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

[RichSz]

21st just seems like an odd day... but the whole thing has been an odd situation I guess.

The 21st aligns with P3Droid's comment.

OP changed with real release date and appropriate title.

NOT that I want to question you Steven...but your sure?...the roller coster is starting to take its toll...

Does the date change mean your source confirmed?

 

[Travillion]

Well look what Phil at AC just posted...unconfirmed of course but hey, it's something.
[Unconfirmed] Possible Nov. 17 proof - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Potential proof of a Nov. 17th launch.

Here's the image.

What do you guys make of the statement "Will be available ONLINE and in stores Nov. 17th" and "Promotional items are not to be used until Tuesday Nov. 15th"?

Does this mean: 1) No preorder, and 2) We aren't going to get an official announcement until Nov. 17th?

 

[Sushibagel]

Real release date??? Puhlease! $5 says that changes again tomorrow, lol.

Can we make a release date poll? We will all vote on the date we think it'll actually release. Lol

 

[HanSolo]

Ah, didn't know preordering gets it to you early, I just thought it ships as soon as it launches and you're guaranteed a device.

I think they ship to time it for release date. However, some of the shipping centers are closer to you than others, and you may end up getting it early.

I'm sure they're shooting for pre-orders to arrive on the 11th. Whether they get it before 11:11am or not, who knows.

But there will be a small percentage that get it earlier.

CK, I hope you get what's coming to you.

Awesome! Any links on how it's being rooted? I've done and adb root before just would love to see it for myself.

Idk what the Superboot thing is, I just plan to use adb personally. Posted a very general method in this thread, not particularly detailed:

Even if the source did confirm it, these things keep changing...I'm not looking at it as a sure bet until I hear an official announcement.

Is it better to pre-order the phone online if that's available or just go early in the morning to the store and pick it up?

Will I get it early or am I garaunteed one?

thanks

I love my CyanogenMod having beast of a DInc 2. This phone is all that Gingerbread should be. That said, I am craving an Ice Cream Sammie and my wife is done with here LG Ally (big ups to the Velocity Team for keeping her phone running; seriously!) Thanks Steven. Thanks bad cops

All you doubting this, stop please. If you believe, it will happen. It is called The Secret.

I still refuse to allow myself to get excited until there's some sort of confirmation of the 32GB version. (At least there's a lot bigger likelihood of that happening than of someone at the HTC presentation later saying "We've heard your complaints about the Thunderbolt's battery life and addressed them on the Rezound." ). Once I hear that, then I'll cancel my RAZR preorder. Or return it to the store since I may have it by then. At the very least, I feel we're getting closer to the finish line. And I'd like to thank our mods and posters for keeping the energy and spirit alive in here. It's like a giant pep rally!

I just hope the Nexus isn't too powerful. Unrestrained and attached to a robot body it could "go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place!"

I think it means no pre-order, and you won't see signs for it in Verizon stores until the 15th. When does it get officially announced by Verizon? Who knows, but I'm guessing the 15th.

Could mean no pre-order. But who knows.

Sounds like no preorder and that an announcement would be made by Nov 15th. Why have promo items before an official announcement?

So my guess is announcement on the 15th. Purchasable on the 17th.

 

[Ytram]

I'm going to go with official announcement on the 14th, with signage in stores the next day, and available for sale on the 17th.

 

[sean76]

That is true.....there so much crap floating around how can you believe any of it. I just want to hear something from verizon, things like this make me hope another carrier gets better coverage some time soon so i can jump ship on verizon I hate them im only there for the network. Granted that's a large reason why you would choose a cell phone carrier but they seem to abuse the fact that they have the best network.

They're sales tactics are terrible. They 100% abuse the fact that they have the best network. Hopefully when Sprint and at&t roll out they're LTE its on par with Verizons...If it is, I'm out of here!

I do agree with all that extra padding. Lots of extra/wasted space.

Hey hey hey - extra padding is not necessarily a bad thing.

Oh wait, we're talking about email. Sorry - continue.

 

[Highwayman]

If that webpage is the real deal, I have to agree with Ytram...

Lucky 4 u haveing changing leaves, I'm in Texas and its still 90° out and the leaves haven't changed

Our leaves are gone, buried under a foot of snow.

 

[Steven58]

I can't confirm that it's legitimate, but it looks like it.

The 17th has been floating around as firm for a while now. I wasn't sure that the supply problems would impact it, but I haven't heard anything different than the 17th.

My thoughts exactly to be honest with you.
