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

The_Chief said:

Hi Gnexers!

I'm back from Real Life, wherein I stopped by Radio Shack for something. Their marquis sign read "$100 off Verizon smartphones" so I inquired about it. Turns out that promo INCLUDES Nexus!

That may help some folks out here who are tight for cash but still want to play Nexus with us!

So when Nexus hits the streets, there's a choice to be made:

Do I get a Launch Day phone with $50 loyalty discount? Or...
Do I wait till the Shack gets them and get $100 off?

Decisions, decisions...

9-1/2 days to go!

Lets just suppose (I know, I know) that Verizon has announced the release and pre-order dates.

1) Do we really believe we would have less angst. I bet not - but rather the opposite. You will then have a date in mind when your new phone will be in your hands.

2) The date of when it would be in your hands will spill into another 5000 posts. Can I get it a day early if I preorder? Will you chase down the UPS truck if one passes you on the way home? Will they deliver to work so I am sure I will be there? and on and on.

3) What is the must have app list?

4) Root or not to Root
i
5) Etc, Etc, Etc. etc.

The angst for the day of delivery will be greater than anyting we now have. I believe, and am somewhat basing this on the Dinc thread, this thread will blow up for a while.

Last questions - What happened to those who a) had a friend who saw boxes in the stores, b) those stalking outside stores watching what comes off delivery trucks, c) those who had "Sources" with info, or d) those with sisters in the know - scratch d) as I know what happened here.

Anyway - So many questions

But if we won Verizon would have to pay our lawyer fees.

Seems like everyone really is in the dark as to the true release date. As others have said, sources report what they believe is true at that point and time.

well, i was completely let down :-(...just got clarification, i'll just enter the entire email chain below so that all of you can see the previous e-mail correspondence as well so it all makes sense :

Spoiler

CSR: test

Me: got the test email. thanks for helping us out tonight with the red Droid Inc 2,

CSR: Very welcome ! week of christmas eve is the expected launch time for the Nexus!

Me: oh god i hope it comes sooner than that lol

Me: also i was curious where that "christmas eve week" timeframe came from, is that official from verizon? or a manager? thanks again for any info and help you give me

CSR: I had a training for the phone and at the end it said "available the week of 12-16" so verizon said it lol

Me: oh well that sounds pretty official lol, did you get to play with the phone when you were training?

CSR: haha pretty official, It was an online training.. Its going to be pretty sick, im pumped

Me: oh god me too, theres nothing bad at all about that phone great screen great power, great camera, great everything, not to mention amazing software. cant wait

CSR: its the little things in life lol, its going to be crazy in here launch day

Me: i can only imagine, hopefully its on wednesday thursday or friday (i know typically its on thursdays) because i work from home wed. and fri. and have off thursdays, otherwise i'm at work all the way up north in somerset.

CSR: busy guy! i have a feeling there going to do pre-orders online. you probably wont even need to make a trip into a store!

Me: thats a good point, if you find out anything regarding a preorder let me know !

CSR: okay will do

Me: hey, i'm actually hearing rumors of a possible pre-order starting tomorrow (11/29) do you think thats at all possible?

CSR: thats the word on the street....

Me: word on the street/forums or word inside verizon? lol

CSR: street/forums.. as far as im concerned its still the week of the 15th

Well, i tried guys and gals. You may notice that in earlier conversation she mentioned week of 12/16 was mentioned in her training which sounded weird because that's like saying "week of Friday the 16th" which usually wouldn't make sense, but then in the most recent reply she says week of the 15th (15th being Thursday) so lets still continue hoping that this is incorrect and just take it FWIW.

The really confusing part is that she says Christmas Eve, then in the next sentence she says the 16th Isn't Christmas Eve usually on the 24th?

Thanks for doing what you could!

Also FWIW I texted the guy I talk to at Verizon asking what his source is for the $199.99 price tag, and what the phones memory was going to be.

Lets see if he fails the test.
