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

Okay here's the short story: I have a rep who has hooked me up in the past, and we made an agreement...

(S)he calls me as soon as (s)he knows when Nexus is launching and I'll make sure (s)he gets the purchase commission on the phone and some accessories. Not a bad trade, huh?

I got a call on my cell phone tonight from said rep! And Launch Day is:

DECEMBER 8TH!

:D :D :D :D :D

SO I am 99% convinced that - unless Verizon completely botches it - I have 6 days to go and I'll be holding my Beloved Nexus in my hands! WHOOT!

MY bad news is that (s)he doesn't start work until 11AM :eek: :( so I have to wait 2 agonizing hours after they open to buy it! Oh well, more time to play with the demo and pick out my accessories :)

Is it off topic to proclaim my love and adoration of you and all our sources?

I think it's worth it. I have never had a dock and have always wanted one. I'll definitely get the desktop dock. This phone is going to be my wireless router, music player, alarm clock and much more. I definitely need the convenience of a dock this time.

Also, sorry I have been absent lately guys. Just started a new job and got married. I keep up with the thread everyday though. Keep up the good work. Looks like we are close!

CONGRATS on your marriage and new job!

Nash - You were in the Dinc thread correct? Good to see you again and congrats on the nuptials and job. Must be hard to settle down in that crazy Nashville scene?

Best wishes to you and the Bride!
 
I'd like to thank everyone here who've made my wait so much....worse. With all the different rumored dates, the late night IRC chats, and awesomeness. This forum is by far the best android one I've been on. Definitely sticking to this place once we get our phone on the 8th.

Unfortunately for me, I'm going to be stuck in a Crystal Reports training class. I'm not going to be grasping any of it next Thursday....

We'll TRY to save you one :o
 
I am waiting on the Nexus like the rest of you, but during my rent-a-rezound period I must say, this is an awesome phone. I have fallen in love with the screen and the battery life. I left the house at 9am this morning and 12 hours later I am at 60% w/ light facebook and email checking. Granted I turn 4g off, this is still amazing. Too bad I have to leave it for my lovely Nexus.
 
Chief - thank you! This may call for another drinking night.

Also, I was just at Best Buy looking at everything other than phones, but had to wander through the phone section to get anywhere. So, I figured might as well ask about the Nexus. The sales rep said "yea, a lot of people have been asking about it, but I don't know when it's coming out. They keep pushing it back."

Well, glad to hear that we have as official of a date as ever, but I find it interesting that he chose to say "they keep pushing it back." Implying there was a release date, and it got delayed. Too bad Verizon will stick with their "we didn't announce a launch date" defense and never own up to actually having delayed the phone this long.

I almost stopped reading for the night on the last page, i'm glad I kept going...starting up the time machine...see you all next Thursday.
 
And just checked mine... Thursday is one of a few days a week i work, but thankfully I have a pretty relaxed job at the moment, so I will be calling in late due to Nexus!

Hm. Since the NFC is built into the battery, I get the feeling we're not going to ever see an official extended battery for the GNex. Far more cost-effective to not produce two different batteries supporting the technology. As it is, I'd bet a GNex spare battery would cost about what a regular smartphone extended battery would.

NFC isn't built in, just a cheap little antenna.

wondering if just keeping the battery in your pocket would work? =)
 
I'm using a case like this one for my blackberry and I love the ease in which the phone can slide in and out. The magnetic closure still works well after all this time. I'm hoping to find something like it for my Nexus so I can keep it "naked" when I'm actually using it but still not worry about throwing it in my pocket with my car keys.

Whoa, whoa whoa. What the heck did I miss that we're now happy about a December 8th release? ;)

Glad to know this wait will be coming to an end soon :D

Wait, I'm pretty sure I said that exactly one month ago...

In other news, I'm confused about the Transformer Prime release date. Is it the 12th or the 19th? I was gonna preorder it today but I want to know that it won't be shipped to me while I'm out of the country...
