I tried all of that with my local store. I was told that he could not find this phone in the system. He then went on to tell me that he heard a rumor that it would be available for tomorrow but wasn't sure.

Good work. Thanks for posting this.

But I'm curious why you say these are the first real pictures. I've seen similar pictures posted for a while now. What makes these more real or the others not as real?

As you noticed, the real world differnce in thickness is about two sheets of paper.

Hmm, well, it's first real picture that I've seen anyway :p The only pictures of the LTE version I'd seen before were those horrible blackish renders from the Google page, but I could've missed something while I was skimming the thread to catch up.
But these photos are very different from the CG images on Google's page, so I felt I would make a more accurate comparison.

(for reference, here's the only other comparison I'd seen)
 
Tried calling my BB store @ 9:01. It seemed they weren't open yet, as it didn't give me the option to speak to someone.

Come on BB, get your act together and open in a timely fashion! :P

I just read the fine print on that Best Buy ad:

*Carriers, coverage and products may vary by store. Available in New Jersey. Carrier requirements may include data plan subscription, credit approval, usage fees and termination fees.

"Available in New Jersey"?

ONLY New Jersey???

Am I going to have to figure out what exit BabyBlues lives off and go storm the Best Buy with her? Or is this thing going nationwide and they just mentioned New Jersey for some weird reason? :confused:

Makes no sense to me, folks...

This just confirms what I thought all along....the mafia is controlling the release of the Galaxy Nexus......!!!!:D

Well, that was disapppointing. Got through to a guy in Mobile but he said he has no idea when it will come out because it was scheduled for 11/27 but he hasn't heard any new dates since then...

I just realized we were comparing comparisons...

So, now that we have the first REAL pictures of the LTE version (courtesy of Best Buy and zedster's hacking skillz), I figured I'd make a comparison between the two versions.

As you can see, the difference in shape and thickness is a lot less obvious than previously suggested. When I overlayed the two images, they were exactly the same thickness, within a few pixels.

awesome.... ive been waiting for a good comparo picture
 
With the NBA season beginning on Xmas, I'm wondering if I'll see Derrick Rose or the SGN first.
 
So just to make sure I'm all caught up: Best Buy still hasn't completely pulled the "Nexus Prime" from it's December ad, since you can find it if you do a search on the weekly ad, but this was probably an oversight per their correction notice, the GNex actually isn't in stock at BB, and no one really knows for sure when it will be. So we've still got nothing.

That about right?

Whaa? I didn't see that pic anywhere, or a link saying "Nexus Prime" was officially a mistake? :confused:

if its the same one mentioned below I think thats the December buyers guide.

Best Buy comes to its senses, remembers that the Nexus Prime is the Galaxy Nexus | Android Central

I guess Best Buy at least is marginally more helpful than Verizon... This device is called Galaxy Nexus, and we still have no official, solid release date, arrrgghhh! Right, back where we were before:(
Oh well, at least there is NFL today.

Sorry you have been at least Double Ninja'd, Han! We still love you though. Oh, and good morning to you too!

edit:
looks like I got ninja'd in my attempts to point out ninja-ing!

On the website its the plus sign in the post. You click it and then when you're ready you hit quote on the last one you did.
On the app its a matter of manually quoting and then copying, then backing out and quoting the next one you want and then pasting your previous copy.
Did that make sense?

I have been doing it by hand all along...still don't see the + sign tho...I may need a tutorial

Yeah, but we have some reason to believe the GNex is coming some time this week (probably tomorrow or Tuesday).
 
Yeah so I just got a hold of someone in mobile and they said "We do not have it in stock" and when I asked when she said "It all depends on when the trucks get in" and I said when would that be and she said "I cannot give that information out" take it FWIW...
 
Just called the Back Bay Best Buy (B^4?) and they were a little confused between the "Galaxy Nexus" and the "Nexus Prime." They did not have anything in the system, and he checked and told me it's not available for pre-order yet either. He did cryptically say "it should be out soon" but I don't think he was dropping hints, I think he's just assuming if it's on the website then it'll be in stores shortly.

I tried to ask if he thought they may have it tomorrow for "Cyber Monday" but he went off and told me all about the great DInc2 and RAZR. Kind of made me laugh, but oh well, he's trying! I feel kind of bad for all the BB associates today, I don't think they had any warning that it was incorrectly in the weekly circular.
