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

[DucatiDude]

yeah, I'm leaving Sprint for this phone. I got lots of Android love.

 

[nexusprimepls]

Wow, thanks! I just got a tracking number, and it actually won't be here til Friday (the VP I talked to said that might be a possibility because he didn't know if FedEx had picked up stuff already).

I'll let you know if I have the same problem. I really appreciate it.

Hopefully I won't need to keep it for very long, though.

I hope so as well, but if the signal bar seems to jump like crazy, just PM me and I will send it out Saturday for you.

Merging with existing pre-release thread.

 

[BigRedNole]

Yeah, this was a bit funny. It is on an iPhone and on the Sprint network. I am calling Shenanigans.

https://market.android.com/music is officially launched.

I already bought a song!

Typical. I noticed you always have music blaring when you'e testing cars on Top Gear.

I received a phone calk from Verizon's executive offices today, pretty much the same answer everyone else is reported. I can't believe she wasn't aware of the extended return policy or the Nexus email option on Verizon. Talk about not letting your left hand know what your right hand is doing!

Take this left hand/right hand stuff and apply to the WHOLE huge entity that is Verizon and think what your bill could be while they still made good money!

Well it seems the event has come and passed without a single mention of anything GNex-related. Bummer.

I'm sure we were all hoping for a surprise announcement about the Nexus.

Oh well. Soon. Very soon.

Quick question about video playback capabilities we'll see in ICS or newer phones. Do you guys think it'll be capable of playing back 720p mp4 (h264+aac) or mkv (h264+ac3) video files? I would love to be able to throw full 720p MKV rips of my blurays onto my phone when traveling if it has a 720p screen. So just curious if you guys think it'll have enough horsepower to playback this sort of media.

Does anyone else find it extremely annoying that when you do a search on Verizon for "Nexus" it pretends that you typed "Droid" and highlights that in the search results?

 

[The_Chief]

I know an executive at Verizon who's getting me the GN the second it comes out. I left him a voicemail yesterday because I heard, as everyone else, that it should be out tomorrow or Friday. Well....this is his response:

Ah well... there's always Monday...

So what was the 'something extra' that Google typically includes with these dog and pony shows?

I saw that earlier too. I thought it was strange that they put a DROID 2 at the top of my search results, then the Nexus S directly after, but the RAZR was nowhere to be found in those results. However the gigantic banner ad that blocked everything on my screen, was full of DROID RAZR propaganda.

I see a big banner for Galaxy Nexus, but yeah the first 4 links on the page are for 1. Bionic (rofl), 2. razr, 3. Bionic AGAIN (wtf?) and 4. Droid charge

...new guy to the forum... I have been waiting for the Nexus like the rest of you but,
I held a Rezound today in the store. Excellent 720p display. Not as big in the hand as I thought it was going to feel. It actually felt really nice in my hand. Nice design. 1.5 dual core. 8 mp camera.
Hate to say it but I might not be able to hold on much longer... Somebody slap me and talk me back down...

Will do. Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum Puchkey.... now put that R-phone down and wait with us! I mean, you came into the forum for a reason, right? Join our merry crew as we sprint these last few days together towards a glorious launch experience!

 

[Cam]

Uh, why is this in the Root forum now?

OK, who screwed up the thread and moved it into the Root section?
