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

[woodraskam]

Hi all, been lurking for a few days now. gotten pretty much the same responses from my local vzw stores so not much to contribute... I did ask several this afternoon about the white razr and none of them knew it was coming out tomorrow, even though it was announced by Verizon in a press release this morning...
so we know how well information is disseminated in this corporation, what a debacle this whole thing has been

(not to mention the vzw rep, who after I asked about the nexus, put me on hold and said "I need to find out what I can tell you", he came back and said "we have no stock and know nothing about a release date", i chuckled and said I know you're lying and he said "GO TO HELL!!" and hung up on me, talk about customer service)

Thanks, hopefully this is the case for everyone getting the No Info line.

Guess it's time to load up ADB in the new laptop. Been waiting until I had the right feeling. Got enough positives in the area. Let's do dis.

Called 2 vzw corporate stores in Boston. Both said they have them in stock but haven't been given the go ahead to sell them.

The rep at the Boylston Street store said she's dying to have the phone too. I mentioned that there are some rumored dates, and before I could finish she interrupted me and said tomorrow is a rumored date but she hasn't heard anything official.

Also called 3 RadioShacks in the area, they all denied having any in stock.

Those who are surprised the phone didn't come out, and those who aren't.

Those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't.

I posted this information on Sunday after visiting a Verizon corporate store, but this thread moves so fast and you may have missed it. Now that we're getting so close, I feel it's worth repeating. I wasn't able to get any information about the Nexus that day, but the salesman did ask me if I was a veteran and when I told him that I was, he said to be sure to bring in my DD-214, which proves I was in the service and I would get 15% off.

Wow, that's a $45.00 discount!

Needs to be mentioned thanks for posting it aggain and thanks for serving our country and freedoms.

In My store the manager was the one who told me, and apparently he advised the other CSR's at the same time too, I dont think the official Gag order is still in effect. It just taking time for every store to get the notification.

Below is the pic from my wifes ultrasound

Spoiler

So we got to have the sonogram today. The HB is 182BPM and my wife is 9 weeks and 4 days along, with a estimated delivery date of 7/14/2011. I cant wait Heres the best pic Im soooo relieved its only 1 and its in great health If you look suuuuuper close you can make out the eye area and the nose

Congrats! My wife and I went to her 20 week ultrasound this morning and found out were having a boy, approx. May 1st. This is our second, we have a 2 year old boy that is just a hoot.

Anyone notice when you run the simulator and check out the mobile hotspot the animation changes to &quot;checking subscription status?&quot;

Does VZW intend on locking this and charging for it like the rest of their phones?

No, they plan on leaving it free, but only for this phone. All the rest will have the charge.

Amazing how this thread and this phone has made the lurkers come out, myself included.

Welcome! Warily excited is a good term. As the day goes on I will be changing to fully excited, and sleep will be hard to come by.

Sleep is for those who already have their Nexus. For us, we require no such thing. All we need is the motivation of a potential release to keep us charged up throughout the night!

Hey guys I'm back! Went to my local reseller who last week told me to come in today and he would have a demo. Lo and behold, he was playing with it as I walked in! Let me play with it for a good ten minutes or so. MAN! This thing is SEXY! We even booted up another Gnex to try out Android Beam. It was sick!!!!

Anyways, he confirmed with me tomorrow is the day and to be there at 9 when they open I asked him why some stores still deny and he told me there is a gag order out and they can't say anything until the official PR is released (he checks them as well).

There ya have it; I was down earlier but now am CONFIDENT it'll be in our grubby hands tomorrow!

 

[HanSolo]

So has the 70/30 changed now??

Yep. I think I'm now 95/05 in favor of tomorrow!!

 

[Rippin508]

Just curious, what is with the double postings today? Noticed this on 3-4 occasions.

Sorry if this has been explained already.

 

[vespoid]

Does anyone know if Verizon has a corporate presence in Blacksburg, VA? That seems to be where all of the locations in the simulator are, but google maps doesn't show even a corporate store, just some premium retailers.

 

[JRowMe]

wasn't there reports yesterday that mentioned that the 12/15 date was in the infomanager? I'm surprised if that was true that there isn't a screenshot...


doubt it setting in...

oh help me.

 

[kokiangel]

All I have to add to all the speculation is that I went to the corporate Verizon store here today and the rep there told me that they had been told that the release was now on a day to day wait because there was a battery issue and verizon wanted to wait until they had an OTA update to send out at the same time as the release. Take that with all the NACL you want.

 

[EarlyMon]

called vzw corp store... they said the phone's not released. .. i asked if vz does realease it, will you have it to sell tomorrow? He said yes. I said Praise the Lord!

OVER 2 MILLION VIEWS, BTW!

Yep, +2 million - for a while now - and around 10k away from doubling the Dinc thread. Practically striking distance to this crowd!

 

[HanSolo]

Yes I finally have my Galaxy Nexus

I love the GSM box so much more than the Verizon.

Frakking idiots even have to screw up the box.

Ugh.

 

[NEXUSorBUST]

Yes I finally have my Galaxy Nexus

Color me Jealous!! I wish the store you owned was in NC!! I am tired of getting the Verizonaround... I mean run around!

lol yeah sleep will be difficult tonight. I know one thing though....I'll have no problemo jumping out of bed in the A.M.

 

[SamMax]

Best Buy confirmed phone launch tomorrow. Only took 35 min for someone to answer the phone. insane

 

[GoRavens]

Its just amazing to me how varied the responses from vzw stores is, i called up about 5 locally in MD and although I got a couple to admit they had stock, none of them would say anything or claimed to know anything about the actual release. Most were nice people who I had a conversation with and seemed to be relatively upfront, one even blamed the delay on Samsung, said its the manufacturer holding it up (doesn't seem likely)

SO after all of that, I decided to call a vzw corporate store down in Florida where my parents are for the week, the guy has a waiting list going, says its unofficial for tomorrow, all of the communications theyve had have pointed to tomorrow, but he's been trying to get a definite answer from his higher-ups but they're being "wishy-washy" in his words.. And to completely make sure I realized I need to move to Florida, he told me they have a decent amount in stock and its too bad I'm not down there because he's got one running in the back that people are checking out

The pending Nexus release is tearing a hole in the space-time continuum.

How do you know this? Just wondering...
