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

[HanSolo]

OK,
So the terms are if the Droid 4 gets released on Dec 8th, and the GNex hasn't been released on or before that date.

Deal.

Deal.

Loser has to manually thank 100 posts of the winner.

That's an advertising map, and its at least a month old. Now?? Who knows what they're going to do.

I think they'll still follow it somewhat. Notice that it says samsung portfolio w/ galaxy nexus. They could use that vagueness to push stratosphere and/or illusion until the nexus does come out. I also find it interesting that after this weekend, the motorola line changes from just razr to razr/ motorola portfolio. That could have been our hint that another motorola phone was coming, and thus the droid 4 was discovered later. This makes sense, as much as we might hope for more.

Look at P3's reply to my (joking) tweet:
(I think he meant "click")

Does anyone else think that was a pretty lame thing to say? "I'm already in the know"...

Look who you're talking about. He's a technical expert, not marketing and should stick to that side. But the twitter followers are oooohhhh so tempting.

So people have seen this, and haven't gone back into thier posts to modify. That includes the quoted message too. I'm only trying to help kill this, because the mods won't be as forgiving.

Sorry I'll go back and redact my tweet

no more lame than making a fake claim

Been playing The Old Republic beta for the last two days (pretty good from what I've seen)

Can I get a brief recap of what's gone on in the pages and pages I missed? Please?

thanks in advance!

Wait a second, I just remembered this picture:

Looks like the Galaxy Nexus portfolio starts on 11/28 (Cyber Monday). Does this mean advertising or selling? Because Cyber Monday is actually looking pretty good for some sort of official GNex news after all :O

P.S. this also explains the onslaught of Rezound commercials...

Interesting. Everybody remember what date we saw the Galaxy Nexus online commercials come out (by mistake) from Verizon...

 

[Puchkey]

Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.​

Hey Han, Look closely. Until this photo was posted, I had no idea why you looked so framiliar to me. I had no idea you had a cameo in Ferris Bueler's day off. Good stuff...

Agreed. Was just pointing out that VZW's plans for the GNex may have changed since that map was leaked.

He's not goin to Cluck!? I thought Turkeys gobbled?

That's funny. I'm from Winter Garden, born and raised. West Orange c/o 1999. I went to church with a lot of people from SLHS though.

Haha, I went to Lakeview Middle School. Moved to clermont 3/4 of the way through 8th grade.

From what I have read isn't the droid 4 just an Razr with an keyboard?

 

[scottg96]

I was only kidding! But he's seriously acting like he knows more than us, which he probably doesn't.

 

[HanSolo]

Han any word from your sis about a release date? Or anyone else with a source???

No, sorry. But it's been a long weekend, so maybe Monday.

im feeling the gnex between the 28th and 2nd of next week, droid 4 on the 8th

What would make sense is for an announcement on Monday, release on Thursday (December 1), then release the Razr with the keyboard on the 8th.

But that's too logical for those numbskulls.

I'm really enjoying it. I did recently upgrade my PC so I'm not sure how it would do on whatever hardware you may have.

Hm? Which commercials :S

 

[garbageduck]

Pretty much the same phone with a keyboard but their is still a big market for keyboard enthusiasts (I was one but the gnex made me get over it)

 

[AntimonyER]

Agreed. Was just pointing out that VZW's plans for the GNex may have changed since that map was leaked.

Yeah we all panicked here when that came out, because we were all set on the 17th as the date. Oh for that to be right now

 

[HanSolo]

Dang it. Why do youtube videos keep screwing up the rendering?

We used to be able to post them without anything bad happening. What gives?

 

[jhawkkw]

I remember the droid life article on it says it basically is, only a little bit smaller 4" screen. Though there was no mention of what processor in that article.

We still know nothing. Recap is same information rehashed. More bs'ing. You're caught up now

/sigh

Maybe next week we'll know something.

Thanks for the confirmation of my assumption.

They very well might have. Without an updated advertising map being leaked, can only speculate at this point unfortunately.

remember the train... and the $199 price...

Best Android phones - CNET Reviews

I found this quite funny...It's the only phone with something negative in the little description about it. Weird...

It doesn't appear any of you agree with this review of the GN. (i admit most of you know a lot more about phones than i do) It made me wonder why I've been waiting for the GN since I really liked the Rezound the day I went to Verizon to check it out. It also makes me wonder if I should just keep waiting for something better to come along, maybe even the iPhone 5. Dare I say that on here? Although I could buy it and then give it to my son when he is eligible for an upgrade so i could buy myself another new phone. Is that wrong?
