Is there any way to get it cheaper than $299 if buying it in store at opening?

IHateMyTreo · Dec 15, 2011

Besides all of you...

Oh yeah, and the GN.

Thanks for accepting a non-tech savvy person into the Club. I've had a great time.

See you in BB's Lounge area.

So is amazon actually backordered or what?

It was actually never in stock so maybe they just haven't updated their inventory count yet.

Not all, as for some strange reason I can't sleep.

You could try getting the $100 promotional discount for Midwest customers upgrading from a 3g phone to a 4g phone.

Option 2 is investing in a ski mask

Its going to be odd seeing my phone boot up with out the Droid Eye

Same for me! Got a OG Droid on launch day and then a Droid X its launch day. So I've had a Droid branded phone for the past two years.

Be careful please.

Keep refreshing and talking to us - we'll keep you awake

i was going to say we'll keep you up but i know the other gutter minds in here would run with that one

Me too - I haven't touched one yet. I can't wait for tomorrow!!
(And I just ordered android decals the other day - nothing else for myself yet though cause we're too close to Christmas and I don't know what my friends/family bought but I know they all know I'm a bit of an android freak so it wouldn't surprise me to get android stuff )

Why is it that everything you say sounds so naughty

Seriously, though. I'm just as excited (I'm also a Galaxy Nexus virgin)

Sorry BabyBlues. XD

Actually, I had to edit down parts of people's posts so that I could be within posting requirements.... :eek:

I'm just rewatching Trigun and remembering how AMAZING it is! It's definitely my favorite anime. (Though to be fair the only other one I've watched beginning to end was Serial Experiments: Lain. Also great but very strange...)

If you like darker stuff, Bebop is like the second half of Trigun. There are a few light hearted eps, but mostly the story is somewhat heavier, and in some ways more mature than Trigun. Berserk (sorry misspelled before) is truly nuts. It is very hellishly violent and set in a sort of midieval fantasy world where there are demons. Its not hentai, but it is quite desturbing at parts. However it is phenominally well put together, with highly complex morally grey characters. I have really seen nothing else like it.

It has been nice to meet you all... see you in the other threads on this forum.

yes... there are other threads on this forum

I refuse to believe that! There is no world outside this thread. LOLOLOLOL! (At least that is kind of how my GF has been thinking of my actions over the last monthish) :rolleyes:

I hope you continue to have good playing opportunties, and good luck in your studies!

I want to say thanks for everyone who contributed to this crazy ride. I've really had a great time reading everyone's post. As you can tell by my post count that's all I really did. Coming from a G1 and now an Eris, I can really say having this device in my hands will feel like a substantial leap in technology. I've been talking about Android and saying how great it is since the day I got my G1(which is almost 3 years)! It's going to feel great having the latest and greatest from google. I look forward to participating in other threads and reading what everyone has to say. I would also like to thank all the Moderators for doing a fantastic job! I can only imagine all the hard work they do behind the scenes. The excitement of this phone hasn't hit me yet, it doesn't feel like it's actually happening, but it is. We will have our new Nexus soon! Thank you everyone!!!!

I still remember hearing about the G1 for the first time back when I was living in CA, I was driving home one day listening to All Things Considered on NPR and thinking, wow, Google made a phone. That's kind of crazy. They are ambitious. I wonder if they will ever make a phone as functional and sleek as an iphone (first gen of course, lol) I have come along way since then, and so has Google, ha ha!

The landing page was updated with a gallery and 360 degree view, in case anyone's interested.

Crossing my fingers that I wasn't ninja'd some pages back.

Sweet!! I love 360 views!

I'm about to take trip #2 to the VZW store to see if a line has formed yet. I doubt it, but it's only a mile away and if there's even one person in line I might as well wait there instead of here.

Plus I am trying to get as much time in playing my favorite game, because after months and months of playing it, I'm gonna lose ALL of my progress by switching to the Nexus. Hours and hours of "work" and probably close to $100 or more invested in the game, and it's just gone the moment I activate my Nexus... but, a small price to pay for my new toy =)

So the $249.99 price I see online at Verizon won't be honored if I waddle into the store?

DabirdisdaWord · Dec 15, 2011

wirefly.com is selling the nexus for 219.00

KevinMXoom · Dec 15, 2011

Welp, off to bed. This probably going to be my last post because I have a looooong road trip back home tomorrow. If all goes well I shall have an e-mail hit my inbox tomorrow notifying me that my Nexus order is approved, and it shall be mine Friday! I've been burnt before though... To those of you lucky enough to get yours tomorrow, enjoy!

Goodbye dear thread!

Graham84 · Dec 15, 2011

Does anyone know how to apply an upgrade to a different line when ordering online? I can't seem to figure out how to do it yet based on someone else's email confirmation, it seems to be possible.

Thanks in advance.

rivera02 · Dec 15, 2011

I was pretty bummed to find out Swype isn't available on the nexus since that's the ONLY keyboard I use...anybody know of a solid alternative? I've heard good things about slideIT, has anybody tried it?

modster · Dec 15, 2011

So my dad broke his phone a while back and used up my upgrade, my sister is using his to get a iphone, and apparently the next upgrade we have available is in july. "its not that long to wait" they said...
its just a phone they said...

As far as I know... No. It's strictly a discount for ordering online.

I'm able to pull the site up, but it's still showing as "Sorry, this product is no longer available" which it's been showing all night... hope it goes live soon... unless someone else has a more current working link?

That is what I was told in by a store rep as well. In addition, since I was doing and early upgrade, I would pay an additional $35 to do this. This fee is waived online.

So in my case buying it at the store will cost $335 and online will cost $249.

Ahhh geez. I'll give it a shot. Gonna be a sad panda if I have to order online.

I was planning on taunting everyone at the fruit store with it on my way back to my car.

Forget it, just going to order online and be done with it.

I haven't had any luck either. Couldn't even reload the page for the first couple minutes following midnight.

I keep rotating through load balancers (changing the number in www9.letstalk.com, for instance) to see if I get a more fresh page...
