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

[MMcCraryNJ]

If this thread could be visualized with moving pictures, music, dialogue, and sound effects, it could be one hell of a good movie.

Nothing new, but I didn't see it here before. a couple different photos of the GNex

Galaxy Nexus from Google

Sorry, I meant not that interesting.

There are too many out there looking to spread doom and gloom. The truth is that nobody really has a date. Everyone else is just poking a stick at the nest to see how many hornets come out.

ah. yea that's true

@Blues & Sweaty:

I think you'll likely find someone to beam with LONG before I do in this sleepy little town!

I may have to make a CL listing... not that anyone here would see it

"Nexus geek desires to beam with someone. ANYONE!"

Maybe the other 2 Gnexers in Tennessee will respond

Up,down,up,down,down,down,up,up,up,.....Where the hell is my Dramamine!

I'm sorry. You're wrong. It is UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT, B, A and START

(end it with SELECT, START if you want 2 players.)

Hook me up with a launch day GNex and I will drive to Manchester for a quick beam

 

[BabyBlues]

I wanna beam too :'(

Meet me on the parkway.

Why would they release the Rezound three days after the Razr unless the GNex is in the wings? Spacing of releases is a blown theory with those two bunched together so closely.

It seems to me that any release after Black Friday is destined for failure or at least wouldn't live up to its potential. I can't speak for others but post-Thanksgiving is NOT when I'm considering large purchases for myself (and I can be a selfish bastard when gadgetry is involved). I'm worried about affording Christmas gifts for my family. I would imagine the Holiday season might make people more introspective about buying big crap for themselves. "Instead of the new wonder phone, maybe I should buy mom something a little nicer."

Windbag hasn't mentioned any strange bugs in his review and he's .... um ... unpleasant. What would be so show-stopping but unnoticeable to delay the launch?

Verizon must understand the fervor over this little box. I think I'd feel better if they got off their corporate high horse and just passed along some information so we, their customers, could make informed decisions.

Final thought: we have all the information. Someone has reported the truth and we know it. It's almost impossible to squelch down the noise and find it but it's in this thread somewhere.

Amen.

Awww - you have my sympathies.

I wanna play I wanna play!!!! *picture this as I'm jumping up and down like a little kid trying to get picked in class to do something really cool*

I just tried that and my phone started downloading Ice Cream Sandwich. That is one amazing cheat code.

We might as well wait til tomorrow. P3 is worthless when it comes to release info as he has shown many times before. No reason to get worked up. We have always gone from the 17th to some type of delay back to the 17th. I am still confident it will be the 17th, 21st at the latest, and we will hear something tomorrow.

 

[OfTheDamned]

It just occurred to me that Beam could become the geek high five.

Ok, that made me laugh.

Don't forget about this tonight:
'On The Verge' arrives on Monday, November 14th with Matias Duarte | The Verge

I'm pretty positive he won't announce it or anything, but maybe he will drop a hint, or accidentally slip up.

I think it's been the geek high-five since back in the Palm III days. LOL!

 

[Steven58]

My Lord! We're going to hit 29k tonight! IMO, once we hit 30k, we are an official giga-thread.

They said that it wont be broadcasted live... have to wait till tomorrow most likely to see it.

I think the Star Trek fans had that locked up years ago.

ROFLMA-non-Nexus-AO!

Thanks for the offer CKelly, but the Darling Bride would certainly question THAT expenditure! One's tough enough to justify to her!

Poor Darling Bride. Poor, technically-disinclined Darling Bride. She just doesn't FEEL my pain, and doesn't understand my primordial NEED for a Galaxy Nexus...

Me: I need this Nexus!!!

Her: Your phone makes calls, doesn't it?

Me: Yeah, but it's struggling to do everything else without locking up or rebooting itself! My LWP keeps disappearing! It's low on memory! I NEED this Nexus!!!

Her: Your phone makes calls, doesn't it? What's a reboot?

Me: *SIGH*

 

[jamor]

You guys realize the Rezound Forum is on Page 29 and we are on 577?

That's so they can edit out any slips
