Mobilicity Sets February 6th for the Galaxy Nexus
The release date
The Galaxy Nexus had been getting a lot of attention as it reached all the major carriers. Mobilicity then listed February 6th as its launch day. Wind Mobile had no date yet and only said the phone was coming soon, though some expected it to arrive at the same time.
The plan timing problem
Mobilicity had recently introduced a $40 Super Savings Plan as a limited-time promotion. The phone arrived one day after that plan ended, so new buyers could not combine the two. That was the disappointing part of an otherwise welcome announcement. Both the plan price and the dates are historical.
Why people were waiting
- The Galaxy Nexus was a flagship Google phone with a lot of buzz.
- Smaller Canadian carriers had been slower to get it than the major ones.
- A firm date gave waiting customers something to plan around.
Status today
Mobilicity and the Galaxy Nexus are both long gone, and the offer no longer exists.
