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

[BabyBlues]

So......... Baby Blue?

When we get our GN's and you are good and twisted, ahem, I think this would be a good time to test the front facing cameras? Eh? You think? Maybe?

***gapi does the Butt Head and Bevis laugh***

Lmao! I think the mods might take issue with that.

I will not rent a Razr because it is a Razr. And I will not rent a Thunderbolt 2 because I have a Thunderbolt.

lol'd at Rezound = Thunderbolt 2... it's kinda true if you think about it :O

I just looked it up here and there. 32gb comes from "the sources", P3's production model, and the costco chart.

Just kind of makes you wonder if everybody's assumption lead to "fact".

Idk, all I know is a 16gb model only doesn't make sense. How much more does that extra memory cost? Not much at all and then they can charge $299 to more people.

 

[Crashumbc]

No that would be impossible since the memory is soldered to the boards internally and most likely a single 32GB chip.

Actually there is no confirmation at all for whether it's 16 or 32GB at this point (at least in my opinion).

I think. He meant that as sarcasm.

The original press release from VZW does not include the memory in the list of specs.

 

[woodraskam]

Just checking back in, compadres. Nothing new, I take it? Still looking like December 8?

If it ain't monday, it ain't looking good for november.

 

[scottg96]

We need a dedicated person to round up all of the tweets, thread posts, and VZ rep calls and make a bar graph of which dates have been confirmed the most times, lol

Since there has been no official announcement from Verizon regarding the memory size, yes, everything up to this point has been assumptions.

The Google page did have 16/32, and was changed. Was the change a mistake or deliberate? I find it hard to believe that a LTE phone would be restricted to 16GB.

Which led into my question yesterday. If you could have a 16GB model and had to wait for the 32GB model, what would you do?

I will wait for the 32GB model. I want a device that is future proof (for 2 years ). This means a Google phone, ICS, plenty of storage (32GB) and of course...my grandfathered unlimited data. I am already using the cloud for music and thankfully won't have to rely on an SD Card for all my storage but this doesn't mean I don't want the convenience of a plentiful amount of onboard storage. I have a 1 year old son and am tired of feeling like I have to offload these pics/videos to conserve my 16GB SD which I have easily filled before. With HD video and more and more photos, I need an onboard solution. I don't want to rely on the cloud for everything and offloading isn't awesome either. Anyway, I am ranting and I probably have missed a lot of posts.

i really must work on my sarcasm tone

Agreed... but they can charge $299 for 16GB, also.

 

[efApple]

if its 16gb it better damn well not be $300

 

[brent_strong]

I'm afraid this roller coaster is half a twist away from pushing me in to an iPhone...

why would they get to watch?

Kisses to you too. That was awesome!

Someone should post it to Verizon's wall. I know they won't get some of it but it is still funny. Would be fun to see how many of us can get blocked from posting.


I'll totally do it if no one else has already!

Me too... but strange that there is nothing very official about that yet. In fact the most official thing that we have (Google) says 16gb only.

dont do that...stay in the android family, please

Hey EarlyMon, fancy seeing you here

 

[Cam]

So I just realized that one of my buddies is currently working at one of VZW's corporate stores. I asked him about the Nexus. His response is below. Nothing we haven't already heard. I tried.

As for the nexus, I got to play with one on Wednesday.....this thing is sick. No release date tho. Could be as early as the 21st, as late as mid December and that's from my Samsung guy

I just asked him whether the phone he played with was 16 or 32gb. I'll let y'all know...

 

[artnsx]

Not sure if this was already talked about, but whatever happened to the samsung illusion (which per the one screenshot was supposed to launch on 11/18)? I don't see on verizon's website which is not cool.

They won't sell as many though

Ask him how he got to play with one on Wednesday, exactly

Each phone is delayed or not delayed independently. The Illusion would not be a factor for the release of the GN.
