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

[DrexelDragon]

Yeah true. Don't get me wrong I hope you are are correct I was just putting in my 2 cents for what its worth. I'm not gonna bother even trying to solve the puzzle. I need to give you props for coming up with that because I never would have.

Oh yeah I know! No harm done! Thanks for your props, I just hope that I'm right lol! I feel like there has to be more to it than just multiplying the dots together but I have no other ideas...

Twitter

Just use a combination of what ever hashtag phrase they're using and their twitter @name. If you want to look up specific entries, use phrases from the entry. "Cherokee" is what I used earlier for DrexelDragon's posts.

Heard about that slight upgrade Playing Uncharted 3 myself. Skyrim looks awesome.

Back to the phone.

Try Batman:Arkham City.

I took the Androids as cardinal directions (N,S,E,W,NE,SE,SW,NW) and wrote down each dot for each direction.

Everything cancelled out except for one N and one E so my guess was from the NE (northeast).

 

[3vil]

I think that it might be the people saying building 44 (the total number of dots) because that is googles android building at the google campus

I thought they looked a lot like lewis formulas but my Chemistry is very rusty.

 

[woodraskam]

I got it
1. Android is Frozen
2. Light android on fire to unfreeze him
3. Pee on android to put out fire
4. Wash off android pee
5. ???????
6. Android can shoot fire out of it's ass

I need a little help on 5, and not sure how to get that down to 140 characters.

You may be on to something...the colors and the androids clearly point to Google.

 

[EKG]

I feel bad reading this thread...cuz now I want to take the answers you guys come up with LOL. I gotta distance myself from this Twitter contest

 

[Dmw017]

Each arm of the asterisk points to a different section of Andy.
Each section has a different number of dots from 0-5
Why does the last one have 5 on the bottom-left
Why does the yellow android have only 2 dots
I've tried braile and morse code, looking at the picture sideways, tried googling last years giveaways to see how Google works these..

 

[Stigy]

Nope, that is DEFINITELY not it.

 

[X24]

I came at it with the thought that these are all on the unit circle, and the center * is simply dividing it into regions, 0, pi/4, pi/2, ect. However, working it out in my head, nothing really jumped out at me.

 

[Sushibagel]

The 17th can't come any sooner. I'm about ready to chuck my OG out the window. I was having problems with not receiving txts on Cyanogen so I switched back to stock rooted and now the homescreen redraw is driving me up the wall.

Maybe the 5th is use rain water to wash....because it's green?

Hu....underwhelming for my first(ish) post.

I'll get better.....promise

New BMX poem:

O Vets we do honor…
yet a nexus we can not garner
for Verizon sells it not…

The Razr they are a selling
but most here are yelling
“we really don’t care!”
Even Siri was stumped when given the Razr’s hump
how it got so much hype..

for Panda had a Razr back when he was a teenager

and the reboot just doesnt excite
Unless Skinny Jeans you prefer
Moto’s new device I would defer

But back to the Nexus…
object of Tom’s affection
and Ice cream delight

And though he wishes he could
share hope and goodwill
He reminds us of this fact..
a release date was never given
so with dates Verizon can wiggle

as bean counters try to figuare
how with super-phones aplenty
with skins good and plenty

can they make a pretty penny
on a device with no bloat like so many
that adorn their shelves so pretty..
As thanksgiving doth approach
and turkey’s doth croak

a panda holds his belly and cries
As full as a tick

I would use Chrome to tick
as Online only looks like the pick

So be patient O lovers of Nexus Wonders
just think this could be the Bionic Blunder..

Of Delays and Skinny Jeans… A Panda Opus Opinions and the confessions of a Tech addict…

Looks like a web/only 21st release -- I think? His poetry is awful.

 

[stgmngr210]

Could the puzzle picture be braille? It'd be CRUEL (obviously, since a blind person couldn't SEE it, or, probably get a ton of use out of the super-sexy(and VISUAL) ICS)....but.....so's the keeping the release date so close to the chest

 

[red66charger]

Hi y'all. Gonna try and stay otherwise occupied this weekend. FWIW I"m thinking the 21st is our date. Not as good as the 17th but still only a week from Monday. I hope I'm wrong.

Lots of reviews on RAZR to read in the meantime.

Sunny and 72 degrees outside! I'm gonna enjoy.

It means nothing except "We don't know anything. Verizon is dragging their feet. "

Oh well.

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah, I'm thinking 21st as well. Gives the um, HTC phone some time to sell, and it may match up with the end of the Google tweet contest.
