The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android smartphone to hit the market. Experience the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with 4.65 HD Super AMOLED^TM screen and optimized for Google+.

This has been one of the most highly anticipated smartphone releases since the iPhone 4S (which many thought would be the iPhone5).

The Verge reported that Amazon Wireless has a Galaxy Nexus offer of a $199.99 takeaway price, but the product is backordered eight to nine days.
