Update: WIND puts Galaxy Nexus as “coming soon”
Late last week we reached out to WIND Mobile to see if they would be releasing the Samsung Galaxy Nexus – the answer was emphatically “Yes”. Today the carrier has listed the delicious Android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich dream is on their site as “coming soon”, but no confirmed date or prices. They do give you the opportunity to register for updates, but a quick search on their site reveal what could be the no-contract price. It’s listed for $649 outright.
Update: WIND send an email to me stating the following: “the price that you’ve included is incorrect. It was an error in the relevant field that led to the search result showing the $649 price. We haven’t confirmed or released the official price (which is why it’s not included on the listing for the phone itself).”
More at WIND here and here.
(Thanks Justin!)

You are either the most dedicated troll I have ever seen, or have the sweetest job in the world. I’m not sure which.
$650 outright. Same price as Bell. Interesting.

I think I’d rather go with the Amaze.

For those who seemingly down mod me for liking a different phone:
I need more than 32GB storage space (curently I have a galaxy S vibrant, and my 32gb sd card is near capacity). So the lack of an SD slot is a showstopper for me.
But beyond that, the GN will have similar performance to the Amaze. The screen is nicer. But the Amaze will be getting ICS so I don’t see a huge advantage for the GN.

Does that mean the Nexus S will have a price cut, closer to about $300?
Yeah, $650 is the most expensive smartphone released by WIND yet. Not sure what the WINDtab+ pricing will be like, considering the HTC Amaze is currently $250 with a contract.

$300? Mobilicity’s already selling the Nexus S for $280 new and $260 open box…

Im pretty sure it will be $249 and a $400 Wind tab+, which would make it similar to the Amaze which has a $249 price with a $320 Wind tab+

Actual value coming out from one’s pocket is $733.37
$649 + 13% HST = Way too much

Rocco, you remind me of this slightly handicapped teen I went to high school with that called people jabroni because the most intelligent program he could watch on TV was the WWE.
If you don’t like the nexus with no warrant plan, fine, but shut up about it already.

I figure out why $1000.00 price tag. it is to deter customers from asking for the phone prior to release date. if you read FIDO Galaxy nexus release announcement, you will see what I mean.

Can you say Overpriced? The price for me is just unacceptable considering some of the GN’s specs. Much better phones are just around the corner also… (I know that’s always the case, but with CES and that other event in Feb, I find it REALLY hard to be impressed by this phone).

Well, the Holiday Miracle plan is now lasting until the 15th of January.
With that great plan and the savings that you get compared to the plans available from the Big 3, I’d say $650 isn’t too bad. However, as other people have mentioned, there are better phones already out and more just around the corner, I think a $600 launch price would be better.

For those of you screaming about lack of value vs. other phones don’t forget it’s a Pentaband Phone so you’ll be able to use it on any carrier if you wish to leave either WIND or Canada. How many other phones that are out or coming soon have that amazing feature?

Brad has a good point BUT who really wants to be on wind anyways. I have yet to take my rogers phone NOT work someplace while I can not say the same for my wind one. Mind you the roaming is touch and go at best. And the warranty.. well thats a non starter. pay all that money and get treated like uncle swaries 4th wife? the ugly one.. ok they are all ugly and look like camels.. better service from the big 3 and wind was supposed to surpass them all.. ha!

No fucko. It’s the cost of the handset. Keep in mind, that also comes with A L L – U – C A N E A T voice and data. Try that with the big 3 ya douchenozzle.

Bye Bye Telus…You took away my unlimited internet back in the day and you increased my prices during my contract(fine print)We have been together just over 10 years. I’m leaving this abusive relationship..
Wind works great and 25 cent roaming in North America is sweet..
There $40.00 Holiday Miracle Plan, which has been now extended to Feb 1, 2012 with unlimited Canada/U.S calling, unlimited global text, unlimited data, plus more, and my Blackberry Bold 9900 is not bad for $169…total $199.00

By world standards Wind is still very exspensive.Seems in Canada competition has done little to bring prices down.
