When is it coming out for Tmobile?
Click to expand...

I think if it is coming out for T-mobile anytime soon, we'll know something or at least get a hint tomorrow since Tmo is at Google's music event tomorrow...I mean I am hoping we all find something out then...If you think about it, the one thing that the GN hasn't had is any kind of US announcement or event...I know it's probably a pipe dream, but one can only hope.....;););)

No problem! I would have been very sceptical too! Let me know if there is anything you want me to video / blog / screen capture etc. I am not one of the most technical of the Mob!lers but there's 6 of us getting the device early and I can ask around to get answers if I dont have them!

I would personally love a web browser comparison between the nexus and gsII if you have one. out of all the gnex videos there are still very few that show off the hardware accelerated browser.

It's called Christmas. Not everything is a conspiracy against the SGN, folks.

lol Wrong conspiracy. I wasn't thinking VZW had anything against the Nexus device, rather, baiting people into buying phones they don't want. If I spent a couple of weeks with a satisfactory device (Rezound, RAZR) and went through the effort to learn the device and get comfortable with it, I might just let it ride rather than return it and get the device I really wanted.

Is extending the return policy a VZW "holiday tradition" so to speak?

I tell you the truth, when the csr told me he was going into the back to look for the demo gnex, I thought I hit paydirt and I was going to have a heart attack. I'm going back to the store to ask him if he has the demo in yet. He'll show me. He's an amazing. He sits there and listens to me talk about the different android phone, the pluses and minuses, the strengths and weaknesses. Great guy.

Are you sure he isnt just scared of the light saber?

I know most of the people in here are on Verizon, but I think it's ok for someone to ask something about another carrier. No need to flame the guy, lol, or do we need to change the name of the thread too "Verizon" launch thread.

I don't think he really meant to come of mean I think he was probably trying to say it kiddingly but it just may not read that way to some. He is unfortunately right though. If another carrier does get it we probably wont know till after the Verizon version is released.

I wasn't flaming the guy, I was speaking the truth. Since Verizon is getting it first and we don't know when that will be than how do you expect anyone to answer the question.
 
The more I think about it, the more I think the 21st is the date. We've had all the clues, w/o 21st leak, 10 days of google ends on the 21st....It seems to be lining up.

Edit: But so does the 17th :p, this would be the first time a nexus phone has launched outside of the US first (correct?), Google Music Event on the 16th, Has to be the 17th right?!?



This phone is driving me nuckin futz:confused:

Yeah 21st web only methinks. Which is bugging me because I want to get a Rezound if it won't be out until the 21st but buying the phone in a store would make it hard to exchange for a web only phone.

Aggggggggh. I'm just going to play Skyrim. Goodnight everyone.
 
Just left a VZW store. Manager told me that all of the stores received an email today from corporate saying that the GN would not be launching on the 18th. Interestingly, they never received anything saying that it ever was supposed to be coming on the 18th in the first place. Basically the email was a one liner that didn't give any real reason or new date to expect. For whatever its worth...

...been sayin'.

Not that I know diddly squat...and I still hope I'm wrong (to the better side of the 21st, that is).

I figured you were kidding, as you noticed I threw a "lol" in there too, I was just making the point that there are 2 or 3 of us non verizon people out there...and unfortunately, I agree with what your saying...that's why I've been rooting for you guys to find something out, because I'm hoping that means we will find something out soon there after. Just sticking up for my fellow Tmo guy out there...like I said, there aren't many of us. :D
 
I've got 2 theories for November.

Theory A:

Web-orders open the 17th, phone is in stores by the 21st.

Theory B (more likely in my opinion):

Web-orders open the 21st, phone is in stores the 28th.

If the 18th comes and goes with no word, I'm walking out of Verizon on the 19th with a Rezound, no ifs, ands, or buts. I can't keep waiting and risking this phone that doesn't belong to me.

Hey guys. I am getting my pre-release Galaxy Nexus from Samsung tomorrow. I am a Samsung Mob!ler so get their devices to review and share information on. I have started a new thread with the same name as this reply. Please feel free to ask me any questions or ask for any content on this thread. If I am being a bit slow off the mark in responding you can give me a virtual nudge by tweeting me @andrewmcsweeney

Hmmm.. a pre-release Galaxy Nexus you say. Just exactly where do you live and what route do you take to work. :)
 
Many of you saw my post the other day about how I called a verizon store and asked when the nexus is coming out, and the guy said "either end of this week or early next week." Well, I just called another store just now and they almost said the same thing word for word. They said they expect it next week if not the end of this week.

Man, they gotta know something new by now. Two different stores have said the same thing, when they were clueless in the past.
 
To whoever said that the stores all got an email saying it was coming out the 18th:

I called 2 of my local stores here in Houston and both stores had no information. One of the representatives did promise to call me as soon as she knew anything, though.
