For all those on AT&T, TM, etc:

Verizon Document Reveals Multiple US Carriers For Galaxy Nexus; It’s All In The Wording Android Phones, Android Tablets, News, Tech, Gadgets And More, Thedroidguy

The exact verbage from Verizon Wireless is as follows:

Verizon Wireless is the exclusive launch partner for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE smartphone, the first to offer the Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) operating system.

While a layman may quickly translate that to “Verizon Wireless has exclusivity of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus” that’s not what that text is telling us.

First off, it now says “launch partner”, we’ve seen this strategy many times before like with the iPhone 4S, AT&T was the exclusive launch partner but then Verizon received it.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see an almost simultaneous launch on several carriers. Maybe not the same day, but within days or short weeks. Especially given the fact that the GSM version has passed through FCC already. Nothing on Sprint's Wimax so far, but I guess we'll see.

What is going on with this LSU - Alabama game? I thought it was supposed to be a meeting of the Titans?

Hola Nexasaurians.

Just got mostly caught up, I think. I called VZW to check on if I had a NE2 discount coming and apparently I do.

Dude said that I was the second person to call today to ask about the Galaxy Nexus. He wasn't familiar with it; said he would have to look it up to see what the hype is about. I'm thinking, have you been living under a rock?? But then I remember we're supposedly a tiny minority here in this fishbowl of a massive thread.

You have to figure how many customers verizon has and the number on here is a tiny amount compared to all the customers and those who visit sites like these.

Bama's kicking game is weak 3 missed field goals? It is a clash of the titans and isn't going to be a high score game when you have the #1 and #3 overall defenses.

Oh I agree. I just think it's funny that one rep got two calls "out of the blue" on the Gnex today.

Thank you! I think more credit goes to Early and to OTD. They (especially OTD) are far more scawy than I am.

You need to stop. They are going to think your kidding.

You are entirely too modest. You all compliment one another very nicely.

I agree. I have been on a lot of forums and didn't want to actively post here. So I lurked for a long time and just started posting after seeing what a great job is done here. Not to mention the overall civility by most members! I applaud everyone, especially Steve as he leads by example!

jbdan · Nov 5, 2011

Off topic

: do we know anything about the speaker on the speakerphone? Like if it gets nice and loud w/o crackle?

I keep reading version and thinking it says Verizon and it confuses me until I reread it

O btw the binary I posted earlier said:
“ I really hope the Galaxy Nexus comes out on the 17!!!"

So. There's your quote, out of context.

Clearly, we have an artiste among us.

I respect your opinion, opinions by their nature are always valid.

I would respectfully argue with your premise though. outstanding!

For the record I was saying I'm a believer. Not sure how that point got missed. Kinda bums me out a smidge.

Considering the leaked document says launch partner, I say it's confirmed we get it on the 17th! Can't be a launch partner if you're late to the launch. Just my thoughts anyways.

I really, really, really hope ur right

Not an issue at all. Your quote was there as the believing view that was in dispute.

I was supporting your argument.

I'll go now and embed your quote within his, as it appeared originally in the thread, to clarify the flow of conversation.

edit - done. See if doesn't make more sense now. And - sorry 'bout that!
