I'm as anxious as anyone for the GNex but am I the only one who is just going to patiently wait for it?
Good point.Seems like that would depend on the nature of the issue. Having phones already in the stores is no impediment to bug fixes than can be made with OTA updates. Further, if they were planning to start sales this week, they would need phones out to the stores.
Says who?How many times does it need to be said, Verizon will NOT release a phone on Black Friday. End of story.
But you're not gonna like it...
Anyway, long story short: According to my Source as well, Nexus has been delayed to 12/8
After some buttering up, my Source agreed to call me as SOON as (s)he knows the Launch Date for certain. And as soon as I know, you'll know.
Well, at least we'll far exceed the DInc thread in posts, if not views. That's small consolation for having to wait 2-1/2 more short weeks for a phone we've been following since it was first rumored for release mid-September as Prime.
Not sure who's right now: Hanette, who's saying this week? Or multiple sources citing 12/8?
I wish folks would learn to reply to the video posts by deleting the video from the reply. It would help the Mods keep the clutter down.
I'm willing to bet my soul that when the Nexus is released there will still be some bugs. Verizon is known for claiming to thoroughly test it's device's before releasing, yet every single phone I have ever owned from Verizon had some minor issues.
I think the bug issues is still an excuse, so if it's legit why hasn't Verizon announced that as being the case. The volume issue is a GSM issue for sure maybe it did or didn't effect the LTE ones who knows.
My thinking was they had all the hspa phone's built before the LTE ones so maybe by the time the LTE phone's were manufactured the problem was corrected.
I'm just speculating here...
As for slow widget updates, agree with previous poster - if from SD partition apps, that may be the problem due to access timing/order or if from a working app not updated for ICS yet, then it could be jumping through hoops that will go away on an update. I've seen similar on other phones for those two, fwiw.
Nothing should be affected by going through an authorized retailer.
Verizon should just announce that the phone comes out on February 29 and surprises us if they can get it out sooner.At this point, as pissed as I'd be about the delay, I'd be OK if they'd just announce the 8th. Just give me a date!
In a perverse way, the lack of an announcement could be interpreted as a hopeful sign, though. If V really wanted to release on the 8th, they have no reason (not that they need one) not to say so. Maybe they're not saying because there really is an issue they hope to resolve and release it sooner? Of course, it could also mean they don't even know if they'll make the 8th...
It's software, there's gonna be bugs.
I don't find this useful or funny at all. Feel free to hold back in the future. Geesh, mount a Slap button please!
The Engadget article clearly quotes Google as saying there is no SD partition (like on the Nexus S) on the Galaxy Nexus - so, I am withdrawing that claim.

I am so glad I finally took a look at this. OMG! THIS IS EPIC! lol

A. If I kept my customers in the dark like VZW does I would be out of business.
FYI -
You can NOT go through ANYONE else if your on a CORPORATE ACCOUNT. You have to go to a VZW store.
Yeah, I kinda agree, except the thread is moving so fast, the original is what, 5-6 pages back already? It is so great, it really deserves a spot on each page till everyone sees it.
So does this mean that every time you do a wipe to flash a ROM, everything will get erased?

1. Not funny. 2 I believe its against the rules. So please no more "joking" sources.
I found it to be appropriately humorous satire.
I must respectfully ask you to try not to be excessively butthurt. We're all exasperated, but direct your negativity towards those who really deserve it. Thank you.
I have a better idea.
I'm going to copy off the TheRoosevelt's, brad's and that post on the iPhone 5 / Nexus videos into a new fun thread - too priceless to lose!
