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

[Jon Nale]

I just went to get some hot water for tea which requires me to walk to the other side of the building, and I was hoping that there would be nexus news when I got back to my desk. At the very least, I was hoping for more funny stalking pictures.



GIVE ME MY NEXUS PLEASE.

 

[atrayn22]

This is completely lame. East coast deliveries have been made for some time now. I cannot believe we haven't have a single Verizon store employee tell us they have phones.

 

[Mach Droid]

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

Or Special agent,I know cause I have been questioned.Maybe Postal Police are Fed Cops.

 

[nexusprimepls]

Chattanooga TN?

Yes, Chattanooga, TN. Do you live here as well?

 

[Manizzle]

Lurker emerging here. Can't wait to retire the OG droid for this bad boy.

Also, never before have I ever lol'd so much at a forum thread. Keep the stalking pics coming people.

 

[DSCR]

Ok, step back from the edge......

I went to get coffee an check the rest room for operational efficiency at Caribou Coffee next door. Saw a regular Fed Ex truck come and go.

The manger here is known to be a follow the rules guy. when ian went in he was playing greeter. Kinda busy on the fruit area today. When he had a greeter lull I asked about the trucks coming and going and directly asked, if he had nex in the back now.

He swore that the the trucks were his normal Friday deliveries and they had been told nothing of the nex.

He seemed either uncomfortable or irritated with my interrogation. But no clear clues as to flat out lying our not.

My regular sales guy is not here yet.I am gonna call him and ask him to check it out for me.

Will report with any additional info.

Sorry there is no real news here.

Lol.

Spoiler

Glad to see you post - was watching the moron protesters on the news and wondered how you were doing.

 

[Trooper]

So Monday may still be the day?

Thank you

I read the bold part as "Taste". Then I thought, oh, it's OTD, so it's ok.

 

[red66charger]

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.

I won't survive it.

Welcome out of lurkdom!!!!!

The poor guy has probably been detained for suspicious activity. Perhaps he's being interrogated as we speak.

I think it's time to cut the cord everyone. He is now disavowed.

We don't know him.

Walk away. Walk away now.

 

[AcousticRx]

Yes, Chattanooga, TN. Do you live here as well?

between the 3 of us..we should cover a few VZW stores in town.

 

[BabyBlues]

I won't survive it.

I won't have a job, my family will disown me and I'm pretty sure even the men in white coats might be a little wary if they come to get me and I'm laughing at my phone while hitting refresh, refresh, refresh

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.

That's exactly what they did with the DInc [minus the holiday market timing]. That this is a planned VZW strategy is doubtful at best.

In the DInc case, they had been and continued to spend massively on Droid branding and Moto phone promotions. They had no frikin idea what they had with the DInc, and were completely unprepared for the demand it generated. It took months to recover to a point where you could actually walk in and buy a DInc in a VZW store. At the time, they 'strategically' leaked stories about HTC production problems [especially screens] to the press as cover. The other side of that story was that VZW had no volume commitments signed with HTC, so rather than ramping production ahead of the launch they were stuck with trying to deal with a step function demand from a standing start.

Samsung are larger than HTS were back then, but it certainly looks as if VZW are no smarter about preparing to launch what is looking like a market leading product. Be prepared for stock shortages soon after the genpop realizes how good the GNex is.

Cue up mission impossible theme song....

 

[overbyc1]

A pre-order might have sent this thread to the moon. Looks like we're gonna have trouble getting to DINC territory. For the sake of the thread V, drop some info already!

 

[HLogic]

WANT FONE NOW!!!!!

Seriously, I need to study for my MCATs on my lunch breaks at work, and I can't freaking concentrate because I'm too busy refreshing my "Galaxy Nexus" Google News search. This needs to come out now, while I still have a career left!

You could do like I did... 6-pack, pizza and watch The Great Texas Dynamite Chase. Got the 2nd highest score in the nation. Of course that was a year or thirty ago.

 

[stgmngr210]

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

True dat. Worked in downtown DC for 12 years.

 

[megalonebula]

very close! I live i'm Rome Ga!

I doubt the production problems were rumors. There's a reason the first Dinc's had an amoled screen, and the later versions got SLCD.

Ok, I shouldn't really have to say this and I honestly hope nobody would do anything, but I'll go ahead and say it anyway.

Thank you

Damn. Now I'm going to have to return that chicken costume.

I just got off the phone with the Verizon store. Today's prerelease was a total rumor.

Monday's release is not a rumor. However he does not know if it's online only or in store as well.

So the GOOD news is this time next week, we will all be holding and using our Gnex!
