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

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.

Where did you see it having ICS on release?

 

[okplaya]

I find it odd that all of the prior "sources" have provided no information in the past few weeks. Very strange...

I wish I was willing to spend $750. I certainly have it, but not willing to spend.

New Verizon MAP and no new info on the Galaxy Nexus... ugh.

New Verizon MAP List is Out: DROID Bionic Drops to $199 On-contract

According to that map, the Gnex is delayed as it was supposed to have come out on the 10th.

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:

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.

I'd like that. But that shiznit ain't the truth. The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.

<-------------- 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.

we all have a despise/love relationship in here - you'll fit right in. ...especially with that username!

"Irwin M Fletcher, Irwin Muhatmah Fletcher"

"I be Calculus Entebee. who you be?

I be Fletch, Geometry Fletch. She be Trigonometry Ross."

Ugh, seriously? AT&T is getting an official ICS phone before Verizon? This is terrible.

 

[wyggles]

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

Now I do, but I only noticed it because you mentioned it. Thanks a lot : p.

 

[zebug]

What is my propensity for getting myself involved with phones that can't seem to launch smoothly? Inc! TB! And now this!

Why oh why can't I just lust after a feature phone, haha?

And what's the common denominator? I think it starts with a V and ends with erizon.

And where the heck did the Nitro come from? I thought I followed this stuff pretty closely but I haven't heard a peep about a Nitro phone that is in the same neighborhood as the other big 3 that VZW is releasing.

Here's to hoping that some big VZW executive misses out on his multi-million dollar holiday bonus due to this mess. Then he will have to learn how to live on $10 million dollars a year rather than $15 million....HA

Pretty sure it's GB on release

 

[WyntersEnd]

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

Oh, depression. For sure.

Who knew a reference to Dante would spark so many posts. I love it!

We are in the second circle most days. With field trips into fifth and seventh often.

This is what leads me to believe that, despite "insider" assurances that there's nothing wrong with the Nexus on VZW, there's some issue that is causing the delay. It makes no sense at all that VZW would be willing to allow other carriers to tout HD screens and ICS and potentially loose sales just so they can push the RAZR and Rezound, especially after making an agreement for an exclusive.

For the life of me I don't know why, but I just cannot bring myself to even consider an LG smartphone. It's like going shopping for boots and my girlfriend suggesting I get a pair of Uggs. Dismissed immediately.

Welcome, Irwin! Glad you de-lurked. (Irwin is my father's name, btw).

Here it says the LG Nitro runs Android 2.3.5 Gingerbead: AT&T&#8217;s LG Nitro HD Gets Official: LTE, 720p Display, $249 | TechCrunch

Tierra del fuego.

...and give each other 20 dollars.

ok optimistic side here.....maybe this means that the GNex will release before the 4th!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?! *insert shocking music here*

 

[RazorSharp]

And where the heck did the Nitro come from? I thought I followed this stuff pretty closely but I haven't heard a peep about a Nitro phone that is in the same neighborhood as the other big 3 that VZW is releasing.

It's been called the "LG Optimus LTE" or the "LG SU640" up to this point.

 

[EarlyMon]

Where did you see it having ICS on release?

Pretty sure it's GB on release

GSM Arena usually does a good job on specs - they're listing it with ICS and available as coming soon.

Maybe you're right, it will be GB on release - but based on past performance of GSM Arena...

Note my wording, the following if true..

I was about to say, no way LG got ICS in a phone that fast.

 

[Mooem]

Edit: Beaten several times!

Guys I'm pretty sure the LG Nitro will be released with Gingerbread and it will be upgraded later to ICS. Don't be alarmed.

This thread needs more Pulp Fiction references.

The Nitro (aka the Optimus LTE) is included in today's released list of phones that will get the ICS upgrade (Android Central link), but it seems to confirm that the Nitro will not ship with ICS.

Completely disagree... LG makes some really nice phones. Just few and far between.
