No... we still don't know when online ordering will be available and that is the most important info (to me)!!!! grrr....

 

[SuperTongue]

Just wondering: If I buy this at a corporate store, any chance they'll let me open the box? I have this... thing... haha

I honestly don't care if I have to open it in the store, but I just like being the person to start it up and everything. And seeing as it's coming out on a Friday, I want to refrain from ordering online so I can play with it over the weekend.

Just ordered my Screen Protector and my case.

Or just use the regular battery for a few months until Amazon sells the extended for half that price... my 2 cents.

I havent noticed many Ohioans commenting on what they have heard from stores. Anybody from the Akron area call stores? I am wondering what kind of competition I have friday morning

 

[thecandidate]

My store in Manalapan, New Jersey has them in stock and the Sales Rep confirmed the 12/9 release date! Oh my God, I'm so excited! I've waited for this day for about 4 months!!

I'm gonna go to the Manalapan store because the best buy and costco are so close by. Did they say how many they are going to get????

I would consider keeping the regular battery and getting an external charger. It's great to rarely have to plug in your phone.

 

[BabyBlues]

I have never once looked at a phones user guide.............until now.

Me either. It's like foreplay this time.

Spoiler

Has anyone given a thought about a 2012 Galaxy Nexus desk calander with a avatar a day by Baby Blues and a rumor of the day posted on the bottom of the page.Each month can be dedicated to a different topic,such as: release dates,My CSR said,16 or 32 gig. Etc......jus a thought.

/HIDE][/spoiler]

I could manage a monthly calendar. Hmmmm. This has potential.......

Hey Everyone! Long time lurker, first post. Just a heads up for any Port St. Lucie, FL people. I just spoke to the corporate store in Stuart, FL. They will have the GN for Friday morning. I have an appt. for 9AM He stated they have gotten a lot of calls lately. I am so happy!!!! Thank you to everyone who filled my days with news, good times, and sad times. Looks like the wait is over!!! By the way original droid owner and damn proud of it!

Welcome to our crazy life!

Talk about irony,4600+ posts and get banned 2 days before release.

Exactly!

I hate to do this when the thread is so awesome but PM it to me and I will take one for the team...

I can't believe it took this long for that offer. Lol.

Hey everyone! Long-time lurker of this thread. Figured I'd come out of hiding. I have a question though...

I've always had Verizon activate my phones in store. But like most of you, I want to activate the GNex myself. Coming from an OG and no SIM card, how do I do this? Call a number for activation?

Welcome!

I meant to ask, but I forgot...I'm going to call back and find out now. I may call Costco too.

Agree. for $50 bucks I will pass on a 250 mah increase.

NO! NO YOU CAN NOT HAZ GNEX!

I will be going to the 34th street verizon store rather than the 5th ave store (NYC) since the former opens at 8:30 while the latter opens at 10:00. The 34th street store is about thirty minutes from me and requires that I take two trains, while the 5th avenue store is a seven minute walk. When I told my friend about my plan, she said, "It's only an hour and a half, what's the big deal?"

Some people just don't understand.

 

[porcelain]

I didn't miss you Porcelain! It's great to have you!

If you're pre-ordering, the phone will come with activation instructions. If you're in the store and want no one else to touch it (like ME), then do your best and have the sales rep standing at their computer, doing their thing, there to help if you get stuck.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll be picking it up in store and I don't want anyone else to touch the phone either. Lol! Hopefully activation isn't too much of a pain.

i hope they allow for pre-order so i can have it on launch day and not have to pay those stupid activation fees

who the hell pays activation fees...i dont think i ever have...

So it looks like with ICS you can no longer press and hold on the homescreen to add widgets, instead they must be added through the widget tab in the app drawer. If you were to use Go Launcher EX, how would you go about adding widgets to the homescreen if there is no widget tab in GLE app drawer?
