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

[jbmoore972]

This thread is so addictive!! Come on Verizon...I really need to get some work done. Over the past month I have really neglected too much at work.

Charlie, can you search the Market for an app called "APK Installer" and download it? It might help with sideloading Flash...

Just thinking out loud here...

Spoiler

Family KNOWS I've lost it over this phone, so it's okay

 

[BabyBlues]

I just hit F5 and no new posts showed up. Does that mean I'm caught up or is the internet broken?

It does happen once or twice a day.
The interwebz are not broken - yet.

Did Cincy get back to us on what that 7:00am meeting was about at the VZW store?

According to the Verge review and panda's tweets, Nexus' camera falls below the 4S in terms of picture quality. Would you have preferred that the Nexus come with a non-zero shutter lag 8MP camera (like on the SGii which some suggest rank higher in quality than the 4S camera) ?

<--This lurkers' 1st post!

Nope. I would rather get a shot my dog's face with that near zero lag, than a shot of his a**

Think we can crash the site?

I bet we can and will.

To late I have been camping there since October.

Ok, you're in first.. I've been here since Oct 31. So can I get 2nd?

I have no idea what your talking about!

Read my lips, I will say this for the record, my decision to buy an android had absolutely positively unequivocally nothing to do with the fact that the iPhone Porn playing abilities were hampered. I mean what "loser" would actually use that as a a decision to purchase a phone?? Not me.... *clearing my throat* Dammit, Im hear for the ability to root!!

Can God strike you down by lying on a forum?!?!? Just asking.

-e

P.S. If you guys (and girls?) need something to hold you over until release day, go buy a Kinde Fire. I can't stop playing with that stupid thing.

Don't you know? Porn is one of the exclusive features of android.

 

[jbmoore972]

Nope..not yet. Fingers crossed

Janesville is a sad sad place. GET OUT!!! Come to the holy land

LOL... eh, its holding up fairly well considering all thats gone away in the last few years. I do like Madison tho, spend plenty of time up there.

 

[Sushibagel]

Every time I get an email on my phone I always need to check it the lasfew days hoping its from VZ about the Gnex. But 90% of the time it's this forum.lol

 

[themanchild]

I just had people stop outside my office (again) because I was laughing.
And yes - girls here too

Silver spring. We have the trifecta of the malls: Wheaton, Rockville and Bethesda. I live just off Georgia Ave, so it's a RIDONCULOS mess.

Ooooh, love White Flint. But those MoCo malls get so packed. I can't deal with that. (Not that Columbia Mall or Arundle Mills are any better)

GREAT NEWS!!!!



Out of desperation for news I was playing with the coverage map and discovered that I'm a few hundred yards INside a 4G area! Holy Crap! I would have nevAr guessed.

 

[darejer]

Does anyone have any good news this morning?

 

[The_Chief]

Welcome to the madness, NextNexus! Glad to see all the lurkers coming out to play!

 

[eddieruko]

haha i can't imagine your inbox with emails from new replies on this thread...

i was disappointed at first that it wasn't set up to do that at first, but boy am i glad i'm not getting an email everytime. yikes.

I don't have emails sent to me from this forum because it would blow up my inbox. Lol. The only time i see the header 'Email from Android Forums' is when I get a PM. It's hopeless waiting for VZW (unless they are sending me my bill notification)

 

[jbmoore972]

Still hanging on for the SGN. Had the Razr for a few days. Awesome phone but just didn't feel right in my hands. Returned it and all set to take the plunge.

 

[vandyman]

Sure you can, but something smells like B O around here and I am not sure were it is coming from.

 

[lickwidravr]

has Cincy posted an update from calling this morning?

Smart choice. wb!

Be careful with this. Multiple places have clarified this policy. This is only for purchases that aren't activated. Once activated, the usual 14-day policy is in place.

It so you can buy a phone as a gift. Once your gift recipient opens the gift, activates phone, they have 14 days to decide if that is the phone for tthem or not. It benefits us only in a gift giving situation...

Only if they are not activated, once activated you have 14 days

Guys, if I were you I would definitely not go off of what you've read on the forum because everyone is saying different stuff. The VP I talked to told me that I would have the entire extended holiday return period to return the Nexus if I didn't like it. He knew I would be activating it from Day 1.

But don't take my word for it either. I would call customer care and be very specific about what you're asking, take their name, and ask them to please make a note on your account about what they told you.

Otherwise you might get screwed over and be majorly pissed.

Galaxy Nexus review roundup, LTE release date confirmed - Computerworld Blogs

Repost, I Know

we wrote this off as everywhere in UK earlier, but after the verge posting, i went back and looked.

I do think they're referring to the LTE version. This could be good

The source article says:

As it turns out, the Oxford Street Phones4U store will be the only one to have the Galaxy Nexus on launch day today, but O2 and the other carriers are taking orders now and will be able to ship one to you very soon indeed. You know, in case you don't want to encourage this silly practice of exclusive single-store launches. Google tells us the Galaxy Nexus will be available "pretty much everywhere" from Monday, November 21st.

Seems like they're just talking about the UK version.

I can't help but think a box this big doesn't have a bunch of cases in it...especially with the do not open until date. Can't stop walking in the back room, employees starting to stare...

Can you push against the box and tell us if it's very heavy?

How big is the box?

Is there a **** in the box?

If you drop the money on the counter and then run out of the back Im pretty sure that would not be a crime.

I will check with my attorney wife.

No need to ask your wife. Yes, it is a crime.

I'd kiss you if I could!!!
(right after Steven and Han)

I'm after Steven? Ugh. I'll take a rain check? Or at least wait 24 hours until after you've kissed him!
