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

Not open for further replies.
This does not make me happy,

The Galaxy Nexus captures 1080p video with mono audio (despite the dual microphone setup).

I wonder why they decided to do mono audio...

2nd mic isn't the same quality I think, it's just there for noise cancellation. Therefore I don't think it would be ideal for actually capturing audio in a video.
 
I'll go back and check - I was reading the early release long before Engadget reported it. So, either it changed, I am wrong, or Engadget mis-reported - any of which is likely and possible. (Although I'll bet I'm wrong unless/until I post otherwise. ;) )

That's it, go google it! bwahahaha :D
 
This is going to sound crazy, since it seems no one else around here caught it, but...

About 15 minutes ago I checked vzw.com/galaxynexus as I normally do, not really expecting anything to have changed. Of course by now I'm used to it redirecting to Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0 Smartphone | Verizon Wireless which is the full length URL of the sign-up page. Imagine my surprise when THIS TIME I was redirected to:

http://shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=Samsung Nexus

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Unfortunately, it wouldn't load anything. I even tried another computer to see if it was some sort of fluke. NOPE! vzw.com/galaxynexus redirected to the same shop page, but nothing loaded.

Seems to me like a launch might have been coded into the system to automatically happen tonight. Unfortunately, someone at VZ must have taken notice because the redirect is back to the sign up page. They had me going there for a minute...

Dude! This is amazing. I think we'll see something tonight; it brings up a blank screen (not even an error page or anything). Perhaps they're uploading the site/readying it as we speak?

Oh. My. God. We could be witnessing history right here, right now.
 
In other news, XYBoard is now available for order. As in, right this instant:
Set Your Location

I'm gonna go to sleep now... I've been up studying for a Spanish quiz I have first thing tomorrow morning ;)
BTW my paper was extended until Friday :D :D :D If the phone drops tomorrow I can play with it without being stressed whatsoever.

I love your Scoptimism but I need bed. Please don't get my hopes up like that.

And you should be in bed too mister!!

Good catch. I'm still getting redirected to the new, blank page. Very interesting...

Not to stir up unwarranted drama, as this is most likely nothing, but it *is* only 1 hour from midnight PST...
 
When will this roller coaster ride ever end!?! :( I think we're on a loop of KingdaKa where our anticipations rise so quickly to fall even faster. Verizon - Rule the Air Ruining the Android (Nexus)

Love your enthusiasm, but nope...this was happening this morning. And another member pointed out that you can type anything in the url to replace "Samsung Nexus" and the page that comes up is a blank white page with the same title in the Title Bar.

For instance, go here. http://shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=Poop Salad

Now, I ain't buying no poop salad from Verizon. :D

It's possible that they were testing out re-directs and the page you posted will eventually hold a redirect to the "Place Order" page, but every syntax you throw into that URL returns the same results. No news on this front...

Lol gotta love it. You're like the dog from the "It's not bacon, it's BEGGIN strips" commercial.


BACON BACON BACON BACON!!!

I'm getting so depressed regarding this whole thing. I'm still waiting on an upgrade eligible dumb phone account (for the past 6 months) waiting for the GS2 and now the SGN...My wife didn't even want a smartphone initially and she already has her 4s...and she keeps flaunting it.

I'm an extremely loyal customer, but I'm secretly looking forward to the day when I can take my 5 lines of family share plan...plus my business account (physician lines) away from Verizon.

That isn't the significant part. What's significant is that the redirect from vzw.com/galaxynexus has changed to a page that is apparently blank. I agree: most likely this was automatic, and predates the launch change. But we can still hope...
 
We know DEV support for the NP will be through the roof. Yet if VZW doesn't release it then i need to know that the Bionic will get some dev love. If not i guess i'll be carrying around this OGDX for a while longer.

Either way it should be an exciting time for all things Android in the next six months.

Yup should be out the wazoo for the GN. Welcome to AF k9 :)
 
I'm waiting for the inevitable disappointment of 12/9 with my longtime friend Cabo Wabo...hopefully I'll make it through the night. Can't wait to work from 8 pm friday til noon saturday.

At least I'll be closer to the still unconfirmed "newer date"

Good catch bruha. I'd say they definitely meant to have it out today lol, whoops.

Guess maybe there'll be online orders, definitely not counting on being able to get it at a store though.
