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

[IgnatiusXIX]

I see a little brown spot on your nose there..

Classy

To put it simply: We don't know. Until VZW says something, we dont know.

Roger that. I was reading posts earlier but wanted to know if we're ready to rock at midnight. In a way, I hope not.

Just got off the phone with my official verizon store and the sales associate said no one in he store has been told when the phone will be released yet....

Yankee, another poster on the forums and Costco employee, expects 1-2 weeks after VZ release. Check out the Costco thread in the G-nex main thread

Anyone know how long it takes costco to carry after a release?

I have to walk away...this is always when news breaks...brace for it

Thanks for taking one for the team.

Dude, you were not even gone 3 minutes before Cincy came along and dropped the bomb:

Just called my Corporate store and asked about the Galaxy Nexus. I asked to speak to the manager and spoke with Tom. I asked him if he had the Nexus in and if I can stop by and play with it before the 21 and he said no. I asked him does he mean no it's not in or no I can't stop by and play with it. He said he's not allowed to let anyone see it yet. I asked if at any time prior to the 21 it will be available to see. He said to stop by on Sarurday, he expects to be given the go ahead then. I asked if he is sure it will sell on the 21 or if it is going for per-order prior to that and he said he hasn't heard anything about a preorder. He said he doesn't expect that to be necessary. I told him about my phone call to Corporate and how impressed I was with them. I asked again if he was absolutely sure it is going on sale on the 21 and he said yes.

We may have to start paying MoPhoMan for his absenteeism.

And wtf am I doing posting this? I'm at work and could get in some serious hot water yet I can NOT stay away from this thread. I'm sneak posting right now, this is insane. I need help. I need the Nexus.

For the Bionic and RAZR, they had them in store on launch date. Bionic had a pretty sweet bundle.

My gut feeling is they won't have the GNex on launch day though.

I'd say this is more than just a rumor, it's one of the most plausible rumors we've heard yet... I think it deserves more than just "rumor" status

 

[brain85]

I'm honestly going to ask my boss tomorrow if I can take Monday off for personal reasons.

Plan A is to zip over to the VZW store for an early lunch . No point in giving up a day's work when I can be setting up phone on "the man's" time

I'd much rather pay the $15 to have a screen protector on from the very beginning than chance it for a week or so. Nothing bothers me more than scratches!

I feel a tickle in my throat coming on. *cough, cough*

I have vacation hours that I'll just use for monday.

 

[MoPhoMan]

Yup. Not a blessed work related thing. My poor company. Lol. Maybe by after Thanksgiving I will be productive again

Look at it this way...when you get the phone, it will make you that much more productive.

$15? You can get 3 for like $4 on ebay, and from my experience they are far superior to the crappy $15 ones you buy at stores, or any of those crap ones that need water to be put on.

 

[Puchkey]

Have you seen this video? Screen protectors are a thing of the past, man

I still don't know if I can go without a screen protector. it seems so vulnerable without one. I see the video, but, idk

I think I'm coming down with a severe case of the Nexus flu...

 

[Reborn58]

I heard the galaxy nexus can be used as a flotation device for survival situations...any confirmation on this feature?

one thing bothers me more than scratches...film covering my beautiful screen

Looks like the Casio GzOne is on the verizon page and so is the bb bold.

Seems reasonable you want to be there for the birth!
