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

[Tinks]

Just downloaded Google Music to my Mac pro tower, I must say my android experience has instantly gone up +100 points.

I've had all my stuff uploaded to Music for a while now and TRIED to use it on my OG Droid. Unfortunately the app is really slow, when it works, and its not even worth it. I'm really hoping the Nexus + G. Music will negate my ipod dependence.

I hope the 15th pans out. My dinc has shut itself off 3 times today.

The Free Press article mentioning the legal angle on this Wallet/ISIS argument is the only way it's an acceptable cause of delay. Bugs are not ok, because quick updates are one of the strengths of this phone. LTE network issues are not ok, because they still sell 4G phones in markets where there is no 4G service. Please, no more delays, I'm done waiting; I'd really like it if the phone came out this week.

Spoiler

That's about all I have to say. And I'm out, as much as I enjoy the banter, I can't really deal with the unclear status of this as lounge/not lounge. My idea of moderation is just preventing or removing blatant defamation. I'm an anarchist, at heart, I guess... but, again, it's really the hockey fan in me that's aggravated; I hate coming up to a "PSA" and wondering what I missed. I want to see the fights. It's part of life, as is the reconciliation, afterwards. And I work with kids, but believe in the free-range raising of them and don't think we should be mollycoddling or sheltering them, if they happen to be reading. If I stumble across any info, I might come back and share it, but I'm not gonna try to keep up, anymore.

And since I'm leaving, I get the last word in this Off-topic argument, which means I automatically win.

I have yet to find fries better than Portillo's (Chicago).

The Gyro places out here in the Chicago suburbs make better fries than Portillo's, Chiggy's, for example, but I like the Five Guys Fries better than Portillo's any day, so our tastes are clearly different. I like the taste of potato and you like salt.

I'd take either or both in a heartbeat. Although I'd melt for a rottie or pitbull too.

Pit Bulls are the best!

 

[Jonathan SCE]

i am reasonably sure their "strategy" involves something like this:

Ah ha, that's why it hasn't been released yet, it landed on the 32.

 

[sperho]

Hey guys,

Has anyone ever activated a LTE phone before? Can I do it at home or do I have to have them put a SIM card in it?

If you have service already, you can activate it yourself.

Haha nice username, Dbol anyone?? haha jk.. Glad to have one more of our kind in here, everyones coming out of the closet!!

You get the juicehead name there...lol no really crap ton of protein, pizza, beer and heavy lifting I blow up. Oh and snacking and reading in hear all the time! I'm going to drop weight from not eating when I get the nexus!

 

[summamd]

Me too


I've never said this to a man before, but "I think I love you"


(just guessing you're a guy) if not - I love you even more

EDIT: I should have quoted TWISM's post. EllieN - I'm pretty sure you are a lady

Used to lift pretty heavy then blew out a disk in my back and ended up having surgery. I just saw my neurosurgeon a week or two ago and asked him about going back to lifting. His response was "You had surgery because you injured yourself lifting heavy things. Probably not a good idea to lift heavy things." So guess It's swimming and running for me now.

All this burger talk and no Hardee's/Carl's Jr. Thickburgers??? Best in the fast food biz!

My wife told me that I'm getting obsessive over this phone. I told her that I don't know what she's talking about. She then showed me a photo she took of me Friday afternoon after the bad news... as if THAT proves anything.

OT: Burgers

I haven't been able to try every burger in the country, but as to date 5 Guys has the best burger I have ever had.

I'd take the nexus, I have a tablet already.
I wish the girls in high school thought 5.3" was to big i would of had more fun

I had In n Out for the first time last week in Vegas and I'll take Five Guys over In n Out any day. In n Out was just too hyped IMO and their burgers are tiny. Fries also weren't that good.

I know we're all holding out for the Verizon version in here, but for those who would like an unlocked GSM version without having to import, Newegg now has it (16 GB, mind you):
Newegg.com - Samsung Galaxy Nexus Titanium Silver 3G Unlocked Cell Phone / Android 4.0 / 5 MP Camera / 16GB Internal Memory (GT-i9250)

 

[VORTEX2K]

Stopped by a Best Buy Mobile tonight, and the guy there was awesome. He said "Verizon doesn't want us telling people this...we've got the phones in the back, but we're not allowed to take them out of there until Thursday." He's also been chomping at the bit for a Nexus and is amazed at how badly Verizon has done with this launch.

Strangely enough my offer to buy the phone tonight and then live in "the back" until Thursday didn't go anywhere.

Srange....I thought that would have worked.

I really wish guys would stop wearing skinny jeans!

 

[sgrinavi]

By the time you guys get it..it won't be fricking amazing anymore..can we say quad core....right around the corner

Not so sure I even need a dual core phone to be honest. IMO they should spend the R&D bucks on improving battery life and doing a tad better with the display.

 

[scottg96]

Oh, and apparently a redditor posted this exclusive almost-sale... Jeez, the more I hear about these kinds of things, the more I realize how much Verizon has screwed over their customers with this phone. It's not even a matter of them strategically planning this out, it's just them being a**holes with this release.

I came soooo close to getting a US Nexus this morning (pics and vid, r/android exclusive) : Android

Yeah, I think the whole Sunday Best Buy thing has been squashed now. Just talked to the store who originally told me tomorrow was a go and now its, " its been pushed by Verizon and we have no new launch date now"...
