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

[Cam]

I actually ended up dropping my Blackberry in the water a few months back and was without a phone. Sis upgraded to a iphone 4 and gave me her old Blackberry. I'm stuck with the slow, ancient technology that RIM uses until Verizon releases the Nexus. Come on Verizon, end my suffering, lol.

I feel your pain. I'm rocking a 4+ year old BB 9000v1 with more issues than a 20 year old exotic dancer... It has taken a monumental act of willpower to continue waiting and not buy/rent a Razr or Rezound.

While we continue with in our ever increasing angst, can someone be so kind as to point out a couple of items for my to purchase on Amazon? I am looking for:

1.) The best screen protector for the Nexus.
2.) A USB flash drive adapter that will allow me to watch movies off a flash drive on my Nexus (preferably one with a cable that separates the flash drive from being in direct contact with the phone).

Thanks!

I could be wrong but I believe when he removed the search widget/app he still wasn't able to utilize that space for anything else. It just removes the search bar.

Exactly why Im certain LPP will be on my Nexus. At least at the beginning.

IIRC, paypass is supported in google wallet

MasterCard and mFoundry partner to offer NFC payments within mobile banking apps - Engadget

That would put a huge hole in the whole Isis agreement Verizon has... They would have to also block all the apps that use mFoundry in order to keep their monopoly.

look up the company SGP, they supposidely make the best screen protectors ever- different types depending on what you want/what your OCD in such as finger prints lol..Guess well have to wait for them to make them for SGN

In case anyone is curious or bothered by the fact that Verizon has included the two apps on the LTE Gnex

1.) The best screen protector for the Nexus.

Thanks!

Personally I will be using the same screen protector I've used for the past 2 years on my Android phone. It's never failed me. It's called AIR, and it's made by God.

+1, I do not believe in Sp's or cases for that matter. I like my phone sexy and naked..

I'm in the same boat. I've had a BB for two years and had to have it replaced three or four times, I've lost count. The thing is a piece of garbage. Part of the reason for my recent addiction to this thread is that I hate my BB sooo much. I waited from May to October for the Bionic to finally come out only to be severly disappointed. And now I wait for the Nexus.... ehhhh

So this was from a local forum thread that were were talking about Carrier IQ (of course)
This guy says he works in operations for VZW. He has contributed to many other threads about VZW and Google in the past as well.
Just thought I'd add to the conversation, take a close look at the "P.S."

I work in operations at VZW. Just awaiting on legal verbiage from our legal department. For now, what can be said is that it is NOT on VZW phones.

Pretty Cool. Know anything about the SGN???

Ummm.....yes I do.....no I can't say. What I can say is....it's worth the wait. Stay tuned, it will be soon.

P.S. It will make for a great Christmas present.

Also, Kellex just posted a pic of a supposed Verizon "test" message, although no other details about it were posted.

Maybe this is what Han's sister was referring to?

A hint: Apparently the forum software is super-smart and does it all for you. Just cut and past the URL, nothing more.

Thanks! While on probation I don't have an edit button, but then I didn't wanna do double-post. :*(

probably its as easy as naming a contact "900-080-004009" and having your friend text you saying the Nexus is ready for pre-order. someone should ask if thats legit or where that came from
