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

[Trent Reznor]

You can buy it Canada and the UK....

Yes... but this is on the United States page

 

[cggorman]

Yup dogfish head. Its a very limited release - twice a year if I remember correctly. Its worth every penny you'll pay for it but you have to like IPAs to enjoy it.

Stone Ruination is always in the fridge!

If you're around NC again, you should give Lone Rider a try. Their Shotgun Betty is really good if you're into hefeweizens. Red Oak Amber has also become a regular beer for me. I've passed their brewery a couple times on the way to Charlotte.

Spoiler

Red Oak was my other choice last night when I went with the Sweetwater 420. I was debating between the two, and if I end up back here I'll check out Red Oak. I wouldn't mind coming back down to Raleigh, it's a pretty awesome area - we went down to Carrboro for dinner tonight, cool little town.

I do like hefeweizens (Circus Boy and UFO come to mind immediately), but more of a summer thing for me. What I really need to do is get close to the owner of a liquor store by me and have him order me beers suggested from all over the country.

Whaa? Can you explain a little? This is very intriguing, I must say.

I love their native e-book reader.

e-book reader? Not sure about that? I am talking about the Samsung SCH-I815 that will be VZW's LTE 7.7" Super AMOLED+ Galaxy Tab. You favorite tweeter P3 had it and claimed in a reply tweet to me that it won't have voice stock from VZW, but seemed to hinting to it possibly being hackable to add voice capability since the foreign versions are sold as phone/tablet replacements kinda like the Note, but even larger. I like the size as it's small enough for a go everywhere tablet and if it did voice you could ditch a normal smartphone all together.

Really???

No. You don't have to. You can let people and companies walk all over you and cause you to waste your time and money. Or you can stand up for yourself and maybe they won't treat the next person as bad as they tried to treat you. Its an option.

Antonio Brown.. you saved my night! Thank you, young man. Thank you.

 

[Sketchr]

Would not surprise me one bit if VZ stores were sent an email tomorrow morning, or even late tonight, giving them the green light to let em fly. Delusional, maybe a little bit , not far fetched imo though.

Delusional is the only this we have left to look forward to in this release right now. And I'm fine with that...

 

[ajdroidx]

As a thank you to the AF community and a bit of a early christmas gift, look who just went gold

<--------------

Thanks to all the admins, mods and posters who make this a great place to hang out! First online place I really felt like paying a membership for

 

[cggorman]

OMG, a StarTacII(?)

Yessir. Still works, too! Wonder if I can run ICS on it?

 

[tluley51]

Internet issues...Update. Forgot to add...

Spoiler

Another thing I left out...To test to see if it was my wireless card, I tethered my Droid X wirelessly to my computer for a whole day, never dropped internet once...So I think that may put the DNS issue to rest, right?

 

[TheRoosevelt]

I can confirm that the Buy Now button shows up for me. It does the same thing as the old Register button did (i.e. ask me for me email address), but it's something.

Well, it's not actually something, but we're desperate

[Premium1]

It's google.com/nexus

He has the wrong link. I do believe that is a change though. It still brings you to a register screen but the bullets DO say "Buy Now" instead of "Register"

Wonder if that is another slip up that was supposed to be going live tomorrow for the 9th launch? How funny would it be if you could buy it from there tomorrow lol

 

[Kenahng]

I just found something on the main website of the Galaxy Nexus!!!!

On the main screen, bullets 2-4 all say "Buy Now" instead of Register! Not sure what this means, but they could be close to release.

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/index

Here is a screenshot!

Quit Trolling. It only says that if you're on the canada site. not if you're on the USA site...
USA site still says "Register now"
^^Nevermind. I apologize, you're correct.

No, it's something. It just doesn't mean anything.

Keep trying.

Click on the circle nav buttons

He isn't trolling. Check the bullets to the right.

 

[atrayn22]

Holy hell, it does! Not the link he posted, but go to Galaxy Nexus and check it out on the bullet points, next to the pics!

It still brings the Register down from the top, it it's different!

I guess it's the little things...

 

[Bernard337]

Don't be lazy. Just go to the website like everyone else.

 

[thecandidate]

He is not trolling. The other bullets other than the first say buy now but don't do anything.

 

[devildriver6]

Quit Trolling. It only says that if you're on the canada site. not if you're on the USA site...
USA site still says &quot;Register now&quot;

Wrong. I just double checked by specifically going to the United States version, and it does indeed say Buy Now.

 

[BabyBlues]

I'm going to bed. You guys need to slow down with the rapid fire posts so I can have a chance to catch up tomorrow...

don't worry too much, morning catch up is usually much easier. Good night!

Delusional is the only this we have left to look forward to in this release right now. And I'm finr with that...

You could also try using a packet sniffer like Wireshark to see where you are dropping packets. I would also check the rules on your Firewall.

Yup, tired and reading too fast.....I read pocket sniffer

 

[rafier]

Hmm the second picture show a date of November 11. Is that 2011 or 2012 VZW?

 

[MacroPlanet]

Fixed the link, but it looks like most of you found what I was talking about anyways. Wonder what 12:00 brings?

 

[TheRoosevelt]

Quit Trolling. It only says that if you're on the canada site. not if you're on the USA site...
USA site still says "Register now"

There is no Canada site... only US and UK...
Try refreshing and going to the 2nd and 4th bullet points. It definitely says "Buy Now".

But like woodraskam said, it's not like it means anything
