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

[wyggles]

Pretty nice. I will say after getting a taste of VZW LTE, I ran a speed test 20 down 10 up, it really tipped the hand to VZW's side. Combine that with my grandfathered unlimited plan and you get the only reason I'm still waiting for this phone.

I don't doubt the allure of 20 down and 10 up, but I'd be paying $55 extra a month if I went with Verizon.

<-------------- Out of lurker mode to tell you all that I despise you! In a way that I despise my parents for calling me to tell me that "another Dunkin Donuts" shop opened up by them when I don't have a single one in my city. I want what I can't have and you all make me WANT! I say despise in the nicest possible way. It's a despise/love relationship.

My name is Irwin (but you can call me Fletch) and I am (NOW) a Nexaholic.

Welcome to our version of Dante's Inferno. I'm not sure what circle we are in but we keep one another company. Glad to see you joining us publicly.

I remember back in October, when I thought November 3 was going to be the release date...

I remember in late October/early November when I thought November 10 or 11 might be the date...

I remember in early/mid November, when I thought November 17 might be the date...

I remember post November 17 when I thought November 28 might be the date...

And now we believe Dec. 8th might be the date.......

Do you know how I know we aren't in Hell? Ever heard the story about the two rooms full of people, where there is a pot of food in the middle, and everyone has a spoon that is 6ft long? One room everyone is starving, because the spoon is too long for them to get the food in their own mouths. That is Hell. The other room everyone is well nourished and happy. Because they learned to feed each other. We are that second room.

Nope. Cause I enjoy making you all smile and I enjoy the Google searches trying to find them even more.

Hey guys. Just got my Nexus in the mail from Expansys and I was instantly enamored with it. You guys have way more patience than me, but I can assure you it's worth it.

One thing I wanted to share that I don't remember being said yet is there's an option in the browser under "Labs" that takes away the nav bar and replaces it with a quick menu. Just swipe in from the right or left. Leaves even more room for content. I thought it was pretty cool.

I am very happy to see that this came over from Honeycomb. I use it on my xoom and find myself trying to pull up the quick menu in other apps.

And it is later this year now than it was when you wrote that

Whoa! That's heavy!

As an engineer, I live in a third room where everyone has learned that just because a spoon is six feet long doesn't mean you need to hold it from all the way at the end.

Hey wyggles, do you see any colorful sparkliness/noisiness in your screen? Like in this picture? Also, I am profoundly jealous of you.

I think we're in the process of digging the 27th circle. Dante was an optimist!

Not to detract from this beautiful metaphor, but those guys in the first room should think back to their Little League days and learn how to choke up on the spoon handle

Maybe they'll announce the Nexus here?

Official: AT&T Announces LG Nitro HD, Available Dec. 4th for $249.99

Verizon... did you see this? They are beating you both in release date and price... are you seeing this? Do you care? Are you out there?

Holy cats.

Another HD choice and if the following is true, already with ICS on release.

LG Nitro HD - Full phone specifications

Loving that Android choice, ftw.

I just ran it again, it was 4g.

I beg to differ. Hell is a place that burns with an eternal fire hotter than any fire we have ever known here on earth, there is no water, no food, nothing....not even death. It will be the dwelling place for many for all of eternity

Which best describes your current state in this whole murky/shady/botched release date fiasco?

Interesting... I guess that will make VZW NOT the first carrier to have ICS in the US on a phone. Go Big Red!

Yep, you're an engineer, because I had the same thought. But it takes something away from the story when you say it is duct-taped to your hand so you can't choke up on it
