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

[redchilicat]

Nope. I didn't want to spend that much. I was just looking for a decent 10" Android tablet to use for a comic book reader, web browsing and Android Apps. It was only $32 out of my pocket after selling the TouchPad and the $80 Reward Zone coupon.

I ordered my husband the OG 16Gb from B&H Photo (Best Buy deal was sold out in my area) He didn't want to drop the big bucks either and he was originally going to get the Kindle Fire so I think this is a nice step up. He will mainly use it as an e reader/angry birds game machine.

Here's the question. IF and it's a gigantic IF at midnight the google.com/nexus site or Verizon Wireless begins selling the Nexus WILL YOU BUY IT or will you wait and see if they are in stores tomorrow. You know you can get it by Monday if you buy it online tomorrow. OR if you risk it and wait, you may not be able to get it at all.

What will you do?

I'm hoping to have this sucker before the weekend is up! Had it in my hand already without any begging and that seems to be evidence enough for me sales could start anytime now in stores.

Yes, a rarity in this day and age. I am also on the OG TF site on XDA, and ASUS has people watching it and answering questions or getting feedback to improve it. I have been really pleasantly surprised with the level of support by ASUS considering this device was the least expensive 10.1" tablet to come out this past year for android. There is a lot of support for it from the dev community too. I with phone manufacturers were this good with keeping their devices up to date...

Yeah the OEM's are pretty bad and wish google would give them a little nudge to be quicker with updates and less buggy. Then again until the skins are gone that will not happen. Google should do what apple and MS do and not allow others to customize android.

Sorry, can't be happy for the rapist, I get pleasure out of his injuries. It's amazing that Big Ben is a hero and Tiger Woods is the scum of the earth. Tiger's ladies were all willing.

The first time, OK, maybe it was an attention whore...second time, and we're looking at a pattern.

Agreed, except for the part of taking pleasure in his injuries.

Because of my line of work and being privy to a lot of investigations (for some reason I deal with a lot of sex crimes), this particular subject really hits a nerve with me.


The man is a pig.

I was at my local store today...they have them in stock and i paid a $200 deposit...the showed me the box/phone and wrapped the receipt around it and taped it to the box...so i WILL have it as soon as they can sell it!!!

I just found something on the main website of the Galaxy Nexus!!!!

On the main screen, bullets 2-3 all say "Buy Now" instead of Register! Not sure what this means, but they could be close to release.

Galaxy Nexus (Fixed the link)

Nice, but when I clicked on the "Buy Now" button, all I got was a drop down window to register again.

 

[jbdan]

I really hope that doesn't turn out to be true. I'm leaving the country that morning...

I'm just going off my guy (who seems really cool about this whole fiasco) I've built a good rapport with. Doesn't mean anything, but always welcome to see

Not to mention, it is great for those times in the restroom. I have it with me in the house all the time though.

 

[IHateMyTreo]

You are probably correct. But they do do CDMA. And I still hold to my statement that if the phone's model number was i515 and I had the funds and I was there, I would have been severly tempted . . . . .

I may be wrong. Looks like Bell has some LTE. According to their website:

"...the Bell network, which uses UMTS, HSPA and HSPA+ at 850 MHz and 1900 MHz, or LTE technology at 1700 AWS."

The specs on the Canadian GN say that it uses "HSPA+/3G/EDGE/GPRS." No mention of LTE.

Telus is the only real CDMA carrier in Canada AFAIK (that's VZW's roaming partner), and they don't carry the GN so far.

Online. I'm a bird-in-the-hand kind of person.

 

[jasaero]

Nah, that spike on 11/11 was just due to the fact that that was the day the RAZR was released. I don't think bootloader lockage has an effect on mainstream popularity of a product

Agreed, but until someone attacks VZW over my second point I have to rely on consumer demands of the first which was more a wish than a point.

 

[teddyearp]

I'm going to bed. You guys need to slow down with the rapid fire posts so I can have a chance to catch up tomorrow...

Let me know how that works out for you . . . .lol.

Oh lord, now I will never see him! LOL

Wait, I need instant gratification. I want to confirm my unlimited data at Verizon. I don't want to chance paying for it and it being delayed for some odd reason then not getting it.

That has been discussed in about 10 different posts lol.

 

[cole924]

Here we are again. Another midnight. Another day waiting for news.

@TKEnzy... what hill is your avatar?

Okemo - I see you're reppin old school Never Summer. Big fan of the graphic on the Heritage this year, bringing back the flag logo and adding on a matte finish with a minimalist design. Very nice touch to a great board.

The man is a pig.

Let me re-phrase...I don't care to see anyone get hurt...it's just that, I would like to see him out of football. I don't think people like that should be rewarded with fame and millions of dollars. Hell, he may end up in the hall of fame and his "legacy" live on forever, when, IMHO, he should be rotting in a jail cell somewhere in middle GA.

 

[mobgob]

At this point I would just be happy with a Press Release from Verizon giving us the release date. That's all I ask. That way I know when I can get it. (hopefully)

I hope you put them all in the pokey (no pun intended) for a really long time! I used to work in a prison, even other prisoners don't like sex offenders.

 

[DrexelDragon]

Ugh. The worst part is that tomorrow morning we were all supposed to have our precious phones.

 

[IHateMyTreo]

Isn't this about when the 3rd Shift comes on duty and the chatter switches to beer and bourbon?

 

[wahoo95]

Oooh, wow, that's quite the dilemma... I would probably buy it in store that day. I don't think there's too much demand in Toledo, OH for this phone, and if there is, we actually have two corporate stores that I can check with

I would be devastated if it was unavailable in store and then later online too though...

When I am at the store on Conant, I will be asking to meet The Roosevelt.........and the Galaxy Nexus

 

[Premium1]

Thanks, peeps. So why is the 15th the magic number?

My Rezound is still within the 14 day period should it drop on the 15th (or do I have until Jan 15th? I can't keep this stuff straight). If it doesn't come out I don't know what I"m gonna do. I don't tihnk I'm sticking with the Rezound.

Because it is a week after the 9th and when people are wrong with a date they just move it back a week

I was snooping around on testman and a chat window popped up which has never happened before so I clicked on it not thinking it would do anything, but I was wrong.

Josh K: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Jeff: Hi. I wanted to order the Galaxy Nexus tonight.
Josh K: While we appritiate your tenacity for our newest and brightest innovative technology, but at this time, all reports on the Galaxy Nexis being released for pre-order today is false, please check back at any time to check the website for updates.You can also put your email in here...(Register ? Galaxy Nexus)
Jeff: thanks!

The part in red popped up IMMEDIATELY after I typed my question. It is most certainly a copy paste. Seems they are a bit prepared for us.
