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

Not open for further replies.
Called my local corp VZW store tonight. Guy was real cool about answering my questions. First time calling and even asking about the GeNex. Anyway he said they just received their first shipment in today and received a total of 25 phones. He stated they were able to start selling the phone on Friday morning. I asked him if there was anyway I could have one put on hold, he stated he could not and it was a first come first serve basis. But he then proceeded to tell me that they would be getting a shipment every day of at least 25 phones. So basically come Friday morning they could have roughly 75 phones on hand with another shipment of 25 coming that afternoon and then 25 more on Saturday.

P3Droid got his hand on the extended battery...had this to say about it.

But it does look like it comes with a separate cover. So does that mean it's going to be kind of bubbled out on the back? I'm not sure how exactly that will work and not look weird on the back with a step-out like:

I was trying to find a pic with the 2100 mAh battery in place, but can't find one as of yet.
 
OK, so I'll add my confirmation to the growing numbers of testimonies...

I just got a call from my VZW corporate store contact (I gave him my name and number weeks ago to call me when he heard something) and he says the phone "just showed up in his system and it will be available for purchase on Friday 12/09".

He also says not too many people have been asking about the phone and while he has none in the store yet nor has any idea how many they're getting, I shouldn't have to worry about them being sold out by the time I come in to buy one.

I am leaning toward buying mine from Costco (who earlier confirmed they will have them on launch day) if they offer a bundle. If not, I'll go oto the corporate store.

The death-grip of the delay may soon be loosening! G-Nexers, UNITE!

Extended battery uses same cases and docks. You can't tell its on there. In fact the extended should be the standard IMO.

Extended battery uses same battery door it seems which is always a great sign.

Awesome, considering I've already ordered my TPU case. I'd hate to lose out on the extended battery. I wonder why there's a cover included with the extended battery?
 
CONGRATULATIONS THREAD!

1.5 MILLION views! WHOO HOOOO :D

I have to wait until morning to call My Rep about this Friday thing. I was told Thursday. So I don't know if I get some rare exception - being the august Chief that I am :rolleyes: - or they were wrong and now I have wait another day.

ANYWAY: Looks like this roller coaster is finally about to pull into the station for good... and, as VZ-Wired said long ago, we're gonna be "VERY HAPPY"!
 
Can't wait for Friday to get here, not because the phone is "releasing" but to see this thread catch fire when it doesn't actually release.

Mwuahahhahahhaahaha!!!

Yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering. Why include a cover if it fits in the same space as the 1850 mAh battery? :confused:
 
I just call VZW support in regards to the Wireless Hotspot issue, ie....paying for it.
The pricing is on the VZX web page. I'm grandfathered in from my data plan , but that DOES NOT include the mobile hot spot feature. Unlimited Date peps can get the discounter (: Unlimited Mobile Hotspot feature for 30.00 a month. At first I thought this sucked, but for some people. not gamers, you could use your phone for a 4g mobile hotspot to your laptop or pc and get rid of your ISP.

The mobile hot spot is not free. Actually the support dude, said just root it!! pretty cool guy. Pretty sure this wont apply to WIRED tethering, especially with PDA.net
The other peps on the NEW data plans, will be charged at this rate:

Hey everyone! Long-time lurker of this thread. Figured I'd come out of hiding. I have a question though...

I've always had Verizon activate my phones in store. But like most of you, I want to activate the GNex myself. Coming from an OG and no SIM card, how do I do this? Call a number for activation?

Do you need a Costco membership to use their wireless booths? I know with their pharmacy you don't need a membership!
 
earlier today the sales person i always get my phone from claimed that he did not know when the GN is coming out. and now i called a different store and made an appointment at 9 am friday right before going to work. I'm done with my original sales person for lying.

Well P3 said that you can barely notice that it's an extended, so I imagine any step-out isn't very noticeable. I would like to see a comparison shot first though.

I could.

But it won't be very long. Or any good :D

It only has to be 1500 - 2000 words, which is pretty short, but I'm not a big fan of feminist writing, it's really dense and wordy which makes this more annoying that most of my papers are normally. Ok back to work!

PM iif something important happens!
 
Finally. A rep told me... over the phone.

Friday. "Do you have stock yet" "No but we will for Friday and you won't need to worry about lines ect"

wow. I wasn't dreaming... or maybe.. maybe I am... UGH!
