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

[woodraskam]

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

Something doesn't jive.

High School Scott mentioned that.

I went to Costco yesterday and they told me flat out its coming on the 22nd

 

[red66charger]

I'm as anxious as anyone for the GNex but am I the only one who is just going to patiently wait for it?

Pretty much!

 

[MSUgEEk]

How many times does it need to be said, Verizon will NOT release a phone on Black Friday. End of story.

People on this forum don't take kindly to fake claims; so are you positive or are you just breaking our stones?

 

[TheWaiter]

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.

What would you like? The phones of the day are the Razr or the Rezound. But I would suggest waiting a while for the Galaxy Nexus

Verizon Wireless Brings The Power Of Its 4G LTE Network To Dover, Delaware, December 15

Read through the latest PR from VZW (because I have nothing else to do). It says



so nothing really good to note, but Verizon didn't say as of 11/21/11

Haha, just realized they are expanding the Savannah area already, after just launching last week.

Black Friday - biggest shopping day of the year. I'm pretty sure that's why they're shooting for it, who knows though.

Well ya I get that but they aren't gonna discount it on release day... So they really aren't gonna sell very many extra units of it then they would releasing any other day.

 

[Stigy]

Thanks for the update Han.

This is getting real frustrating now. Was hoping to have the phone for Thanksgiving weekend, but it's not looking like it now.

GG Verizon -- dropping the ball as usual.

Hey Verizon! ( explicit hand gesture coupled with your choice of cursing insult)

Can you hear me now?!?!?!? Jerks

 

[Mach Droid]

I went to Costco yesterday and they told me flat out its coming on the 22nd

Didnt someone post a Verizon bar graph showing release dates..I think that said the 22nd.Maybe there is still hope! On that graph it had a sale ending on the 21st.

Galaxy Nexus coming to Bell and Virgin Mobile Canada December 8th, pre-orders begin today -- Engadget

Hey look at it this way. Maybe the CEO of Verizon has such a dislike of all things Canadian, he will see this and tell the peons "Look here folks, no way we let CANADA beat us to releasing this phone. I don't care what you have to do, I want this phone out ASAP!".

Spoiler

Hey, I can dream right?

Did they have phones in stock? Cause if not no way they are putting it out tomorrow (unless you meant the 22nd of December).

Yes, yes you are..

I'm going to guess at least 9 more...

Of what month and year?

Probably ninja'd, but

This has been explained ad nauseum...with no SD card, there is no such thing as Mass USB storage. However, there IS a method to transfer between the phone and your PC...it's just called something different.

 

[X24]

Friday is the earliest I can see this coming. More likely is the week after.

 

[Droid2001]

I didn't pursue it further cause I didn't believe him. He seemed very confident though. Asked an associate and they said "22nd". He gave me his card too.

I went to the Verizon store after that, told them about what Costco told me and they shrugged it off and said if they had to guess, it'll come before Black Friday, but they don't know.

Probably.

Im tired of waiting. May just wait altogether at this point.

Thanks once again to VZW for botching something superb.

 

[surfboard3r]

I see people on here like ," im not going to get this phone now to spite verizon for making me wait so long before they release the phone."

JUST like the Dinc waiting thread. But then someone (maybe me this time) will say,


One or two people not getting a Galaxy Nexus does not make a difference for Verizon, you are simply left without the phone.

Besides, waiting a little longer for bug fixes is actually a good thing in my mind because id rather have a perfectly functioning phone than one with bugs
