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

[VJKotts]

Have a question.

I am currently renting a RZR. If the GNEx comes out on Monday for online purchase only, How will I be able to return this?

They have an attachment open in gmail.

So, they might have been sent this by someone at V and they opened it up on their home pc.

Why take a picture of something on your own computer? Print Screen button broke?

 

[woodraskam]

So no new positive news today huh??

Yeah there's been news. RIght now it's either 11/18, 11/21, 11/23, 11/25, 11/28, 12/1 or 12/8. We've really narrowed it down.

*All subject to change of course

Here's the image for those that don't want to click on the link.

That is supposed to be gmail, but it just doesn't look like gmail.

When you open up an image attachment in gmail, that's what it'll look like.

I have Nexucussion Syndrome - brain damage from being struck on the back of one's head by a neglected spouse.

Well then I suggest you go un-neglect her. We'll be here when you get back. Don't worry, we'll be here.

Dec 8 makes no sense people.
Use logic and find the truth based on all the CREDIBLE info we have.

Marius Duarte explicitly said that it would release in November ("On The Verge"). So yeah, not December 8th.

I asked a bunch of pages back, but are we sure he was referring to the VZW/LTE Nexus and not the GSM one?

What if it was taken over somebody's shoulder on a camera phone?

Today I stopped in at my local Corporate Verizon store, partially to look at the Rezound, but mostly to try and get info on the Galaxy Nexus. As for the rezound, it ha some pretty animation but it really didn't do it for me, I liked the Razr better but I am still set on the Nexus. As for information on the Nexus I got a response that they did not know for sure but had been hearing Black Friday as a release.
I then went across the street to Best Buy and tried to get information there. When I asked about the Galaxy Nexus I got perplexed look and a response of "On Verizon?" The rep then went to his computer where he tried without success to look it up. When he could not find anything he said that if if anybody knew anything it would be this other associate there. When the other associate was asked about it he said they had no information and that it was a,

"SOUPED UP VERSION OF THE GALAXY".

the response kind undermined my faith in anything they might say about phones.

So I'm sitting in the barbershop......some Guy next to me sits down with a Verizon shirt on so I get to talking hhe said eeveryone at Verizon is dying to get the pphone as well. He also said it was due to release the 13 th but they pushed it back because of the rezound. Now he said he's hearing at work 2 nd week of Dec.... just passing it alongalong

Just walk in the store and return it, borrow a phone to tide you over

 

[BabyBlues]

I love you all. You make me realize that I am not the only one sitting here obsessively refreshing and commenting and picking stuff apart.

I'm out like the fat kid in dodgeball

Spoiler

I can say that cause i WAS the fat kid in dodgeball

See you all later!

 

[snowquest]

Hopefully BS created to "support" the 12/8 rumor. At least I hope so...

Hopefully!

 

[keegan1014]

That's tricky. You'll have to return it to the store (I assume that's where you bought it), and ask them to call customer care so that your upgrade status can be adjusted back.

Then either ask the rep to order it for you online, or run like hell back to your house and order it.

But make sure the upgrade status is readjusted back. And hope that the SGN isn't sold out soon.

Did he say it will launch on Verizon in November? I honestly can't remember. If he didn't then I would vote he was just being vague and politically hoping around the question. He's gotta protect his career...

 

[OfTheDamned]

Another problem with the picture... It says Samsung Nexus. Not Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

It also says that accessories will be shipping this week, but some stores already have them. I wonder what the date on this is.

 

[Mooem]

Ugh, Phil at AC just said this

Yeah, uh, so you're not going to believe this ...

Remember how I said Verizon hadn't yet made up its mind, and even was going back and forth as of yesterday?

Yeah ... You know where this is going.

Sorry, guys, but apparently they're now citing software problems, and next week's looking far less likely.

And I go back to trying to justify importing $900 worth of smartphone. :-/

I asked a bunch of pages back, but are we sure he was referring to the VZW/LTE Nexus and not the GSM one?

Yeah, that must be ATT. That's definitely GSM.

 

[Kaddoble]

Josh Topolsky asked him (roughly) "When can we buy this thing on Verizon?"
Duarte said: "This month"
Topolsky: "Specific date?"
Duarte: "I don't want to steal our partner's [Verizon's] thunder."

Seems pretty clear cut I recon.

 

[Interestingman]

Well, folks, I love you all, but I'm going off to the grid for the weekend. I'll check back Sunday night and hope for better news. Have a great one!

 

[brain85]

Alright yeah...I'm with phil. Where's the link to buy an unlocked version? AT&T here I come.

 

[HanSolo]

Guys, even if 12/8 does come true, that's only like 2 1/2 weeks more of a wait. That's nothing!

What, a pay period?

We'll have this bad boy in our hands in no time.

I know Josh was talking about the Verizon version, so the context of the convo was on the VZW version, however he never explicity said verizon.

 

[jkc120]

Ugh, Phil at AC just said this

ARGH. These "software" problems are probably VZW trying to force google to put more crapware on there.

Sigh...this is such a total failure on VZW's side. They have done a bang up job of botching this release.
