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

[Stigy]

I'm pretty sure I saw Stigy.

Which store did you go to?

I took the Lightrail to and from Pavonia Newport for the mall. Got there at 7:45 and my guy was waiting there for me.

I wanna beam with someone.

Got it!!!!
2 of us in line at Radio Shack, and guess what they only had 2!
Took forever since they had to switch lines with my Bionic (so glad to dump it ).
Thanks again to everyone for stealing time away from my wife
I'll see you all in the forums! Congrats to all!

Edit: And I already have a system update, I love this thing!

 

[solo88]

Us westcoasters are still waiting!

 

[browncurry]

Finally got my Nexus!! They wouldn't let me combine my loyalty discount and my livingsocial deal though...

 

[fmadrigal]

Just ordered mine over the phone! For $150 savings, I can wait a few more days. I got Verizon to give me my NE2 discount 14 days earlier and the $100 3g to 4g discount! I'm in California btw.

FYI, the system wouldn't allow the specific discounts to be applied to the order. The CSR said she would just over ride the system and give me a credit for $170 (extra $20 is the early upgrade fee that they waived).

See you guys over on the development side!

How did you get them to do that?? I live n So Cal and have the OG Droid...

 

[bschellva]

I got mine!!

Thanks for the fun, everyone! See you around the forum!

 

[Mooem]

I wanna beam with someone.

...nevermind.

 

[CinLou]

Again, I would like to say THANK YOU to every one of you. Your personalities, your sense of humor (or is that senses of humor??) , your constant source of encouragement, your information....quite frankly, I could go on and on....were OUTSTANDINGand got me through some really sad days I've been having lately...you guys ARE THE BEST! I will see you all at the Watering Hole!

Anyone tried the extended battery with the standard TPU case?

Not using a case, but will report the ext battery DOES NOT work with the oem reg battery back cover. Some might be able to force it to work, but I don't see the reason why as the ext battery cover fits pervfection.

 

[RazorSharp]

Mine is activated. I drove back to work and just finished the update. It did update all of my contacts and downloaded the apps. Just starting to play around with it. Looks beautiful. Coming from OG droid, this is bigger but it's lighter but still seems solid. Doesn't feel too light but not a brick either. I will have to test the camera but so far so good.

I'm coming from an OG Droid as well, can't believe how light and thin the Nexus is!

 

[breadnatty08]

finally got the mythical unicorn!! i showed up about 8:50 at the Verizon store in DC on L street and there were like 30 people already in line!!!

they had enough for everyone who showed up early though and it took about an hour of waiting!

Wow! Wish I was there but didn't feel like making the trek downtown. Hope everyone is lucky

 

[AntimonyER]

I did forget to mention that I got it by adding a line. I wasn't able to get a loyalty discount, but they did waive my activation fee, so that is almost as good. Also got the extended battery, was 50% off.

 

[Stigy]

Test camera picture -- honestly looks really good to me. Wish it wasn't so gloomy out so I can grab more. I'll grab some of the city during lunch.

 

[COHusker]

Waiting in my car outside Verizon. Only one person in line and he showed up after me. Staying warrrrm for 25 more minutes!

 

[Steven58]

Me and Galpdawg at the Verizon Store, waiting on line.


Well, I am a proud owner of a new Galaxy Nexus! I have an extended battery! I have the el-cheapo Verizon screen cover (gonna get Steinheil) and the shiny black silicon cover. I also bought the battery charger.

The did not give me the 100 dollar discount at the store, but as the CSR guy told me two days ago, "just charge it to your account and we'll do it over the phone." They did.

Google's downloading my apps now, and is trying to load them onto my homescreen! :O Eh, gotta delete that.

Ttyl. Finishing up my g'bye post.

 

[This_Is_Kyle]

Anyone in the NJ area get the 3g->4g promotion to work? I can't even get any CSR's to put a note on my account. I've called 3 times. The 2nd time (6am this morning) the rep said she would call my local stores and get back to me letting me know if they would use it. Haven't heard back yet.

I'm in Boston (close enough?) and I couldn't get the promo. I'm gonna see what I can do when I actually go to the store and talk to someone in person.

 

[DCRussian]

My last post in this thread, got mine this morning and loving it! It's been great being here with you all and thanks for the laughs

 

[Laxstar785]

having to wait until after work to get this just might kill me today.....I do have one set aside for me though so I am getting it!

 

[GhostInTheDark]

This phone is freaking incredible!! I got to VZW by my job at 7:45, was the 2nd person in the store and the first one out with the phone! (I didn't let them activate it) I'm loving it so far! Happy Nexmas everyone!

 

[Mooem]

For anyone who ordered online and are upgrading from a current LTE device, I asked @VZWSupport about whether or not we would be getting a new micro SIM.

@Mooem7 Great question! The Nexus will ship with a new micro SIM for use. If you have any addition questions, I'm here to help. ^AH

 

[Evolution4G63T]

Proud owner of the Galaxy Nexus. Had to wait in a small line, as they ran out of stock at 8:30ish. Fortunately they re-upped not too long after. But I do expect these to sell out like hotcakes. Enjoy everyone!

 

[GeauxSaints]

I must admit that I didn't believe it last night when I read that today would be the day. I am now the proud owner of a SGN!! I didn't give my little podunk town enough credit because I was there at 9:05 and there were already two people waiting to buy one. I figured I would be the only one and that the salesman wouldn't have a clue it was being sold. I was wrong. The salesman were so excited about it. It's sad, though, because there was no advertising at all in the store.

I've only posted a couple of times but I have been lurking for months. Now what will I do every night? EVERY night I caught up on what seemed like 10 thousand posts. I have enjoyed reading everything, on topic and off. My husband hasn't understood why I would be up late at night reading posts from a bunch of strangers.

Thank you all (I won't attempt to name everyone)! I've enjoyed being here. Now, I'm off to play and to buy a case, which means I'll be scouring the other threads for advice. For you ones who haven't gotten yours yet, it was so worth the wait!

 

[efdisaster]

This is it. Checking in from floor model nexus while i wait for my turn to upgrade.

 

[breadnatty08]

Any other DC Nexers want to meet up at ChurchKey to do some beaming this weekend?

 

[EarlyMon]

Well - we got rid of the double posts and we have a blank post problem as many are finding.

Admin is aware and we'll try to straighten that out asap.

Failing that, I'll contact the President of the Navy if I have to!

Face it - the Nexus is just so powerful, it broke the internet.
