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

Yeah, and I agree about P3Droid seeing this and tweeting real quick to try to make it look like he is corroborating the rumor. Sounds like his type of stunt.

Damn I see the thing hours ago and no one said I was awesome

You're AWESOME, Dubbin

This also proves that there IS IN FACT, SGN stock in the states.

I can't speak to that. This was obviously a demo phone.

Hi, Level 99 Lurker here.

The picture does look like an advertisement schedule..

Note how it says NEW signage, as if maybe its replacing old signage?

Also maybe the that is the instore date as someone else noted.

Love your intro! Welcome to the madness we are currently experiencing

 

[Highwayman]

I finally caught up..... YAY!!!!

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

This may be their soft launch?!?!

if that's when the marketing BEGINS, then i'm going to have to throw up and say yes..mid december. how are they going to give us a phone a month early and advertise for it a month later. i'm going to forget i read/saw/heard anything about december nex.

Everyone keeps quoting Han's post about his sister's text, but her text never comes through lol... I'm scared to go looking for it because then I will get buried under another five pages...

Anyone care to clarify? Please?

Protip: Click the little icon ( the little arrow like this: >) next to the quoted poster's name.. will take you to the original post being quoted.

Fair warning though, this thread will have moved a page or two by the time you get back from seeing the original post.

WOOHOO!
Good news for me! My car repair cost me less than my worst case scenario ($2000). It's about $800! AND, even though they need to order a part for it, I can still get it and (safely) drive it until Tuesday!
So, if GNex comes out Monday in stores (it could happen...don't judge), I can drive there and buy it, instead of riding my bike there, running someone down, and taking there GNex. It'd be SO easy! Seriously, are ANY of you going to walk out of the store with one without it directly in your hand, hunched over it giving it your full attention??
I think not.

The slightly bad news is, I could TOTALLY fix the damn thing myself (replacing a bum canister purge valve), but, they've already ordered the part, and the expensive part is done (all the labor, and diagnostics). BOO!! but...YAY!

I agree with this. Everything in the right hand column is talking about Point Of Purchase advertising displays and materials.

Its sad that people out there think they need to put out false rumors, screwing with people's heads. That is why this thread is such a great thing. False rumors on here get squashed soo fast. If it is local, its done by the Mods, if it is external, it is done by the Mobs.

And then behind again.... AAARRRGGG!!!!

Ok all you little Nexaholics out there. I'm back.

The rep had the phone and store manager was nice enough to play along and act like I was an off the clock employee to let me play with it for a minute or two. The rep was there to more or less go over the phone and he basically covered everything we've seen in all the YouTube videos out there.

About the Nexus:

It is fast. It may be bias on my part or it may just be ICS, but it seems to be faster and smoother than the Razr or the Rezound.

The screen is absolutely gorgeous. I really don't have words to properly describe it. Take the rezound screen and make it better, that is all I can come up with.

The size is like a pretty good combination of the Rezound and the Razr. It doesn't have the width of the Razr or the thickness of the Rezound though. The curve is very subtle and I almost forgot that it was really there.

The phone really functioned flawlessly too. With LTE it was blazing fast to bring up the web and the market. I didn't see music in the market on the phone, btw.

The rep demoed the camera and it really is just about instant. Tap the screen and you have a picture and the phone is ready to go again right away.

He also showed us Face Unlock which was really cool, but I can't see using it all that often unless I'm just trying to show off the feature.

Someone asked what the build was at it was 4.0.1 so I don't think this one has had the update that people were talking about.

I asked the rep about a release date and he said that it was on Verizon, but he was hearing next week.

That is all I've got. I only had the phone in my hands for a couple of minutes and had to pass it to someone else. I almost cried.

The one last thing I will say, I don't see anyone being disappointed with it. The wow factor is just too high.

OTD you beautiful vampire, I'd french kiss the hell out of you right now, not caring that I'm not your type and that my wife would object!!!!

Madness I tell ya!!!
