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

Is your avatar the same as your FB profile pic? I'm pretty sure you "liked" one of my posts lol

I have to agree with this, The Verge would NOT post something they're not 100% certain on I think. And as Antimony said a few posts ago, every test device thus far has had 32 GB.

I must be missing something. Every device I've seen in videos so far were not LTE phones, and I haven't seen any actual video of them showing the Storage section showing 32GB. Again, I'd LOVE to be wrong, but typed up specs on review sites mean little to me as proof of anything.

Out of curiosity, if/when this thing DOES go on sale next week (before Black Friday), do you think Verizon will slash the price on Black Friday/Cyber Monday? They discounted the RAZR by a TON ($299 down to $111.11 for the special occasion)... it's not entirely out of the question.
And if they do slash the price after initial launch, will us SUPER early adopters be reimbursed the difference? (I would hope so!)

Verizon didn't discount it, Amazon did, but only for new customers - which I still think was a major rip. I would have gladly burned an upgrade at that price.

And, HELL NO, they will not reimburse you the difference. That's part of the excitement of living on the bleeding edge.

BF is exactly why it won't be released by then. BF is for bargains. The GN is not a bargain. You may see some nice RAZR discounts, though. This week will be about unloading RAZRs

OTOH, they could use their "Deals" to get people in the door on BF, then, show them these 3 new cutting edge devices that are better than the $0.99 phone that they advertised.

Of course, that will help them with the RAZR/Rezound regardless, but, it's a reason to do BF deals. Usually, the "great" deals are selling things just barely over cost, they make $$ by having more people in the store and selling the stuff that isn't discounted like crazy.

Yes, it's GSM, but, obviously 32gb Galaxy's are not unicorns

Have yall read vzw facebook lately? lol People want this phone, BAD

I post on there once a day. Maybe twice.

Pointless, I know.

 

[darejer]

BF USED to be for bargains. Now it is for faking people into believing they are bargains and making up for soft sales the rest of the year.

Tomato / tomatoe... Whether perceived or real, the GN is not the point of BF

Where did this 16 gig only crap come from? Even the official site now lists 16 and 32 options. Who is stirring the pot? I need to break their stick!

wow, i'm more worked up over this than the release date change

Wrong. The nexus page was changed and now only shows the 16gb option

 

[Les NexMan]

Les! Will you be dropping free turkeys from any helicopters next week?

Only if I can phone in the report on my Nexus!

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing...

Although I still think there's some technical issues behind it, training, etc.

Ugh, that's pretty infuriating. I shouldn't have to be punished for being one of the first people to buy their phone!

 

[JMKosmo]

This is EXACTLY the same crap they pulled for the Droid Incredible.....

Thanks for the link. Although now that the UK specs show 16/32 and US only shows 16GB, it doesn't help the case. There could now be unicorns in UK only.

I thought training already began and promo materials/accessories have already shown up? They're basically set to launch at this point... at least that's what I'm making of the situation.

Why? at what point do you cut if off? the first week, 2, month...?

Fat chance getting that to happen.

Is anyone else refreshing this thread every 5 seconds, leaving just enough time to read the latest post? It's impossible for me to keep up with it if I don't lol

 

[scottg96]

Random slow-down of posts? Hm...

 

[sgrinavi]

You're not being punished, it's the price we pay for getting to play with the phone before anyone else. Wait 3/4 months and get it for $150 on Amazon

It was really bad earlier today. I would look. Go away for an half hour. Come back and 2 or 3 more pages were added.

It was almost impossible to keep up. I know I couldn't LOL

Right now it is pretty slow.

If anyone is willing to buy hardware from a company that let a HUGE typo like that sit on a marketing page they put up, for that long.....

and then....spread the mistake to the corners of the earth in press releases....

well, then.....

(in the interest of not being whacked upside th head by a mod)

they are silly poopy heads.

You calling me a silly poopy head?
