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

[BabyBlues]

I cannot wait for this. Seriously. This should be just as great as the last two.

So I should watch them??
Lol.

With Nolan and Bale saying this is the end for them, I don't think there will be another - at least not for a while. I fully expect DC to try and focus on some other characters now. We've already got a Superman reboot being worked on (by Zach Snyder - YAY!!!), and a green light on another Green Lantern. Batman could use the break.

UGH I hope if there is another Green Lantern they go for someone less notable (and less of a "funny guy"). A lot less CGI wouldn't hurt either.

I actually liked Batman Forever, it had just the right amount of comic book in it. However, I really was not a fan of Batman & Robin, Clooney was a terrible Dark Knight.

Best part of Batman Forever - Jim Carrey as the Riddler.

You're spoiled

It's possible that SSD's have hardware controllers that give you that extra speed boost.

They're definitely designed differently than a typical sd card or internal flash storage in phones. It's not really a valid comparison between a desktop/laptop SSD and internal NAND-flash based storage.

What happens when this phone isn't released on Thursday?

Spoiler

I would just like to caveat that with everyone has their experiences and in some cases pain is not an option. I had a pinched sciatic nerve from an old muscle injury that pretty much made it impossible to sleep, sit, stand, run, or walk.. I have been busted up a few times in life but not every pain is one you can tough it through.

Spoiler

I understand that completely! But so long as I have choice, I will tough it out and deal with it. By no means am I saying "deal with unbearable pain because the drugs are bad for you" I'm saying that bit about not running to the drug cabinent for EVERY little thing. "I have a headache! Better grab the tylenol!" -- That exact mentality is part of the problem with Western society.

To avoid getting into a huge discussion about these things, and potentially ruffling some feathers, let's drop it here, yeah?

I understand the data promo is set to expire on 15th. If Nexus not out, could I get some other phone (like the Rezound) and return it by Jan 15 and get the Nexus whenever it comes out (hipefully by Jan 15!) AND KEEP the double data promo??

 

[Rybnik]

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

Dammit, stop jinxing the thread!!

what if kate beckinsale walked into your house naked........just saying

I know these hypotheticals are just fun and games, but I agree with Han.

Spoiler

Or making sure the gf/wife wants a menage a trois first

Welcome! If it releases on Thursday as all the latest rumors suggest, I don't think there will be a preorder, unless they start selling online tomorrow with overnight shipping available for delivery on Thursday (or after).

The only useful thing I got from my corporate store is that there would be NO pre-order for the G-nex.

Already finished mine:

Don't post your real one yet, please

Good morning everyone!

So I wake up to what looks like no change. Are we all still hopeful for the 15th (dumb question haha) or have we moved on to the 20th?

I'm pretty stoked and encouraged by my 9:00AM Thursday appointment confirmation this afternoon. If you haven't all ready, and your the corporate stores are doing the same thing mine has, I would try calling third party retailers, as it seems they are getting official word from Verizon today.

I just got to play with the nexus at my local corporate store!! One word, phenomenal!! The manager took my name, number, and email on an orange notification card and said that he has many people interested and has two dozen nexii stocked and ready to sell.

That is a REALLY REALLY good sign!!

OT: (Dark Knight Rises)

Spoiler

Check out the cool new poster. Are they going to kill him off??

Awesome, so looking forwards to this, gonna be epic. (I doubt your speculation....too good of sales from the first two , and come on: Its Batman. He ain't going anywhere!!)

BREAKING NEWS:
Take this FWIW (doesn't seem like much NaCl to me, but):
https://plus.google.com/104219703867174271898/posts/BqSxWL7HKsn
Manager of a store says he got an email go-ahead to sell this Thursday. He seems pretty jet-set about it too.

Yep and my guy said the same. Do you have an appointment yet?

OT
Loved arrested development! I found 24 too intense LOL I can't imagine you finding Once upon a time more aggressive than 24. I hate liking a show too much, they usually get cancelled like Arrested Development, Dead like me and Pushing Daisies..

Haha I actually have no idea why I liked 24 as well, it was very intense. Now that I look back on it, it was really funny. All in all, I'm a huge show fanatic lol. I really suggest watching Breaking Bad, probably my all time favorite show.

I read that they are going to reboot the Batman franchise almost immediately with a new director and a new actor to play Batman with Nolan staying on as a consultant/exec. producer.

WB has already said they'll be rebooting Batman. Again.

Totally agreed. I just finished editing my last post to mention him.

To steal someone else's post: I will complain and b**ch and moan about it...then wait some more

Sooooooo much OT stuff, I wonder if many people even saw my Breaking News lol.

Just saw this on CNN during lunch. Any of our NJ nexicans get this SMS?

Negative. It was brought up here at some point though, so someone got it.

I did - how do you even find these people on G+?

I watched them film it in NYC a few weeks ago. I have a great pic of the Batcopter but I cant get it to post.

I was an extra during the filming in Heinz Field in the summer.

It was insanely hot that day and we all had to wear winter clothes due to the scene. Three tumblers came on the field. Huge explosions. Bane.


Awesome day. And now I can see myself in the movie!

 

[HanSolo]

OT they arent going to kill him but its def the end of the trilogy. Nolan, Oldman, and Bale all have confirmed that this is their last film together.

Han if you want to know more about it i can point you in the right direction.

No, but thanks anyway! I hate being spoiled!!

UGH I hope if there is another Green Lantern they go for someone less notable (and less of a "funny guy"). A lot less CGI wouldn't hurt either.

I actually liked Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. But I like him in most movies anyway. The guy can definitely play straight parts (check out "Buried" - AWESOME movie!).

I agree on the CGI though. Obviously there's gonna be a lot with the type of character, but they didn't have to do it to the costume too. That's what killed it for me.

What I'd REALLY like to see is Reynolds playing Deadpool. I've read some of an early script the guys from Zombieland wrote for it, and it was incredible!

 

[thegravytrain]

Just got a call from the VZW store I stopped in last week (where I left my name and number). They were calling to let me know Thursday is the day, and that they are reserving 1 for me. woot!

 

[BabyBlues]

Sooooooo much OT stuff, I wonder if many people even saw my Breaking News lol.

I did!

 

[m1scr3ant]

So that somehow makes you better...i for one enjoy the occasional purple haze or death star...not talking movies...i have a beautiful wife and kids and make 200k a year (which isnt much compared to some of you guys)....i know plenty of people that are "drug free" that are way more screwed up with other mental issues....To each their own..does not make anyone better or worse for it

Spoiler

I'm sorry, I can't find the part where I said it makes me better than anyone? I merely said it is my choice. Just drop it, we don't need any arguing!
