***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

[kyler13]

Make no mistake on this one, nothing Google can do will steal ANY thunder from Apple's announcement of the iPhone 5. I can't stand Apple, but I'm in a vast minority. People will get an iPhone 5 sight unseen, knowing nothing about what is improved over the 4. There will be long lines and waiting lists. It's just how it works. Remember the iPhone 4 video that went around last year, the one with the "big GBs"? It's reality.

We more tech savvy folks are the only ones who care about the specs, thus our interest in the NP. We are not the target of Apple's marketing, our non-tech friends and family are and they outnumber us.

Short of setting off a nuke, Google won't be able to steal Apple's thunder.

You vastly underestimate the importance of retaining or even gaining a slight market share by preempting an iPhone launch. This isn't about abandoned stores on launch day for the iPhone. Of course there will always be lines, but those folks also probably were in line a year ago for the iPhone 4. You're thinking in vague generalities. If the iPhone launch sales slide by a few %, that's a win, and you're NOT going to see that level of detail in the mass hysteria because those are the crazies that probably have 2 of everything with an apple on it in their homes.

I have read some of the Nostradamus prophecies and this is what I have found.

On the day from a far a man will discovered the Nexus Fed tabulator.
And on the next day a man named Sam with coke bottle eyes painted a picture of surprise.
Then when one moon goes by, there will be an armed forces day where Big Red will finally pay.

So what does this all mean? Armed Forces Day must mean Veteran's Day - 11/11/11. Sounds like a plausible release day to me.

Nexus Prime shows up in VZW Cellebrite system. interesting...

Nexus Prime, DROID HD, and HTC Vigor All Start to Appear in Cellebrite Systems - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Remember when the Incredible started showing up in Cellebrite? It was only a matter of weeks from those leaks when the phone was released.

I thought we were looking at 11/3. Then again, now that I look, the 3rd is a Monday. 11th is a Tues though. Shouldn't we be aiming for a Thurs?

 

[daygo718]

This looks pretty sexy! Hopefully it will look something like this!


Google Nexus Prime renderings appear accurate - SlashGear

This is an old render and I don't think it is very accurate. It has the capacitive buttons which the Prime should not have and the Prime is supposedly going to have a metal body. Looks good though.

Veteran's Day is Friday November 11th. Not sure how to interpret that poem.

someone over at HoFo just made an interesting point. the guy who was able to play with the D4/Maserati a little said that the D4 might take the Droid HD name, and not the Spyder. so, this entry in the CelleBrite could signal the D4, and not the Spyder/Droid RAZR/?? This would also make some sense given that the model number in CelleBrite is listed as XT912, when the Spyder is supposedly the XT910.

this doesn't have a whole lot to do with the Nexus Prime, other than to give an explanation as to how these pics may not be a complete hoax...

October 3 is a Monday - November 3 is a Thurs.

Added cellebrite to the OP, thank you, Trophynuts.

 

[kastleberg]

October 3 is a Monday - November 3 is a Thurs.

I was confusing my months. So the 3rd sounds more reasonable, right?

Very well put. I agree completely.

that was the date hinted at by the Panda poem. it's as "reasonable" as anyone else's guess.

 

[iowabowtech]

I'm concerned because it's being labeled the Nexus Prime.

It's either a hoax, the device is ACTUALLY called the Nexus Prime or Verizon is playing silly games with us

I'm with you on this. Verification or fake? Too tough to call. I THINK the Vigor was actually verified as the Vigor recently but as fast as the info is moving, I may be all wet.

Go Hawks.

 

[lennydude]

The name Nexus Prime ?????????????

A very recent Twit from P3..............

I know some do not like him but he does seem to have good info and is "connected" .............

P3Droid P3Droid



So who is getting the NP after seeing that application list? I know i will have one next to the bionic.

I saw that tweet, but I don't understand what he means by it. Droid HD?

They have accessories for the "Vigor" on their site. ....and I read an article today that referred to OUR PRIME as "mythical ".....I was not amused.....

Not sure either but when he writes "NP"............i get NEXUS PRIME from that?

Yeah, Lenny. That's what he means...at least that's how I'm reading it.

1.On Columbus day FCC will pass the nexus.(Oct.10th)
2.Sammy and Google will release pictures and spes.(Oct.11th)
3.On Veterans day, The Galaxy Nexus will be for sale at Verizon.(Nov.11th)

The above is all rumors and myths, Or maybe not.

Interesting. Sounds as reasonable as anything so far.

I do LOVE the render of the device from Slashgear. Icons, clock and Wallpaper look awesome together. Very nice looking handset.

Manufacturers should hire these companies to render them some prototypes . I love the fit and finish on this thing.
