Verizon's Galaxy S4 sign-up page is finally live (stylekhmer7@gmail.com)

Verizon's Samsung Galaxy S4 page is finally live, giving America's largest wireless carrier a way for folks to get in line for what's been the most anticipated new phone of this year so far.


Earlier in the week, Verizon Wireless tweeted that the GS4 would be hitting its 4G LTE network in May and promised that more details would soon be forthcoming.

The sign up page that went live this week on the Verizon Wireless site doesn't offer any of those details, it's just a place to enter your e-mail and thereby consent to being spammed by the carrier about all things Samsung.

Being the big dog on the wireless block, Verizon apparently doesn't feel a need to be first with what's expected to be a pretty hot new phone. Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile will have the Galaxy S4 in stores later this month, and AT&T has already been taking pre-orders for a few days now.

No word yet on pricing from Verizon either, but it's likely to be in the range offered by its competitors, which includes a $149 promotion for some new Sprint customers that bring their old number over to the carrier, on up to the full retail price of $639.
