Galaxy Nexus Verizon with LTE press shots appear

No release date yet, but the Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus appears online and flaunts its LTE logo.

Galaxy Nexus with LTE (or Nexus Prime according to Best Buy) is not yet available here in the US, but it looks like the release date is near, well, because Verizon is already hiding some of the images of the new smartphone in the company’s official website according to a report posted by Phandroid.
The new images show the Verizon Wireless variant with the 4G LTE logo which signifies that the US variant will be the first to include the LTE or Long Term Evolution technology. In UK, the Galaxy Nexus variant includes HSPA+ or the similar technology used by AT&T and T-Mobile’s so-called “4G” network.
According to the report, the images were uncovered by a forum member in Verizon’s XML file so it is highly possible that Verizon is almost ready to display the new smartphone in its official website. The Galaxy Nexus is not yet officially listed in the carrier’s site, but the images indicate that the page is ready to be published.

Rumors say Verizon Wireless has decided to postpone the launch of the Galaxy Nexus due to the volume bug plaguing the new smartphone, and some have speculated that the Verizon variant is not yet available due to the lack of Adobe Flash support which is expected to arrive early this month.
Reports say Google has begun rolling out the software update to fix the issue, and according to Android Central, the bug fix over the air software update weighs under 1MB only, and doesn’t include new features. Meanwhile, Adobe Flash said in a blog post that the Flash 11 and Air software for the Android Ice Cream Sandwich are poised to arrive this month but will depend on Google and Samsung’s own development.
Greg DeMichillie, Adobe’s Senior Director of Product Management for Interactive Development wrote, “devices and software updates from our partners (Google and Samsung) which introduce new technologies are being developed on varied schedules that are different from our own, which means that the Adobe runtimes may not always be optimized or supported on devices until a subsequent release.” He also added that Adobe will provide a “minor update to the runtimes to support the Galaxy Nexus.”
