Actually looks like the Fido Galaxy Nexus will launch January 10th

By on January 9, 2012 at 4:19pm in Fido News, Mobile News


Although a confirmed Fido release date of the Galaxy Nexus has not officially been announced, this internal doc states it’ll be available tomorrow. Late last week Samsung Canada said that Rogers, along with TELUS, will be releasing the Galaxy Nexus on the 13th… tomorrow would be much better.

The truth will unveil itself in a few hours.
(Thanks tipster!)

  7. Has anyone noticed in this memo it lists the outright price at $1000 to deter sales. Sounds kind of fishy to me. Over inflated prices for phones…lol. I love android but the lengths some companies go to in order to try to lock you in

  8. I didn’t reserve the phone through Rogers reservation system. So let’s say it does come out tomorrow will I still be able to walk into the store in the morning and be able to buy it (Hardware upgrade)?

  9. Quickly, Wind, quickly! I want my new phone! If they decide to release it after their Holiday Miracle Plan promo ends… I might flip a table!

  10. Ok so all I need to do is try to get a hold of a phone rep that is prepared to handle this tomorrow and is qualified enough to answer my questions without transferring me 17 times to “managers” and does not try BS me and change my plan, then spend all my Fido Dollars on HUP fees to make sure I renew for 3 years PLUS the remaining 5 months of my current contract, PLUS I keep the same crappy constraints my contract had 2.5 years ago when I signed it, and I probably wait a full week or so before I get my handset. Yayyyyy!

    The worst part about this is that I’m actually going to do this… At this point, no matter which provider you’re with, you’re getting screwed in one way or another so … *sigh*

    • It says that the price is set at $1000 in order to deter sales BEFORE the January 10th release date. So when it is released it will either be $600 or $650.

  15. I took in a number of Rogers (independent and Plus) locations in Calgary today (one North mall, one South mall) – they were either totally oblivious to the Nexus and it’s release date, or said they haven’t been given any word that they were being sent any. Got similar responses from Fido, but Telus reps were all prompt to say that they had at least five or more units for sale on Friday.

    In any case the point is mute for me, as Rogers says my Reserve is IN PROGRESS ;-P

  18. The 16GB 3G model has been sold for about $600 on other networks (Bell/Virgin) is it possible that this $1000 could be the 32GB LTE model?

  19. I love Fido. Its the only proven carrier that offers full smartphone discount on an unlimited plan. You can get the Galaxy Nexus fully subsidized and activate on CityFido on a reliable coast to coast network that actually works! Thanks Fido

  20. Is it just me or the Galaxy Nexus hasn’t been launched after all? No sign of it on the Fido website…

  23. I spoke with retention to 1) get a better plan (which I did!) and 2)confirm that the GN is now available. And it is.

    They can definitely place orders as I placed mine an hour ago or so and the guy could only tell me that “it would be shipped at the very latest on the 23rd but most likely it would be shipped way before that, as early as this week”. I told him I would like to go grab it now in stores but he told me that I could only go on Friday (13th) or, if I want to be certain to get it, next week (16-20th). I figured I would give the “by mail” option a shot.

    Price is as confirmed previously, 159,99$ on a 3 year term (plus HUP fee of 25$ if you’re upgrading early, fee that I could not get waived even if I begged and cried).

  29. OK I am disappointed how google is treating nexus s for ics update. No word and complete silence. Does stock android really mean any thing? What’s going on
