When I go to the link in the article I get the famous "We're sorry, the document you requested is not available in your country." from the Play Store. I encounter this page so often it's not even funny anymore. Even worse, google keeps sending me emails about music albums in the Play Store and all the links in these emails show me this error.

I have the same problem. Although I fully expect to see this page (even though I click on those music e-mails every time hoping they suddenly unlocked it for us Canucks)

I get those e-mails because I signed up for Google Music via a US proxy and now have access to it but I imagine I'd need to go through a proxy every time if I wanted access to the Play Music store. Needless to say it would make me feel a little better if they'd announce some date as to when we can expect it.

Wow. I ordered an HTC One S a few days ago but it hasn't shipped yet. It was $549- $399 is a lower enough price that it is sorely tempting. And it's a Nexus device. The only issue I have is the size of the thing. Hmm. Are there any GNexus owners our there that can tell us about the size of the device? It's the one real sticking point I have with it. EDIT: For anyone else that's wondering, I looked up the refund polic…

Yes, the Galaxy Nexus is gigantic.

I'm also pondering getting an HTC One S.

Is this being sold at a loss? An unlocked 16GB iPhone 4S is costs $650. If not, I'm impressed at the price point Samsung is able to achieve given the Galaxy Nexus's feature parity with the iPhone 4S. Which begs the question, why not spend an extra ~$150 per unit to really blow it out of the water, specs wise?

Here's a link using a web proxy for those outside the US: http://www.uswebproxy.com/index.php?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9wbGF5Lmdvb2...

An HTTP _NOT_ S proxy, for those of you going too quickly on the sign-up page... ;)

Having an "S" wouldn't add much unless you really trust uswebproxy.com

And thus my paranoia about buying a new phone is justified - my 14 day "free to cancel" period with Verizon just ended, and now this is announced.

" The unlocked Galaxy Nexus requires GSM compatible service provider for voice calling. In the United States this includes AT&T and T-Mobile. Phones purchased from devices on Google Play are not compatible with Verizon or Sprint."
