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

Here is my take on the situation. The equipment guide got out with the date of release and the store reps started to sound the horn letting everyone know (this did happen we all talked to reps that told us the 9th). Someone high up in the corporate office started to hear all the buzz and got their panties in a bunch and went strait up their arss. They where so mad for the hind sight that everyone would know when the phone would release before they made the actual official announcement. They went and told them to remove the 9th from the equipment guide which made everyone panic and think it would no longer be released on the 9th (kind of like the whole 32gb 16gb fiasco). They will make the press release tomorrow night phone goes on sale Friday morning as planned….. this is just my thoughts no actual hard information and I hope it comes true
 
Anyone else here plan on trying to get one of these things on Friday from either Costco, Best Buy, or Radioshack? Hoping they don't get the memo about not releasing? LOL
 
Why would he tell us all he has "good news" on a pre-release thread for the Nexus then? What other news would we even care about on here? :p

does it have to do with a certain phone that rhymes with plexus and a certain date in december? of this year! :D

lol define good news.. i mean you could tell my i'm about to save a ton of money on car insurance and heck that would be good news. lol

does it have to do with a nexus prime release date? :p

it doesn't involve any inside info or sources or rumors regarding the GNex release - it's strictly for the people of this particular thread in this particular forum.
 
Why do people really believe they will hold phones in stock until 2012. That is the most silly thing I've ever heard.

Guys... keep it simple. IF the stores have the products, they aren't going to wait much longer than next week. There is no way. There is no how. That is business 101. There is so much profit to be made for the Christmas quarter and TECHNICALLY they won't see the huge jump in the bill until q1 anyways.

Let's try to use our heads around here. Obviously it depends on if the stores actually have GNs.
 
just stopped by my nearest authorized reseller and was told "the release date was removed from our system today, but we'll sell them when we have them". i personally couldn't get one there since i am on the rent-a-razr plan through a corporate store, but i found that comment interesting. the reason i never use resellers is because the ones around here do not follow corporate policies and generally tend to make up their own rules (i.e. denying the holiday return policy completely when i asked about it). for once, this could work in our advantage. i bet there are some other resellers out there who would gladly take your money whether corporate VZ wants them to or not.

Except they won't be able to activate them until VZW says so.

Thought I would join the party. First post in this thread.
I have had an upgrade available since May of this year and originally I was extremely excited to get the Galaxy S2 on Verizon. Of course it never came and I have been waiting. Then we got the rumors of the Nexus Prime which eventually turned into the Galaxy Nexus and still we are waiting.

Really, I have waited for a Samsung branded, dual core, 4G LTE device on verizon for the better part of a year. ICS is just the dessert for me. The "icing on the cake."

I am extremely disappointed that it may not come out this Friday. Of course, I was also extremely disappointed when it didn't come out in October or November too.

What am I going to do about it? I am going to wait and read and wait some more. This phone will be mine. I will be patient like I have been all year, but when the day comes, whenever it comes, The NEXUS WILL BE MINE!!! :D
 
If this DELAY is really related to the network outage and/or the distribution of bad/incompatible sim cards, then it's possible that Verizon really has no idea when this will be resolved. Hence, they really are like a deer in headlights.
 
Chief, did the guy actually say it was delayed, or that the date simple ly wasn't there any more?

And please don't tease like that. We are on edge. We get tortured with Steven's 10 minute delays, now you're asking us to wait 6 hours?

At least tell us what it's about.

He saved money on his car insurance by switching to Geico! :D

Edit: Even on this, I get Ninja'd. :)
 
tomorrow will be the announcement. Gnex for friday.
Hence the store meeting tomorrow for employees.

I AM STICKING WITH THIS.
SEACREST OUT.

Hope you're right. My girlfriend's Eris died. I'm giving her my Incredible when I get the Nexus. Really don't want to participate in the Rent-a-Rezound program. I know I shouldn't have any moral objection to it, but for some reason I do.
 
My sister hasn't texted me anything more yet.

But come back here at 12:29 am tonight. I will have some news that may or may not excite you. It will consist either of epic Nexus news or what my favorite movies are. You won't want to miss it!

:)

Can't wait to hear about your favorite movies.

I demand a "Han Solo's Favorite Movies List" Pre-release thread! Mods, chop chop and get on that please.

Think of the highs, and the lows. Will it be loaded with courtroom dramas? Is he going to sneak in My Little Ponies-The Movie onto the list?

Is it going to be the Olsen Twins as we all suspect?

Will it *really* be released at 12:30? Is that confirmed? Who told you 12:30? I don't believe it. I think it will be pushed back to 1:30.
 
Here's my theory, and it's the correct one:

LTE is spotty right now for some reason across the country. In SE Michigan it was fine this AM, but not now. It started having problems last night.
There is nothing wrong with the Nexus, but Verizon doesn't want to have to have a bunch of brand new LTE phones returned because people aren't happy that they aren't getting LTE on their brand new LTE phone. So Verizon will wait until the network issue is fixed, which might be tomorrow or might be next week. I have confirmed this with the best source there is -- my brain.
