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

[indierocke]

Another long time lurker here finally posting for the first time after the big news. I've been following this thread for two weeks now and I just wanted to say thanks to all of you guys and the mods for making the wait bearable and for the most part enjoyable despite of all the ups and downs with rumored releases, especially last Friday. I've laughed, I cursed, got my hopes up, and then got them down, but all in all it's been fun reading the forum everyday. It feels great to finally have this confirmed and it's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Like many of you I've called stores, talked to reps, tweeted angry messages at @VZWNews, considered canceling service and getting the GSM version, and all of those things. I'm glad the wait is finally over for all of us and wish you all the best of luck tomorrow heading out to the stores! My nearest local store has over 40 to sell tomorrow and I've got an appointment first thing in the morning at 9:00 to pick it up, but I'll do a drive by at 8:00 just to make sure there isn't a line or anything

It's been fun guys and I look forward to getting more into the forums once I get my device and share in the excitement with all of you!

Thanks again for all of the help, info, tips, and the humour! You guys (and gals) are the best!

The plus off having a business account they'll give me a discount on the phone and accessories then give me free overnight shipping

Working in IT has its perks.

Are you saying you are going to have it shipped to your door when you have 500 verizon corp stores in the chicagoland area that you can go to?

I've never been so happy to be wrong!!!!!!!!!!

wait wait.....official? Can someone link me to the official announcement?

Official: Galaxy Nexus on Verizon Launches Tomorrow for $299 – Droid Life

It's in the article.

I don't know him at all, but he has been acting like a 5 year old throughout this whole thing with all his statements and comments.

Mods: Delete if you think this is too much of a grey area with regards to personal attacks.

The only twitter people I am still following related to this are britishturbo and droid_life. The others were an end to a means, and their attitudes are not something I care to see in my twitter feed. Ever again.

Where's truelove79? I want to rub this in his face.

He's still crying in his pillow. He hasn't seen the news yet. "Oh whoa is me....."

@VerizonWireless: "It’s official, Galaxy Nexus by Samsung on sale tomorrow at 1am EST! It’s worth the late night!"

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

 

[ebe3692]

anyone familiar with these releases think corporate stores will actually sell out of phones? we are obviously a vocal minority but dont know how this will translate into real life sales tomorrow. i may not be able to get to the store till after 5

I really want to go get it tomorrow morning (I'm in Denver now and there is VZW like 2 blocks from my loft) but I have such a full day at work tomorrow if I buy it in the morning I'm sure to not get my work done tomorrow so if it's delivered to me at work friday I can stop working and play away .

I don't trust myself but we'll see how I feel around midnight tonight

I'm going at lunch to play with the SGN but I doubt I will walk out with one. I still want to wait a bit of real world time and I want to see if I can find it on sale at Amazon. I know it isn't likely, and I might even be screwing myself not to snap up the initial shipment (if there will be any scarcity) but I feel I should wait.


Not that I haven't waited long enough.

 

[nashfh]

Well, I've had to inform the 3 stores around me that there was a press release and it's official. It's as if they have no idea what this phone means to the future of humanity! I'll just show up tomorrow morning I guess and stalk them. Hehe.

I've never been so happy to be wrong!!!!!!!!!!

Way to take it on the chin and then take it like a man. We're all glad you were wrong too, but in all fairness, this was the most crazy release EVER!

 

[woodraskam]

I've never been so happy to be wrong!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad you reverse jinxed us

In the end we're all happy, cause we all get phones.

Sorry, but I have to do this

Spoiler

I told ya so. You got us 6 times, but I finally got to say it once.

I've actually posted twice. Once about 5 minutes after the press release when out, and again about 5 minutes ago. But no one sees them because this thread is moving so fast. I'M TOTALLY PUMPED AND HAPPY TO BE PROVEN WRONG!!!!

 

[parrotheadmjb]

Fed Ex only delivers on Saturday for an extra charge. Verizon doesn't pay for Saturday delivery...

Thats false, they charge extra for overnight and two days shipping saturday delivery; ground home delivery is tuesday-saturday.

Steven, have you written your closing statements yet?

I know that the Incredible sold out and some stores sold out of the Thunderbolt .

When I got to the Downtown Denver store for the Tbolt 30minutes before they opened there was 5 people in front of me by 5 min till there were another 20 behind me and from what I heard by 11am they were sold out. But other stores had plenty , but that is a high traffic store

For everyone who's still bagging on P3 (to each their own, guess I have thicker skin when it comes to him) here is ONE retweet of his that I think we can all agree is pretty fantastic:

Pretty much sums up how most of us felt leading up to this end.

 

[IgnatiusXIX]

Dup post. Silly site, get it together! This is no time to keep acting up like this!

 

[gleeder]

What do you mean, thoughts?

Is it really going to be released at 1am EST? As in I can go pick it up at 1am tonight? Or is that the normal way of doing things, and it really just means normal business hours tomorrow?

 

[HanSolo]

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

It's on for pre-order tonight at midnight CST, 1am EST.

 

[keegan1014]

yeah, confirmed in Delaware tomorrow.
