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

[sgrinavi]

Dude I called and said exactly what you suggested. The lady noted it on my account and said I would get the promotion applied when I went to the store!!!

Thank you so much. That made my day I love AF!

You go boy

 

[wedgemoose]

Oh I agree 100%, and like I said I'm not holding my breath. But, I will say that the fact that he called me and seemed positive that Thursday is the day, and actually made an appointment seemed like some good news. Just passing it on....I m remaining optimistic that this is happening at 9am on Thursday....

I'm with ya...... I hope you get it (because that means i will to...HaHa)

And they way you wrote has me believing some how your guy is legit....I can just tell !!!!!!


I just wish we could get one little confirming something from somone...

I just came from a VZW corporate store close to my work. I went there twice last week as well. Last week they were disavowing all knowledge, like I was asking about nuclear launch codes or something. Today, totally different reception.

First, the nice manager lady recognized me as the stalker from last week. This time she smiled at me when I asked about "any intel on the Nexus" and she offered (I didn't have to ask) if I wanted to see one. Imagine my answer.

So, she disappears in the back for a few minutes and comes out with the elusive white box. She pulls off the sleeve and when trying to open the two halves of the box, it pops open suddenly and next thing you know, we're both staring at a virgin Nexus on the floor between our feet. Good thing it was carpet.

I held out my hand, not certain of what to expect. All I can say is... WOW!!! (Worth Our Wait!!!) OK, so the battery was not in it, but even so, it was truly sweet. Next, I asked the most loaded question of all (she's heard it from me plenty before); when can I buy it? I offered that I had heard Thursday was the day. She asked what was the date Thursday? I said "the 15th". She said "then I guess I'll see you on Thursday". I take that as confirmation or as close as I'll get out of these guys.

So, I reserved a place in line right when they open on Thursday. Leaving nothing to chance, I also have several dates reserved into 2012, which is a year in which either the world will end, or Verizon might actually release this phone. I suppose one is about as likely as the other.

Can anyone link me to the $100 off flyer?

I'm on the phone right now trying to get it, but they want to know what it says

Verizon Promotional Mailer: Receive $100 Off Any 4G Smartphone, No Limitations Found – Droid Life

Now that Cheetara confirmed it, I'm fully a believer. COME Thursday hurry up!!

So EVERYBODY is saying the 15th now, am I correct? Do we have a single source saying otherwise?

Do I take all of their words for it along with Hanette/Miss Piggy/Cheetara's word for it and take Thursday morning off (presentation to give in afternoon so have to work)... Hmm?

 

[49er]

I think this is happening for sure now. I've just got two more calls from Verizon stores now.....all trying to setup appts for the 15th. So, why no announcement from Verizon though? This whole launch is a huge joke really.....

 

[jokeefe10]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up.

Question, shouldn't she be called Princess Leia since she is HanSolo's sister?

no, princess leia married han solo....that would be incest!!

 

[zerocool79346]

So the camera and video aren't great and now the speakerphone might not be that great?

I went from having to get the Nexus to I might have to make a choice between it and the Rezound. I use the speaker all the time and I don't want another phone with a crappy camera. Sigh....

Trust me, the camera is fine. It may not be as amazing as the SGSII or the I4S (possibly even the Rezound, but I wasn't that impressed with the Rezound's) but it is FAR better than any phone released this year besides those two (possibly 3). It blows away all of the Motorolas and definitely any last gen HTC I've used.

Rep said the speakerphone wasn't terrible, but the RAZR was definitely louder. FWIW, the RAZR is incredibly loud IMO.

Hmmm... Thursday is the company xmas party at Ruth Chris... Guess I can't call in sick then show up for the party ?

 

[BreckDroid]

Cheetara just texted:

I'm going right now to my boss to tell him I'm taking the day.

Luckily things are slow at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Im already off that day.

OT: Come ski Jackson Hole! Shameless plug, as if we need one

Oh and Im not going to hold my breath, but Ive got a good feeling about this.

 

[Mooem]

Well IF it finally comes out Thursday, I'm still planning on ordering online if it's available at midnight. Hopefully I can do overnight shipping and receiving Friday morning (when I'm off work ).

 

[BabyBlues]

Charging question :

Why does my phone act wonky when it is on the charger? The Phandroid app zooms in at a single touch anywhere on the screen. SwiftKey doesn't want to type at all. And notifications don't show up?? It's a Verizon charger.

 

[drbugsmn]

my wife was just at a vzw store. Dood said it will be out on the 15th, delayed since the processor is burning out the battery. Glad I wasn't taking a drink when she told me that.

 

[Laxstar785]

Some of these pictures are awesome....and some of the funniest I have seen in awhile....but I am brining this one back someone else made it so i can't take credit for it but everytime i open it on my desk top on laugh outloud i just can't help it.....

 

[jokeefe10]

Cheetara just texted:

man i really hope she's right....i'm afraid to believe!

 

[lightsout]

Might not be the wisest idea to post this, given the growing pessimism in this thread, but people deserve to know what's coming out soon:

Samsung Galaxy S III teaser | Android and Me

Man the rumored specs for that phone look so nice. Sadly it probably won't come to verizon and I'm stuck with them for a while.

I'm up and running on my new lappy.. 1920 x 1080p goodness. How do I look on my new toy? (Steven pulls in his stomach).

It would be nice if Steven's source was able to confirm the 15th, too.

OMG, I'd take dinner there and hope someone had a phone Friday.

PS Done with the gifs for now.

 

[yorcadon]

Does Cheetara expect Verizon to announce it finally?

I would like to know this as well. I have to call a guy to get my upgrade early, but he said he can't do it until it's officially announced.
