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

[EarlyMon]

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.

I think the change is all about the explosion of users finding good phones that are completely internet-effective and putting them to top use.

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.

Their PR says 11-3-11

I am going to have a major leak tomorrow.... Everyone stay tuned

Been drinking to much of the Nexus juice

I know this has been talked about before but I want to go ahead and throw this in there.

My co-worker's daughter works as a CSR for Verizon. This probably isn't any new info, but she said they don't tell any of the CSR's in the call center about phones until it's on the website. Meaning? If the XYZ phone isn't online, they know nothing. Gotta love how the higher up's lock up intel...

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

The ban the person ahead of you one? Yeah, not going there.

 

[BabyBlues]

Hopefully the clean up method is the same.

Yup!

Hopefully not the last thought right? lol

Not at all. This is educational, fun and satisfying!

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.

I would think they would make an announcement that they're beginning pre-orders and do so at the same time. That way it's not silent but you're not waiting for a pre-order announcement, which seems sort of dumb... lol

True, however if so many people leave other carriers to get an iphone on Verizon, or current android users get an iphone instead they're all going to use 3g and 3g only. However as an android user we have phones with 4g connectivity, if you can get a ton of people of your 3g network it'll improve the performance for everyone still on it. And we will be happy with our ridiculous 4G/LTE speeds.

Damn! An exception. I was hoping to relax from the idea preorders or potential release could happen in the next 24hrs but that crushed it.

FYI, final stages of testing now in progress after minor bug fixes. If all is well December 8th will remain unchanged.

I will keep everyone up-to-date if anything happens.

As far as I know (AFAIK for the acronym junkies), preorders have always been announced prior to it going live.

Can the computer science club take the code antics outside please?

Too nerdy in here.

If you are expecting a long Nexus pre order period from vzw keep dreaming lol. Just saying.

he just tweeted that, claims to have some info..who knows

We could get an announcement tomorrow for release on the 8th. One week is not a long announcement period either.

No looking to see if there was an occasion where preorders or just a release has ever occured w/ out Verizon making an official announcement. Preorder or buy in store makes no difference to me.

 

[woodraskam]

No release date was given by Verizon though, just by HTC. Samsung's ceo dude said Verizon's Nexus would be available in Nov...he has 8 hours left to be correct.

In the press release, it says Nov. 14th

Heh! Seeing the Verizon 7 Day Webb Sale that contains only Pre-owned (Once Rented) devices tells me to ponder the pre-order to begin on 12/5 after the attempted dumping of all the rentals.

Ugh!

Well, I'm in the van and all setup for Jody to arrive and ninja his boss's spouse. He is due any minute so I'm outa here until Jody is outa there.

Sorry you are correct. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks to everyone for the thanks and credit for the image finds on the VZW website! Unfortunately, I've let it go to my head. I'm opening up my CafePress account right now, and you'll all have a chance to buy my t-shirt!

 

[woodraskam]

Sorry you are correct. Thanks for pointing that out.

Believe me, I want there to be hope of a preorder or release without an announcement.....but I have yet to see an example (with the excludion of feature phones like the G'Zone). I was hoping the fact that no PRs have been released today would mean something.


Verizon does have a history of officially announcing phones 1-3 days prior to release on phones where there isn't a preorder.

Long time lurker, finally joining the fray...

Was wondering what people are making of P3Droid's:

Android wifi-tether does not work with the nexus

Is this something people have seen on other devices before, if so are there particular hardware issues / limitation that cause this sort of thing?

I think whoever thanked your original post should get a free shirt.

Thanks for all your info today! So will there be a pre-order period or not? It seems like if this will release on the 8th, pre-orders would have to start within the next day or two.
