Contract pricing for Google\u2019s<\/a> flagship Android<\/a> device, the Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus, has emerged and Vodacom<\/a> have confirmed that the smartphone did launch last week as they said it would.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t entirely clear which stores the device was launched in as the Samsung<\/a> branded store in Vodacom World had very limited supplies last week Friday (24 February 2012). No other shops in the Vodacom-branded mall had stock.<\/p>\n

However, Vodacom shops did have pricing information on Saturday and are able to take orders, though stock is expected to take a minimum of three working days to arrive.<\/p>\n

Vodacom also provided an update on the launch special it is planning to offer.<\/p>\n

Previously the red network said they would launch a contract that includes 100MB of data for R279 per month.<\/p>\n

This deal is to cost R299 per month now, and 100MB of data is only given for the first three months of the 24-month contract.<\/p>\n

The recommended cash price of the device is R6,999.<\/p>\n

The data for the following table was taken from a Vodacom Shop price list and shows the regular deals Vodacom is offering the device on.<\/p>\n
