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

[DSCR]

OT - Did you like your Eris? Personally I loved mine, but just hated that they stopped updating after it was discountinued. The Nexus kinda reminds me of the Eris mixed with the Galaxy Tab 10.1... the look of the Eris (kinda) and the format of the Tab... and seeing as I've owned both, that's a very good thing in my eyes!

Actually, my 2 daughters had the Eriss' (Eri?). I was rocking a BB Storm at the time. I eventually got them. Yes, I liked them and still like the form factor. As under powered as they were, they were still pretty good phones.

hope you are right about the GNex being as friendly and satisfying. I just hope it doesnt suffer previously weak sammy radio and gps. No sd card, etc. It's gonna be a learning curve. But hopefully, a pleasant one. Good luck with yours!

So, for those who know, how long does a credit verification take from Verizon for new accounts? Assume the account holder has excellent credit scores. Will it ship by today for delivery by Friday? Or am I looking at Monday?

when i used to work part time for dealers like 3 years ago, the credit ting is realy really quick. takes like 10 minutes max

Anyone buying from Amazon Wireless? It says back ordered already... and when I go to the checkout screen it says estimated delivery Dec 29

Its $150 more for me to order from Verizon's website so I'm in a dilemma here.

Are you signing up for a new account?

Are you signing up for a new account?

Yes. New account. Never been with Verizon Wireless, but have excellent credit.

Hi from Kalispell

 

[Karuk]

ordered mine online with next day delivery.

From my experience, if you ordered online it takes 1-2 days. If you go in store its done at the spot. Again just my experience

Has anyone in Northern Virginia successfully added $100 discount? I'm in a little dilemma whether to purchase it on LetsTalk or talk to CSR tmrw.

 

[Rybnik]

Ohhhh, I see. Oops. Lol. Um, I figure Khatmandu is right so I just want somewhere warm. You're more than welcome to surprise me.

Can Do

Can't. Sleep. Feel excited like I'm going to Disneyworld tomorrow. Still getting up early, though.

Goodnight again. Stop talking so loudly so I can sleep, k?

I Knew you weren't asleep! Alright, common out with it! Do BB and I have to cyber-hitch ourselves, or are you gonna make this official, so we can get on with our G-Nex honeymoon!

Well in in NJ and just tried, the rep said it would require a code at checkout, but he didnt have the code to give me. Though the rep that noted it on my account didnt say I'd need a code, with this much confusion I'm gonna call CSR in the morning.

Darn it. For me it'd be $175 on LetsTalk and $150 on VZW if I can get that discount. I'd really prefer just picking up the phone from a corporate store rather than waiting for UPS/Fedex/USPS to arrive next day...

 

[robbielolo]

So...

Do you guys think I should go into the store and try and get them to give me my upgrade (which is due in Feb.)?

And if they say no...should I pull the, "I'll cancel my account now" card?

I believe Amazon always does that for new phones...as in that's not true indicator of their stock.

Yeah well to me the savings are worth having it day 1.

Ah, cool. Last I was up that way I was on a trip through the park. Love it up there.

 

[Graham84]

What is the latest consensus on using the $100 4G promo when it has been noted on one's account? Will this be honored at corporate store or not? I don't see it online when I go to buy the Nexus now. I see a special offer price of $249 but that is it. I'm wondering if a corp store will even honor the special price or not.

611 support is closed now but a chat window just popped up... we'll see where this goes.

 

[bi0nicman]

thanks again to everyone who provided sources and leaks! while i remained skeptical of thursdays release, i'am sure glad it happened! now i could maybe get back to my regular life and stop obsessing over this phone....at least until i'm done tweaking the hell out of it

nite all!

 

[davey11]

Glad to see this place has returned to a snappy refresh and the posts coming at a more sedate pace.

Also glad that you guys ordering online are so excited....but I'll be excited before you guys cos I be going to the store and getting mine while yours are still on the fedex truck!

 

[lovebyte21]

Ordered. Got the $100 off but had to bill to my account. Now wait until Friday.

I tried to get that, but instead just had a pointless conversation with a rep.

 

[ajdroidx]

Its going to be odd seeing my phone boot up with out the Droid Eye

I can't get a chat window to save my life!

Why don't they just have a stupid button so you can get it when you want?
