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

[woodraskam]

Yeah so am I.

I'm listening....please give us the deets

 

[Highwayman]

Only if you get someone to take a picture of the manager or reps face as you try to bite some guy's neck at Verizon.

Made me bust our laughing...

Thank you!

Will anyone else miss the Menu button when they get the GNex/4.0? I use it quite frequently. How will we access the settings and whatnot in apps now?

 

[Rybnik]

AAAHHGGG! This is like a train wreck that I hate seeing, but can't look away from!

Yes, this is starting to turn into a thread like one from SA or 4-chan please, can we stop going down this path...Aaggg!

This was what happened to me at the local Verizon store. I couldn't help myself anymore. I used the code word "Sarah Connor" for the Nexus but the rep wouldn't budge. I had to take matters into my own hands.

Damn. That was exhausting. I'm off of here for about 24 hours for doctors appointments yesterday (I'm fine; just checkups) and an evening at the aquarium and the post count jumps like the national debt. Had to scan through from post 33,000 to now to catch up in the past 2 hrs. Whew. Now for some lunch.

Our wait is nearly over!!

I think I'm set to ROM my Inc for the last time. Kind of an epic moment for me. My son's Droid 2 is pooping out after a year, (Yet another reason why I will never own another device that says Moto on it) so I am setting it up for him. I currently have MIUI's most recent build on it and plan on putting pure GB on it for him.

If I can pick this up on Monday (as I expect to), it will be a glorious day!

I feel like we're twins. I too have a DInc and an iPad 2, I'm running the latest MIUI, and I'm putting stock on my DInc before giving it to my girlfriend to replace her Eris which is pooping out.

Are you using the super mario lock screen?

This thread is on f-ing steroids I literally can't read fast enough to keep up with the posting

 

[darejer]

OK guys I have some cool info!

I went to return the Razr just now, explained to the supervisor that I had good Intel that the Nexus would be available for pre order on Monday. He disagreed with proclaiming they didn't have any knowledge of any release. So I still was insistent that I wanted to return so I waited to deal with the Very forthcoming rep that sold me the Razr. I told her why I was returning the Razr she says we will have the phone the same time it's online but they really didn't know when that would be. So I told her I Knew it would be available online Monday, so!!!! She says let me check our stock room she goes in the back and is back there for a few minutes, the supervisor then walks over to me still sticking to his guns with the "we don't know " attitude then the sales rep comes back and asks the manager to follow her they are in the back room for about 5 minutes she brings the Nexus accessories and says "Scott we WILL HAVE THE PHONE HERE WHEN IT LAUNCHES" I say is it in the back and she just stairs at me and says nothing then she says the boxes are sealed I can't open them and I say OK that's what I needed to know I'll see you on Monday!

Not doubting anything that you are saying. However, they are not going to start selling phones in store without a press release ahead of time (i.e. today). So, although they may have the phones, without a PR today... Monday is not happening (in store).

OMG - I must be your sister! I have DInc running CM7 and ipad2. Mom is getting DInc to replace POS Droid2 as soon as my hot little hands are on the Nexus.

 

[Mr. Orange 645]

I don't know if this is anything....but I work at BestBuy (in BestBuy Mobile) and we have a big ole box that my manager won't let me open. It doesn't say Samsung, Google, nothing. He's saying he doesn't know what it is either, but it has our typical bestbuy do not open until 11/21 wrapper on it.

You must let us know either way come Monday. Even if it's not the GN I will want to know what great secret Best Buy has! LOL

Careful someone might actually try something like that.

I really have nothing more to add than whats already been said in the videos and reviews of it. All I can say is I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT to own my own. Coming from a OG it is freaking fast and smoooooooth. They wouldn't allow me to snap a picture of it when I tried... No word from them on a release date other than "I don't know".

 

[Trooper]

Guys is it bad that I absolutely LOVE the DINC2???

It's so thin, all black, it's like a Darth Vader phone! Screen is nice, and bigger than my crappy OG Droid.

I'm on the phone now with Tech Support because this phone's MEID number is on the "negative list", so they have to remove that portion of it before it can be activated.

They said "Wow" when I explained to them how a VP called me back and offered me the phone. I guess it's not normal procedure.

But this is really nice. I was expecting a cardboard box and it actually came in a new DINC2 box with an extra battery cover on it!

I remember you posted about the phone call with the VP, but how did you get him to send you a Dinc2?

 

[BabyBlues]

If anyone cares -

Avatar is done and ready for tomorrow morning. UNLESS we get a solid confirmation from VZW today in which case I must alter it.

I'm not trying to urinate in anyone's cheerios, but we had people coming out of the woodwork last night claiming their local corporate VZW store had confirmed GNex in stock on Monday. Based on today's developments, that seems extremely unlikely.

I hear you. And with that said if anyone stakes their life on what they read on any Webb site, I have a bridge for sale in the Congo.

With all due respect to the good folks out there.

How many times have we seen leaked storage room photos in the past of sealed boxes?-- Many times. No, I'm not going to go digging for links.

So either VZW's secrecy machine is in an uncanny high octane mode, or we're grasping at straws here. I want to believe Monday is the day, but I'm just having a very hard time buying into MY OWN hype anymore. Help?

Han flat out told him he was going to use the 'Rent a Razr or Rezound' program because his phone was crap and he wants the Nexus. The VP sent him the DInc 2 to tide him over

 

[nexusprimepls]

I'm positive it's in my local Verizon store right now!
She didn't even know it was back there until she went and checked. I could tell she wanted to tell me so bad but couldn't.

Call her and ask her to text you!!!!!!!!

[Namrak]

So I had emailed the execs like many of you did. This is the fourth time she's called me back when I'm in class. I always call back once I'm out of class but they're not available...

 

[nexusprimepls]

Wow, the capacitive buttons change orientation! That's creepy weird!!

Imagine how cool it will be to see the buttons
