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

[Mittar]

Am I the only one that actually DOESN'T want a pre-order period at all? Some selfish bit of me wants it to be announced as immediately available and to be able to drop whatever I'm doing, head to VZW and get one. No messy pre-order, blah blah hooplah!

Plus, I want to actually see it and hold it before I purchase - though I don't think that will make any difference in my decision.

TBH at this point I'd be happy with anything that tells me when I'm gonna get the bloody thing, but I would definitely like to play with it in store 5 minutes prior to taking it home

Nite. If anyone sees ANYTHING that looks like a drop or pre-release and you are up when it happens please PM me. My Dinc is on my nightstand. I will receive my notification and get out of bed to take a look.

I'm not encouraging anyone, but you know you're just asking for a midnight Pm that says "Goodnight! Talk tomorrow..."

 

[callmeox]

So I'm not the only one who can't stop thinking about this phone, eh?

Nope.

I almost pulled the trigger on he ReZound, but it is just a faster version of my Dinc and I really want the ICS experience in my next phone (sans Sense.)

Or the big Viking lady will sing this thread closed.
^^Pre-order could close this thread, yes,no?

Plan to close 11:30am the day the device is available in store.

FIRST POST......Thanks for all the knowledge and entertainment that's passed. I want to burn my iPhone 4. Was deciding between Titan (winmo) or one of verizon's big three.. Wanted the gnex until I heard about the 16gb.. That's why I decided against the windows phone. My other concern is missing the double data promotion. If I were picking one that gives you enough of what the nexus brings, which way should I go?

Pre-order or store. I would just like to get the phone soon.
Dragging the release just makes thing more insane.

Can't argue with that. The worst part about it is not knowing ANYTHING. Though i suppose that gives continual hope that it will drop the next day.

HanSolo: In your post #41654 you equated my defense of P3Droid to an ambiguous defense of Lee Harvey Oswald. I am sorry, but IMHO that was wrong. Very wrong. You obviously haven't been reading enough and/or know who P3Droid is and more so who is behind him.

pretty sure han said he was done talking about that, maybe you should drop it?

Going to bed, too. If there is an announcement or a pre-release that shows up on VZ, please scream "Haaaaaan!" at the top of your lungs.

I will feel a disturbance in the force, wake up, and take a look.

Nope. I want it announced and to be able to go see it, touch it, call it mine, love it and bring it home.

That would be better than a 1AM PM from Steven58, warning me what I don't need to be posting. I had just went to sleep and my phone went off. Just to get a warning! LOL

I'm not sure what you're asking but I, of course, would point you away from a Titan and toward an Android device.

I feel like I give "Thanks" to posts too often... is this bad? :S

LOL. we even have a time.

I read an article by Scott Adams (go figure) about the addiction of random reinforcement, I think we would reinforce his theories quite nicely.

Go to your local VZ corporate store and try them both for 15 minutes. Buy the one you like best. You can return anytime between your purchase and Jan 15. There are NO wrong options in these 3. Just don't do the Windows phone...

Welcome to the mad house. Only you can decide and my advice is to stick it out until Verizon decides to throw us a crumb

I lol'd and my cat looked up at me, blinked, and laid his head back down.

Yes, very. You have three days to live

 

[atrayn22]

Oh yeah, for those who think that VZW will lock the bootloader/add their apps: again, if the phone says "Nexus" it AIN'T gonna happen, not now or ever.

goodnight.

What if VZW drops the "NEXUS" name? Wouldn't be the first time VZW changed the name of a phone at the last minute.

Nah.

I would but Han doesn't know the ways of the force

That would be a pretty dumb move on Verizon's part...
Out of curiosity, though, what do you think they would call it then?
