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

[Cahill]

Will I be able to order this phone online tomorrow? Unfortunately, I had planned to originally go to the store first thing in the morning since I learned this phone was going to be released back in November but since then, my father had a heart attack and other things have also surfaced that will prevent me from getting to the store tomorrow. I would really like to ensure I get this device, I don't care if I have to wait for it to be shipped. I just don't want to wait for it to come back in stock if it sells out extremely fast.

Posted this before but no one answered. Would appreciate if anyone could help me out here.

Dude, that Leia picture is creepy. What's with changing her eyes?

OT

She has Steve Buscemi (Of Boardwalk Empire fame) eyes!

I explicitly told them to credit zedster and link back to the original post (which Kellex did). He just failed to mention zedster in the actual entry. Last time I tip him anything.

Yeah he has done that before, I wouldn't sweat it. Zedster knows he's the man.

I'm starting to get my hopes up just a bit. Why you do this to me people!?!?!?!? I'm only going to be super sad tomorrow when nothing happens.

Don't do it! I like to keep my expectations low as well, and your posts have kept me grounded. I'm already more excited about tomorrow than I should be!

 

[keatre]

Still no update at ground level here...

Let me know when it drops, would like to see what updates it holds.

So is the general consensus that this is in fact coming out tomorrow? Or does the no official announcement = delayed again?

So BabyBlues:

Are you going to stream your virtual wedding live for us? Are we invited?

I am holding out for the honeymoon....

 

[truelove79]

Haha, its infectious isn't it... Go play with the simulator, will raise your excitement level another notch

A bit, but I've gotten all excited before (last month) and was only left with a bad taste in my mouth. Never again. I'm sticking with tomorrow is not happening. For every "confirmation" peeps have gotten from friends, relatives, and insiders that work at VZW or retailers, there are as many "confirmations" that there is no way it's coming out tomorrow. I just don't see it happening.

Indianapolis checking in. Just stopped by my local BB and the guy was playing dumb at first. Pressed him a little about it and said let me check. He came back and said "Oh I just got an email about the GNEX and if you come back tomorrow we can sell it to you". Baller.

 

[robbielolo]

I will be calling my VZW store at around 6, or just stopping by to see if they have the phone, IWANTITSOBAD>

Hey guys can I do an alternate upgrade at a store like radio Shack? My wife's line has the 50 $ loyalty credit. I want to use that on my line but I thought I read you can only do that at a corporate store.

?

the general consensus is their are too many stories floating around to have a good general consensus, so basically no one knows anything

That you're not invited to.

Still isn't a 100% sure...

Can someone put a PSA out or put something like this in big bold print to let everyone know that Verizon employees are doing their job if they tell you it isn't available? A lot of people here seem surprised that there are stores telling them it's not out and they don't have stock. From what we saw this morning that's what they're supposed to do... It will be out tomorrow, stay optimistic and plan on it like most of us are.

Aren't you all so glad we didn't cave with the RAZR or HTC Device or anything else? I know I was REALLY freaking close a few times, so thanks for talking me off the ledge!!

 

[jasaero]

Anyone else see the date in the sim?

Wow. Like I said, we probably don't want to know when this device COULD have been launched technically.

 

[zx10droid]

?

i answered it for you a few hundred posts back. you can only get the loyalty discount through a corporate store or on vzw online, retailers do not honor them

 

[statepenn03]

The general consensus is that it'll be out tomorrow. The fact we aren't seeing emails or anything saying it's delayed again from the majority of sources is very encouraging since it's already 3 PM Nexus-eve.

Thankfully we're a close-knit civil lot who won't rub their phones into other people's faces the second they get one. Although you might get the occasional ecstatic owner dancing around...

"If you're having phone problems, I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but GNex ain't one."

Most OT ever:

Spoiler

 

[cheesypuff]

So, the big question is...

if the $100 discount can't be applied in store but you know can be applied on a phone order, are you going to nix the B&M store and buy it via phone?

 

[Androidcurious]

Eh, you have to take this with a grain of salt. With a gag order, friendships don't matter. If she's contractually obligated to tell you that, then I highly doubt she'd risk losing her job. Especially when she knows you'd probably understand why she had to tell that in the first place.

I'd love to believe it's tomorrow but there hasn't been a single peep from Verizon. There is no way they're just dropping this phone without so much as an announcement.

Sorry, but I think lots of folks are going to be disappointed tomorrow. And we'll be flooded with "Gee, the rep that told me they would sell me the phone told me no go today. "

I'll tell you in a few days, if I still have no Nexus.

LOL are you even reading the thread?

You mean you won't let yourself see it happening. Understandable, especially if you are the type that is strongly affected by disappointment. I will definitely be SUPER pissed if it gets cancelled last minute, but only for a little while, so I am willing to let myself believe. Even though I haven't heard from my rep yet about it (I think he has the day off, although he told me to call him today).
