WIND Mobile will also release the Galaxy Nexus, currently “in testing”

By on January 5, 2012 at 2:04pm in Mobile News, WIND Mobile


This all but confirms all carrier releases of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Not that there was any doubt, but a quick email to Tony Lacavera, WIND Mobile CEO, on if/when the Galaxy Nexus would be available to WIND customers: “Yes of course we will have the Galaxy Nexus, in fact, I am using it right now to send you this email! We are in testing will get it out ASAP”.

So there you have it… Ice Cream Sandwich love will be had by most of the Canadian carriers.

    • I really like my HTC Amaze too! I can’t see anyone who has the Amaze wanting to change, though. It’s really for people who have been waiting.

  8. I just got a Nexus S (not willing to drop $650 on a 16GB phone). Great phone! So sexy! It may be “outdated”, but doesnt seem so. Battery life is quite poor tho. That is my only compliant.

    • The Nexus S isn’t an outdated phone, it’s a year old, so that means it just isn’t as cutting edge as new ones… but outdated? No way.

      With ICS update the Nexus S is still an amazing phone, and will be for another year or so. The Galaxy Nexus is a sweet phone though, I won’t be switching, am a new Nexus S user myself, but if you’re looking for a pure Google phone (and you should be) this is now the phone you should get.

    • I don’t believe it’s possible to combine the tab with the holiday plan. Hence why you still need to pay the cost of the phone first.

  14. Had the Amaze and really liked it but the battery life was just too short for my liking so I ended up returning it.
    On the plus side, the Amaze charges up in like 45-60 minutes.

    The Galaxy Nexus though is great for battery life and I have yet to run out in a regular day’s use and that’s with gaming, watching an episode of Archer, phone calls, Kik and email.

    I have Juice Defender on there and use Tasker to automatically turn on/off my wifi/blue tooth at certain times of the day (ride to and from work).

    I had set the same thing up with the Amaze and I would be dead by 6pm. Not where HTC messed up on that one. Frustrating though as it is a damn nice phone.

  15. Got one. Works great!

    /I’m betting the WIND “testing team” is just having too much fun to release it.

  16. Great news. I’ve been waiting for WIND to launch Galaxy Nexus for a while now. The HTC Amaze lost me at its battery and screen. Having ICS on Galaxy Nexus is nice but more importantly is when Google upgrade its OS in the future, I won’t need to worry of being outdated too soon.

  20. I signed up with WIND last week and got the Nexus S. As nice as the Galaxy Nexus is, I wasn’t prepared to drop $350 or so and still end up with $300 on the WINDtab+. The S is a great phone — a year old and only a single core processor, but it’s plenty capable and getting ICS. Dual core is nice, but means it will drain the battery faster. Larger screen also means a substantial battery drain too.

  21. Milpool. The Galaxy Nexus has much better battery life than the Nexus S.

  27. I am on 35 plan. Caan some body tell me if I am eligible for wind tab + or not. Last but not least, WIND rocks by slapping on so called big 3 which dump and dummy people adore for just to show off and status concious celeb foLlowers.
