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

[woodraskam]

Is your hope based on anything other than the sheer desire for the phone?

Not sure if you saw, but there was 1 quote from another forum a couple pages back, just look for the "Thanks". Other than that, nothing to even nibble on really except for the mind games Panda is playing.

 

[vandyman]

You could be arrested for that vandy.

I will be watching the game on the tube. It was just a joke.

Gotta go later...

 

[Bonez]

There won't be an announcement today, I can tell you that much. Announcement tomorrow, release some day this week is likely.

That's what I'm sticking to, and what could very well be likely.

I don't get to go home for Thanksgiving and my only peace of mind was getting my greezy mits all over this phone for the 4 days I get out of work.

Maybe taking some panoramic shots up in Orlando..

Now I may just go out and get Skyrim and see what that is all about..

 

[DiegoKokomo]

I think you are good if you work from home on Wednesdays - because it is coming out on Wednesday (IMHO) - so go get that bad boy

No way they release it the day before Thanksgiving. It's either tomorrow or Friday if it's this week.

Thanks... just saw it. The things that we put our hope into

That makes me sad that you don't get to go home. Sorry big red may possibly add insult to injury.

Anyone read these tweets from panda/black_man_x?

Mornin all.. Like I said yesterday until units are in store dont count on vzw standing by any dates. No more nexus date talk. Its Pointless

to be honest everyone is tired of vzw bullshit. device is no longer a nexus due to their dumb ass games.. Unlocked works great on att..

If you can't code your shitty carrier apps to work with a device or OS.. is that our issue or yours? #justsaying

As for the storage question.. would vzw release a cheaper less mem model and still charge the same amount? Does that answer your question?

Not placing the blame all on Verizon.. there are screw ups on both sides.. but I wont share our dirty laundry.. now I am done. See ya!!

Sorry if these have been posted, take as you will.

My "Glass Half Full" self says web launch tomorrow, in stores 28th. That would mean you could get it tuesday or wednesday

I'm thinking of grabbing assassin's creed today for a welcome distraction.

 

[mountainlover]

Well, this might be why there's such a hold up:

Honest review from a critical nerd (me) - xda-developers

If that's the case, they can keep it in the oven a bit longer. I'd rather not have those issues straight out the box.

Ah. Didn't see the link already posted a few other times. My bad!

If I would have read this before I went to Verizon yesterday, I would have bought the Rezound. I really loved that phone.

 

[scottg96]

Likely? Why?

The first leaked Verizon doc said week of 11/21. 4-Day Websale ends on 11/21. Accessories, training, promo materials have all shown up in stores. Multiple VZ rep confirmations. The list goes on and on, and I'm feeling more and more confident it will be announced on Monday and released in stores after that.

 

[RkyMtnTiger]

I see the date has changed from 12/8 to 11/19....what info is new to make everyone think this change?

The "w/o = web only" thing has already been shot down, that's not what it stands for.

Accessories, training, promo materials have all shown up in some stores, others have none of the above.

Nooo, the AndroidForums owner made an announcement on the 19th, it doesn't have to do with the release date. I think they should change the title to week of 11/21 because that is the most likely at this point.

 

[darejer]

Nothing... 11/19 has to do with a letter to VZW that the forum want sot write. Then they will really care (sarcasm)

 

[scottg96]

Pretty sure all corporate stores have these. Not all resellers necessarily, but I think the priority will go to the corporate stores and then leftover shipments will go to resellers.

 

[orlando bull]

Or, the others are more tight lipped about it and haven't owned up to having those things. Maybe, they haven't opened the boxes marked "do not open until 11/21" that we heard about last week???

 

[pcriz]

Don't feel too bad for me, the old lady and I conjured up an early Thanksgiving last month before I left.

From nothing to Thanksgiving in less than 24 hours, usually I spend a week prepping for that one day.

Reminds me of my old high school rule:
Two week report - Start on day one, take two weeks to complete
Start the night before turn in, take 5 hours. (trollogic)

 

[BabyBlues]

I feel like this is us lately

 

[darejer]

My guess is that they are either nothing... or red Dinc2's

 

[woodraskam]

There have been many many posts about people asking if their store had an accessories and being told no. Same with Training.

Oooh when did we hear about "do not open until 11/21"? That pretty much sums up my confirmation of release next week right there!!!

We don't care for anyone hating on anyone.

And around here, no one mods for personal reasons.

No one.

Our system of cross checks on mod actions guarantees it.

Well, I'm going to say a couple of more things here before I go down for the evening.

Those that were hating CK (CerealKiller), carefull. He is about as high up the food chain on several android sites (DF is one I know of) and I wouldn't doubt it if he were made a mod (or more) here as well, so if you get on his wrong side he will soon have the ban hammer here as well.


The earp is done.

...besides, CK ain't like that. he's just here to have fun, and talk Andy - nothing more. he's very much an enthusiast, but he's not vindictive or petty.

p.s. teddy - good to see you around these parts!
