Just went there and changed to UK for fun and saw a big button that said "BUY NOW" I nearly freaked until I realized the options were for UK carriers... derrr

I found the link about google wallet that i posted before if anyone wants to read it :
Will the Galaxy Nexus Have Google Wallet?
this sucks I hope google wallet comes on it I don't want to be forced to use something verizon supports such as Isis ( which I have never even heard of)

This video (obviously a Verizon device), doesn't have Google Wallet on it.

One thing I was thinking about yesterday was NFC capabilities. I haven't read up a ton about it aside from an article here or there on Engadget, but I wonder how much longer it'll be until transit systems adopt them for use. In DC we use a SmarTrip card for turnstiles and buses. I'd love to just use my phone (and hopefully there'd be an app to auto load from a cc). Maybe I'll shoot WMATA an email to see if there's any plan in the next couple years.
Edit: Wow, just found this .pdf discussing it in DEPTH.

lol, thank you. Nothing like a well timed Monty Python reference to get a good laugh in the morning.

Good luck in court. Go and do some prosecutin'
So I'm really happy that Google has officially confirmed the 1850mah battery.
Really happy. P3Droid was getting solid battery life, so we should expect slightly more solid battery life
Oh, also, I'm super glad Google confirmed both 16GB and 32GB for the US version!
As am I, but probably not the same reason as everyone else. I think 16GB is plenty fine for me. With Google Music in full swing, and cloud storage such a good option now, I would rather spend less on the smaller storage capacity. (I'm assuming it will be a $199 or $249 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB). After JUST buying a new car, I'd settle for a little less storage, and a little more cash!

Also (sorry to double post) I am sure they made this video before the battery was upgraded AND the Nexus Tech Specs page says 1,850mAh but the battery in the video below is 1,750mAh based on the V and W.

Interesting article (if you could call it that) on Engadget: First happy Galaxy Nexus customer isn't so happy, wants to exchange it -- Engadget
It's not going to sway me in any way though... I know what I will be getting with the SGN and I WILL have my Nexus on launch day!!!

I'm sure you'll be able to install it. No way google would let verizon get away with blocking it.

Yea thats what I am thinking I just hate having the uncertainty....i am sure I will still get it after all this hype and build up. But I would be hugely disappointed if for some reason i couldn't install that.

Surprised phandroid isn't taking advantage of its own forum and posting the latest rumor...
And Steven, you (and others) really have done a nice job here, I remember how nasty that incredible thread got, how often it was closed down etc.... Not easy to do. This board is amongst the friendliest I've seen.... Really cool.

It's early. I bet they have something up by 8-9AM.

Don't know if anyone else noticed but the LTE version will be 9.47mm thick or thin. Not too shabby!

a huge reason I waited on this phone was because it had NFC i would be really disappointed if it didn't come with google wallet.....I will probably still get it but I might wait a bit for the price to drop not sure yet.

If they did that every time a rumor came out, the main page would be over run with them, not to mention they would start losing credibility with rumor after rumor coming up empty

That the Galaxy Nexus will get released next week (week of Nov 21st).

I really hope that the Galaxy Nexus is a commercial succes, so that the Nexus line can be come a direct competitor to Apple. I admire Apple's attention to detail and quality and regular software updates and hope that this phone is the beginning of the same for Google.
