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

lol didnt mean to hurt your feelings.

Oh, you didn't hurt my feelings. There is just no need for it. Beyond that it has already been mentioned in this thread that threats like these are unacceptable, which they are.

I'm actually thinking of foregoing the SGN for a while and nabbing the Prime.

Eee Pad | Transformer Prime

It's so pretty.

I like this also, but think I am actually more tempted by a possible hacked GTab 7.7 with LTE and voice calling. I would probably need to buy that full retail anyhow though so will get a Nexus in the interim anyhow.

I have the original Tformer though so it would be a bit silly to buy this.

Well here's another obligatory VZW store post...

stopped in to the local corporate store tonight on my way home from work. Asked if they had any information on the Galaxy Nexus. Immediately the rep's posture and attitude changed. It seemed to me as if he felt he was walking on egg shells and had to be really careful about what he said. I did get him to admit that they do have stock in the back but he heard the release date had been delayed. I said I heard it was supposed to launch tomorrow, he seemed clueless. Asked if there were any live or demo units floating around the workers there, he said no. I thanked him and left. I'm going to be buying at Best Buy anyways, and they have my number to contact me when they're cleared to sell them.

It was good to hear that they do indeed have them in stock, though. When I heard rumors of the phone being shipped back I got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Crossing my fingers for a phone call tomorrow...

OT Beer Talk:

Had the 120 minute in September on tap at DFH in Delaware. Best beer, hands down, I've ever had. If you can get it on tap DO NOT miss out on it. Not hiding this OT because of how delicious it was and everyone needs to see this.

OT Internet issues...

Spoiler

I know this is all going to sound extremely weird, but this is truly what is happening to me. First off, I am an information systems major, so I like to think I know something about networking/computers in general. Have built a few, done some programming ect. Anyways, so I am living with my sister while in school, and I had to get a wireless USB stick for my desktop. When I bought it a few months ago, all seemed well. Shortly after, I kept trying to load web pages and it would just load...and load...and load. I use Google Chrome and couldn't think off the top of my head what it would be, so I did my own troubleshooting. Started with using IE and Mozilla, clearing cache, history, and cookies, none of which worked. Same thing was happening. So I moved on to trying other internet based applications. I tried Skype and AIM. Both working fine while trying to load web pages. Waitwut....That makes no sense, I know. Internet on everything else, but not while trying to browse the web?? Next step I took was trying to use my sister's wireless laptop. Works perfectly fine for hours without dropping internet at all. Hmmmm...I would say it is an issue with my wireless USB drive I bought, but I keep internet on other applications. Also, I can game on my computer and on Xbox Live (Xbox is also wireless) for hours and not drop internet once. It is only when I browse the web, and it's only on my computer. I know all this may be hard to believe, but this is exactly what is happening. I have many friends in the IT field at businesses, all of them as baffled as me. I actually TeamViewed with a buddy while the web pages were stuck in loading, and he had no clue what was going on.

Any help would be appreciated. Do you know how annoying it is to try and refresh this page in moments when leaks are flying everywhere, and the page just sits there and loads!?

VZW releases the Gnex first because the colts don't win a game this year.

Dogfish is my favorite brewery. If I could, I'd take some vacation days just to go all the way up there to the brewpub.

 

[dmodert66]

lmao are you serious? He was obviously joking..and besides I do cyber security for a living- besides the fact that were just messing around, you really think VZ is looking and scanning through our AF posts right now? We probably don't even have what it takes to crash a single server deck of verizon's lol

There was nothing in his post to imply a joke. That said, I refuse to argue. I guess it was funny to some here...

 

[BabyBlues]

Hello all, I've been a "member" since 2010 but this is my first post . You guys have been entertaining and making the wait for the GN a little bearable. I got to play with the Verizon GN at to different Verizon stores in PA and I must say it is the best Phone I have ever held in my hands up to date. I appreciate quality and this Phone doesn't have any of that cheap Samsung feel. Its very premium feeling. I go back and forth from android and ios and right now I have people bidding on my 32gb iPhone 4s just because I am sold on this phone. I took pics and will post momentarily! I share your pain/passion as we await this beautiful peace of android ice cream sandwich lol.

Tebow wins superbowl first.

I think my coin is on the Gnex vs that

 

[red46123]

Besides the numerous confirmations by store reps (and yet no picture evidence of a delay in corporate stores???), is there any reason we should not believe this phone can still sell tomorrow, as a surprise? What I mean is, what if Verizon issues a notice that suddenly stores with stock are able to sell tomorrow...?

I stopped in my local corporate store today(indianapolis) and the asst. manager said without hesitation not a chance for tomorrow. Then goes on to explain the 4g outage as the problem for the delay. I just shook my head and played dumb.

Whaa? Can you explain a little? This is very intriguing, I must say.

I love their native e-book reader.

Don't even... haha

I really think activations work on a blacklist not a whitelist system (yes, oversimplification but you get the idea) and if anyone actually gets a phone tomorrow, they will be able to activate it.

You are absolutely correct. I already told everyone that I HAD a Nexus activated today. My name was in the thing as the owner! So I hope people stop doubting the ability to swindle some salesman for a Nexus tomorrow.

It's going to happen. The question is, who's it going to be!

 

[91zcpe]

!!!
Hope you're not trolling. This means others should be able to theoretically pick up the device tomorrow as well!

Not trolling; just got to find someone willing to try. He's going to try and if it works, it works. If it doesnt, it doesnt.

I'll try to get screen shots of the texts if I can.

Do you think he can sell via debit card and ship!?
If so, I'm SO down for this!!

I'll ask him if he's willing.

I hope you and others are able to get one so it forces verizon to open the sales to everyone. Good luck.

Yeah, it'd be nice. If not, then I'll be waiting like everyone else.

Have a chocolate chip cookie on me.

Thanks bro. I sure hope it's good.



If it happens, great. If not, nothing I can do..

What do you think of the new Big East? If we hadn't gotten Boise, I think I was going to be completely disgruntled. I have season tix to USF and it's going to be tough with the new teams, I'll miss WVU. Why couldn't anyone steal Rutgers? (sorry Jersey folks).

Anyway, biggest issue for me is UCF. I liked their inferiority complex, now they are going to be more annoying than ever. Oh well, that will be a fun game for us. I just hope we can go another few years before they beat us...it's nice to have the 4-0 advantage right now. I am not sure about Holtz though. I think you guys have a winner with Jones, hope he doesn't jump ship.

Yep. I just wish she didn't look like a horse. She has pretty eyes, though.
