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

[owen sixteen]

hurray for michigan people! unless you guys are state alums/fans...

So I don't get a hurray for being a Sparty? Meanie Wolverinie!

I've been monitoring the GN forum at AndroidCentral. I discovered this thread today and must say, I seem to be a few weeks too late.

The AC forum is so stressful. So many whiners, so many angry people. This thread has been a breath of fresh air, much more enjoyable.

Reading this back to myself, I sound so pathetic. I need professional help. But seriously, this thread has been great to follow today.

Welcome to the insanity. You picked the right day to find us as today has been a whine free day.

Doubt it's the Asus Transformer Prime...he mentioned earlier a dual core 1.5ghz device for VZW LTE...the prime has the "Kal-el" Tegra 3 quad core processor...he also just tweeted it has a Super Amoled HD screen which would suggest a Samsung device...but from his tweets it's definitely a Tab and not a phone...

sounds like samsung galaxy tab 7.7

From one CO Husker to another- Welcome Well I fibbed a bit, I'm back in NE for now.

We are your professional help. And welcome to our party. Thankfully you caught us on an upswing.

Very true. There's been a few bad days, but overall, this is the place to be. We all play pretty nice with each other.

Holy crap, I've missed a lot tonight. I was experiencing "life" it seems.

1st - Drinking Yuengling tonight. Pre-layoff pitcher after work, then helped a friend move into his new house around the corner from mine and had another there. Feeling...tired... and relaxed... first time all week.

2nd - Be serious, how many of you knew that it was called "A New Hope" before Episode 1 was released? I always referred to the first one as just "Star Wars" and that's how it will forever live to me.

C. - So, we're thinking the 8th is fo-real? Maybe a pre-order, but, leaning toward quiet launch?

4th - Tomorrow has been "confirmed" (as much as this phone) as layoff day. if I'm posting around 10 am tomorrow, it's not good and I'll be waiting for a great deal on Amazon to get my Nex. If I make it through until 5, I'm all in for full price (err...well...full subsidized price) release day Ice Cream Sammich.

5th - If you were a dog... would you grab toys off of the counter, in their packaging during the day, then rip the packaging off in your daddy's bed, then leave said toy and destroyed packaging there and pretend like it never happened and hope he didn't notice? Just curious. I think I would do exactly that if I were a dog, so, all you can do is laugh when it happens.

F. - Good night Nexi-ricans. Hoping for only good news tomorrow and to be employed when the sun goes down.

Then I revert back to tablet. Xoom 2?

What other tablet could it be. I couldn't really care less

Spoiler

(you see how that phrase is appropriately used you guys. Wow "could care less" is annoying )

Haha I'm glad that I'm not the only one that finds it annoying that 97.4% of people say it wrong and don't know any better.

Basically yes. Today was a good day though. Probably and entertaining read from an outsiders perspective. I'd recommend it if you had the time...

...and a taste for alcohol hahaha

Seems P3 either has a VZW version of this or Moto was somehow able to get a Super AMOLED for the 8.9 inch Xoom2??

97.4%? Wow, I really need more free time hahaha

Hey crazy Nexus people! So, been quasi-lurking for the last couple days trying to keep up with the crazy train.
It seems to be becoming more certain that the 8th is our day we finally get it in our own grubby paws, is that right?

Edit: Ninja'd with the tweet.

Careful there, dude, I think your original post contains a certain banned word....

new droid xyboard / xoom 2 whatever?

Dear lord, are they really going with that horrid name!!??

 

[viperman2008]

Dodge Viper eh? I saw one of those all torn down when I first started with DaimlerChrysler.

ya I was obsessed with the viper when I was younger. If you see one driving around, it isn't me.

But if I remember correctly he did say 1.5 (not 1.4) LTE (not HSPA+) so that Samsung 7in couldn't be it could it?

More like:

Pretty much everything seems to point to Dec. 8th now...
You pessimist

i'd rather be pessimistic than disappointed.

GBR! and theres more than just you and me so keep a lookout.

 

[altimax98]

screw you VZWsupport and your dang cryptic tweets... can someone paste it, i cant paste on my tablet on this site for some reason.

 

[jasaero]

Pretty sure VZW could get their own special version quite easy. Could easily be basically same device at 1.5 instead of 1.4 and have LTE just for Verizon.

@VZWSupport: Yesterday=history, tomorrow=mystery, today is a gift. That

 

[ajdroidx]

Hey all. I am seriously thinking about filing for a seperation from Moto. Can't do a full divorce until I get a decent replacement for my Xoom. ICS and Data drop fix could prevent full divorce from Moto, I would think about keeping my Xoom.

That new transformer prime looks like a hot piece of tech

 

[crt134]

The day I could upgrade my phone has never felt so much like a birthday lol. Between following this thread, my upgrade coming on the 8th, and the nexus maybe coming out then, it is seeming better than a b-day almost haha
