Watch Samsung Unpacked Nexus Prime Live on YouTube

According to the invitation that has been shared in many articles the Unpacked event will be held in a google flavor and may not occur on the traditional Unpacked channels indicating that the device is tuly a pure Google device.

The video is schduled to be live on YouTube.com/android on October 11 @ 11 to 11:30 AM Pacific from SanDiego CTIA Mobile Business Conference.

The event is called "Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2011 - Google Episode". The reason for the Google Episode is the release of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) version of Andoid OS.

Here is the teaser trailer by SamsungMobile.The phone is displayed in the inverted horizon.  

UPDATE 5: I give up trying to track this phone. Verizon has fouled up the release with what looks to be greed and proprietary turf wars. Here is a relative article: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/why-does-verizon-keep-delaying-the-galaxy-nexus/

At this time I have friends going from excited to disappointed. Some have done a 180 and bought an iPhone regardless of the lack of 4G and newer technology. They said they just wanted a reliable phone.  




UPDATE 3-4: "An inside source tells us the two have moved their plans for the Unpacked event to October 19th in Hong Kong (interested US residents should clear out the evening of Tuesday the 18th, time zones), timed to coincide with the AsiaD: All Things Digital event there next week. Naturally, we'll be in the house, but with not long to go before the potential date, we'd expect to hear something concrete soon". - engadget

UPDATE 2: Another Unpacked event is being planed for late October and rumors indicate the phone will be launched on November 3. FCC has also approved a non-Verizon (GSM) phone.


UPDATE: Google and Samsung have delayed the arrival of the next, much-anticipated Android smartphone, due to the passing of Steve Jobs.

In a statement today, the companies said they won't be showing off the upcoming device at the Samsung Unpacked event next week during CTIA as had been expected. They are looking for a "new date and venue" to unveil the smartphone, which has been dubbed both the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus Prime.

"We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product," the companies said in a statement. In a follow-up statement to CNET, a Samsung spokesperson said that Steve Jobs' recent death has prompted the decision.
