Ok, why are the soft keys gray now instead of the black that makes them match with the front of the phone? The gray looks pretty dumb, I hope that isn't going to be stuck like that on the Verizon version.

I don't think that picture is accurate of what we'll see in person. The notification bar seems to be grayish/black as well, which I'm sure will be a true black.

The lady at my Verizon store said the purpose of running the Double the Data promotion was to get people off of 3G and onto 4G. Apparently the iPhone is sucking up the 3G bandwidth and they want to entice Android people to use 4G.

They can do this by releasing the Galaxy Nexus

I sure hope so! Just hadn't seen any pictures with it gray before now and those apparently are coming from Verizon. Until I see them in person though I'm not going to worry too much.

It's just terrible that they can advertise Double Data as such a good deal when 2 years ago, data limits were only for non-smartphones.

Curious, in the recent past (say 1 year), has Verizon ever done a preorder release w/ out any type of press release? Just trying to gauge the day's uncoverings.

Anyone else know the pogo pins (technically pads) on the side of the phone are gold again, as opposed to that other photo where the pins were silver.

Exactly as I predicted............I'm so awesome. Someone hand me a cookie.

Wow...Binary huh? How long have I been away from this thread???

I now feel bad about saying (several HUNDRED PAGES ago) that I hoped this was not released until January because that's when I'm eligible for upgrade.

Clearly, this waiting game is causing some serious mental breakdowns

Well - a few of us were stocking up on energy drinks to follow the thread... and...

Hopefully the clean up method is the same.

Hopefully not the last thought right? lol

Just got back from school everyone. Saw the leaked press shots on my phone during school... pretty cool

Yep I noticed that too! Also the volume rocker doesn't have +/- "engravings" as was previously thought. Looks like those previously leaked side view pictures were incorrect

 

[TKEnzy]

Unless pressing F5 counts as work, I officially got nothing done in the office today. I may need to ween myself off of this thing.

Spoiler

I don't think it's possible

 

[RazorSharp]

Whoa, explosion of binary! Good thing I had actual work to do today, I'd have been totally lost. I was following along with the image announcements though, I expect to see you all on IRC tonight for the "unofficial" pre-order and/or maybe release party!

I am having a tough time deciding which of these images are fake...

That's easy...the SGN LTE...since they seem to be MUCH more rare!

Long time lurker first time poster. I went into my local VZ last night asking when the DD promotion might end. The manager assured me that the promotion will continue through 12/31. The irony of the story is when I was waiting there for the manager the music playing in the background was the same as that in the Galaxy Nexus: Calling All video!

I want to warmly welcome to you Android Forums membership. You are now in with the cool kids.

so we all know there are way more android phones out there than iPhones...

but is there something i'm missing? why do carriers all of a sudden want to change their packages of data because of one silly fruit phone? i was under the impression that android used up a lot more background data. i suppose sprint's been hangin in there tough, but there was talk about them moving away from that model and joining the tiered ranks.

One of the posts specified our Lounge location for that stuff.

I'm a little worried that British Turbo is the only good leaker today.

Any word from our magnificent sources?

I don't think any preorders were quiet, but when the Rezound was released Verizon didn't make any announcements about it, also no preorders.

 

[monitron]

Were the phones released or announced?

Released, or made available for preorder. All of them were announced ahead of time, though...
