Battery life on your Samsung Galaxy Nexus got you down? Well we have a deal for you. Verizon is currently offering standard Galaxy Nexus 1850mAH batteries with NFC for half off regular price. For a limited time only, you can grab that spare battery you know you’re going to need, for a mere $19.99.

There was no apology or link on who to talk to about a possible credit, but did I really expect one — no.


Only Best Buy would advertise a device yet announced. They continue their reign of advertising blunders by offering up 5000 bonus reward points for purchasing an unannounced and unavailable Motorola DROID 4.
