lol... there was a small communication that there was some dissent on the upper levels as to how this release was being handled. I posted it this morning, actually.
STEVEN NOTE:
Han's sister said they were discussing the possibility and it wasn't set in cement. With that in mind, don't overreact. Perhaps you can twitter or email your feelings to Verizon respectfully. Additionally, understand that this is only a rumor. There have been tons of rumor, many, if not most of which, were false.
So, don't get worked up. At this point, the only thing we know for sure is that Verizon said "before the end of the year." I think they mean it. The upper levels can "discuss" the 1st quarter all they want, and they have to, as to consider all possibilities. It's their job to do that. It's just talk, however. The fact is that they committed themselves to a pre 2012 release, so everyone calm down, chill out and love one another!![]()
Assuming that VZW is "testing" still (per "source"); and assuming that Android 4.0.2 is what they are testing which was OTA'd yesterday; and assuming as previously stated that testing takes about 5 days for a testing period... it seems like early next week is the best that we can hope for with any kind of official statement from VZW. Just my 2 cents... but seems logical.
I don't know why people keep clinging to the press release. Companies absolutely do not have to abide by them as though they're law. Delays happen all the time in a multitude of products. Apple missed their October window for iTunes match, for instance.
VZW will release the phone when they want to and there won't be that much hue and cry if they choose not to. They will keep pushing whatever droids they have and the vast, VAST majority of consumers won't notice a difference.
I think with the news this morning from Steven and now Han's PM that its time to reconsider waiting for the GNex. I think I am going to wait until Thursday and if no announcement then I am going to get a ReZound!!!!

Not sure if this has already been posted, but here it is:
Galaxy Nexus From Verizon Announcement
Well they test all the way through launch, per numerous statements from those in the know, so just because they are testing, doesn't necessarily mean launch is at least 5 days away. Plus P3 said he got 4.0.2 a couple weeks ago. So this is more of a soak test if he was being truthful.

or you can come up here to Canada and get one on the 8th of DECEMBER

The fact that such a question needs to be asked is disturbing.
Or he saw one of us retweeted.
If he is here..... Hi Han!!!
Don't forget the $80 those buds are fetching on eBay. It would make a good phone even better with the "discount".I've ignored the Beats earbuds completely, leaving them in the box. It's been well-documented that the bassy equalized audio only kicks in under the conditions you described and that was never a selling point for me. (besides, I can't stand earbuds anyway).
Hey Steven, is it at all possible that we change the the title of the thread to something generic, like "Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread", and leave it at that from now on? I mean, yeah still put the sources communications in the OP and in posts in the tread itself, but I feel that the title constantly changing, especially to reflect one little rumor that only one person is saying, creates the hysteria, doom and gloom, and overall downtrodden and sometimes vicious atmosphere that we've been seeing lately. And just when it comes back down to normal, someone else who hasn't kept up with the thread notices the title change and freaks out, causing others to freak out.
EDIT: I'll add that while I will stipulate to the question marks in the title being a good thing, they don't show up in the URL for the thread, so it looks like this: "quarter-one-release".
I believe there were a few posts asking for this which a ton of people thanked, so I believe the consensus is that people would rather not have the title change twice a day with the constantly changing info we get. No disrespect intended!
Thanks.
Can anyone tell me Han's Google + name and/or twitter name?
what is your signal strength like? Most people don't realize how HUGE of a difference signal strength can make.
But even that, would be a stretch for a 1/4 in a hour. sounds like you got a lemon![]()
I'm giving up for now, folks. Apparently I need an updated sim to get roaming partner coverage at the new house, there is actually coverage I didn't know about. The lack of coverage at the new house was my only reason for switching to Verizon. VZW has just confirmed my prior attitude toward them with the way they handled this launch.
I may still try the GNex on VZW, especially if the coverage near the new place doesn't pan out, but I'm going to be trying first and foremost to keep my service working with a company I really like, T-Mobile.
I'll keep lurking and maybe posting and hanging out in IRC. May the GNex be released soon.
