I didn't catch it earlier. What's up with the doubting Thomas's today.
Always. We have all learned that a grain, or shaker, of salt is to be taken with anything that looks remotely positive

I'm betting that rep was out sourced from India...Sometimes the verbiage isn't quite right.

I just got a tweet of an online convo with a csr who started that pre release starts Wednesday. Is this old news? I'd this creditable? I tweeted it bit perhaps it should be in the OP?
btw I am on the train home now. Back to nj.

its been posted and the next vs this thing has been discussed...IOW...this is kind of not relevant...but its another piece of the puzzle. Plus you can photoshop a chat convo.

Gladly - we have detailed instructions in a thread in our Galaxy Nexus All Things Root subforum -
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-nexus-all-things-root/452146-how-root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html
Package download and full details for what you'd like are under the heading:
Click the [Show] button just below that to get the download link and the exact process to unlock the bootloader.
Also, you'll find a wealth of other root information in that subforum.
So I installed the android-sdk and installed a platform. I have adb but not fastboot. Everything I have read seems to imply that fastboot should have been installed along with the sdk. Any suggestions?

I just called csr and she looked something up and said they are waiting for Samsung to release the phine. So go figure that out she's the first to tell me that the hold up is Samsung.

As for rooting, it was said earlier that rooting does not wipe your phone. For those folks who are saying that, have you read the instructions for rooting a GNex? To root it you unlock the bootloader which wipes your phone as clearly stated in the instructions. The DX's root method didn't but that appears to have no bearing on the GNex.
At this time, I couldn't care less about unlocking my bootloader. I'm getting the first ICS phone for a reason and don't see loading ROMs as compatible with experiencing ICS. I DO want to root it so I can do proper backups with TiBackup and tweak the little things root provides. I also assume Windbag's tweaks require root.
Seems like a good strategy is to mess with the phone for a bit to ensure it's for you, knowing anthing you do is temporary. As soon as you know it's a keeper, root that pig, thus wiping the phone THEN start installing and tweaking with gusto!
At least that's the strategy I'm planning on using,

Hey everyone! Well the weekend has about come to an end. So have we gotten multiple independant statements from CSR about a wed. Pre-order? Or just the one? I know britishturbo said it would be a short Pre-order, one day would qualify as that.
