Galaxy Nexus to go on sale 9th December?

There has been a lot of rumors surrounding when the Galaxy Nexus will be launched on Verizon, although the latest rumor seems to suggest an 8th of December release. However if the above screenshot of an email is to be believed, it looks like the 8th of December date may not be so far fetched after all as the email as stated that the Galaxy Nexus cannot be display or sold till Friday, the 9th of December.

It seems that this email is some sort of official email from Samsung to their merchants although we guess we can’t really authenticate it for ourselves. However given that Verizon has already started selling accessories for the Galaxy Nexus, it’s not hard to imagine that an official launch is too far away. Considering that the 8th/9th of December is only in a few days time, we’ll wait until we actually hear/see something before we get too excited and ahead of ourselves.
