 with 2 year contract
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab – $549.99

  • HTC Droid Incredible – $1 with 2 year contract
  • Samsung Fascinate – $1 with 2 year contract
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab -$549.99

Any of those one dollar deals are pretty sweet, but again you need to get that pesky new contract. We’d love to hear from you! Are you planning on heading to Best Buy in two weeks and grabbing one (or more) of these Android devices? Leave us a comment below and let your voice be heard!
