PR announcement

Picking mine up in 45 min. Hopefully there is no iPhone style line there.

I think there might be something wrong with me. I am a little more excited about the arrival of the Galaxy Nexus in my hands than when my first born arrived.

Sitting at the Corp store in Watauga, TX. First one here! Got about 45 minutes till they open...ugh, the waiting is unbearable!!

Ugh . . . I can't watch this any longer. As happy as I am for you all, I'm getting GREEN with envy and a bit PANICKED that there won't be any left for me when I get off of work. I won't be back here until 4:30 est HOPEFULLY with a Gnex in hand.

I'm sure this has been posted, but the vzw nexus page has a callout to the double data deal

Guess what! I met up with Galpdawg at the store! I am in line and am having a great deal of fun with my new friend from android forums.

I snagged myself an extended battery for silicon cover a screen protector so I'm ready to get this baby.

Great meeting Steven58 while "patiently" waiting in line to get our Nexus. cant wait to see those pics posted!

Someone convince me to root when I get it in a few hours. I always root, but the reason why is because I want vanilla android/or the closest to vanilla for that matter. So why should I root? I don't really tether or anything. I'm just looking for a little push so someone convince me!!

About 20 people ahead of me. More coming in all the time. Managers seem shell shocked. Heard one calling another store to get more reps here. Very disorganized, but what else is new. I suggested that if vzw ever checked their emails, FB, or twitter accts they wouldn't have been surprised!

Yeah, they were calling other stores to try to get more phones too! Very disorganized and unprepared. I'm wondering if Verizon rushed to release today without telling everyone, and that's why there were conflicting reports all day yesterday.

Not anymore, now it's "Be Impactful" and hustle.

The_Chief · Dec 15, 2011

Time for me to leave!

I know, I know: My Rep shows up later... but I'm gonna go play around with the demo for an hour and THEN buy Ginny!

Have fun folks - our day has come!

DrexelDragon · Dec 15, 2011

Yayyy I got it! I'm home and activating it now!!

Looking at the white RAZR while waiting for the Nexus. There is barely any white on the phone. The bezel is still black and the back is still black. The edge black and white

DroidWall.

Do it.

SplicedX · Dec 15, 2011

I'm sooooo ready for my nexus but my store doesn't open until ten!! Hopefully there won't be a line when I take an early break from work.

harveyklinger · Dec 15, 2011

Another 2 hours and 40 minutes until I pick mine up on the West Coast.

gnarlyeggs · Dec 15, 2011

OTA update after 5 mins of activation

cwazpitt3 · Dec 15, 2011

OTA Update in first 20 minutes

jmanderson10 · Dec 15, 2011

Thanks to everyone!

Quick questions for the battery gurus. What approach are you taking? Full charge before use? Drain and recharge?

I've been suffering with inaccurate battery starts on my OG and want to start out with a great battery for my great phone.

Titanium Backup? That was about the only reason I rooted my OG Droid, until I got into the ROM'ing game. It is also just plain fun to tinker, isn't it?

Root Explorer as a fuller, more complete file explorer?

Overclocking (as if the battery life won't be bad enough :/ )

Starbuckpga · Dec 15, 2011

If I buy a phone from LetsTalk, can I just port my number I got last week when I bought the Razr as a rental, then take back the Razr to my corp store?

Done Deal.

Btw, I have unlimited data, and dont have problems charging my phone throughout the day- so not REALLY my cup of tea..

Big line here in Anderson Indiana population ≈50k

the guy in the black truck has been sitting there since i got here. Another gnex buyer?

Theeulogy · Dec 15, 2011

I am posting from my Nexus!

Travisimo · Dec 15, 2011

Sitting on my butt on a comfy couch at a mall waiting for the corporate VZW store to open.... While dozens of mall walkers go by. Lol. No one else here for the Nexus that I can see, but that's ok. Using my iPad 2 via 4G Hotspot on my Bionic. Kinda lonely, but only 37 minutes to go!
