Are you ready to actually get your hands on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus? Well right now you can! Only problem is that you'd have to go to New York and you'd only be fondling a pre-production demo unit that's tethered to a display.

The LTE Galaxy Nexus has finally made an appearance on US soil and can been seen/touched at the Samsung Experience in Columbus Circle. Unfortunateley the store is not selling the phones and the demo units are missing SIM cards. There is no real way to see how the device is going to work on Verizon's LTE network but at least you can see ICS first hand. Speaking of ICS, these demo units are running Android 4.0.1 not the final 4.1 version that is expected with launch.

The guys over at Engadget have provides us a little hands on video that shows the use of a Verizon MiFi to speed test the network connectivity (hardly a true sign of device performance, but interesting nonetheless). Results ranged from 5000-7000kbps down and upload speeds of 300-2000kpbs using Verizon LTE over Wi-Fi. Jump past the break to check out the short video or if you're somewhere near NYC, cruise over the the Samsung Experience for your very own hands-on time.

Although currently not a doctor or a scientist, some believe he posseses the knowledge of both. He was a resident of San Diego California for ten years, lived beachside and sometimes wonders why the hell he moved back to Spokane. A multi-talented man, Stacy is a fabricator, an artist, a gear head, a tech junkie and at most, the disciple of Casanova. Growing up, he was always enthralled with electronics, gadgets and gizmos. Throughout his life he has had one, if not two, of every cool and new electronic device available. He began his smartphone experience with the original iPhone. After realizing it was more like theirPhone, he decided he wanted the ability to customize, so Stacy moved to the OG Droid and has been a loyal Android fanatic ever since. Moving through all of the top tier Verizon phones, he recently retired his Droid Charge in favor of the Galaxy Nexus, only to wonder what great device Samsung will come out with next. Stacy is a busy new homeowner in where he lives with his beautiful girlfriend and two dogs.
