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

[Steven58]

oh yeah... "try not to kill each other!"

 

[replica9000]

Unfortunately the reps only get their info a week in advance about the products, usually enough time to receive shipment, and setup displays I'm guessing... That's why they never seem to know anything...

They told me they usually get the accessories a week or two before the actual phone, and phones are usually released on a Thursday.

This is a pretty out-there question, but...
I put my phone in my pocket with the top of the phone pointing out of my pocket and the back of the phone against my leg.
Since the SGN has ports on the bottom and has a concave screen, does that mean I should start doing the exact opposite? lol

Doesn't matter, as long as it's on vvvvvibrate..............

 

[lovebyte21]

I had to. My OG droid literally doesn't work anymore.

I rented a razr from best buy (no restocking fee), so I'm just glad to have a working smartphone now.

I stopped by Best Buy tonight too. I was seriously thinking of also taking advantage of their extended return policy, but the salesperson said one thing that I hadn't thought about. If I return it after 14 days I will lose my $50 loyalty discount with Verizon. So I guess I'm waiting a bit longer.

So the BB guy told you that you had until jan 15th? I bought the rz today and was told I had until the 15th after I showed the policy to them, they had no clue about it... One of the fellas in the "rent a razr" thread mentioned that his local store told him that he had 14 days from time of activation.....?


If that is true, what exactly are my options of the gnex isn't out by day 14?

 

[Khatmandu]

Holy bejeebus.. I don't think the Incredible thread has a chance, we may pass them tomorrow if there is any sort of news - good or bad. Wasn't able to get on much the past couple of days due to travel and my DroidX being up to its usual tricks when it comes to this board. Like 2k posts a day.. I've got quite a bit of catching up to do it seems.

Do like the Best Buy Nexus Prime posters!

 

[mistermojorizi]

It is? It's still 9:20 PM here in Cali.

seriously 9pm is like prime time for internet use and everyone's going to bed after posting like crazy all day while we're actually getting things done.

 

[DrexelDragon]

Well we know some stores have already received and sold accessories last week so unless the Gnex releases this week then those theories aren't necessarily true..

 

[Grendil]

Well, I'm going to take a break from constantly checking this forum until next week. I honestly don't expect any good news soon, so why depress myself any further. The whole release of this phone has turned out to be a real downer.

All I can say, is I'd be very surprised if the Verizon phone does not have same issues the UK one is having now if we ever get it. But I wish good luck to Verizon with their "bug-fixing".

Galaxy Nexus Review - SlashGear

Pretty good with some videos-as if we already haven't seen enough of them but I can't stop watching them.

I'm confused as to why that video has "Verizon Video" in the search bar settings. It's not the verizon version....and why would someone install that?

I hope it is actually called the nexus prime now, I like that name so much more than galaxy nexus!

 

[atrayn22]

I hope you will add me as well Han. I admit to a bit of brown nosing here by linking to a post of mine a few pages back......

Count me in Han!

 

[Jonathan SCE]

I'm hearing that it will be released on Black Friday! As per a sales person @ Verizon. Hope this is true.

If this is true, I am either fighting my way through the crowds with a crowbar, or more likely, just wait until Saturday.

 

[sarxsvt]

Same. However I feel certain that Best Buy simply screwed up.

Its not going to be called the nexus prime, can we please stop the talk of that already.

 

[crt134]

Ok so this isn't about a release date per say but my sister actually had her hands on a Nexus today!

She works in a verizon call center as a technical support person and I guess they had a "roadshow" today where all the different manufactures had working models of all their newer phones. She said everuone wanted to see the Nexus so she didn't get much time with it but still cool. Im jealous!

Like a lot of people who have messed with it she said it just had that really cool wow factor (and she is a fruit person)

Pulling a BB here...

Hope so too! and welcome here.

i am going to wait till the 8th but if it is not 32 gig i leaving verizon

Welcome to the forum ptrenken but we are pretty sure it is 32GB.

Of course, there are exceptions, like in your case. My wife's Droid is doing the random calls/txts and hanging up on its own, so I hope hers can survive the wait. I was referring more to those like myself whose phones are functional but having to wait feels unbearable.

Are you rooted and if not have you tried a factory reset lately?

Good night fellow Nexlings.

Rest well

G'night peeps, play nice...

I knew it after seeing previous thanks hah lurker ; P

And we wish you good luck in staying in the race. Nothing wrong with bugging out if you so choose, but the more here the merrier

Sweet! What did she think of it (more specifically) ??

 

[yawdapaah]

Seems like this place got out of hand again lol. I peek in a 2/3 times a day in order to maintain my sanity.

Hope you're not too offended Han; I didn't even see that nastiness go down. I can't believe that'd happen in here (especially when WE'VE been pestering her, through you, for information).

Maybe less info is better; it'll give some of us a chance to cool down :|

Nice, coming from an Apple fan to b00t. Did you tell her of the sickness going on inside the AF to hold that very device?

 

[crt134]

Sweet! What did she think of it (more specifically) ??

Well like I said she only had it for a minute but she said out of the 3 new phones that was definitely her favorite (no big surprise I know), she said the screen looks amazing, and she really liked how it felt in her hand.

Nothing too earth shattering but a minute or so only allows so much haha she said everyone was so excited to try and get their hands on it

 

[rivera02]

Couple quick questions. Does the double data promotion end at the end of November, and is Verizon currently offering a port in credit? Thanks in advance!
