Telstra customers will be the first in Australia to get their hands on the Galaxy Nexus (through a carrier) when it goes on sale at their new Androidland store in Melbourne and Telstra Store in Sydney’s CBD — [...]

Well hello there random YouTube video from Telstra mentioning the combination of Ice Cream and Android coming soon to the nations biggest carrier.

With Optus and Virgin both unveiling price, I have been given information that I believe to be relatively on the ball and reliable. The information comes from within Samsung and relates to availability of the Galaxy Nexus upon launch, which is looking to be the 20th of December. It basically says, don’t hold your breath [...]

Virgin are launching the handset $0 on the Fair Go plan, which entitles the customer to $700 of calls and text and 3GB of data on a 24 month contract. Considering Optus are launching on the $79 Cap, [...]
