Rumor: Galaxy Nexus Coming to Verizon November 10th for an Ouchie $300You ready with your grains of salt? Good, because a supposedly leaked document from Verizon has pegged the much-anticipated Galaxy Nexus to launch on November 10th. That's the good news. The bad news is that it'll run you 300 bones.

The Galaxy Nexus has been the most eagerly await phone next to the iPhone 4S. Rumored to have a ginormo 4.6 inch screen with 1280 x 720 pixels, a 1.2GHz dual-core (hopefully Exynos) processor, and of course, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, this is something we really want to get our hands on. The $300 price tag stings, but if it's as good as we hope it will be, I'm sure it'll do just fine. We've already seen some video leak (though it's likely that that's an early build), and we know that the official announcement is coming from Google/Samsung via a streamed event in South Korea tomorrow at 10pm.

Bundled into this like is the HTC Rezound (which we've previously heard called the HTC Vigor). The story here is that it's got a 4.3 inch screen at 1280x720 pixels, which gives it a higher pixel density than the iPhone 4S's retina display (341ppi vs 326ppi). It's also rumored to have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and audio from Beats by Dre. This thing has Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) with HTC Sense 3.5, though, which next to the new hotness of Ice Cream Sandwich, just isn't that exciting. Couple that with the same $300 sticker price, and they're going to have trouble selling this thing next to the Nexus. [Engadget]
