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

[woodraskam]

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.

Yeah, until it gets pushed back....AGAIN

 

[jkc120]

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.

But apparently they didn't account for VZW testing and VZW found a bug or is pushing crapware like cityID to be on the phone.

 

[HanSolo]

Ugh, Phil at AC just said this

Uh oh!

Just put in another text to my sister.

Will report back when I hear something.

I've been telling myself that for the past month Mr. D Inc 2!

Yeah, at this point I'm not holding my breath. I'm starting to wonder if we'll even see it by Christmas at this point.

You've got to be kidding me....ugh.

When Hannette speaks Android Forums listens!

Uh oh!

From Phil:

It gets better. Apparently the sticking point is one of those two piece of VZW software they're adding.

Go figure, right?

Bloatware causing delays...you don't say!

ok guys, i have finally reached a point that i have rode this roller coaster long enough for now, to the point where its making me want the phone less and less. i will chat with you all on monday, until then, happy hunting for news

 

[hgray]

That's what I figured. :-/

Definitely voting for a political swerve on his part. Still think it'll be here within a week. Maybe not Monday, but within a week.

 

[OfTheDamned]

Well, I'm off to get the kids from school.


On the bright side:

Even if it is pushed back, at least the phone should be bug free when we get it.

TRUST ME, it is worth the wait.

Plus we have more time to make this thread just that much larger.

Don't get down and be nice to each other. I'll be back on later.

I freaking KNEW it. No surprise at all. VZW, you suck.

 

[sweatyBeef]

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.

Not only does it say SAMSUNG NEXUS
it also has its model number SCHI515. i have never seen it with a capital "I"
shouldn't it be SCH i515? Im not sure if lower case letters mean anything.
just my thoughts.
trying to be optimistic and prove this wrong. haha

 

[statepenn03]

If Verizon had gotten an LTE version of the Galaxy S II I have a feeling a lot of us wouldn't be here and would be very happy with our phones right now.

 

[BoozeRob]

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.

Phil Nickinson 05:15 PM Today It gets better. Apparently the sticking point is one of those two piece of VZW software they're adding.

Go figure, right?


EDIT: 7th!!!!!

 

[SolidOrange]

thank you guys for making me feel normal all day, no one else i know wants to hear me talk about this phone any more.

gotta go do SOMETHING productive for a few hours, looking forward to 40K posts by the time i get back!

 

[kastleberg]

The day started off so well, so positive. Now it's back to mania. Oh well, it was fun this morning. I will remain positive about Monday because, well, it just makes this weekend better. As opposed to sitting around stewing about how it could be another couple weeks. Stupid VZW.

From Phil:

If the only issue is My VZW app and Backup Assistant - then I really don't care that much about whether they're on the phone or not, I'd rather have it sooner than later if those two apps are the only points of contention. They're hardly bloatware in the recent sense of the word.

 

[The_Chief]

No way are they delaying this over software issues.

They would have to open every box, fire up every Nexus, and update each one of... how many? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?

Any hiccup can be fixed upon activation with an OTA.


RELEASE THE PHONE, VERIZON!

I'm not happy about this at all. Samsung and Google indicated it was ready and there were no software/hardware issues. Verizon decides to put their crapware on the phone and can't make it work right (or is pushing for more crapware). If they weren't putting this crap on the phone, we'd all have them by now!

I swear at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if VZW forced google to somehow lock the phone down or lock the bootloader/etc.

 

[woodraskam]

Right, or if they said today, Dec. 8th....I'd be happy. Holding your customers hostage with a release date is an infuratiang tactic.

 

[mountainman34]

I'm not buying the 12/8 date at all. The sources are iffy at best and the screenshots we have seen are sketchy.

The first screenshot looked to be an in-store advertising schedule that also listed the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, both of which have already launched so the dates on that schedule mean nothing in regards to device launch dates IMO.

The second screenshot is...well, just look at it. Could have been typed up in 5 minutes by some troll looking to get rise.

Also, I don't buy a word P3Droid says...he just needed something to get attention on him again. Panda aka Black Man X, who I tend to trust more than others, has maintained that Google and Samsung have done their part with the Nexus as far as delivering the devices in accordance to the agreement with VZW. The release at this point is 100% up to VZW (according to Panda), so I don't believe P3Droid's line about not being supply in the US.

This is just my interpretation on the info we have from good sources so take it as you will!

 

[EKG]

Well I was a little disappointed when people started saying this Monday for the release because I just bought a RAZR, but figured oh well, I can return it no big deal. But now, if the December rumors are true (which I don't believe), then I am glad that I made the jump to the RAZR when I did.
