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

[IndecisiveElle]

That's more betterer. And the news of likely having my Nexus next week is going to make for a less restful weekend.

Same here - I'm hoping everything I have to do will keep me busy enough not to notice!

 

[Steven58]

I have to question it, because they did side by side low-light comparos of the GNex and iPhone 4S, and the GNex was WAY better. We had a decent discussion about it here 400 pages ago . So not sure, perhaps he had a defective one...

No

Two things:

1) This is like a water cooler.. not everything is on topic. In the OP, we have a direction from the forums adminstrator:

Go into this thread knowing how large it is. Know that it is not all completely on topic. The OP, Steven58, will make a best effort attempt at keeping THIS top post as up to date as possible on current news on the device. You are welcome to post here or create a new thread with information you have. The new thread will be kept on topic. This thread is sort of a lounge-news type thing and off-topic talk is acceptable so long as THIS POST contains all the important information on the thread.
-Phases

2) Still, we can be nice to each other and be sensitive to each other and limit pages and pages of far off topic topic.

Message to members: If you feel if stuff is too far off topic or a post is rude, please feel free to hit that report button.

You know I sign off each night saying, "try not to kill each other!" What I mean by that is don't be rude to each other. Don't bait each other. The response above can be construed as rude, even though it has a . I'm sure it wasn't meant that way.

Play nicely everyone!!!!!

um why would you be mad. its not like they tricked you into buying a razr. as far as im concerned thats just one more galaxy nexus for someone smarter

I wouldn't call people stupid just because they don't know about the Galaxy Nexus. Sure, there's more left for me, but I think it's really cool that the Nexus has gone mainstream enough that the regular public are asking about it, and I find it infuriating that Verizon is crushing this under their grubby, Razr-loving thumbs.

FCC Approval 11/15!

Nexus in inventory! Link

New Leak!! We're getting this the week of 11/21 (next week!!!) Link
...

Uh, Steven, am I missing something? Did you just copy the OP into a post for a reason I cannot fathom?

/Roosevelt takes off top hat and scratches head quizzically

Coincidentally, the Verizon retailer where I live is also right next to a Chipotle (same block of shopping center). Highland Park, IL? Or is Chipotle + Verizon a more common combination than I thought

I have a Verizon store right next to my Chipotle too! But I live in Toledo, OH

This post took me a while so I'm probably a couple pages behind by now

No to IL. I think it's almost impossible not to have these places in close proximity, along with Starbucks and Walgreens!

Ditto.

Off topic warning:

Spoiler

Cowboys and Redskins...that's approximately 3.5 hours I won't even TOUCH my phone, even if I had a brand new GNex!

 

[cclancy45]

It still makes a lot of sense for them to release it on the 28th to prevent htc rezound "launch day purchase" returns

you should check out Verizon's holiday Exchange schedule. Anything purchased after 11/15 can be returned / exchange through 1/9/2012... so I doubt they are delaying to extend beyond first day Rezound sales return windows.

I've never seen anything like this thread in my life. I hate it and love it and walk away but am drawn back like a moth to a flame. Sorta like Woodstock on the Internets. Hell I hope the damn phone never gets here because this thread will then end.

Don't worry, we're like the web's version of locusts. We came out for the Dinc, then hibernated, now we're out 20 months later (the early upgrade cycle) for the GNex, and we'll be back in another 20 months for the first sex-core (as in 6, you sickos), holographic wunder-phone, then 20 months after that when we all just get phone chips implanted behind our ears with vision capacitors inside our eyelids. And Steven will be the CEO of his own wireless company. And Han will be a big-time anti-trust attorney who will ensure that any phone will be available on any carrier with unlimited data and minutes and no contracts or ETFs, and release dates will be part of FCC filings.

So we are still on for week of the 21st I see. That is great!! I am off work starting today and going through the 29th of November so if it happens then I have some serious play time

I'm sorry.. I'm at work and am always doing two things at once. I screwed up... However, some folks are seeing it for the first time, so it's ok.

Popped in to my local VZW store today (before checking in here).

I proceeded to start playing around with the RAZR and Rezound. The Rezound is a really nice phone. It took a lot of will power to not buy it right there. Super responsive, great screen. Not a fan of Moto Blur on the RAZR.

While I was playing, one of the reps was helping a couple pick out a phone. The guy asked about the GNex. He managed to talk the couple into buying the RAZR.

This pretty much sums up my visit. Liked the Rezound but not the RAZR and the associate was pushing the RAZR to guy that asked about the "Nexus Prime." I think e ended up buying it. Poor kid.

 

[scottg96]

No to IL. I think it's almost impossible not to have these places in close proximity, along with Starbucks and Walgreens!

LOL all of these stores are all in the same shopping center! As well as a Jamba Juice!

+ 1 Billion. That made me laugh and nod in wonder.

I wondered if that's why you did it. Maybe a good breaking point for the next 600 or so pages to build on??!!!

I've asked both an in store rep, and chatted with a CSR on verizonwireless.com . This is only for non activated phones. (I.E. Presents). You still only have 14 days from activation

sex-core
I'm no sicko, a sex-core phone would be pretty cool (for more reasons than one)

that theory is long gone. anybody can return ALL phones way into January. So the "Saving for another phones return date expiration" is all over with.

We don't have to worry about that at all.

You're sounding like the kinda cat who would overclock it the minute you got home

We don't have to worry about that at all.

Unless of course we have misunderstood exactly how the policy works.

Go chat with a CSR and ask them specifically this.

"If I activate a rezound today, can I switch to a Galaxy Nexus on 12/17."

I've asked this question twice now, and both times they said no, it's only 14 days from activation.

You people really shouldn't be doing that with your phones, I think it voids the warranty

 

[darejer]

Checked out another store today. No accessories or posters. Training on ICS, but not GN. They had no idea, but when pressed said BF or later. "very soon, definitely before Christmas"

 

[scottg96]

Thanks for the clarification, I'm glad I didn't get a temporary RAZR or Rezound without knowing this! I was under the impression they extended the 14 day return policy on even activated phones but I guess not.

Let's keep this clean, folks. It's a family-oriented forum

 

[wedgemoose]

You guys getting a little too jacked over a phone. If you spend all day on forums waiting for the phone, what the hell are you going to do when it comes out. I'm guessing you already have android phones...sooooo, are you going to play with the same apps on a better (still tiny) screen. I feel like you're trying to fill a hole in your lives that a phone can't help with...

Really???? then why are you here (refreshing)???


sorry but this isn't "just a phone". Once we get it we can go back to our normal lives. but right now i am so sick of the phone i have that i can't wait any longer!!!!!!!

and nothing is the same. it will be a total new experience

I would still go by what it says on the return policy page. IMO the two people you talked with are the ones that got it wrong.

I guess you can call it a happy mistake?

 

[IgnatiusXIX]

Definitely. Using your Google phone to stream Google Music will use data.

I stream music from my Gmusic account all day everyday
Literally. If you knew some of the yahoos I work with at one of my jobs, you'd understand. I've never gone over 5gb of data. I'm a pretty heavy user.
