Galaxy Nexus Shows Up at Amazon as “Samsung Galaxy S II Nexus Prime 4G”

Rumors about the upcoming release of the Galaxy Nexus at Verizon Wireless have come and gone, but the carrier has yet to confirm the smartphone's official launch date.

However, it appears that one of Best Buy ads leaked earlier today reveals a new naming scheme for Verizon's version of Galaxy Nexus - “Nexus Prime.”

It looks like Amazon confirms the “Nexus Prime,” as Amazon is the second major retailer that prepares for the upcoming release of the Galaxy Nexus.

In this regard, the phone is now listed as “Samsung Galaxy S II Nexus Prime 4G,” but hopefully will be adjusted to reflect the correct name of the device.

There are no details on the phone's exact release date or price options, but the device shows up as backordered with a shipping time frame of 1 to 2 weeks.
