*Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread

Jon Nale · Dec 14, 2011

I just realized that now that this thread will be closing, there is no reason I need to constantly check the Internet, and therefor have no need for a smartphone. Looks like I won't be getting the Nexus after all....

just kidding of course. I'm so pumped!!!

I called my local not very friendly Verizon corp store just too see what they would say. The still says it's not official even after I told him It's officially on Verizon's twitter account. What an Elwood!!

WheresTheBeef · Dec 14, 2011

Even though I've seen the press release, I keep pinching myself in disbelief!!

I had to call a store for a friend. I asked if they expect to have availability issues with the nexus tomorrow. She said no, this isn't like an iphone. I wanted to slap her through the phone.

Weird, I still don't see an email from Verizon about the Nexus. They kept telling to me sign up to get the information quickly...

My email must not be working because I'm sure they've sent it by now.

Welcome to the black hole that is "Verizon Wireless sign-up for release information" page(s).

If your post was sarcasm, well played.

HAHAHAHA I was just on *611 with a guy asking about billing to my account and said that I want to upgrade tomorrow. He was like tomorrow? Not today? And I said yeah I'm getting the Nexus tomorrow. And he goes ummm do you know something I don't know? And I told him about everything and he got mad that he didn't know yet because he is getting it too.

lol, same thing happened with me. i told her verizon had tweeted the official announcement a few minutes earlier, and the e-mail came through on her system as i was on the phone with her...

she moved up my upgrade date from 12/29 and also set it up so i can use my NE2 credit! then a few minutes later, the guy from the vzw store that i left my name/number with called me to let me know it's launching tomorrow and he's holding one for me...i can pick it up at 10am!

very excited!

Expecting everyone's computer to explode upon the announcement?

There are enough tools calling.. er I mean, you're not a tool, you just got caught up in the hype as I did. I have one (supposedly) on hold at a local RS but who knows at this point. Initially I called they said they had 2. Went in the next day to lick the box but wouldn't let me into the back cage. Said they only had 1. Hmm.... do I smell a rat? Bet the manager has one already activated.

Anyway, they've kind of taken the thrill of it down a few notches at least until we get our hands on it. I wonder if we'll love it for a week or so and then it will become just another phone, looking for the nexus... uh.. next big thing. Shoot me a pm when you get it Jim, we'll compare notes.

Will do man but I was just looking over my schedule tomorrow and while I have the morning free I'm worried having the phone will distract me all day and I have an insanely busy day of holiday catering so I'm thinking I might just wait till 11pm tonight and order it online and get it on Friday . What's one more day, plus Friday thru Sunday I dont' have a whole lot of work so I can really dedicate time to my phone at the expense of time with my GF haha but hey she'll understand ... not haha

thefajita · Dec 14, 2011

haha I just called the Best Buy by me to see if I can reserve the phone and the lady kept trying to tell me there is absolutley no way the phone is selling tomorrow and they have no stock. I told the lady that im looking at the announcement and she said I was wrong. I guess she doesnt want an easy sell.

with the release upon us (surely, verizon can't mess this up...), i've got a question for the group. I'm certain I want to buy a battery, and from the accessories we've seen it looks like we have two options:

1) the bigger battery: 2150mah
2) same sized battery with charger.

Setting price issues aside, which do you think makes more sense? Of course it'd be nice to have a larger battery, but i like the idea of being able to charge two batteries at the same time, which means if i wanted i could always have access to a fully charged battery.

any thoughts?

I'm thinking the same way you are. It's nice to always have a full size battery ready. I'm looking to get the dock and wondering if it has a place to charge that extra battery. That would be perfect!

Why is this thread open? Great news. It will be tough to sleep tonight! Congrats all and enjoy your phones. I'm rooting in the morning.

clipperqb · Dec 14, 2011

It's fitting. My Dinc just threw another "low on space" error at me. Bye.

essplode · Dec 14, 2011

Nooo! All the stores around me only open up at 10am and I have to be at work at 10!

I was hoping I could nab one before I had to head in.

Steven58 · Dec 14, 2011

Welp, tomorrow I go to the store and get the phone.. I want seriously and lovingly thank all of you.. contributors and well-wishers, for my new phone. I love you all.. (I'm not drunk, fyi).

How did you get a video of me dancing in front of the Verizon store??

jkc120 · Dec 14, 2011

How bad would it suck if the vzwnews twitter account was hacked and that was someone trolling us? LOL. I mean, nothing on VZW's FB or on Welcome To Verizon Wireless so it's weird...I'm sure it's nothing.

The lady I spoke with did the same thing. I insisted she check the press releases and twitter. Put me on hold and came back and said "ok we will have them tomorrow." I said, "I will be there when you open."

I find it funny/ridiculous that Verizon and every CSR was really pushing me to sign up for email updates on the galaxy nexus page so I can be the first to get information on the phone. I don't know about any of yall, but i have received no such email. Those Verizon execs still deserve a swift arrow to the knee.

Fixed.

Funny, the guy at my store right after I asked said "did you see the press release online"? lol

carpmike21 · Dec 14, 2011

Ever helpful downtown crossing (Boston) store confirms they're selling tomorrow (duh), but stated "we don't know what the stock will be."

I asked, "so you have them, but basically no one has counted them?"

"yeah."
