Ubuntu for Phone, has not been released to install in Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones yet. It has been rumored that it will be released towards the end of Feb 2013 as a developer platform. This means that it will not be 100% fully functional for general public yet.

Ubuntu for the Nexus 7 TABLET is available now. This is the Ubuntu Desktop version not for Gnex Phone.

  Be aware that Ubuntu on Nexus 7 is not yet stable. It is under heavy development and therefore is likely to have a lot of bugs and errors.

  Do you mean Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu for Android, or Ubuntu for phones?

@user118399: As we all now aware of the news for Official release of Ubuntu on phones and tabs in coming future. But there are users who have installed Ubuntu successfully, one of the user commented like this "I am now using Ubuntu 12.04 on my Samsung Slate 7 tablet. This is quite expensive, but it's because it's a notebook. i5 quad core, 4GB ram etc. The result is super-nice. Luckily, I had chances to install Linux on quite many tablets since 2003. Until now, Slate7 + Ubuntu 12.04 is the best." so its totally your call.

@user68186 True I will try to edit the answer so that it explain briefly. Thanks for the suggestion.

Note, your comment related to Samsung Slate 7 tablet does not apply to Galaxy Nexus, as the former is Intel i5 chip based tablet and the later is an ARM Cortex-A9 chip based phone.
