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

[WalmartSecurity]

At this point I don't care anymore. Verizon will probably be the last carrier to get it and by then the next best thing will be coming out...maybe on verizon.

Didn't they peg Nov 10 as the launch date for the Nexus/Razr/Rezound?

A friend at Moto said they have the Galaxy Nexus coming to their offices soon, "probably" the LTE version is the rumor @ moto.

This is the same guy that said VZW was the one who required the "bootloader solution".


My guess is that VZW will heavily advertise the RAZR, and possibly NOT subsidize the Nexus?

How does everyone feel about the headphone jack being located on the bottom?

Looks like this thing is riding dirty in my pocket when I'm listing to it, I feel weird thinking about that. lol

Actually, his exact words were:



Meaning: Don't worry yet.

What's so terrible about that? There's nothing to worry about.

edit: My bad. Nevermind.

One question....simple answer if your smart.

Did they mention a LTE model for US release...how many carriers have a LTE network in the US?

There was no mention of LTE US release and while VZW is the only (real) LTE carrier in the US there are LTE carriers in Asia.

Maybe a bit annoying but not a deal breaker. I'm hoping/assuming we will have 180 degree rotation so if it is that much of an annoyance I will just hold it upside down.

yeah, headphone jack on bottom...that definitely sucks for me as i listen to music on my phone in the car, and i have a head phone jack to plug in...gonna suck having to play the music and try to look at the screen upside down in my cupholder...

That, would be a huge mistake on Vzw's part.

 

[joelmole]

is there a video of the event available to watch anywhere?

 

[Montana Man]

Who knows. But I'd personally rather be skeptical now and pleasantly surprised when they announce rather than convinced and severely disappointed later.

Okay, point taken. But to that end, why would the teaser not have arbitrarily thrown up an ATT or Sprint logo? No - it was Verizon. Big Red won't enter the most significant part of the retail year without having the biggest dog in the hunt. This thing is coming to Verizon. End of story.

Read on, Han. He sent another tweet after that with an arrow pointing to the one you just mentioned saying..."you should worry a little"

That was a re-tweet by someone else.

Not a fan of it

Not thrilled about this but 32 Gb will probably take me some time to fill.

I have a 32GB card in my Dinc and have never come close to filling it. Filling it isn't what worries me, wiping and ROMing without losing my pics is my concern.

Hmm good point, will have to wait and see about this...hopefully its true.

edit: @P3Droid Did anyone notice that VZW was not mentioned? There is a reason for that. But don't worry, yet.

No...they said LTE. They have LTE in the UK and Hong Kong as well. It was very vague.

We are just waiting for OFFICIAL confirmation. Not words of encouragement, linked "old" articles or pats on the back to not worry

That wasn't his tweet. He retweeted someone else's.

I really could care less. Until we get some kind of statement that Verizon's dropping the ball, I'm going to remain optimistic.

I'm the anti-CK.

I'm betting on November 10 this thread will be locked.

BTW, it states 32 Gb of memory (NON-expandable)

Wow...must be delerious. I read SIM card as SD card.

It also says in the article:

"The aforementioned backplate feels good in the hand. It's textured with a diagonal checkerboard pattern that offers up some grip and is easily peeled back to reveal the (user-replacable) battery and the SIM card slot. It's a small detail, perhaps, but we were quite pleased to see that you can insert and remove a SIM card without having to take the battery out."

Yeah, SIM card is expected. But no SD, huh?

Oh well. I won't come close to filling up 32 GB of storage.

That won't be a problem. I do it all the time on my Viewsonic G Tablet. They call it an internal sd card. It won't be touched.

Well they resolved it on the Xoom prior to SD support so Devs could probably do it again! It was simply just a directory labeled SD (or something like that) that was skipped over during a wipe.

I'm not worried...I've spoken to a vz rep who saw with her own eyes the two phones go into the system today for Nov. 10th release.

 

[Namrak]

On those engadget pics with the back cover taken off can anyone see the battery size?

 

[red66charger]

That was a re-tweet by someone else.

OMG! I swear it didn't present to me like that when I first saw it!

Sorry for the panic. I better get some sleep. Thanks OTD.
