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

[sneakking]

No, because with shipping it won't be a full $50 off anyways... plus I like instant gratification!

same here, my bro used my upgrade so i have to 'steal' one, so i can't use those sites unfortunately

i will have it in my hands in the morning though

Looks like I'll be losing my $5 (250 message) text plan when I upgrade I guess $10 (1000 msg) isn't too much more though.

 

[nascar01]

Where was the press release found in the OP . I went to news.verizonwireless.com nothing about the GN was there?

 

[Gadgetblurb]

Well, as predicted the Nexus drops and I go on vacation for two weeks first thing tomorrow. May need to stop by the local vzw shop while on vaca. Congrats all!!

 

[EarlyMon]

Congratulations Nexicans!

Wow it feels weird tonight. After many months of traveling this journey with y'all, speculating, comparing, joking around, bickering, googling, wikipediaing, youtubing, bragging, teasing, getting teased... this is... The End?!

What's weirder for me is that after the whole Bionic -> SGS2 -> Function -> Stratosphere -> Prime -> Nexus quest, I ended up bailing at the last minute for an irresistible (for me) Black Friday deal on another phone. How anti-climactic was that?

THANK YOU to the mods, who've really done a bang-up job here keeping us more or less on track with good humor. Steven, you deserve all of the accolades, just stop apologizing when it's really someone else being the jerk. OTD, keep up the spirit (hundreds of years old though it may be.) And Early, thanks for being a class act. Not too many people could be so overtrained & overqualified for your modding role while also being patient w/newbies and always eager to discover and explain the new tech. (IMHO you shoulda gotten a freebie Nexus too. Sigh.)

I'm actually really happy w/my fast-running Rezound with its sharp-as-hell screen, and I've had fun making it jump through some hoops already. And yet... ah that Nexus and its bloat-free ICS and promises of intriguing NFC possibilities to come. Good luck folks, you are going to love love love your new phones!

Looking forward to reading the happy new owner reviews, and I'll catch you here in the forums. It's almost midnight here on the east coast: For those ordering online, get out your credit cards now!

- BlueBiker

PS: When Rezound finally gets ICS, it'll be the better phone for sure.

I found your contributions here to be just consistently fabulous!

Not sure if this is posted yet, this thread moves so fast, but:

[Deal] Galaxy Nexus Available from LetsTalk for as Low as $155 for New Customers, $175 for Upgrades – Droid Life


Droid life says 12:01 PST...

 

[Zaev]

Don't overdraft...it really isn't worth it!

Though using a credit card might not be so bad...

If only that were an option.

 

[sneakking]

So when I go through the steps on that website it looks like there is no way to keep my unlimited data plan....is that right?

it was one of the many options when i tested it...it should be there

 

[escobar0o3]

hahahahaha...that's just embarassing...

You: no i think you're misinformed
You: verizon officially announced that it would be available later today
You: can you ask someone when the ordering process will be available online?
You: i am hearing that it will be available online at 1am EST
You: can you confirm this?/
You: hello?
Andre: Would you like that link to the actual information?
You: are you even reading what im saying?
You: hello?
Andre: Although we do not have this information, I can provide you with the features of this device today.

I can't believe people aren't waiting to see it go for sale live....I still have that tiny little voice that says but where's the press release?I know it's crazy and the phone is coming out, but I really need to see it.

As soon as I see that page show it, I know it's gonna fully sink in

What a day! What a day!

Your going to be alright lol.

 

[soy.lor.n]

Until everyone has a "Sent from my Galaxy Nexus" tag!

How do you actually do that? I never worried about it before because I never exactly wanted to brag about my Intercept


"Sent from my Android Phone. Which one? Oh... Look over there!" doesn't seem like a reasonable signature.

I'm waiting too I can't wait to see it up on the site. Even though I know it's a done deal. Comes as no surprise

What does lte region specific mean?

 

[thefajita]

I better still be able to get double data! anyways, goodbye sprint!

What does lte region specific mean?

Can you use it in a sentence please

 

[crazy3gz]

WHOO!! I have my "apt" with a CSR at my local store set for 9am. Man I BETTER walk out of there with a phone. I wonder how supply/demand is going to be.

 

[modster]

Well, its been a great ride. I couldn't imagine a more fun group of people to wait for this thing with. I'm sure I'll see most of you around the "all things root" for this beast, or just anywhere else around the forum, and when there are rumored 256 core monstrosities with terabytes of ram (definitely not exaggerating ) that make our wee lil nexie's look like abacuses (abaci?). The future is lookin' pretty awesome, I'll see ya'll there.

Less than 11 hours to go til I get to hold Darth Victorius!

At this point we're so used to this phone not coming, that it's hard to believe it now that it's for real... it is for real right?

We'll know in less than an hour's time. I reeeeally wanted to get it in a brick-and-mortar, but the only corporate store is 100 miles from here, and my local reseller says he couldn't get any in stock for tomorrow. So hopefully whatever warehouse the online orders ship from is well-stocked and I get this thing on Friday...

 

[cregger]

now in stock on amazon - new line for $199 and upgrade for $249

[HanSolo]

Hey whatever happened to the people who were telling us about their store reps saying it was delayed?

 

[jbdan]

WHOO!! I have my "apt" with a CSR at my local store set for 9am. Man I BETTER walk out of there with a phone. I wonder how supply/demand is going to be.

My guy told me that he has a ton of people asking about the release and said he's been texting them all today that it was the day

Think I'm going a little early to check it out then book over to another store if it is too crowded. I have 4 corp stores within 9 miles of me.

What does lte region specific mean?

It's locked to Verizon's LTE frequency - a la, it cannot be used on any other carrier's LTE bands.
