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

[SolidOrange]

Sorta off topic.
Does anybody do insurance? If so, vzw or someone else? One option I was thinking on was using my AMEX card, as they will double the manufacturer warranty. I wouldn't be droidless now if I would have done that when I purchased the droid. I've been thinking on extended warrenty options too.

TIA!

Don't give VZ any more money than you have to. I have always used squaretrade for insurance on my electronics and they are top notch. Cheaper than going through VZ/Asurion as well.

Well my 0-10 score of 3-4 for it coming out Thursday is now a 0. Here we go again...

 

[vespadaddy]

Just got a photo and email from the manager at the store Im getting my GN from. They just got their shipments in and again are 110% confirmed on tommorow.

This pic is obvious, official confirmation that:

The Galaxy Nexus is just 16 GB!

Kidding!

 

[juicehead9]

not sure why anyone would take this as bad news. vz has a history of announcing day of so this statement is nothing but consistent with that practice.

everyone needs to chill, winston. (name that movie)

Lock stock and to smoking barrels. Awesome movie

I just got a call from a store saying they will be selling it tomorrow morning & there is one saved for me. Bad thing is I have visited about 6 stores in the past few weeks, so I am not sure which one it is...This is in the DFW area so its somewhere in irving, arlington, lewisville, or grapevine!

 

[altimax98]

I stopped by the south store on my way home from my wife's ultrasound and got great news.. (ill upload pics later but its all good for the little half squat)

I walked in to the store and a sales person named Robert and the manager and a head sales person were at the front. Ive heard the nexus is coming tomorrow.. is that true. The guys looked around and shook thier head (yes). I asked do you have stock. The manager said yes. Then I said ill be here at 845 maybe with a few others..
Sooooo they put my name on one.

YYEEEEAAAAAHHHH

btw this is the Lakeland South Store in lakeland Florida. Ask For Robert

 

[HanSolo]

Man, I hope that some of us who are claiming their corp stores told them tomorrow aren't BSing the rest of us.

 

[m1scr3ant]

Hahaha.

Seriously, it might be the same store I've been talking to!

You mean the one that outright lied to me about it? A-holes.

 

[albertsm]

Just got a message stating "it's coming tomorrow" from a friend of mine who is a manager at a VZW corporate store in mid-Michigan. They have had the phone in stock since mid last week.

 

[mrtudball]

I remember being able to lurk in this thread and after skipping a couple of days, being able to catch up in a half hour or less. Now, you skip a half day, and there is no way to read all the posts. Not easy being a lurker I tell ya.

 

[djscoe]

Ooh ooh Boston people! I knew you were out there. I'm in Brockton, we have a corp store and a few resellers nearby. I'm kind of afraid to call. :lol: I'll probably just wait til tomorrow morning and see what they say.

Marshfield here. Although right now I'm in Annapolis, MD until tomorrow night. I checked with the local Corporate Store last night and they said if a phone is released while I'm here, I can get it there and don't have to wait until I get home.

 

[blastbeats]

FWIW: Just called two stores (one corporate and one reseller). Neither have heard anything about a launch tomorrow. Both stores denied even having any in stock. The stores I called are about an hour north of Philly.

With as much misinformation that is going around (and has been), I can't believe the phone is released until I have it in my hands. I'm still appreciative of all the work people are going through to get inside info but confusion appears to be everywhere from the top to bottom of VZW.

For those of you who live in NJ, do you have 4G service? The list in the link doesn't mention NJ at all.

[Sushibagel]

I'm coming out of that Verizon store with a phone tomorrow morning either way. If it doesn't come out tomorrow I'm "renting" a Rezound and will ream the poor VZW employee till they waive the restocking fee for me when I do finally get my GNEX.

 

[Mach Droid]

Even if tomorrow is the day... work starts at 7am. No vacation time left (all of my FIVE days for the year are accounted for!). Lunch break isn't until 1130 so guess I'll be waiting until then.

Only 1 week vacation...that stinks.

 

[Laxstar785]

I really find it humorous that everyone is still geared up for tomorrow even after Verizon made their announcement for today. Did you guys know that the word gullible isn't in the dictionary? Haha

if you walked into a verizon store and they said we are selling them tomorrow come back tomorrow....would you walk out and say no way in hell im getting one?


OK MAYBE you would but still thats better then what we have all heard previously.

 

[woodraskam]

Verizon is trying out their new "Silent Fart" release strategy.

He who smellt it, dealt it.

 

[SuperTongue]

I'll report in with a call as well:

Got a nice guy on the line at my local corporate store and he's be told tomorrow as the date and just to call in the morning to make sure. Even stated that last Friday was suppose to be it, but it was pushed back.

FWIW, no one at the store would budge last week. Didn't bother asking to make an appointment as I'll just stop by when they open.

 

[AntimonyER]

Grr, I think my rep is out today, his work cell goes straight to voicemail.

another verison PR today. Verizon Releases Official Statement Regarding Galaxy Nexus, But It Doesn’t Get Us Off of Square One

some1 prob beat me to it

 

[artnsx]

I'm covered by the Philly towers, but I don't think there are any 4G specific towers in NJ. Maybe there are down the shore? I really don't know, but a lot of us are covered thanks to being between NYC/Philly.

I live in linden (which isn't too far from NYC) and we get 4G

 

[Hustletron]

This is so laughable.

It's 12:30 EST and we haven't gotten one update that is going to release from big red themselves. When this blows up in people's faces tomorrow, this thread is going to hit 100k easily. Instead of the Star Wars theme - it's going straight to "Flame Wars".

Anyone else numb to the pain when this doesn't release tomorrow? I love how people are so certain this is going down, but what evidence really tells you that? We've seen documents before. We've heard from CSRs before. What we haven't heard from is big red themselves.

Trouble lurks ahead. Be careful.........

I agree and while I'm not trying to point fingers I think whichever mod or mods keep editing the thread title the way they are are not helping things. Nothing is confirmed still. As much as id like to be wrong and as much as I need a new phone, its a fact.

[bi0nicman]

I'm almost ready to put money that it ain't happening tomorrow or it is going to be a really quiet launch...

 

[COHusker]

Whether or not the Nexus officially launches tomorrow, I have a feeling some of us will become owners of a new Galaxy Nexus. Others will be left empty-handed.

The ratio between proud owners and empty-handeders remains to be seen.
