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

[BabyBlues]

Ah. I've been on the app most of the day, can't see as well.

Makes sense.

To be honest, it seems kind of silly to compliment each of her avatars. Can you think of a single one that wasn't outstanding?

Although I have to admit, I think my favorite avatar was of Princess Leia and Han Solo together after you "returned." What did she say? I think it was something like "It's all okay, now go get that Galaxy Nexus!"

It's going to suck when this thread locks and I have to go back to real life.

Thanks!

Real life? We have other threads we can all play in together.

Ok I just spent the last couple of hours playing with my new toy. Auto brightness needs to be turned off. Once that was turned off the screen really showed its beauty. I like the idea of folders makes my home screen much cleaner. Face unlock did not work when I put a baseball hat on after setting it without one. It did work when I put my wife's glasses on after I set it without glasses on. I noticed significant lag when applying live wallpaper, especially the microbe one. Smooth as silk with the default live wallpaper. Noticed some delay when quickly moving out of the app tray back to home screen. Also noticed that when typing messages online, like this one, the screen can jump around when trying to correct errors that are a few words or sentences back. Hopefully the OTA will fix these minor issues. Lastly, the screen and phone get rather warm/hot when using the phone for a long period, maybe the brightness being turned all the way up is contributing to the heat.

Anyone know if I can return an order from vzw.com to a corporate store and exchange for nexus tomorrow? And is there a list of corporate stores, or is there another way to determine whether or not a store is corporate vs. retail?

Yep, the one where I came back was my favorite one for sure!

Upon receiving 4 texts from my insiders at Verizon all saying, "IT'S OFFICIAL! WE LAUNCH TOMORROW!" and stopping by the corporate store with 3 employees telling me to come early because there WILL be a line, I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight. I am SO EXCITED.

 

[TheRoosevelt]

Can someone link me the original press release? I don't see it on Verizon's site. Only reposts on blogs like Phandroid and DL.

I can't believe I've managed to sit on my upgrade for almost a full year. I guess it just shows how good of a phone my Incredible, that I bought off-contract, has been to me.

So long HTC Incredible (you were NEVER a Droid in my eyes), you've been a good friend...

does that mean you can upgrade again on 12/28/2012?

I just wanted to say, your sig always through me off since my brain would snap into Hebrew mode for a second

haha I love it!

Just so I have it in before the lock:

Its been fun hanging out in this thread, so many great people! My first "Epic" thread too, Im glad I found this place.

Its going to be different with this thread locked, thats for sure, but that means a new chapter of Android ownership

Thanks all posters, guides and mods for a great ride and I hope PT 2 is just as great! I hope we ALL enjoy this phone! I hope all this up and down roller coaster was well worth it.

Oh, and thanks all for putting up with my "humor"

Thanks!

Great new commercial for the Galaxy Nexus. I really like where they are taking this marketing vs. the Droid stuff. More broadly appealing IMHO.

I tried to find this to embed it but I couldn't so here is the article.

Boy, is my family going to be glad to finally have me back.
Hope to continue to get to know everyone in the other threads in the Mighty Galaxy Nexus Forum.

You guys, I'm a little worried about being kicked out into mainstream society tomorrow... I've gotten too used to being "on the inside".

How will I be able to act like a normal person now?

AFAIK they haven't released the PR yet. But they did tweet about it and post it to their FB wall.

 

[Yadao]

No, as soon as I place my order using my upgrade it should say 12/15/2013.

Hmm, I was planning to show up at 8:30 for their 9:00 opening, but you think that'll be too late?!

Getting ready:

Just downloaded Samsung drivers, reminded myself how to run ADB (it's been awhile)...

Let's do this!

Happy Nexus Eve everyone!

I'd like your opinions on my situation. I will be purchasing two Galaxy Nexus's on my family plan. I have one $50 loyalty discount. I called my local verizon and told them "listen, the phones are each ten bucks off at costco and they give us a bag of accessories. I'm buying two 300 dollar phones with two two year contracts and two new data lines, what can you do for us" and the CSR said she could be flexible with the accessories.

How far can Verizon go with this freedom? I have no idea where to start my bargaining. Should I go in guns a blazing asking for two free car mounts? Even more? Should I just expect discounts? (which I do have - 25% off as per NJ state employee discount program)

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if the Samsung Vehicle Dock with 3-pin connection is fully compatible with the Verizon's LTE Nexus? I ask because Verizon's version of the vehicle dock does not have the 3-pin connector....

See my full post here:

This is interesting and relevant to my desires to purchase a car dock, seconding this question

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Grandmadroid]

$650 plus tax

They say I'm eligible for "discounted pricing".....but if I wait til 12/29 I can get a "loyalty discount" as well.....so???? Still $600+??

Sorry to be so needy this evening. I'm really quite done in...

 

[HanSolo]

Oh I don't want to say goodbye tomorrow!

Can't we just pretend that the release was never announced? Just for a few more months?

 

[AndroidFanKyle]

that coaster literally hurts.

I can confirm that statement... That's why I posted it.

 

[ajdroidx]

Oh, and it looks like Steven58 got his wish... it don't look like we killed each other

Oh, and behave yourself in line tomorrow
