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

[HanSolo]

Whys that? Telling Verizon I want this phone is a bad idea?

No, it's a great idea. I just launched a huge "grass roots" campaign a couple hours ago that included emailing a bunch of Verizon people on their work-email addresses, which got deleted, which I got pissed about even though I said I didn't care.

So now I'm over it.

Having said that, if we do get Verizon'd on this and no Nexus comes, I'll be whining about how I tried and you guys stopped me.

I unfortunately have nothing more than what i just witnessed with my own two eyes ad proof, but Marni Walden did just confirm in an internal webcast the Galaxy Nexus will be carried on Verizon Wireless.

Awesome. Marni Walden is the Chief Marketing Officer there.

Crossing my fingers this is legit. Thanks for the post.

 

[Mate01]

Now, when will she come out and publicly calm the restless villagers?

If true, that sure was easy!

I'm trying to remember from the launch - did they say there were LED notifications? I think I remember seeing an LED that hides on the bottom of the screen? Does that sound familiar?

I really miss my LED notifications from the OG droid days! Not having one on my Charge has been really frustrating.

Yeah, there's a LED on the bottom, in the bezel below the screen.

I don't think it is. In the other reddit thread he was basically saying how gullible everyone is now he posts this and says he has no proof?

In my experience working for a big, public company, Those internal earnings reviews NEVER have info that wasn't given out in the earnings release and following earnings call. I checked the transcript, no dice (All iPhone, all the time, yuck). Not saying its not true, but still needs to be treated as a rumor. Thanks for the info though, rumors are what make this thread go around

Is that the same gal that was in some of the pics from the Razr announcement?

Awesome. Marni Walden is the Chief Marketing Officer there.

Ok good! I thought I was going crazy for a minute because no one else has really mentioned it in the forum or on blogs or well anywhere since the announcement to my knowledge. I thought people would be more excited about it!

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

Hans, is this "internal webcast" something your sister can confirm?

Awesome. Marni Walden is the Chief Marketing Officer there.

 

[The_Chief]

Yes Elle, it has an LED notification

Until I came to these forums I thought they were standard on all Android devices.

You should post that on his thread, see what he says. . . .

It's HAN, dammit.

And I sent her a text. She gets out early on Fridays so she might be out of work.

Verizon has been removed from the drop down menu on the Samsung sign up page

just contributed to the twitter bombardment, maybe another 25000 tweets and they will notice haha

 

[durangojim]

Just kidding!

The awesome thing about this kind of response is that at least one person's job at Verizon is almost undoable right now because they can't monitor @VerizonWireless for other support issues. Now yes, that sucks for folks needing non-Galaxy Nexus assistance, but that means that person is complaining to their boss, who is complaining to their boss, and so on.

It's the only good thing about Twitter I hate it otherwise.
