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

[Highwayman]

Yup. Me too! Welp, I went down to the Verizon wireless store in the hopes of seeing one of these babies. My customer service representative was not there today. Bruce is his name. Bruce was not there today. So my trip down to the store? A total waste, epic failure.

I have no news. I have no phone. I have no more information. Frustrating. In fact this guy didn't know very much about smart phones I had to help the customer there myself.

Must I do everything?


Anyway I'm truly disappointed. I was hoping to walk out of the store at least Pre-purchasing the phone. I asked the CSR can at least buy the phone now? He said no you can't do that.

I really thought today was the day for me. Oh well.

You could always call ahead, make sure Bruce is there, then go over again and possibly order it!

Just trying to help!

I just ordered this to keep me occupied this weekend. I promise to post a photo of myself wearing it taken with the Galaxy Nexus... hopefully next week!

HAHA, that thing is amazing. Look at the user submitted pictures for a good laugh.

 

[Highwayman]

Yes.

I am scared of what I'll come back to when I have to leave work for my daughter's parent-teacher conference this afternoon.

You'll be screwed!!!

Just Kidding....

Nothing has really changed.

Thanks. So other than the phones4u release in the UK and others getting it next week, we have no other info about a VZW/US release. Lovely.

Not too happy about some VZW bloatware being on there. Even as a Nexus Device, Verizon Still Manages to Sneak in Two Bloatware Apps on the Galaxy Nexus

35000 seems possible today. That's insane.

 

[jkc120]

Darn, the phone will be nearly unusable now.........really.

Just root it and remove the apps.

I don't see that happening today.

 

[iowabowtech]

Ja wohl.

herr kommandant. I just can't help but think of it.

Also HTC phones are famous for the signal bar to be off. the Dinc had that. I would have only one bar showing but it really had 3 to 4. But either way HTC has good radios. been using them for the past 4 years and NEVER had a problem with reception. so yes, he might have a lemon

Open Signal Maps, free in the Market, is your one true indicator of 3G performance with any phone.

Just root it and remove the apps.

I detect a dash of sarcasm in his post.

Its the principle of it all. At least other carriers in the past don't add their bloatware onto the phone.

Mobilesyrup posted the first review of the final build of the UK Galaxy Nexus that I've seen.

Galaxy Nexus Review (Part 1) - YouTube

What happened to 1850mAh battery? This guy said it comes with 1750mAh.

EDIT: Could it be because this is a UK device and not the US version?

Don't be so sad, there is still a lot of things pointing towards a release next week (monday, tuesday, or wednesday). A lot more things than the straws we were holding onto for the 17th and previous days.

 

[Steven58]

I even thought of buying the razor or the Rezound while I was at the store. But then I realized today my refurbished droid x is working so well I don't have to worry about it.

Steven ends his rant here.

 

[vandyman]

I see a couple of people talking about Verzion uses the NFL to launch their ads. The NFL was the first place I seen their ads and they have been doing this the last few years. So who knows, There is a game tonight or maybe Sunday on Fox we will see something.

Google and Samsung ads will be Internet only until it goes to all the carriers.

 

[JArthur]

Sorry Steven you and your source have given us so much information so far we now have elected you to do everything. If the stores and web do not have it here real soon we are sending you to the MAN and you are to force them to release it.

Sorry about that I sincerely hope you have big shoulders to carry all this weight.

Yup. UK versions come with 1750mAh.

that's the Euro version. Verizon LTE has a 1850 mAh battery.

 

[MMcCraryNJ]

Well, the tech sites are all making their rounds on the news that it comes with two Verizon apps. And of course everyone is up in arms.

I wouldn't really classify a program that lets you check minutes/messages/data usage as "bloatware". Or even an app that lets you back up contacts. Of course you can do that with Google as well, but it is useful.

The VCast stuff is bloat. Blockbuster is bloat. CityID is bloat.

Other than those two Verizon apps, which I'm positive you can at least hide or even totally remove, and the battery cover, which might be replaceable with the HSPA cover if it REALLY bothers you that much, this phone is totally unbranded. Are we really complaining about the little things now?

GSM = 1750mAh
LTE = 1850mAh

UK version has smaller battery because no 4G. That's why US version is slightly thicker.

Sigh. Apparently Bruce is not going to be at work until Saturday afternoon.
