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

[scottg96]

Seriously for a second. Just like we thought they'd be moronic to not release before BF... there is a point at which why bother to push for b4 Christmas. For example... 12/8 comes and goes, 12/15 comes and goes... what is the point of pushing for 12/24 if Christmas presents have already been bought.

Missing BF (possibly) is a huge mistake... biggest shopping day of the year. They will lose many customers to ATT, T-Mo, Sprint, etc... to SGSII and other good phones and much better plan rates.

My point being they already screwed the pooch (possibly)... what makes us think that they won't continue to make the same asinine mistakes?

If they released tomorrow it would be one of the best moves they can make at this point.

Hey guys, I'm back.
Someone update me on what has been discussed since I left
Also, I think I'm officially the most hated person on reddit, ever... You guys won't want to believe this based on my reputation, but this is HARD FACT: : Android

Maybe on both reddit and AF!

 

[IndecisiveElle]

Reviews are already in. The radios aren't moto good, but definately acceptable.

Are those the reviews for the LTE version though?

Okay guys / gals, I didn't want to explain this last week, but I too have a source. Let me explain:

I have an AKC golden retriever that has won many medals in competitions across the country. As such, requests for Scout's stud services come up often and when the timing is right, I agree to stud him out. Last week, I got a request from a "high ranking" Verizon Director of Marketing who wanted to breed her golden, Molly. I sent Scout to New York to perform the services and over the course of pillow talk, Molly told Scout that her owner told her the date was 12/8.

Now, I know what you must be thinking: "Even if Molly DID know the date and DID tell Scout what it was, how would he be able to convey this message to burntorangefan? He doesn't speak golden retriever!"

Well what I haven't told you is that Scout is also the spokesman for Bush's Baked Beans and as most of you are probably aware, he speaks PERFECT English!!! So there you have it, as much as I don't want to have to tell you, this information is extremely credible and I'd advise the OP be updated accordingly.

I don't believe it because I don't want to wait until Dec 8th. Now if Molly said Nov 21st, I'd believe it 100%

I'm really hoping for my Source to call me back soon...

False. I have been tracking the movement of all known pets of Verizon Marketing executives, looking for clues, and I have not noted any such liaisons. although there is this one shifty-eyed hamster that I am sure is up to something. but WHAT?

I didn't even know what Reddit was till last week. HA!

Chief, where is your source from?

The way I look at it is - they really don't care. They will get plenty of BF customers to buy the Razr, ReZound or any other phone. They won't lose any more customers than normal and are likely to pick up more with their current phone choices. Those who want this phone want it because of ICS. Whether they sell it tomorrow, last week, next week or December 31 it won't matter because there still won't be another phone with ICS. Why rush it? This way they can continue to sell other inventory without another phone to push. They will sell every Nexus they buy from Samsung. They really aren't worried when they start selling it.

anyone have a quick rundown of the last 36 hours.

 

[nj02vette]

Are those the reviews for the LTE version though?

Yes.
P3 gave his review on the phone.

 

[orlando bull]

I like the nexus

Off topic: how about them cowboys!!!

A little annoyed that they couldn't get Murray a TD. Happy that Bryant got one though. I don't care about the Cowboys, but, my fantasy team demands that those guys play well.

(oh, and when Mike Jenkins isn't hurt, I gotta pull for my boy from USF)

More OT... My fins are looking good, your boys better be ready on Thursday.

I hope they are at least as good as the one in the OG droid.

 

[jdduncan11]

Did they all fall down a well, because that's the only news I want to hear about them.

+1 Sorry Namrak

 

[nvitone23]

Didn't someone on this forum who works for Verizon state that he had to go in to work tonight to put up some new advertising posters? We should stay tuned tonight for what he says.

Yup he sure did, I just can't remember his username.

 

[scottg96]

I don't even get why people on reddit hate me. I simply posted a report on what I had been told, and I was just making predictions based on the pieces of the puzzle. I stated my opinion on the internet and they took it as fact and are now pissed that I was wrong... LOL

And now I'm just reporting more information--not even opinions--and they're getting mad at me again. I just don't get it :S

 

[MoPhoMan]

I've dealt with your type before my forum friend.... and you're probably the 5th person to make a joke about my user name too

My type? I thought I was unique.

themanchild, hes best buy mobile.

Yes.

Totally forgot about that already! Man the news has really flown through this week.

 

[scottg96]

I thought he was joking about it and said he was actually just going to the gym... lmao

 

[dalumberjack]

Question: I was surprised last week when I bought my wife the rezound that you can no longer upgrade in advance of your normal upgrade time. My Wife's upgrade was December 20th and I just assumed like all the other years with Verizon they wave the date since it was so close. Well they didn't and I had to use my upgrade.

So is it this way too on the phone if you call them to order a device? It never used to be. If so, guess I'm stuck till late December till I can get one.

 

[darejer]

He said he is for sure NOT getting any phones in on Saturday or Sunday (obviously) but Monday he will very likely have a shipment in, not sure if he would be authorized to sell on that day but I don't care because I'll coax one out of them

Scott, we want to make your friend the wealthiest VZW salesman in the country. What store is he at?

I think it might have been the piano student's mom story that burned your credibility for good.
