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

[Grendil]

Ah, database errors, reminds of me of last week when we actually thought the phone might be released.

Working all morning, can anyone fill me in via pm? Any more leaks or an announcement yet?

OT:

I would say that people that refuse to even try the iPhone are close minded too. Here is how I would relate to two, even though they are apples and oranges. Renting a movie is like trying the iPhone either from a friend or a store. Just because you have rented the movie, or tried your friend's iPhone, doesn't mean you have to go out and buy the whole box set, get the iPhone on a 2 year contract.

If you refuse to even touch your friend's iPhone or look at it in a store, then yea you are probably a little close minded. Also close minded /= a bad thing.

I wanted an iPhone so bad when they first came out. But was stuck on Verizon. Then the Droid Incredible came along, and saved me from certain death.. well from becoming an iSheep anyways.

OT:
Exactly! Being close minded on certain things isn't bad. I hate when that is used as an insult.

I'm not open to the possibility of cheating on my wife. Does that make me closed-minded or old fashioned?

Back online!

 

[Mikey P]

really trying to not get excited this time, but damn you guys are not making it easy

I think I'll start my obligatory "farewell" post now...

OT: (Once Upon a Time):

That was the fall finale?!

Dammit!!!!!!!!

OT
I knoooowwwww! That was the best episode yet IMO, but SPOILER ALERT

Spoiler

I just can't believe/hope they really didn't kill Graham

This show is as bad as lost for getting me worked up.

Ha... Engadget just posted "Exclusive" on the current Costco news.

No where does it say "Exclusive". I'm assuming you saw the word "elusive" which is the 2nd word in the post but they are just posting up the same news everyone else has posted.

 

[TheWenger]

OT: Movies
See, isn't that the same thing as me saying I won't see Star Wars because it is old and outdated and I just prefer not to? Yet I get called out because people in here think Star Wars is something to worship and it is something I have no desire to watch. I consider myself a movie buff whether you Star Wars fans agree with it or not...I am the minority here for sure so most everyone in here is going to disagree with me, it happens. Looks like I hit a soft spot for some of you

You don't like the i*hone after using it, I get it. That doesn't make you close minded. Just like me not wanting to see Star Wars doesn't make me close minded, or NOT a movie buff.

I think the main difference is price. It's like comparing apples to oranges. "I got this phone and didn't like it" can't be compared to "I saw this movie and didn't like it".

Does anyone live in Southern California and can tell me if there is a working display model anywhere I can try out?

That makes sense, and yeah I was just trying to defend my point. Plus I don't like when people give me labels/names, good or bad. It's just a...thing for me. Like someone saying I am not a movie buff just because I haven't seen their favorite movie and someone saying I am close minded. Just struck a nerve is all.

If the GNex isn't released on Thursday, I swear I'll get so pissed off that I will...

...bitch about it on the internet and then resign myself to a longer wait.

I'll be "close-minded" if that means I stay drug free. People who use that argument as a form of peer pressure are pathetic. I've heard it all over the years - I haven't even tried a ciggarette. I'm a dying breed and "closed minded" because of it.

*rolls eyes*

I think you have done enough to jinx this release already

 

[Kid Dynamite]

Hey Everybody!

First post here...I've been following for weeks and figured why not get involved.

So I spent a good portion of last night trying to get info. out of the CSR's on Verizon's site. While I (obviously) wasn't given any concrete info., one CSR did admit that "she believes" there will be a pre order before the release.

When are we expecting/hoping to see pre orders go live? After too many useless encounters with Verizon reps, I've decided to just buy online.

P.S. It's great to finally be part of the forum!

Have you ever had an advil, drank a cup of coffee, taken a cough drop?

Define "Drug-Free"

 

[crackers8199]

has anyone that got their upgrade date moved up also gotten them to move up the NE2? one of the stores i called said he thinks he can work something out (getting me the phone in store thursday rather than me having to call CS to order it thursday and not having it til friday) - but he said he wouldn't be able to move up the NE2, that i'd have to wait til the 29th to get that...

bump, since all the OT stuff has this buried a few pages back already lol...

 

[Bmxant]

OT:

Is there any way I can get Verizon to give me Unlimited Data with a new contract if I tell them that I currently have Unlimited Data with AT&T?

 

[Rrrracer]

Wow you guys freaked me out.. haven't checked in for a bit, and got a database error first thing when I tried...

Of course I'm thinking some ground breaking news has been released (VZW officially announces release date anyone!?!) but alas... t'was just a database error.

Oh well, back to lurking. :/
