I tried to get the model number off their site but couldn't find it. But given that they advertise it as a global phone, and these specs, there's no way it's gonna work on VZW. Here are the specs:

Connectivity
Compatible with the HSPA+ network
Download speeds: up to 21 Mbps
HSPA/UMTS: 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Global access
Wi-Fi
GPS
Bluetooth

I work as a Customer Service Rep for Verizon. Please, stop and listen to this man. We have no more information that what you guys do. I'm just a tech nerd like the rest of you. I spend my breaks and my evenings in this thread, trying to find out information just like the rest of you.

The volatile conversations really need to stop. The people you are talking to would love nothing more than to help you, seriously. The CSRs don't make commission for selling phones and upgrades, but they do make us look better in front of our supervisors, and who doesn't want that? What I'm trying to say is if we could sell you the phone, WE WOULD! It benefits us as much as it does you!

Lastly, PLEASE do not give bad ratings to representatives like the man on the previous page that laughed about giving a "0". The surveys that are sent out/called out after an encounter with a CSR are literally what we are graded by. It effects our pay. Significantly. You giving a 0 on a survey out of some misguided spite over a release date that was never announced didn't hurt Verizon as a company, but it did adversely effect the REGULAR PERSON you were talking to. It is highly likely that you just chipped off some money off their salary.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to lurking so I can find out more information about when this phone is coming out. Keep digging! I want that phone!

Well just out of fun I took the "playing dumb" approach and this is what I got.

Kamisha M.: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Ashley: I was wondering if Verizon will still carry the galaxy nexus. I haven't heard anything from VZW about it since they said they will carry it...that was nearly a month ago.
Kamisha M.: I'll be happy to assist you with the nexus
Kamisha M.: I'm not sure if they will be releasing this phone or not, I'm sorry
Ashley: So its possible this phone wont even be released on Verizon?
Kamisha M.: It may or may not. I can't grantee it
Ashley: Wow...okay. Thats kinda shocking. There was a contract with Google I thought. Well...thanks I guess?
Kamisha M.: You are welcome. Keep checking in though!
Ashley: Oh, I will...






Can't accept that!!

Seems that my CSR isn't the only one that can't spell. ;)
 
Nick O: The Nexus does not offer are removeable battery.
Nick O: I have the Razr.
Tom: Waitwut...
Tom: no removable battery? yes it does...
Nick O: Have you looked on Gooles load page.
Tom: Yes sir I have.
Nick O: The phone is to thin for a Removable battery.
Tom: The Nexus? Its 9mm thick...that's not that thin...and has a removable battery. I am sure of it.

Woah woah woah....Wait a minute...

That's what I meant. Maybe I worded it wrong. I was trying to say if a 4g device is coming out tomorrow but the nexus isn't, we can no longer say the delay is due to the recent 4g outage or the xyboard would also be delayed :-)
Click to expand...

Ah, ok, I got ya.

All right Nexies, I'm calling it a night. Hopefully this phone comes out before the 15th so I can pick it up before I leave the country, but if it doesn't, eh, what can a guy do.

Whatever happens, happens, at this point.

"This too shall pass" :D
 
The saddest thing about this whole thing is that I am now contemplating if we will actually reach 100k posts before we get this phone in our hands...

Who would've thunk it?

Oh yea u got me beat lol. That thing sounds like a rocket. Im pushing 478hp at the wheels...might be time for some bigger turbos

Drives completely stock until you get on it, then your head gets slammed back.

When I put the meth kit in, I can turn the boost up a little bit and probably get close to 700hp. Most likely I'll just keep it the same and use the meth as a safety factor though. I'm happy where the car is right now.
 
If you are referring to me......I didn't laugh and I didn't give a "0". I gave the technician that helped me high ratings. I gave the question, "How likely would you recommend Verizon to family and friends?" a 5. I had a manger call me back. And after the way he talked down to me and treated me, I'd change that 5 to -10. I sent emails to some on the executive team. I would love for someone to take a big chip out of HIS pay.

And rexdog, i know, haha im sorry. Sometimes my humor might be too much, but I was also kind of making fun of myself for caring so much about a phone when there are much bigger problems in the world

not to pick on you but I would like to quote our guide...

This is actually a nice little segway since I was just about to address this as a general comment.

Previously, there was a time in this thread where people started posting thier chat logs with Verizon. It seemed that became a one-ups-man thing, and people started to out do each other, each time getting more and more harrassing to the CSRs.

It went south, real quick, and the mods handed out some infractions, and there was a cease and desist for ALL verizon chat logs. That was later modified that you could post up a chat, as long as you were polite to the CSRs and didn't hound them for information they don't have.

I'm starting to see this heading the wrong direction again.

Put quite simply, be polite. But the harsh reality is they don't know anything. You have every right to do what you want in your personal life, but that doesn't mean you should post it here.

and this, from a self proclaimed csr...

Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250

I just called tech support and the rep said an unlocked nexus will work for Verizon 3g but not lte.

I wish you were right, but tech support sometimes knows less than we do. GSM phones do not work on a CDMA network. Unless we're missing something new.

The beach at the end of the road is wonderful - love the banyon trees there. :)

Beautiful shot, thanks for sharing it - Kauai is my my favorite! :)

Ok, like Steven.. not quite off to bed yet..

Kauai is awesome, but I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite of the Hawaiian Islands. Was my brother-in-law and sister's favorite though, they bought land near Kealia.
