***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

P3 finished his Gnex review. I enjoyed reading it, it's actually pretty fair and thorough.
He really likes it

Galaxy Nexus Review

Where was the camera review?

 

[BabyBlues]

Since the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a locked bootloader and ICS hopefully being released on the 17th, I don't think it's going to be a big problem since I'm sure there will be a ROM available that allows you to remove it.

Or once you make a nandroid you can always try using titanium to get rid of it.

Anyone expecting some sort of announcement or leak today? I'm not holding out hope for anything today but expect some BIG news tomorrow regardless or whether it's release the 17th or 21st.... either way we'll all have this phone with in the next week or so. I can't wait, my OG Droid froze up a couple times over the weekend and I had to pull the battery to get it to work. I even went in and uninstalled a bunch of apps to free up memory just so it'll make it another week or so.

I've got to say I'm very disappointed that the search bar on the home screen is not removable. I hate anything cluttering up my screen unless I want it there. On my phone, I don't even have a clock, and the notification bar is hidden unless I swipe a certain way.

That really blows.

Will it be able to be moved to a different screen?

Looks like Verizon "exclusive" isn't going to last very long at all.....

Samsung Galaxy Nexus officially coming to Virgin Mobile "early December" | MobileSyrup.com

Good news for those living in Canada.

Makes me want to go up into AMERICA'S attic and bring one down.

Thread is moving slow today huh? Guess we are all patiently waiting on some actual news!

 

[halon]

Check Google for galaxy nexus news in the past hour and every carrier out there seems to be announcing the Nexus. Except.....Verizon.

 

[Stigy]

I bid all my G'nexers good morrow!

Hope you all had an exciting weekend.

If the 17th is true, ~3 full days left until RELEASE DAY, OMG!

 

[Mooem]

Will it be able to be moved to a different screen?

I believe the search bar is on every home screen. And only because there's no dedicated search button anymore (and that's how it is in honeycomb). It looks like it'll be handled contextually now.

Personally, I hope they allow us to remove it and/or reinstate a search button on the home bar.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about, my DInc has been running fine the last couple weeks on Skyraider

Good Morning Gnexers!

Well, with 2 days and change to go (until SOMETHING hopefully happens), the excitement is really picking up in here! I love it!

Spoiler

I know it's an older topic but I just read through 6 pages of posts: speaking of naming things, yes we name our vehicles and my phone has a name. I named my Beloved OG Droid "Droidette" or "D" for short - long before I met Droidette here in the forum. Pure coincidence.

Naming my future Gnex was easy... she will be called Ginny (pronounced like Jenny). Since the navigation voice is female and my Speaktoit assistant is female, I stuck with a female name. So COME TO ME Ginny baby!

 

[Laxstar785]

my Dinc is running well too but i just want the nexus lol and 4G.

 

[Laxstar785]

I have been searching google news for anything related to releasing on Verizon but I haven't found anything either.....

 

[MSUgEEk]

I'll have to take a few hours of comp time to go get my Nexus on whatever morning it releases...this is why Verizon sucks over this whole secretive launch date crap. I need to notify my boss I will be taking that time off in advance.

Whaa?? Are we now thinking the 16th?

Sheesh. I skip 2 pages for once and I miss something. Can someone catch me up to speed?

Not 3 FULL days so everyone is rounding down.

Optimism is setting in.

I scream! You scream! We all scream for.....

 

[Deleted User]

I think we will start hearing more news/leaks today. Hopeful thinking!!

I'm thinking maybe he assumes there will be a pre-order period the day before the expected release of the 17th?

Thanks for the search tip (searching the past hours news).

Pretty amazing that the rest of the world is getting lots of announcements and here in the US nothing but silence from Verizon. Amazing.

That's a big round down.

I could see it being 2 days and some change if it was 11pm. This day has just begun!

 

[Laxstar785]

and we probably have a full day of torture to endure with no announcements from verizon

 

[statepenn03]

Where do you think we'll get the next Galaxy Nexus news (or leak) from? FCC, Verizon, Phandroid, Droid-Life, a "source" here, etc...

 

[aimetti]

doesnt virgin mobile canada use GSM?

Would work on att no?
