I just ordered my Galaxy Nexus online and it gave me $100 when I checked out so I got it for $199

I also ordered some of those touch screen gloves ... Anyone use those ? they were only $15 so I figured why not I just got $100 off. Also I was surprised I couldn't order the extended battery or case . Nothing for the nexus was in the accessory area except universal things
I wanted to do the instore thing but this is just going to be easier , free overnight shipping so I should get it Friday afternoon

Maybe it's just my personal preference, but I hate buying Verizon accessories. They are overpriced and never worth it. eBay and other websites have bundles that you can buy for like $9.99 that have 12 different things in them (exaggerating a bit, more like 5 items) and they usually end up being better quality than the stuff that's $30/per. Plus, you get free shipping most of the time too. Screw getting it at VZW.

Oh, and never used the gloves. Don't know if i really would ever, but for $15 you can't really go wrong.

I thought i would order it tonight just to be to safe but I kind of want to check out the deals on accessories if they really are 50% off.

If for some insane reason I can't get the nexus at any store tomorrow, I will definitely order it online before 430pm so as to get it the next day.

Ok guys, tomorrow I have a block period of Band at 8 AM, a block period of Spanish (boring!) after that, and then a short free period...

Who says I ask my parents to order my Nexus and bring it to school tomorrow?!

Well, that's not happening unfortunately, but I will have it by 5 PM, I know that much.

Anyways, I'm going to get some rest. THANK YOU EVERYONE! You have made this an amazing journey and I simply cannot believe we are FINALLY here!

Good night everyone

Enjoy your Nexi, I know I will!

Hey guys sorry if this has already been posted but before I place my order. I live in NY and it's 1:22 EST. If I choose the $12.99 super duper deluxe awesome special bow on top shipping, when should I be expecting it? If today is thursday would it be friday?

*edit* or rather, is it worth spending the extra few bucks for the upgraded shipping or is it not going to really make a difference since it's 1:30 in the morning on a thursday?

What an exciting day/night. Congratulations to all of you ordering tonight and thanks for sharing so we could live vicariously through you.

I'm off to bed so I can get up early to get reports from the right coasters about their buying experiences. I'm on the left coast tonight and hope to pick up a phone in the am before slipping the surly bonds of earth.

My last good night my friends.

Good night!! See you in a few hours. If I somehow miss you on the way out have a safe flight and we will see you at the watering hole!!!

Ho-ly Shih-tzu! It is ordered. I may have to call in tomorrow to see about getting the adjustment for free overnight shipping because I got charged for it, but I really, really don't care at the moment.

It's mine, you understand? Mine, mine! All mine! Go, go, go! Mine, do you hear me? Out, out, out! Mine, mine, mine! Go away! There's only enough for me! <maniacal cackle>

Thanks to everyone who made this thread so addictive and fun. I hope everyone gets their Nexus as soon as they can and that it is everything everyone hoped it would be.

Everything is 5x5. Peace out!

LMAO!! Love it!

JustNexus said:
Just curious- I am picking mine up tomorrow morning but if you did overnight shipping right now when would you get it by?

Friday I believe

AFAIK only the (4G) batteries are 50% off.

MMcCraryNJ · Dec 15, 2011

How did you guys get that FedEx priority shipping? All I saw was "Free Overnight Shipping". Are they the same?

Done.

Yep that's the email. I was gonna post mine but knew I'd be ninja'd.

Wow... that is hardcore waiting right there.

Whatever happened to Samsung's whole "Stop Waiting" ad campaign? I love how you're contradicting it

(as the hipster girl in the ad would say: "9 hours down, and we're almost in the door" )

Lol... I'm not taking any chances this time around. Too many things have gone sour with this release that I don't need to add "We just ran out, sorry" to the list!! Lol

Orioles2564 · Dec 15, 2011

Why on Verizon does it say that the Nexus doesn't have a removable battery?

Kid Dynamite · Dec 15, 2011

So I just ordered my GN on Verizon's site and upon completing the transaction, I received this message:

Your order is subject to final credit approval. We will contact you if we need additional information to complete your order. Pre-orders will ship when the item becomes available. We reserve the right to limit quantities. You cannot change your shipping address after you submit the order.

The GN is available right now is it not? Meaning it WILL be shipped tomorrow?

Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see free overnight shipping.

darejer said:

Oh, then I'd still get an extended battery. I don't see them going much lower than 25 bucks even online ( but I usually don't buy replacement batteries so I could be wrong)

I would have totally done this. With my luck it'd be back ordered by then.

9am est

Have you checked that recently?

If so that sucks because not only are we 3 hours behind but also the store opens later.... Annoying!

ggamannom · Dec 15, 2011

do ALL verizon locations have the phone? There's a premium retailer near me but it's too late to call to ask

Yea I kind of feel like I'm taking a slight risk by doing this (even if I'm not), so hopefully that won't happen to me

ISASoilder · Dec 15, 2011

Did anybody only see the UNLMIT DAta ( who were grandfatherd) and nothing else included in the plan after your ordered? My monthly new bill said it will be less then 50dollars hehe i know thats a Lie lolz

Oh, and never used the gloves. Don't know if i really would ever, but for $15 you can't really go wrong.

I only wanted the extended battery I have a 50% accessory thing on my account so it would have only been $20-25 ... The gloves will be nice if they work , I'm out late a lot in Chicago and Denver and the winters can get kinda cold being outside at 2am I wear gloves occasionally but it's a pain when you have to remove them just to use your phone

There's never a mod around when you need one!

Not true. You are so swift, that there was only one time I was around when things were going south, and by the time I had a chance to look back, *Poof* things were cleaned up and back on track. That is MAJOR dedication, my friend! My hat is off to You :cool:

BTW, I am a huge Cowboy Bebop. That, Trigun, and Berzerk, are probably my top three favorite anime series of all time!

BabyBlues said:
G'nite!!!

No, no, no, I was saying goodnight to Woods!

Although I should go to bed soon...I'm just too excited about tomorrow...
And for our HM. Where are we going btw? Bahmas, Hawaii, Mediterranian. You name it.

Second thought, Zedster will try to follow us...We had better decide in secret

My store normally opens at 10am (and was showing that as late as Monday), but it is showing 9am tomorrow.

So... I made my first trip of the morning to my local VZW. I wanted to make sure there were no crazy Nexicans stealing my spot in the line! My goal is to be the very first, no matter what.. All quiet so far.. I'll be going back in an hour to check again!

GO BACK NOW. I think I see someone hiding by the trash can.
