Galaxy Nexus on sale in Canada

Samsung Galaxy Nexus has made its North American debut but, unfortunately for those hoping for some Verizon LTE action, it is the Canadian carriers who are next to grab the Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone. Both Virgin Mobile Canada and Bell Canada are now offering the HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus that we reviewed last month, priced from 159.99 CAD with a new, three-year agreement.

Alternatively, you can grab the HSPA+ Nexus for 649.99 CAD, if you want to use a SIM you already have. It is a pentaband model supporting the 850/900/1700/1900/2100 UMTS/WCDMA bands so if you decide to take a quick trip up from the US to grab one in Canada, you will then be able to use it on T-Mobile USA or AT&T when you get home.
