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

[iowabowtech]

Just got caught up and I was STILL cracking up over the Fedex pic when I ran into the UPS one. OMG that was an absolute classic.

2 hand truck loads.

Crap, now look what pulled up. 1 handtruck load

The thing that gets me is the Fedex truck is not your typical delivery... It is Fedex Freight I bet if you stay there long enough you will see a Fedex Express truck and Fedex Ground truck

 

[vandyman]

Someone please hit the slap button, I need a reality check here.

 

[nypcdoc]

actually that may not be so great...i wish he had said they want it out before Black Friday

I agree...I thought we were done with the bad news....If it comes out after Thanksgiving, we'll have no trouble surpassing the DINC thread.

 

[jbmoore972]

I don't think there's such a thing as "federal police officer"....maybe Federal Agent

Incorrect. There is such a thing. Walk around the DC area and you WILL see one or 10

 

[Mooem]

actually that may not be so great...i wish he had said they want it out before Black Friday

Well that's just 12 days to go...it's practically almost here! I'm cautiously optimistic for the 21st.

My thought as well. That implies November 28, or after BF.

We'll see. But we must all exercise patience, dear padawans. Verizon only wants what's best for us.

My DINC2 is out for delivery!! Woo hoo!!

 

[nvitone23]

blackmanx just tweeted this about the SGN:

"know the date.. Not something I can share. And it's subject to change.. They want it out before dec1st.."

LOOKING GOOD!!

I'm still hoping for a release before Thanksgiving. I'm hoping to flaunt this beauty in front of the family

I had a dream about my future GNEX and I somehow was with a random guy named Scott (I don't have any friends named Scott lol) who also had a GNEX so we did an android beam. Before beaming I had to yell "Beam me up Scotty!" lol awesome dream!

 

[huskerkate]

I added the link: Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ first impressions (video) -- Engadget

It has video but it is in the writeup as well.

I agree, this is a serious downer, if true.

We shouldn't have to use 3rd party applications to get this functionality.

i'm pretty sure i saw a tweet from BMX saying that it does have mass storage, but i can't find the tweet...

also, BMX tweeted that he knows the VZW release date, but can't share it. he goes on to say that VZW wants it out before Dec 1st, tho...

 

[HanSolo]

Incorrect. There is such a thing. Walk around the DC area and you WILL see one or 10

Correct. There's thousands of federal police officers.

My DINC2 is out for delivery!! Woo hoo!!

I am thankful for the DINC2 that you are getting - it has been like a drug to help soothe the Han1/Han2 personality thing you had going on.

Press releases from Verizon's news website

Wait they posted something? Or are you just referring to the reserved links for articles on this day?

 

[emaN resU]

Okay, I really have to get some work done. I'll be back in 15 minutes (yeah, I only work in 15 minute intervals).
Don't let anything happen til I get back! Thanks!

 

[Interestingman]

Being on this thread via 4G on my Rezound all day is murder on the battery.

 

[sneakking]

Well that's just 12 days to go...it's practically almost here! I'm cautiously optimistic for the 21st.

it's a lot better than mid december, I agree...but with how serious it seemed the 21st was, potential for a letdown

 

[foreWard]

ok, I have been attempting to get involved with this thread as i enjoyed the incredible thread in '10, but i am constantly 5-10 pages behind...I am currently on page 706 hoping there is some awesome little nugget in the next 5 pages that i dont want to ruin by skipping head.....see you all in half an hour or so, probably on page 720....this thing is rolling! heres to soon having gnexes (plural of gnex??)!

 

[nexusprimepls]

Should be today. Could be even Saturday.

But also, despite what the VP told me, it could even be online-ordering on the 21st with in-store either on Black Friday or on the 28th.

Who knows.

My DINC2 gets here today! Woo hoo!!

I was planning to ask how you liked it. PM me when you get it and let me know about the signal bar. Chicago may be better than Chattanooga, but we live right near a tower, so I'm curious to see how that one works.

 

[denmalley]

You know, as far as this "silent launch" with no major marketing hype - it's a perfect situation for Verizon. Think about it...they have all of these salivating techies waiting in the wings to buy this phone - BETA TESTERS! We're the ones willing to put up with a few annoyances, have the know-how to work around the issues, and most importantly for big red, report them with a level of acceptance that the software might not yet be perfect. Let us work out all the bugs, push an OTA update, then start appealing to the masses for the holidays.

 

[TheRoosevelt]

You are all forgetting that when Windsock has no new news he makes stuff up to bring attention back!!!!

Well, that was black_man_x who posted that, not P3, which is why it's more credible.

But I think when he said "it's subject to change. they want it out before dec 1st", he means that if Verizon changes their date again, it still will be before Dec 1st. That's what I'm thinking anyway.

You will laugh in those missed pages but otherwise there is no BIG news so you're not that far behind.

They've posted some random press releases today but nothing about the Gnex

 

[kornesque]

Incorrect. There is such a thing. Walk around the DC area and you WILL see one or 10

Fed police, cop, LEO...what's in a name? LEO would certainly be the most recognizable internally. I also am a fed cop by definition, also a puddle pirate (USCG).

Thanks for the stalking pics, softcore Nexpr0n for the forumites. Much appreciated. You don't even know how wild my imagination is running right now.

Ahhhh - thanks for the clarification. I can't keep them all straight.
