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

[Poe78]

I'm sorry, I haven't been able to locate how we got to the December 8th date - did we get an announcement from Verizon?

Oh and could I get a quick stat on how many active members participate (or have participated) in this thread? Then I could provide a stinger:

Thanks for your time,
Scott Greene (and X people on AndroidForums.com)

Nope, some improbable and likely fake screencap of a screencap of some Microsoft Word document that could very well have been typed up to throw us off... tl;dr, no 12/8 has not been confirmed by Verizon and it's probably not coming that late.

Here's my draft:

Help me edit it if necessary

The only thing that would please me along with a release date would be the ability to place an order, to be shipped to arrive on the release date.

Your draft looks good in my eyes.

I know Steven said a while back we were approaching 1 million views.
I PMed Hans...since he's a lawyer to see if he'd lend his expertise also?

I like the email Scott!

Google Confirms no Flash for Ice Cream Sandwich, for the time being - SlashGear

Well it looks like we will be getting ICS, just not at launch... "as far as we know, Adobe will support Flash for ICS"

I just noticed something else on the Google's tech spec page for the GNex.
www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs

Under Network, it says "Varies." Although it lists some specs for the LTE version, which is obviously VZW, under network it doesn't say CDMA or HSPA+, etc, so maybe Google didn't really intend this page as applying specifically to the VZW version.

Based on everything I've seen and read so far, I still think we're getting a 32gb Nexus on VZW.

That's interesting being that Adobe announced that they are discontinuing Flash support for mobile devices.

I for one am fed up with Verizon and the lack of any information about the galaxy nexus. So much so that I have seriously considered going to another cell company. My contract is up, and I really don't see why I should stay, hell developers will have it ported to most phones before it is even released. Thanks for screwing a good thing up Verizon.

They wouldn't leave all future Android version owners in the dark like that... would they? :O

Help me edit it if necessary

Just a suggestion, but I would add 2 things:
1) With out a confirmed release date, potential galaxy nexus owners are now taking part in the rent a Razor/Rezound program. They are planning on returning the Razr and Rezound phones they have purchased once the Galaxy Nexus is released.
2) Unfortunately, the only other option Verizon Wireless customers currently have is to move on to another carrier, who currently carry phones that are somewhat comparable to the Galaxy Nexus.

Either decision, whether customers choose option 1 or 2, is evidence of a lack of customer service and appreciation on the part of Verizon Wireless. For those of us that have been long-time Verizon Wireless customers, this is an extremely disappointing turn of events.

 

[scottg96]

Anyways, getting back to my email;
What should I change/add? And should we plan on attacking their inboxes with it (as in all of us do our part and send our own copy) or just hope they take notice with this one email?

Good point, I will add it now

Steven said the thread had over 800,000 views at some point yesterday, but I don't know how many active members there are.

Will someone the the new Iphone please ask Siri. At least we will get an answer from Apple on a G-Nex release date.

Did you mean to say "They are planning on renting" or "They are planning on returning?"

In either case, I understand your intent and think it's an outstanding point to include in the letter.

I am taking names of people that post rumors so that when they post.other rumors I can justify saying they have no credibility.

Everyone should tweet this (obviously not the whole thing), but lets get people looking at it. Basically make it main stream news, so Verizon see's it. They won't like bad press.

add me to your tally of people.. been reading from page 600 or so. ive had the iphone since the 3g (now on the 4), and i see that i trend to jailbreak it to look like an andriod which makes it run slow as .. so im gonna try out the whole andriod expirience and hopefully start it out with the nexus.(only android i have is my xoom). but the rezound looks tempting aswell since i am i virgin to any cell phone exept iphone (dont throw rocks please . good thing im semi patient. by the way good morning to the community

I'm afraid if all were encouraged to send their own copies, the emails might be appended with some less attractive language, as some may want to let off some steam. One email to all, and follow it up as Verizon responds, or fails to respond.
