Galaxy Nexus Google page hints Verizon limited exclusivity

Google’s Nexus page shows “LTE or CDMA” for Galaxy Nexus (Prime), hints Verizon exclusivity for this year.

Verizon is the exclusive partner of Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus for this year? Well, that is highly possible based on the Google Galaxy Nexus page’s specs page (see Google.com/Nexus).
Apparently, rumors are circulating on the internet that other carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile may offer the device based on the FCC document posted last month hinting AT&T and T-Mo-friendly AWS bands, as well as the non-exclusivity drama involving the banner ad of Verizon. However, the Google page hints the possibility of Verizon’s limited exclusivity, and other carriers might just follow next year by offering the HSPA+ version, or the similar model being offered in UK. It is worth mentioning that the image provided by Google’s product page doesn’t include the 4G LTE logo of Verizon.
Speaking of United Kingdom, the Google.co.uk’s Galaxy Nexus page shows the 3G/EDGE/GPRS data technology which is the same network technology offered by AT&T and T-Mobile. Other Google sites like Australia, Hong Kong and Canada are not yet displaying the tech specs of the device, so it looks like the UK and US are the only markets that will get the phone this month.
Rumors say Verizon and Samsung will launch the device this month, packed with the faster LTE or Long Term Evolution data technology. Similar to the UK Galaxy Nexus, the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be the first Android smartphone with the new Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
For starters, the Android Ice Cream Sandwich is the latest and greatest Android upgrade yet, offering a new and more intuitive user interface, new built-in features like Face Unlock, new camera app with built-in photo editing software and support for Panoramic shots, polished contacts, gmail and messaging app, voice to text support, and more app friendly ecosystem which unites the Honeycomb (for tablets) and Gingerbread (for smartphones).
