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

[speede541]

Y'all remember a few eons ago (thread time) there was speculation that this would be a Best Buy exclusive. I don't recall the reasoning, and whatever it was, it's been pretty well discredited simply due to the fact that Verizon acknowledged its existence in that vague press release (the late Friday afternoon one back in October).

But -- wow -- what if? Something would have leaked from a BB employee by now, right? Once these phones hit the distribution channels, the jig is up and everybody will be talking about it.

Fingers crossed, though. I can smell that new electronics smell wafting my way.

So you really think you're going to show up at BB tomorrow and you're going to be able to buy it without VZW having said a word about it?

Slow down or you're gonna be disappointed.

Oh c'mon. Next you'll be telling me there is no Santa Claus.

Yes, I know the odds of anyone picking up a Prime/Galaxy today is pretty remote, but a guy can fantasize can't he?

The only doubts I have about it almost being released is we haven't heard any rumors of anyonegetting any in stock

Great...I got all excited about the best buy page and now I can't sleep.

 

[Rybnik]

Idk why but all of a sudden I though of portal: “the cake is a lie"

That's right, we are actually headed to the incinerator...thanks Verizon ahem, I mean GLaDOS.

SOMEONE POST SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DISCUSS

What is everyone looking forward to doing as soon as you get your Nexus?

Me? Setting up my home screens/wallpaper and installing my favorite apps.

 

[rexdog1888]

So(keeping the thread moving), if somehow the gnex really is released tomorrow, what's the first thing you'll do on it?
Edit:ninjad on being random...how did we both have the same idea for a topic

 

[Rybnik]

Ditto, although I have to take my GF to the airport now...maybe drop by best buy a bit later!

Your avatar is really grainy. If you point me to the full-size original, I'll shrink you down an anti-aliased version.

That'd be great, thanks(I couldn't get it small enough while having it still look good so I gave up)

I think its definitely a screw-up. If you actually browse the ad, the phone is not there. So its not in the print ad.

Great minds...

If Netflix is working, I'm going to put that screen and Lte to the test with an HD movie.

I don't think Netflix streams on mobile in hd
I might be wrong though

[kidtronic]

You can ignore the benchmarks but I enjoyed watching this video because the quality is pretty good so you get a clear shot of the screen in all its rich, vibrant, 720p glory.
