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

[RookTheKlown]

Verizon just got back to me about the $100 off 4G promotion; the guy was nice enough, it was amusing that he said "I saw people talking about this on phandroid so it looks like this is becoming a bit of an internet rumor, we don't have any national promotions currently on 4g phones". I couldn't talk him up to anything else, he just mentioned the 50 dollar loyalty discount we have through the discontinuation of new every two. Unfortunate news, but I'll state again that he was nice enough about what he had to say, and it is good that verizon gets back to all of these requests within a day.

Funny, they called me and said the same thing (that it was becoming an internet rumor from phandroid). Nice to see that they're aware of us!

Not a chance

...I stopped by the Radio Shack on my way home from work....I then asked if they had any in stock and she said they only had 1.

Went into a local radio shack and asked about the nexus. They said we only have one .....

Does anyone else get the feeling that Radio Shack is full of BS?

Only 1 to each store? Or does Verizon hate them that much?

This thread is mental...I left my comp for a few minutes and there is like 30 new posts!

Waiting somewhat patiently for this $@#! phone

I think pretty much everyone is saying the 15th. But if you haven't followed this saga for long, please don't get your hopes up, stores were making appointments to sell the phone to customers last week only to have and call and cancel last minute.

But I think this week is definitely different than last week. See my reasons here (only linking because of the speed of this thread!)

No new news.

I stopped to see my trusted source that was blind sided same as us last week. He checked for new emails and the only reference to the GNex was from the folks that manage and send out promotional materials for the store.

The email said that the Gnex had been delayed and to now put up the associated marketing materials the 15th.

He said that he did not get that email last week, so this is new from his prospective. He said that changes can happen and have in the past with marketing instructions, but when he gets this type email he considers it pretty firm. And it usually doesnt change.

So, still nothing irrevocably firm, but another "maybe" for the 15th.

Considering this very well could be the last contribution from the Source, just want to emphasize how much we appreciate what you have done for us.

Somewhat optimistic, but there is still time for Verizon to change its mind and tell these sources something different, so I wouldn't pop the champagne corks yet.

And still no sign of any Verizon advertising, it's a travesty if they release an android flagship phone with no fanfare, and I doubt google is going to want to launch 5.0 or whatever on their network the next time. It's far enough away from the razr launch now that they could focus their marketing efforts on the nexus.

Alright! Thursday is my one off-day of Finals week! Means I can pick it up, play with it for a while and study a little for an EE final later that night!

Now let's hope Verizon actually announces something about this, so they can't just change up the date again!

 

[scottg96]

If stores open early on Thursday, I am so going in before school starts @ 8 AM Or if there's a midnight launch I'm going to that.

I know I said this last week before the 9th, but...
WE'RE FINALLY IN THE HOME STRETCH! For real now

 

[iowabowtech]

Just got back from an out of the way Radio Shack. "Why yes iowabowtech, we have one in the back, let me get it for you". Then the same bells and whistles went off as many others have experienced. He said, it's showing 12/15 now, sorry. Not huge news anymore but yet another verification of the Thursday release. Come on Verizon, don't jack this up.

Shout out to Mr. Han Solo for providing the promotional code, I called again after reading his post and gave the CSR the code right away, she asked me to verify what the code was for and what the promotion was.

She said it was a point of sale promotion and nothing to apply to my account, I Asked her to make a note on my account that I should be getting $100 off a 4g smartphone when I go to pick one up. Told me to call again when I get to the store if they don't honor it.

Since the post is probably buried somewhere I'll thank your next post Han!

Can someone link me or send me that promo code? I've been setting up this lappy all day and just finished. TIA.

Dude, Han. I swear my store only has 1! He showed me the stock list lol

Dammit Scott!

That just jinxed it.

My Incredible has been acting very, very buggy lately (Force Closes everything all the time, internet not working, etc). I NEED this phone to be released Thursday!

 

[beaumac]

what is the best deal on the phone? amazon?

Well at least if Verizon does for some extremely peculiar reason change its mind last minute and warn stores not to sell on the 15th, we'll be seeing a whole lot more "accidental" sales across the country due to miscommunication. But Verizon wouldn't do that because that would completely ruin the launch. Entirely.

 

[Sushibagel]

Is it Thursday yet!?!?!?!?!?
