We're pretty sure it's coming. We've known about it for months and it looks like its announcement is just around the corner. And attempting to steal some thunder away from the somewhat disappointing iPhone 4S unveiling is Samsung, which just released a teaser for its Nexus SuperPhone. Yes, something big is coming.
The relationship between Apple and Samsung is getting more and more sour by the day and the timing of this teaser furthers that sourness. The Samsung Unpacked event is set to take place next week in San Diego and it is there that we assume the Nexus Prime will be revealed. The teaser video really tells us nothing other than some things go well together and, based on the final image, the Mobile Phone will have a similarly curvaceous screen as the Nexus S it follows.
Tech Crunch is reporting that the Galaxy Nexus may be a Verizon exclusive, at least for the time being when it launches October 11. Luckily it will run on Ice Cream Sandwich which will be able to reportedly able to track data use on an app-by-app basis.
Following the rumors, we can expect the Samsung Google Nexus Mobile Phones (which might be called the Galaxy Prime or Galaxy Nexus) to be the first smartphone with Android 2.4, an OS that marries the smartphone-centric Gingerbread with the tablet-friendly Honeycomb. We're also hearing about a dual core 1.5GHz processor and plenty of other heavy-hitting horsepower, but just like the iPhone rumors leading up to yesterday's event, they're just rumors for the Nexus Prime too.

Mobile Phones: Google's next 'SuperPhone'
The follow up to Google's SmartPhone will be built by partner Motorola, the company's chief executive has confirmed. By Martin James, 29 Jan 2010 at 12:00
Motorola has confirmed that it is working with Google to develop a follow-up to the Nexus One smartphone.
The Nexus One was launched at the start of the year under Google's name, but Open Handset Alliance (OHA) partner HTC made the hardware. At the time, Google promised the Nexus Mobile Phone would be the first of many Google-branded Android phones, and said it would be working with other OHA partners in the future.
Motorola's chief executive Sanjay Jha confirmed yesterday that his company was first in line. During an earnings call to discuss the firm's latest financial results, Jha repeated the firm's commitment to produce 20 new smartphones in 2010, including "one direct-to-consumer device with Google".
Speculation has been rumbling on over who would partner Google to develop the Nexus Two - if that is what it will be called - with Motorola's name always near or at the top of the list.
Those rumors have only increased with the leak of a new Motorola smartphone dubbed the Shadow, which many believe will in fact end up being released as the Nexus Two. The Shadow is reported to be just 9mm thick, and has a large touch screen, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and the ability to capture video in full HD.
Either way, the Motorola-made handset will be sold by Google itself through its new online store as with the Google Phone, bypassing the networks to offer the phone directly to the consumer.
Mobile Phones: Nexus One vs iPhone 3GS 
The Google Nexus One is Google's first foray into the smartphone arena, but how does it compare to Apple's iPhone 3GS, the current touchscreen favorite? We put the two devices head to head.
There's been anticipation surrounding Google's entry into the smartphone race for quite some time and now the Nexus One is here. This has led to some Apple-hating critics claiming (or rather hoping) it'll beat the seemingly unbeatable.
Although Google's Android OS has seen a boom in the past year, the iPhone has still stormed ahead, grasping as much of the market as it possibly can. But as we all know, it takes more than just a good platform to make or break a phone's success. We pit the Google Nexus One and Apple iPhone 3GS against each other for comparison. Apple iPhone 4GS?
