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

Wait what screenshot!? lol

Ditto....!

This for the pessimistic folks

Uhhh, is that blood?

 

[Hilbe]

So I'm guessing at this point, a preorder (unless overnighted) probably isn't going to beat just walking into a corp store?

Has there been any solid info as to when the 4GB promo ends? I don't have it right now and surely don't want to miss out... So sorry if I'm beating a dead horse with this.

 

[wyggles]

Alright, I've been gone since yesterday. What's the current prediction?

 

[IndecisiveElle]

I have a question regarding the Rent-a-Rz thing... I know it's a little late in the game, but I'm curious:

I was asking a CSR about doing this and she said that if I got aforementioned Rz phone, it would use my upgrade and I wouldn't be able to return it for the GNex without paying full retail price. I even told her about the new return policy, but she insisted that would be the case. Can someone confirm what would be the case? I'm pretty sure she was wrong.

BTW, I'm not necessarily considering doing this since we're FINALLY in the home stretch and I wouldn't want to pay a $35 restocking fee, but I'm just interested.

Return vs exchange. You would need to exchange it to keep your upgrade. It may sound like semantics, but it's not, they're different policies and terms in retail.

If they do pre orders Tues around midnight and ship wed I could see it arriving Thur with in store launch fri

I think it's against the androidforums posting rules to sell crack on the forums.

It would seem as if Verizon is just offering a way for internet orderers to recieve their phones the same day as those walking into stores if the release is Thursday.

No official word I don't think, but current 4g customers can opt-in at any time if you already have a 4g VZW phone. Speculation says the promo ends in January I believe.

Does this mean we get to relieve you of command?

I'm here if any messages need to be authenticated.

AntimonyER has the con, don't look at me!

You will just have to wait once you return the razr for your upgrade to be restored. Sometimes takes a day or two. I'd wait if I were you

That's what I'm hoping too. I want the phone ASAP (i.e. if pre-orders ship early!) but I want to make sure the guy at my store gets the commission, and I need to use the LivingSocial deal! Plus, if they get the phones in a day early I'm sure he'd let me stop in and pick it up Big "if", though.

False I returned a charge after the fact unlimited data would be grandfathered and my upgrade got restored.

At least hide it if you are going to sell it,It is off topic.

Most think that DD will last though December. Hope that helps?

Someone was saying that online pre- order would beat or at least match in store date..

Such a big week next week with The Black Keys new album dropping and the Gnex dropping, I decided to take vacation Thurs!

Always like relaxing on the weekend but glad that the 'vacuum suck' of information over the weekend will be over and we can hopefully get some official word on the Gnex.

The Keys album on the 6th and the Gnex on the 8th would be my ideal week... and if I do get the Gnex I will be doing the "Lonely Boy" dance for sure... luv the boys from Akron....

My rep told me she didn't see the SGN in her system. I told her the rumors if a pre-release/release this week. She checked further and found reference to it. She said she looked all over that screen and it gave no dates

I then asked her that if a pre-release were to be scheduled for Wednesday, when exactly on Wednesday would that start. She was very clear that orders start at 12:01am EST, the day of pre-release. I think I'll be staying up for that one!

She also said that the number of days between the pre-release orders being taken and it being in the store varies. Again

When I go online I have a message on VZN's site saying I am eligible for an early upgrade with $50 off the price of the phone. But when I go to a Corp store I don't have that option they say. So I guess that means if I want that $50 I HAVE to order it online? That sucks because I wanted to get is ASAP. What to do what to do....

Well, I'm signing off for the night! I gotta get some sleep, I have a Chem final in the morning! Wish me luck! Here's to hearing some news tomorrow!

I think many will be staying up seeing if it happens.
