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

[jkc120]

No, I'm not serious. Hence the dog eating the cat?

lol

Phew.

For some reason, I only saw the two sorry images.

 

[Sushibagel]

Guys, the first bullet on the page now says "Buy Now" too...

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?

prolly nothing lulz

Galaxy Nexus

I think Google is now joining in with Verizon in taunting us!

 

[jasaero]

Yes we know, but the second and third bullet points changed to "Buy Now" from "Register" last night and the front page just changed within the last few hours.

Yeah and last night I think only one or two of the index screens said buy now, but now they all do. Still register only in the buy now pop down though.

 

[Kengh]

Did anyone here do the unlimited data mobile hotspot thing with Verizon?

I did.

 

[jkc120]

Well, white elephant party time for me. Later folks. Someone PM me if anything juicy comes out.

My dad still has his first car sitting in the garage in near mint condition. It's a 1972 240Z with <80k miles. It's beautiful and runs great. Needs new suspension but that's it.

240z is where its at. True and pure sports car. No bells and whistles.

 

[WinnerCMZStyle]

I did.

You think it will stick? I'm thinking of trading Rezound for Nexus and then transferring my line to a family line lol.

 

[SamMax]

You pick up a Nexus tomorrow and post pictures with your screen name on a piece of paper, I'll "eat my current iphone 4s".

[Ken7]

Okay guys, I walked down to the Verizon store across the street and broke down.

I am now the owner of a brand new iPhone 4S.

Sorry, guys. I just couldn't wait anymore.

Wow, until that last pix, you had me worried!

So you have more than one. Do what kellex did and make a mock up to tide you over till release.

2 in a pack. And i don't think there is anything that can hold me over. This whole thing is killing me. I can't even think of Christmas shopping until i have SGN. Ican't take it anymore and i don't blame Han for what he did one bit....

Let me tell you though, parallel parking is a huge bitch with no power steering. Still one of the most fun cars to drive around. EVERYONE looks at it. It's so funny.

Last time I was in VA was with the Army at Ft. Lee. I would love to help with the Z, they are very fun cars.

Hey Ft. Lee is practically around the corner from me!

Well, white elephant party time for me. Later folks. Someone PM me if anything juicy comes out.

Have fun!

I'm sadly very behind on shopping as well

iSee what you did there

 

[DrexelDragon]

When you click the "buy now" it goes to registration page.

you're not getting the point

Geez, there seems to be nothing but off topic video game, computer, and car talk in here... weeding through it to find ANYTHING ON TOPIC is becoming quite a pain.

Is anyone talking on this Nexus topic about the Nexus and what's going on today, or is it time to find some other source for my Nexus info and news?

As one of the offenders, sorry guilty as charged.. however, please take the time to read the first post in the thread. This is a bit of a lounge-type thread where off topic stuff is allowed. Like you, some have had issues with it at times.. however it can be used as a bit of a measuring stick. If you're seeing a slew of off topic posts, there is likely no new info. Trust me, we'd all be atwitter about it if there was. Also, the most recent info tends to be in the first post. Steven and the other mods keep it pretty much up to date with rumors, leaks and pics.

And honestly, IMO, the off topicness here and there is part of the thread's charm and has contributed greatly to the sense of community here. I've commended them privately before, but Steven, Early and OTD have done an amazing job of keeping us relatively on track and civil (though some of that has to do with the wonderful folks posting here as well) without throwing the mod powers around willy-nilly like I've seen on some boards. They deserve a lot for helping to forge this community into what it is today. This isn't really a thread, it's a conversation among friends and that's quite frankly just awesome. I'd not go anywhere else for news without bringing it back here to my Gnex family because this place is like home, and the only thing I thank Verizon for with the delays is letting me spend just a bit longer with the great folks here.


...but since you're new here I'll refrain from the off topic stuff for a bit to raise the signal-to-noise ratio on GNex news since I've got nothing today.

 

[AntimonyER]

I wish the anonymous person wasn't anonymous. We could be pestering him/her about every single thing, instead of killing time off-topic...

edit: hey mods, what about letting the person set up a second account, just for a week, with no identifying features, to tell us about the phone?

 

[rove75]

Well I was so close to getting my Nexus today. Called a Radio Shack and the guy told me he just got a shipment in with only 1 Nexus phone. I told him I'll be there in 30 minutes.

We got to the point that the phone was activated. When he tried to run it through the system it wouldn't let him go any further. He called a few people and realized he wasn't allowed to sell it.

He then proceeded to call Verizon to reverse the activation. I was sooo close.

It definitely doesn't feel cheap and has a real solid feel. Thinner then I though it would be.

6 more days!!!

 

[nyg010]

So anyway, back to off-topicness:

In the mood for some chinese tonight..

..... and the tread has officially come to a screeching halt!

 

[Airmaxx23]

you're not getting the point

I get the point but the person I answer asked what happens when you click on it so I just told him what happens.

 

[cggorman]

has anyone gotten it due to an employee mistake??

Based on the recent phandroid article describing a 1.5 to 2 hour purchase process ending in a manual override credit card charge, I'd guess that would classify as a mistake...

 

[Aabye]

So, I couldn't wait.

Being the conservative type (personally, not politically, though there is nothing wrong with that), I was waiting until my GN was on order until I did this, but since that's not happening, I decided not to wait any longer...

My good old Eris has been rooted!

Maybe the one who snagged it is posting as normal right now, pretending as if he didn't get one, so no one would get in trouble.
