While we still aren’t 100 percent sure on a date, Costco will carry the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. According to the above screenshot, they will sell the handset for $289.99. That is about what we would expect, as Verizon hasn’t been shy about moving past the once-standard $199.99 price tag, especially for handsets packing dual-core hardware and LTE support. Speaking of Verizon, that’s the only carrier listed for the Nexus in Costco’s systems. Are people still questioning a period of exclusivity?
Training materials have begun arriving for Verizon employees and the wording is plain and clear: Verizon will offer the Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE exclusively. The internal literature also covers the Motorola Droid RAZR and HTC Rezound, providing a nice comparison between Verizon’s big holiday handsets and the rest of Big Red’s lineup.
