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

[BabyBlues]

Greetings all,

Been lurking since about the 20k post count. I haven't posted till now because I had nothing to contribute, and realistically I don't now either. But to follow a thread this big and not at least get my name on it seemed like a disservice to myself.

I did call my local Verizon store to see if I could glean any information using my excellent persuasive skills and charm.

Me: Hi, I was wondering if you have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in stock?
Female sales associate: No the phone hasn't launched yet.
Me: Oh, when will it be launching?
Female sales associate: I do not know, sir.
Me: Alright, thank you.

It was like talking to a robot.

I was hoping to have the GNex over Thanksgiving so I could be messing with it instead of interacting with extended family. Now I have no excuse considering my Eris is barely usable. Damn you Verizon for forcing me into conversation with these crazy people!

Welcome to chaos!

I know that calling in and asking verizon employees doesn't really get us any new information, and I wouldn't suggest calling in if that's your only reason for calling. BUT, if you are calling in, it never hurts to ask, and it's good to let Verizon know (even if it's at the lowest level) that there is a big interest in this phone.

It's possible that this information doesn't get passed to the powers that be, but it's possible it will get passed on too.

Some progress!! Google Nexus website updated with full LTE specs and info. We're getting closer..... Galaxy Nexus And note, it's not that much thicker than the S2, and still a little thinner then my Droid X.

Ugh you gave me hope. That is old news.

this phone looks worse and worse every day

Legitimate question here....has anyone seen or heard what the camera's lens aperture is on the Nexus??

 

[john30308]

Really?? Sorry. Also noticed that it's 16G only (no 32G) and the battery is HUGE at 1850mAh.

 

[atrayn22]

Probably old news but this makes 32 GB more hopeful...if it's even real.

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.

Man...

If that would have happened I wouldn't have caught Roosevelt's awesome video since I didn't catch the OP. I say leave 'em. If the mods need them removed due to clutter I'm sure they would say so.

Galaxy Nexus owners complain of odd volume bug | The Verge

Yeah that has been around all day. Seems to be an issue with the band of the phone, so I will most likely be affected as I will be getting 2G signal for about 80% of my time on o2, but I will let you guys know. Either way I usually have my phone on silent, and that is what the vibrate and LED are for. Software update will most likely fix it!

Hey, with a greatest video hits, it just begs for a greatest post hits thread as well.

I don't know about cameras... But seems like a while back I read 2.75, if that even makes sense

I'm sad to report that I'm about through worrying with the Nexus. For such a flagship phone, it seems to be having more than its share of issues already. I don't want another Thunderbolt-like phone that I end up needing to return. I'm certainly gonna step out if the launch day line and watch a few weeks. The Galaxy S III might replace the Nexus on my wishlist.

The ReZound comes in at 2.2 which is quite good for a phone camera. When you go to try it out at stores it really shows too. You can shoot indoors with little to no blur. 2.75 sounds to be in the right range, but I'm not sure. 2.2 is definitely better than 2.75 but if that is the case, it isn't bad.

Also wondering about the zoom. My Tour goes to 2X and I'm hoping it can at least hit that...

 

[drbugsmn]

Your G-Nex is so delayed...
T-Mobile will have the first JellyBean Android 5.0 phone..

about 2 or 3 weeks after VZW releases the SGN.

OCCUPY VERIZON anyone??? i kid, i kid

Have not changed my mind about it. Bring on the Nexus.

Don't worry about the zoom, it's all digital zoom anyway which means it is cropping the photo in real time, thus reducing resolution, to create a "zoom" effect. You can do the same by taking a full 5MP picture and cropping it to what you want.

I really want the nexus and no other phone, but with verizon pulling all of this crap, it makes me want to go to another carrier and another phone just so verizon can't get my business...its terrible.
