Following up on Thursday’s UK launch of the Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Google has quietly modified the tech specs page for the forthcoming Verizon version of the phone to eliminate any mention of the previously confirmed 32GB version of the flagship Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone, with the page now only making mention of the 16GB version as seen below.

The quiet deletion of the 32GB version is a cause for concern, as the phone was expected to be available in both versions to accommodate different storage needs for customers and was initially announced during the launch of the phone last month.

As the phone does not include an additional microSD slot for additional storage, many are lamenting the deletion of the 32GB version, citing the 16GB version as too limiting for the price Verizon is asking for the phone post-agreement, compared to other options sold in the same line up, which include a microSD slot for additional storage.
