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

[mongstradamus]

Is there anybody here on Att or Sprint that can tell me if they also blunder their big launches or is it just VZW?

Att only cares about iPhones so they really don't launch android devices per se

BTW not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but:

Look at the Q&A session... right off the bat it seems Gmail doesn't have pinch-to-zoom in ICS Big disappointment IMO. How the f**k am I supposed to read HTML emails? :/

 

[BLD]

Ok, everyone needs to take a deep breath. This phone is not dropping until Christmas time. The phones are ready. No defects. It's purely a fiscal decision. There are 4 reasons for this decision;

1) RAZR was just released
2) ReZound was just released
3) the iPhone 4S is still on back order
4) Verizon execs are crack heads.

There ya have it.

Fixed that for ya.

 

[scottg96]

Hmm... while this make sense, and I obviously have nothing against you, but where are you getting this info? I'd like to see some credibility here...
Sorry if it's already been established (I'm not being sarcastic).

iPhone 4S is on backorder according to Verizon's listings (Will ship by 12/9).

Call quality in the few that ive taken is good. Havent ventured out into the world to see what its like with normal usage though. Had it on charge once to get to full battery and this is were im at so far:

Looks good, but everyone should keep in mind that it takes several charge cycles before the phone learns the battery and accurately reports info.

But looks promising.

 

[nexusprimepls]

Wow, I didn't see that TheRoosevelt made Droid Life, and posted by Kellex, that's pretty damn cool in my book!

 

[bammbamm]

Han, im pretty sure the majority of us all had your back and are very appreciative of everything you and your sister contribute, I for one am, I vote you continue being you and disregard/look past one button pusher. We luv ya truly

 

[Wilfred B]

I can confirm it doesnt have it.

[Gandalf7]

Count me in too. I take your info to be some of the most reliable

I agree heartily! Please count me in, as well, Han.

 

[Steven58]

The thread has become self aware.

You discovered my plan!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but if I get the Rezound at Costco and then I return it when the Galaxy Nexus comes out, will I pay the $299 (guessed price) for it, or will I have to pay the full retail value? Better yet, I could get it at Amazon for $0.01 right...? and then return it for the shipping fee then get the nexus for $299. Lol this is just a little wishful thinking that I've been having.

 

[BabyBlues]

I don't like this. But thank you

 

[nexusprimepls]

1. I hope to God you're right.

2. Add me to your list. I like your source.

Interesting... That's the first I have heard of that. It came from Kellex too, but he does say there is no way to know if the LTE version for Verizon does the same thing or not. Apparently, time will tell, but I DO trust in Han's sister. Her info has seemed to be spot on and always comes with the disclaimer, subject to change.

I hope you will add me as well Han. I admit to a bit of brown nosing here by linking to a post of mine a few pages back......

 

[scottg96]

I can confirm it doesnt have it.

So then dealing with HTML emails is still a pain? Does it at least scroll lock? (as in if I'm scrolling vertically does it not detect the slight horizontal scrolling? Basically does it act like the browser... lol)

 

[muscal]

Han, please don't stop posting stuff from Hanetta. But if you do, please include me in your list. Maybe you should start a Google + Circle and include people you want to share to. What is your G+ link?

 

[Crashumbc]

I can confirm it doesnt have it.

Thanks, but Do any versions of gmail have it? My Dinc doesn't.

I guess I'm asking is this lost functionality or merely a unfulfilled wishlist item.

 

[brain85]

If the Nexus doesn't come out by December 8th I.....I might actually keep the razr.

:O

Mine doesn't either. It's the only reason I will sometimes forward emails to my aol account. That one resizes with no problem.

Costco has a 90 day exchange policy where you can exchange your phone for any other phone and simply pay the difference. Just check with your local Costco.

I got my Bionic from Costco on Sep 8 and desperately need the Nexus to drop BEFORE Dec 8. If it goes beyond the first week in Dec, I am stuck with Bionic as my 90 day window will be over.

Just checked out P3's twitter page. So funny!

"@Droid12940 There is a forum for that, called A/C join them in doubting me."

 

[tpags]

Even though this launch is seriously ruffling my feathers, I am down for the Nexus whenever it comes out. Because I truly believe this is the last time Verizon will be getting a crack at a Nexus. Even though there will be devices announced at CES that will be truly amazing none of them will be a pure google device. Unless, with ICS we see more unskinned devices. I hope so but I cant see Motorola or HTC letting go of blur and sense. And I went to check out the Razr and the Rezound and for me the Razr was like a pop tart and the Rezound was a little bulky. Gimme the Nexus(hopefully sooner than later VZW) Please and thank you!!!

It's ok. If you love it and see yourself continuing to love it then that's really all that matters.

 

[Gandalf7]

OK so it seems the vzw double data promotion ends on the 30th of November and the Nexus is not coming in November. Looks like I have to buy a Rezound and exchange it for a nexus to get on the data thing. ...

There is some indication that the promotion runs through the end of the year. To help avoid the dilemma that you describe, I am hoping that Rob will consider clarifying this with Verizon Wireless. If you have not seen them already, Rob's post is here, and my answer to his questions and request is here.

 

[ajdroidx]

I say that Han just post his(sisters) leaks here and if people want to read them, they can, if not, they can skip the post. Easier then mass PM's

 

[Wilfred B]

They dont look as good as they could put it like that. Formatting is a bit skew whiff in full HTML mail. But yes there is scroll lock, simply because swiping left or right brings up the next email.
