Hi All,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I had to get in on this thread before it closed! Anyway, I'm rocking a three year old Blackberry Storm (pitiful I know, and I work in IT no less) so Friday can not come soon enough!!!

Any suggestions for a cheap case till more come out later? I did see the one a few pages back on amazon... Any other suggestions out there?

Is it Friday yet?!


Hi..rocking a blackverry storm 2 here so not much better. I ordered a Matte black TPU case.

OK, I'm going to take Steven58's invitation to join in on the fun. I haven't been lurking as long as most people. I have only been reading this forum since early November.

I was give the iphone 4s as a birthday present but returned it when I heard I wasn't going to be able to get the double data plan, because it was a 3G phone. So paying the same price for slower speed and less data felt like I was getting shafted.

I'm still rocking a Motorola Krave ZN4 so this will be my first smartphone.:D

I can't wait for the release and I'm even getting my girlfriend one so we can droid beam each other. *in pun intended*

I called the corporate office in Forest Hills, Queens, NY and they said it would be available "shortly". They did not let me sign up for anything. Did any one have any luck for any locations in Queens, NY?

Welcome! And for a girlfriend it would probably be bumping. ;)
 
Well after a few years with my LG Chocolate (yes it has that sweet flip feature no longer available...), and several weeks of lurking, I can't wait to get the Gnex. Only issue now is making sure that the stores in my area have enough in stock!

Welcome!!! :)

Yes. It's Friday... You didn't get your Nexus, yet? Huh. :p
 
I see alot of East Coast love. Anyone have any luck verifying with a Southern Cali store? I'm sure it will be Friday, but wondering if Socal stores district managers are stricter or something.

Yes there was a report of a store near LA iirc.

Still nothing in NorCal (nothing near Sac and I saw a couple of posts about nothing in the Bay area).

How weird is it that Silicon Valley and the surrounding areas have nada, but places in the sticks have them?! WTH Verizon? :p
 
Called the Clarksville, Tennessee store and asked the guy if they were allowed to admit the Nexus was coming out this Friday. He said, "Ummm...yeah, we don't know anything yet." I then asked if Friday's hours would be typical 9am - 9pm and he said, "Yeah, since we don't know if anything is coming out or not, they'll be normal hours." Kinda seemed like he wanted to tell me something but couldn't/wouldn't.

whoever this district manager is has put a damper on this for us mid tn folks haha, ive tried about 12 nashville stores and got NOTHING
 
Hey fellow GNexers,

Friday would be my first time to jump onto VZW. I bought a living social coupon last month, and it says it must be used in store, or through telesales. To get the holy GNex on the launch day, I'll drop by the nearest corporate store. But I wonder if I can avoid the activation fee in store?

Am I asking too much? :)

Welcome, to the madness

I called two stores. One said they don't know for sure but it's looking like Thursday. The other said it's probably going to be Friday, for sure this week.
 
My last invitation to lurkers in this thread. I know you're there... in the thousands, probably.

I want to welcome you to Android Forums and encourage you to sign up and join the fray. Yup, this is coming from the thread's author and it's a special invitation to you welcoming you to join in the fun. We're safe and friendly.

If you join now, before the thread closes, you will have the distinction of having been part of this epic thread.

Sincerely,
Mr58. :D

Alright Steven. Just because you and everyone else has been so awesome these last couple of months, I'll finally join up.

Sadly, I won't be getting this till near Christmas. :( Switching to Verizon and bringing everyone on my plan over so surprising everyone with new phones as gifts. I'm sure there will be a lot of cool stuff out there once I finally get my hands on one.
 
I live in NYC but will be on business trip to Chicago Thurs-Fri. What sucks is that I fly out of NYC at 7am and land in Chicago at 10:30am. First time going to Chicago, but if traffic is bad as NY, I will probably make to a store near my hotel around noon.

I just called that location and asked right away: "Can I go pick up a Galaxy Nexus on Thursday?"
Store rep: "umm, sure!"
Me: "What do you mean? are you going to have that in stock and it'll be available for sale on Thursday?"
Store rep: "Yes"
Me: "What time do you open on Thursday??"
Store rep: "We open at 9, but you may want to call back tomorrow night because we may open earlier on Thursday. We are not sure just yet, but that may happen."

Worst thing that could happen to me is that GN sold out in that location and I am without GN over the weekend, possibly longer. I'm just crossing my fingers that metropolitan stores will get much larger stocks and not run out of them...
 
**UPDATE FOR SOCAL**
My rep just texted me again "Double checked. I'll have it on Friday. I'll hold one for you!" :D :D :D

I could pick it up at a closer store to my work in the morning, but he always comes through for me so I'll give him my business. :)
