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

[BabyBlues]

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

I think they are possibly now able to use it as a double edged sword.

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

I got three hours left and I'm outta here... definitely don' want to be at work today.

 

[AntimonyER]

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........

Just make sure your file of BB's avatar pics doesn't get mixed in with your case files

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.

Yeah, this is a great post. Thanks!

Semi lurk mode activated, scoping out the troop movements. Anything new? Thanks in advance. Reactivating lurking mode.

sounds military.

A slight jab at Verizon from Samsung?

Twitter

Jab at Apple. Goes in line with their commerical.

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.

That's the problem with phone delays. You get into the next generation with higher specs. I assume the processor being 1.5 is higher? Although, not necessarily, I know.

Nothing new but my Verizon rep sent me this, she said she got this announcement this morning.



VZW is excited about the recent announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Verizon Wireless will carry the device and expects to launch it later this year. Features include:
• The latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Operating System
• Google + with group video calling
• 4.65" HD Super AMOLED display
• Slim and curved design
And, all on America's Fastest and Most Reliable 4G LTE network!

I don't know...I have a Dinc and have been following all the Android updating drama over the last 1.5 years or so. I don't really care if the nexus comes out in March 2012 it's really the only Android phone I can see myself upgrading to.

I like getting all the newest operating systems features and don't want to be stuck waiting 6 months plus for updates that end up being buggy.

I've learned from my own Dinc updating debacles and from others who wait and wait and wait and wait.

My bottom line choice IS: Nexus or NO Android. Rooting is not my thing so that is not a viable option for me.

Just my two cents.

Good to hear, but Verizon gave this announcement back in October.

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!

I'm hoping that BB's Princess Leia avatar will coax Han back.

That's basically an LG RezoundT. It also has a 720p IPS display, LTE, and even more on-board storage. Plus with VZW, you get much better LTE coverage.

 

[lickwidravr]

well, lunch time for me guys and gals, i'll be back soon (as if i'm not going to be browsing on the App anyway) i hate android forums so much for getting me addicted to this thread, but i love it about ∞ times more

Not moi. If they announced March 2012 I'd be going to the Rezound. As much as I'd like SGN, in my mind it's not "that" much better than the Rezound to wait that long.

Yet another nice LTE phone by AT&T and their promises to get LTE in so many more cities in the very near future. No VZN is not listening to us but they are listening to this news. I love American capitalism at it's finest because news like this is what makes VZN take note and action. BAM!

When Verizon finally announces a date, the first person to post it here will break a world thanks/sec record.

Pretty sure the Rezound is SLCD and not IPS, that's why it's off angle viewing isn't so great.

Quoted for truth

Just ordered from negrielectronics.com who had it in stock. I paid for overnight shipping. It should be in my hot little hands tomorrow.

...AND they are including a USA charger which Expansy only includes an adapter for the EU plug.

I think you may be right. Like I said earlier, I want to be here for that.

Very cool, keep us updated.

Edit: Just looked again, everything I see on their site still says ships 12/9/11

An LG RezoundT? You did see that the Best Buy ad was incorrect, right? The Rezound is made by HTC.

Also, it's possible that I don't know enough about displays, but the Rezound's is a super LCD, whereas the Nitro has LG's AH-IPS (Advanced High-Performance In-Plane Switching) technology; no Pentile matrix, and reportedly less energy-draining.

Just wanted to pop in an say hi to everyone, I took a break over thanksgiving weekend, beetween thanksgiving and camping out at target and not sleeping that night because i was black friday shopping i was pretty busy. I hear some people saying pre-order tomorrow? Lets cross our fingers but I am not getting my hopes up lol.....back into lurk mode I am pretty busy here at work.

I like how they keep hammering at the time frame being "later this year". Uh guys, you really only have one month left. Why can't you change those generic announcements and bullet points to something more specific like "next month" or "December".

I know, I know...it's basically a canned message.

 

[Laxstar785]

A part of me wishes I got a Rezound while it was on sale this past weekend....lol it was on sale right? I thought i saw people talking about it on here.

 

[AntimonyER]

Based on how the original announcement transpired, most likely a well connected tech site like Phandroid, BGR, Droid-life, etc. will have it first. Verizon sent the release out to them a few minutes before posting it on their site.
