Lucky shoppers pick up Verizon Galaxy Nexus early at Best Buy -- Engadget
Oops, Some Best Buy Locations Selling Verizon Galaxy Nexuses Early
Signal: -108 dBm 32asuDid you prefer the Razr or the Gnex ? Btw you could check the signal strength at your house; one of the options in ICS shows the actual strength in dbm.
Yes it was, and wifi was turned on at the same time for most of it. I took the screenshot of the battery after I uploaded the 100+MB video file to youtube, emailed a bunch of photos, did some app downloading, used Maps Navigation, sent some emails, browsed the web, etc. Not 100% sure why Facebook was on there. I have it, and use it -- but I don't recall using it today... :\Thanks for posting. That's some serious battery suckage. Was 4G turned on the whole time?
Screen brightness was set to be automatic... Not at maxThat's a good point. I wonder if this battery chart is with the screen brightness at max. That would make me feel better if that was the case.
yep, got the discount yesterday morning. if you look back at my previous posts you will see details. But in any case I got the discount with no problem. However someone (I don't remember who) was reminded to try to get the discount by my post and was informed that the discount is regional but luckily he was in the correct region.I just tried this. Did you have any luck receiving the discount?
I have very good reason to believe it will come on the 15th, but I don't know if I can wait any longer than that. I know I'll be real upset if I don't wait it out but Verizon had a promise that they would make an announcement this year and if it doesn't come out on the 15th, I'll be done with the whole ordeal, because I'm tired of waiting!
Whaaaa?
I am? I went away for a bit and am on the app, didn't notice.
I wasn't supposed to be normal til 12/11.
Maybe someone took pity?
Interesting.

It would be interesting to rerun the test after the 4.0.3 update, which IIRC has some LTE fixes that are supposed to be helpful.At my house, LTE is currently 92ms ping, 7.30 Mbps download and 1.97 Mbps upload. It was faster on the RAZR. I have one bar of LTE whereas the RAZR when I rented it was much faster. However, about a mile down the road, when I tested it out 2 hours ago gave me: 99ms ping, 23.54 Mbps down and 18.80 Mbps up. The second result was more like what I was getting on the RAZR at my house.
It may be that the LTE radio isn't picking up the signal as well? I do not know, I just know that at my house it is not as quick and the signal is not as fast as the RAZR was. But in a stronger area they were the same.
Signal: -108 dBm 32asu
EDIT: Forgot to answer your first question: I definitely prefer the Gnex. Much more comfortable in my hand. ICS is amazing. everything is better imho

Someone else asked about seeing it outside. I have no problems seeing it in direct sunlight - even with automatic brightness. Screen is amazing. No real issues at all
Wow - talk about Phandroid hate. Our members had them first, Phandroid ran the story first on Friday.
News blog competition for the phail.
Maybe if they'd reposted our story from Friday, things would have gone viral and as I'd predicted, retailers would have caved to pressure this weekend en masse.
Phail, phail, phail. I lose, eating crow, the community sees widespread lose with scattered win.
A handful of winners does not vindicate my prediction - I predicted this to be widespread. Oh well.
I sure hope that VZW sees this was there error and these sales are just something they will have to accept afterall last I checked humans can't read minds and VZW doesn't speak theirs.
Today I went in to return my hotshot while waiting I looked in their back room while CSR were in and out I saw maybe 10-20 all white boxes (i've seen the box in person) of nexus goodness I asked the store manager he flat out said they didn't have any. I think didnt call him on it. I just said thank you and walked out
FWIW, stopped at a Verizon reseller in Cameron Park since I was right by it. I asked about the Nexus and he said "yeah it's not out yet. It was pushed out again. It was supposed to be the 15th but they pushed it to the 18th or 19th". He said of course they want this thing out by Xmas.
If this is true (major NaCl here), Verizon is dumber than I thought to miss another Xmas shopping weekend. So if that's true, it must be something major to miss yet another weekend.
Ah, I saw what you did with the NaCl, lol. Sodium chloride aka Common salt. Yeah Verizon would be dumb altogether if they push this back beyond the 15th. If pushed back, then it may just be worth waiting for the CES to scout what will be coming because by then, the Galaxy Nexus is old technology, and it'd be kind of pointless to buy it then. So let's hope for the best.FWIW, stopped at a Verizon reseller in Cameron Park since I was right by it. I asked about the Nexus and he said "yeah it's not out yet. It was pushed out again.

Okay I successfully got the discount added to my account and posted the info yesterday, here is a link to the post

If you are interested in the actual email I sent to Verizon to get the discount it was short and simple
No negotiating or anything, they just added it to my account, although when I went to a premium reseller yesterday they could not see anything listed, but then again it was the same day as it was put on the account.
