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

[alprazolam]

Oh man! Decisions! I want my phone in the morning but I need to get it for $249, like offered online. I have an 18% corporate discount on phone service. Will that do anything for me?

 

[lovebyte21]

I think I just need to take a step back and re-evaluate my purchase options in the morning after local stores and phone customer service is open. I think I might try calling that VP office I talked with a few weeks ago to see if I can get any kind of discount. I just hope it doesn't sell out in the meantime!

So I guess this will be my last post in this thread. I probably won't get back online until later morning tomorrow and I'm on the West Coast. So good night everyone!

I think for $75, I will just buy it in store tomorrow. I'll have to use my last NE2, but I'll have the phone in hand tomorrow and no worries of fees if I switch it to a different line. Not worth the hassle to me.

Anyone want to donate $75 to me?

I don't blame ya. 3-4 days might just be an ass-covering clause, but $75 isn't worth the risk in my mind. Can you imagine if you didn't get the phone until Monday or Tuesday? That'd suck big time! Especially if after doing so, you realized you just locked yourself in for the whole term....ugh. Everyone should just go pick it up in 5 hours! You'll be much happier! Lol

verizon is not available right now for buying this phone...will try letstalk

 

[spaceynyc]

ordered from LetsTalk.com got it 144.95 shipped
(Existing Customer/Primary line on family account, 2000 minutes shared, 1000 messages)

For some reason when I clicked 1000 text messages.. the phone dropped like 30 bucks for me instantly... I wonder why?

 

[1Time]

Any answer to whether the upgrade is transferable for LetsTalk?

OK, bed time for me... have to be up in 4 1/2 hours and my excitement is wearing off. lol

Night everyone.

This'll probably be my last post on this thread...
Thanks for all the help guys!
It was fun reading all the speculation.

I was mostly a lurker here (except for the puny 100-200 posts I sprinkled in throughout the last month) so I won't be missed but I will miss reading this thread and about the people in it. Honestly, this thread made the wait for this phone about 50x harder! but in the end I think after I get the Galaxasorous Nex it will make it even more satisfying.

Thanks to this forum I've learned lots about phones and because of the job done by the powers in charge I will definitely be returning here for all my phone questions, comments, and inquiries!

But.....considering how addicted I am to this site now, I'm sure I'll keep lurking. In the words of a crappy goo goo dolls song, I'm addicted.

One, two, three, four!
Look around this dirty town
Drink it up till we fall down
Don't want to live forever this way
But it's gonna have to do for today

Oh, I'm addicted as I want to be
I'm addicted as I want to be
I'm addicted as I want to be
I'm addicted as I want to be

Before that hurried call (tweet)
I had my back against the wall
No, don't want to be shown (what an operating system is, seriously vzw?)
Go out and learn your own

I believe the corp discount gets you an instant rebate instead of mailing in for it (if mail in rebate is offered)

Did you have unlimited text, pics and video for all accounts before? that cost 30

LetsTalk gives you more of a discount when you select 1000 text message option. It's like an incentive for you to choose the more expensive option.

Swype | Text Input for Screens

this should help...

Yea apparently you can install it but it will not work because the resolution isn't supported..an admin on their sure said probably early next year

 

[Mr. Orange 645]

I too doubt I'll be back before the thread is locked. I will see you all in the lounge and the rooting sections!

Thanks to Steven58, EarlyMon, OTD, and the other Mods for keeping us in line and on track. I don't know any of you, but I enjoyed getting to know the web-based version of everyone.

And, Steven, before you sing your happy song tomorrow, be sure and warm up those pipes first! We can't have our vocalist going hoarse!

G'night, everyone!

The sad thing is verizon still hasn't sent email for folks who registered for more information....

When i selected 1000 text option at lets talk the phone stayed at 299; so i skipped them....

I guess I'm just very surprised that there are so many people willing to wait at all by ordering online, no matter what site you order from. I get that you can save some money, that's cool, but after the rollercoaster we've been on for the past month and a half, I just want my damn phone. I know it's most likely not going to be a very long wait, but I'll have mine in a little over 5 hours and I can guarantee I wouldn't want to wait an additional 28 hours on top of that, lol. But I guess some people can't make it to the store in the morning and/or are strapped for cash so that makes sense. Just didn't expect it to be this popular of a choice after this trainwreck of a launch.

And there are those of us required to order from vzw, online.

Goodnight folks,

May all your Nexus dreams come true.....

Well wouldn't you know, got my email from Samsung about the Nexus being available from Verizon. It only came 3 hours after the phone was released. SMH...

Oh yeah? Why's that?

 

[you2]

Well I can't order the phone till i see it in person; have to make sure the audio is loud enough et all. I'll probably go by corp store at 8am and see if they have a demo; and play with it and then decide to either buy it then; or do the online job. No offense but I just can't see buying a phone i never played with to ensure it is the right phone for me.

First post ever. Been reading this thread for about a month or so. It has been fun guys! Ordering mine tomorrow over the phone through a manager approved upgrade.

 

[NextNexus]

That's weird cause I tried buying it again but selecting the 1000 text plan instead (everything else stayed the same, upgrade on family plan) it came out to $30 less.

Well, to be fair, you'd still have the return policy even if you did.... but I know what you mean.

 

[mistermojorizi]

Wow... I bet they make a lot of money with that little clause. Just solidifies my stance that you'd have to have a crazy good reason to order anywhere other than VZW online or the store itself. Most of the time, it's just not worth saving 50, 100 or even more because they'll get ya with little stipulations or longer wait times or a million other things. Unless VZW is straight up out of phones, I will be getting mine there promptly at 9AM. Thanks for the post! I'm sure a lot didn't know that, myself included!!

what about costco? save $50 on tax?

 

[crt134]

Oh yeah? Why's that?

On a siblings' employee account. At least this thing doesn't have the iphone policy on it, vzw employees still can't upgrade to a 4s thru their employee accounts lol
