There has been an app making the news rounds lately that checks your Galaxy Nexus to see if it’s the Yakju codenamed device that is updated directly by Google.

If you’re a fan of Optus and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, you’ll be happy to know the two are now available as one — a beautiful partnership, I know. You can grab yourself a 16GB 3G model from Optus on their Optus Tablet Plans — if you want it for free you’re going to [...]

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 [...]

It’s almost here, guys. Samsung have notified the media (but not us..) that there is an event happening for the Galaxy Nexus on December 14th which is next Wednesday. There was no carrier directly mentioned with the invite so there will be no exclusive — an idea thrown around earlier on. We already know that [...]

In what has been a painful wait Optus finally confirmed (internally) that they are going to carry the Galaxy Nexus. Due in store on or around the 20th of December for FREE, that’s right FREE on the $79 Business Cap (24 month contract). If they hold true to previous form, the phone will be available [...]
