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

[Mach Droid]

Exactly why I'll never buy MOTO crap again. I'll buy a new battery and slap it in my OG Droid and wait on the new stuff in Q1 2012 if this Nexus isn't out by the 15th.

With that being said: What phone would you buy in Q1 2012?

There have been some casualties though.

We lost a lot of good men out there.

Yes. But, as much as I have my own thoughts on some things and the way they happened, our casualties were self imposed. As far as I know no one was officially kicked out of camp. They were just put on behavioral watch.

I feel like I have to watch the whole video as punishment for falling for it.

lol me too. I was ticked off and then I clicked on the link and started laughing. Such a relief!

Does anyone know the exact size of the screen with the software buttons showing? I'm hoping larger than 4.3" but I have a feeling it will be about that....

 

[Mach Droid]

Interesting... Another person replied earlier and stated that it could be done and that they had done it in the past. Hmmm...

I was on the phone with the Verizon rep asking a bunch of questions and threw that one in as I read it. She was very clear on her answer,Fwiw.

Not sure myself but the software buttons will hide on most apps that screen size would make a huge impact

Nah I think it just ties more in w/ the theme of their commercial campaign and the folks waiting in line for....

The screen measures 4.65 inches. Not sure what the size would be if you factored out the space taken up by the software buttons. 4.3 sounds about right.

Yep, 4.3 with buttons showing.

@SamsungMobileUS I'd rather be knowing when the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is being released than waiting in line. #stopwaiting

I just called Verizon and pre-orders have to be paid for upfront and can not be billed to your Verizon account.

Hey everyone I want to tell you what I know for a fact...

After 4 days off for Thanksgiving and coming back to work I definitely miss my bed and I have only been at work for 4hrs

IMHO, I would rather have capacitive buttons (and the full screen) We will have to wait and see I guess. If we do not hear anything soon I am buying an unlocked version and jumping the VZW train. I would rather not but I want a pure Nexus Device and VZW is really rubbing me the wrong way with this whole thing.

Gah. If there is one phone that tempts me away from Verizon and the Nexus, it's probably this one:

AT&T announces the LG Nitro HD with 720p display and LTE - Android Central

Supposedly the IPS HD screen technology is amazing. Even though it's only 4 GB internal storage, it does have SD card support.

hahaha, that's awesome. It would have been better if they'd thrown in an @VerizonWireless, but I'll take it!

Actually it's in reference to their new add that takes a shot at Apple fans who wait in line: https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA?sk=app_139823946122404


Although it could be a side shot at big red

I am not consumed by this phone or thread as I hit and run between surveillance assignments but......... When I have been logged in..............

I have gone from Enthusiastic and Excited, to Disappointed but faithfully Optimistic, to Manic, to Numb = which is my current state.

If a post starts with "If", or "I think" or "I believe", or is Long Winded being over 8 lines of text or has a video I just move on by.

I just wait and scroll looking for the final word........

Twisted. That's all I have to say

I think they may be referring to a new promo vid for the GS2. Could be wrong though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNxDd3l0lEU

Just wait,Look towards the sun,you will see the Millenium Falcon swoop in with a message anytime now.There is no way he could keep good news to himself. Come back Han!

For those that post stuff from Twitter, please at least put what the tweet contains in quotations. Twitter is blocked at work for most of us. A link to the tweet does us no good.

As far as what phone I would buy in Q1 2012...I don't know because they haven't been released or announced yet. Do you honestly think they're going to announce phones that are coming in Q1 when they won't even announce when phones are coming in Q4 of 2011? There's already a new HTC in the works that we know of that will release in Q1. I'm sure Samsung will have an offering in the early part of 2012 as well. If they are with different carriers...well, I might have to consider that.

Does anyone else think that Samsung's #stopwaiting campaign in the US has EXTREMELY bad timing?

Pretty nice looking device. But given the LG Skin I think I'm more interested in the girl in the video.
