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

[RazorSharp]

Really, 3 to 5 seconds? I have the same phone and it takes up to 15 to 20 seconds for me.

Same with me. It was infuriating. I tried a few alternative launchers but didn't like any of the ones I tried. However, I did notice that getting rid of Lookout (anti-virus) and Advanced Task Killer did help a bit. I'm hoping rooting the phone will reduce the problem further.

Hey guys and gals, I'm a first time poster but long time watcher, and hence my name I've been waiting for this phone for awhile. I check all sorts of websites each morning. The sad news is just the other day I just dropped my original Eris and cracked part of the screen. The phone is pretty much on life support. What's the likelihood we even get a release date this month?

Will you consider naming your first born child "Verizon"?

Welcome to the madhouse. Likelihood is 50/50. Sorry it's not better than that.

 

[Jeepo]

It's in the UK, Canada, and now Australia...At this rate, Guam and P'yong Yang are going to get it before us...

Knew you guys should have stayed as a colony, look what you would have had!

 

[darejer]

Verizon is fast approaching the cutoff date for which I will buy this phone. I'm considering not buying it out of spite now. I'll be danged if I purchase a phone 2 months after it was announced. You're pushing the limits of a phone's ability to last through a contract with the pace technology is increasing if you release it 3 months after announcing it.

Amen... all that I have to see is "2012" and I'm a new Rezound owner.

 

[Sushibagel]

That video is great but it just goes to show people have way too much time on their hands lol

I knew that Revolution was a mistake!

Please don't spam Verizon's wall with TheRoosevelt's video. All you're going to succeed in doing is forcing TheRoosevelt to take down his hilarious video. It will not affect Verizon and their decisions at all.

With all due respect, how would posting it on their wall force the video to be removed from Youtube? It's not property/copyright infringement (if I'm not mistaken).

Of course posting the video on their wall is childish. It doesn't help the decision-making go any faster. But again, that's not the point. Just retorting back at a multi-billion dollar company...

Freaking frakkity frick!!! WTH Verizon release the phone already so I can get back to my normal life.

Awwww, I thought you were here to take our order.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you came out of lurk mode.

A release this month is looking doubtful at this point. Sorry to hear about your Eris. This is going to be quite a jump in size and specs for you. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long to replace it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but NE2 is only a discounted price and mabey a few loyalty bucks. Its not a free phone like in the old days. Plus its a start of a new contract. I dont see it as much different than my renewing in Dec when my renew date is in June and my early date is Feb2 2012.. I'm still going to pay 299 or what ever, just change my contract date.

Yeh, I'm just kinda of worried I will get a....

"Sorry Mr gapi but your 2 year contract term has expired so we cannot honor a NE2, a $50.00 loyalty discount, and the unlimited data plan ended at the contract end date."

Welcome! Not much likelihood at this point of seeing a November release. Although all hope is not lost. We have had doomsdays before turn around after new info comes out. Sorry to hear about your Eris.

Guys, got a text from my sister:

this week was set. they found some bugs though, and depends on when they can get fixes. they're still aiming for Friday. sorry :-(

I texted back:

Do you know what bugs? Is it legit, or just corporate BS?

Edit:

She just texted back:

Well it was testing up til weekend so probably legit.

So... were people asking for a Galaxy Nexus Hitler rant?

Hitler Rants about the Galaxy Nexus - YouTube


I was bored, ok?
I know everyone can relate to this

I am so glad I finally took a look at this. OMG! THIS IS EPIC! lol

 

[X24]

I can easily replicate this on my OG Droid:

1. Open up facebook
2. Hit the home button and open up the Gallery app
3. View a few pictures
4. Hit the home button
5. My home screen wallpaper appears instantly, but my icons take 3-5 seconds to show up. If my phone is being particularly slow, it takes around 7-10 seconds.

Just tried on my OG. Didn't skip a beat. You don't happen to be running gingerbread?

 

[rpretzel]

Two separate VZW stores in my area are saying "early December" launch for he Nexus.

D'oh! Just give us the phone! I can deal with bugs, they'll get fixed!!!

Rezound does look like a pretty sweet phone other than the big disappointment (for me) that Beats Audio is not a beefy soundcard/software and just an EQ player for bass/settings.

It wouldn't force the video to be removed, however if people were using one of your videos "against your will" wouldn't you take it down so they can't do it anymore? If "we" keep putting it on Verizon's wall then I could see him taking it down to prevent us from doing so. TheRoosevelt already asked that we don't keep posting it there, I think we should all respect his wishes.

 

[HanSolo]

Didn't someone here say that their store guy had 50 SGN's on the way?

Something doesn't jive.

She just texted back:

It don't understand why they would want ti release Black Friday. It just doesn't make sense to me. If that's the case I am not fighting crowds timetable it im waiting till the craziness dies down and praying they will still have some in stock when I go together one in the afternoon.

That Scott96 or something said that..

 

[TeeJ911]

So we have tried the 'bug the crap out of Verizon approach' w/ no luck and that is no surprise, they withheld cuddle time w/ Apple for years and years and years. Imagine doing a blink battle w/ Steve Jobs for years. Who can we bug now because this has gotten boring. Google?

 

[gapi]

I cannot help but wonder what is the criteria for selecting phone testers.

If they picked some of the people from this forum we would have revealed and submitted all the bugs in a 24 hour period and the phone would have been out a month ago.
