The Galaxy S4 has been launched on other carriers for a few weeks now, and is finally making its way to Verizon.

Originally slated for a May 30th release, the S4 has now been announced to be available both in-store and online starting May 23rd, a week sooner. To many this is a relief, to most, it's still a few weeks too late. Below you will find the updated press release info, along with some links.
Something interesting to note though, the Verizon website still shows the device as shipping on May 30th, not the 23rd. Is this a mistake on Verizon's part? Or is there a big inconsistency there?

UPDATE - Monday, May 13: The Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available for purchase online and in Verizon Wireless Stores starting May 23.
The Samsung Galaxy S® 4 is now available for pre-order online for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. The smartphone will be available for purchase online and in Verizon Wireless stores starting May 30.
The Galaxy S 4 introduces new photo features like Dual Shot, paired with a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera to take professional looking photographs. Dual Shot allows the use of both the rear and front facing cameras at the same time and lets phone users to include themselves in pictures or videos.
The Galaxy S 4 is Global Ready and can travel overseas with anyone, but the software may make it an essential item for the world traveler. S Translator™ operates as a multilingual pocket dictionary native to the phone, translating words and phrases when typed or spoken into the app.
Other apps on the Galaxy S 4 include WatchON™, which turns the smartphone into a home entertainment remote and personal TV guide. Air View™ and Air Gesture let users interact with their smartphone without even touching it. Hovering a finger over the screen lets users preview emails and waving a hand over the phone can scroll up and down a webpage.
