This unboxing is quite unlike the others, though. Instead of watching an awesome video of [...]

We’ve received more than a few tips that users are experiencing signal issues with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I can’t personally verify the claims — I have yet to take my Nexus outside of a 4G zone  – but based on a recent tweet from Verizon’s support account it does appear that something isn’t quite right.
