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 it doesn't come with Google Wallet initially, I'm sure there will be a way to get it on there (whether through the market or ported from XDA in the chance Verizon some how blocks it). The phone already has NFC on there, so it should be relatively easy.

I know there's a bunch of other benefits pure Google updates from Google....easily rootable so for those reasons I definitely still want it, I probably won't be able to resist getting it right away for those reasons but still..... a little disappointed.

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.

What is the latest rumor?

I went to the bar last night so I missed the excitement :(

Looks like its going to release next week......possibly monday

edit: per stevens source and I believe Han confirmed that as well but I didn't read that post personally so I can't 100% confirm that.
 
Good Morning Gnexers! :)

And a good morning it is! With Nexus apparently coming out NEXT WEEK, we hope to have nothing but good vibes today.

Now, about that vertical desk dock... :rolleyes:

anyone know of a legit place to preorder or order an unlocked GSM from uk to import to usa?

doesnt seem to be anyone doing that yet , so probably have to wait.

The supply in the UK at present is carrier only. I've been trying to get hold of a SIM free model all day without any luck. It'll be minimum 1 week until anyone has the SIM free in stock.

Your best bet would be clove.co.uk if you're willing to wait, fairly sure they ship internationally.
 
Any word of supply shortages in the UK? I'm still leaning on waiting a few days to a week to purchase through Amazon. Amazon already has the rezound for $229 with no tax and the razr at $199. I'm think the nexus will follow suit, especially with Black Friday and Cyber Monday right around the corner.

I would hate to say this BUT if the nexus doesn't come with google wallet I am not sure I will get it.....

I am positive it will have some sort of NFC payment app, if not pre-installed, then available on the market. Isis is actually not that bad if you read about it. I do agree we should be able to choose which app we use, just like we get to choose which method of payment at the register.
 
Well, whether we get the phone on the 21st or not, at least our "delayed" launch date is within 2 weeks away. I think that is a first!

I'm late to the game, we have new release date info?

Yep! last night Hans (through his sister) and Steven via The Source said that we should have a release the week of November 21st! It could've been delayed b/c they found some bugs recently, but all that has been worked out. As long as there are no more issues with the phone... 11/21.

Now whether that's pre-orders..or what not..who knows.
 
Does anyone else check Verizon's website every hour, on the hour, to see if it's been updated? I'm not normally OCD, but this phone is making me that way! :p
 
I had a horrible nightmare last night! I started off great... I had found a Best Buy with Gnex early...than I got home and it turned into a bionic! seriously, this is a real nightmare I had... I think this forum and phone has taken over a significant portion of my brain! ;)
 
Good morning all! Excellent news from last night. Jeepers, I go to bed and all hell breaks loose. Glad for some good news! As long as it's not Black Friday, I'm more than cool with next week. I have the week off and can be at Verizon at any time (though I will preorder and pay for next day shipping if possible).

I love the t-shirt idea!

Thanks to all the leakers, sources and reporters! Thanks to the mods for putting up with our moody crap with minimal banning!

is it going to rotate the phone into landscape? as in, the widgets like the clock will be facing the right way... and if the button is buried, how do you wake it up? with the volume button?
 
I think I'll start badgering the VZW CSR's later today about moving up my "upgrade date". Might take a couple tries to get a "nice" one...

I figure 38 days will be enough that'll put it at Sunday (20th) unless there's a surprise I don't see it showing up before then.
