Your "Google Contacts" can technically include anyone you've ever emailed. I wouldn't want all those people on my phone. Personally, I like the Verizon Backup Assistant. It's a simple and easy way for me to transfer my important contacts from one phone to another.

Edit: It also includes people you're following on Google+ now. I follow a lot of people I don't necessarily need in my contacts. I know a lot of people will disagree, but I really do like Verizon's Backup Assistant.

I have stored all my backups on my Google account for quite some time. None of my contacts are random people I have emailed. Gmail stores those contacts as "Other Contacts" by default. They will be autofilled when trying to email them again (Which is nice) but they do no clutter my contacts on my phone.

Very easy and convenient because my contacts are always saved, and constantly updated as I update them on my phone.

Sorry to do this to you guys but there has been a slight miscommunication from my contact. Apparently the information I have received about 4.0.2 being the majority build on release may have been slightly outdated. It is very possible that 4.1 may be the build you will see on your devices out of box. Once again, I do apologize for this confusion and please disregard my original post (here) until I am able to reconfirm a few things about the device itself. I will try to follow up today and get back to you guys soon as I have new information.

EDIT: Just to clarify, dates have not changed.

Does it matter at this point? Won't they just push and OTA update when you activate if there's an issue?

But if they have a release date planned, why not begin advertising before the release date? They're still scuttling it to help sales of RAZR and Rezound.

Until it is announced, it is still not set in stone. And Verizon learned their lesson on advertising for a phone without having it released with the Thunderbolt. I imagine a lot of that ad campaign money can be viewed as wasted.

Thanks for your info. It IS info that has been diseminated already, and still unable to verify if your info is corroborating the original info independantly (obviously it becomes multiple times more valuable if that is the case), or just repeating it. But like I said last night, information seems valid regardless, and I don't want you to think the info is not appreciated, even if some are a bit skeptical. If you would like to, I am sure Steven would be happy to verify your credentials via PM to protect your identity, and vouch for your authenticity. Then most skepticism would disappear (there are still a few that even question The Source, even though Steven has vouched for him, is why I say MOST).
 
Someone mentioned new radio hardware. I couldn't find this rumor in the last 5 pages. If there is a rumor can someone give me the rundown. I want the best hardware possible as this will be a20 month phone for me. And curious if I should wait to buy to ensure I get the new hardware.

That what I was always assuming. They can't really update all the phones that are currently in boxes (logistically it would be a nightmare). So I figured it would just get an OTA update upon activation.
 
Good morning G'nexers and Happy Friday! This Friday is real nice because its pay day and funds go asied for the SGN pending a Thursday release.

I see there was some bickering going on last night, but I am just going to avoid getting involved except to say that there are going to be a lot of rumors flying around (especially as we get closer to launch), but we're all friends here and no need to jump down someone's throat because they got a bad piece of information. You may trust someone with insider info but they may not have the latest correct information, it may have been correct to their knowledge.

I can't believe we are about 200 posts away from surpassing the DInc thread by 10k+ posts -- blows me away considering we thought we would never make it. I can say that I am proud to have passed the waiting time with you guys in this epic thread.

Can you believe its 18 days until Hanukkah and 23 days until Christmas already?!

I have 4G LTE (according to the map) and I live in Jersey. Probably because I'm so close to Philly though ;)

I also have 4G LTE in NJ, but I live across the river from NYC so I can see why as well.

Way to go Verizon!! It is now a real possibility we could hear an official announcement from AT&T about the Galaxy Nexus first. After all, Verizon did remove the "exclusively from" tag from its advertising.

Odd AT&y. -only Galaxy Nexus passes FCC testing
Click to expand...

Imagine if both carriers released this phone the same week and just the AT&T version had problems,All the VZW people would be crowing how their carrier does it right! On the other hand if the VZW phone was the only one with problems....Hold on to your F*in hats!

The mention was of new radio firmware.

There has been some very early stock released with 4.0.1 so there may be a chance you will get it (depending on when/where you order). The vast majority will see 4.0.2 however. I apologize, I should have pointed that out originally.

Thank you for the information. We appreciate your willingness o contribute. Is there any speculation on the new radio?? I guess that will be for units that are still in production. Seems odd that stock already in warehouses will have a different radio than later versions, but I don't really know.

Yeah, if your close to Philly or NY you will be ok.
Believe it or not there are some people in S. Jersey that still can not get cable TV.

I don't get it at my house but I know Newark has it so it's always making its way closer to me.

I used to live in Jersey City... man, I had a 3 story brownstone (former Mayor's house) with a view of the World Trade Centers and paid only $950 a month for the whole thing. It was SO much cheaper than living in NYC, I could not pass it up. The party nights were insane and there was room for everyone to sleep over after having too much to drink. A short cab to the Path and I was in town for work!
