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

[EmotionalNinja]

Alright everyone, I have to get off of here. I have to start a finish a term paper within the next 8 hours and refreshing this thread constantly is going to be the death of me and my paper. I'm assuming no new information is going to come out tonight unless something gets announced during the live stream on Android's YouTube channel.

I have my hopes for the 21st currently, hopefully it isn't web only though.

Who do I call about the finger damage I've experienced hitting F5 on this thread?

Hey I missed the preface - VP of National Customer Service of Verizon Wireless?

I'm not going to ask for it but how'd you manage to get his e-mail if you don't mind telling (makes sense if you don't).

Go to vzw.com and type "leadership" into the search bar. You will be shown a list of the top executives with their titles. When you click on it, you will see a little link at the bottom to contact them. Once you do that, a window will pop up with a generic message-sending thingy, but it works! I sent it late this morning and got a call within probably 4 hours.

Thankfully I was alone at the time.

Also... Han... whose info is more reliable... your sister or the guy that you spoke with on the phone? Your sister seems to indicate that next week was not happening.

My sister was spot on with the iPhone 4 release early this year. But I'm not sure how reliable her info is on this, since I didn't cave and ask her for the info. She probably would have told me where she heard it.

I know someone asked me earlier what she does over there, and I don't feel comfortable saying, except that she works in a corporate area where a lot of sensitive info floats around at times.

That's awesome.

I don't think I put much stock in the software being a problem either. Otherwise the UK devices wouldn't be releasing either. It's not like they're running 4.02 or something.

Could it be a software thing with LTE???? I don't know any technical stuff.

Watching the Google Music event its about to start.

 

[daveydog]

so basically, this thing could just get announced at any time. That's just great for our OCDs.

That was me and thanks. Didn't know if you ever mentioned it and that's fine - just was wondering if you could let us in on what she does day-to-day that she has access to certain information. But I completely understand.

It shouldn't be. The Charge was by Samsung and has LTE. Unless Samsung went with a completely different radio then nothing should change.

 

[Sushibagel]

That's awesome.

Haha I Ninja'd you!!!

Check it out... also who else is watching the Google Music event right now? It's one minute until it begins and the live stream is still showing the standby screen with the eerie music o.o

That's true, I forgot about that tweet from P3Droid. He got an update the 14th or 15th (can't remember either) about getting an OTA on the Nexus.

5 days of testing + any fixes could land us on the 21st and an OTA when we get the phones powered on for the first time.

Good catch.

14th @7:47pm. I can't figure out how to get the d**n link to the exact post, but I did a search on p3droid ota update, and got this:
"mmm, update for Nexus pushed today..I wonder what it is?"

So, assuming we all have real jobs that have not received the attention they deserve because we are distracted by this thread, here is what I came up with as the real jobs of the regulars around here and you can make the leap as to how that has impacted the world economy.

NinJak Public Relations Director - Penn State
HanSolo Defender of the universe, part-time mechanic and pilot
Travillon Campaign Manager - Herman Cain for President
OfTheDamned Bookie
CaptainRon Prime Minister - Greece
BabyBlues US/Mexico Border Patrol

EarlyMon Wake Up Call Operator - Marriott

MichaelWestbrook Occupy Wall Street Movement
drandrew18 Filmmaker - Dreamworks
Steven58 Verizon Executive in charge of preparing new releases

Spoiler

Is there any chance I could move up to something respectable, like Septic Tank Cleaner? Then again, they'd prolly be paying me a WHOLE lotta money to spin things...

Or we could all just be The SuperFriends! So long as I'm not El Dorado or the Wonder Twins.

I got a voicemail from the reigional presidents office from my email earlier, but when I got a chance to call back, she had already left for the day. It gave me a chance to throw a jab in about my phone's ringer not working anymore when I called her back and left a voicemail though. Update to come tomorrow.

Starting now


Maybe?

 

[HanSolo]

I texted my sister telling her how awesome her employers are and what I did, and she texted back:

OMG! You're an idiot!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Google Music thing. Can someone post an update when something cool happens? I've gotta get some work done before I leave in an hour and a half.

Speaking of google music - I hope they grandfather us if they start charging people for space!

I gotta get these songs uploaded before they do a changeroo!

I emailed my regional president. They called me back, but I didn't get a chance to talk because I was in a meeting. I expect another call in the morning.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and yes this is my first post. I wanted to say this has been an interesting experience waiting for this phone and then finding this thread about the SGN. I have an OG Droid and want an upgrade really bad. I talked to the customer service rep at VZW and she said I wouldn't be eligible for a pre-order if I got a new phone now in the hopes of returning it when the SGN comes out. It takes 3-5 days to return a new phone and then I would be able to get the SGN. Is this true? Could I pre-order through VZW if I purchased a new phone from Best Buy in the hopes of returning it when I'm able to pre-order the SGN? Thanks
