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

[vandyman]

Just crazy;
I was at Sams Club today and I checked out the VZW phones they had.
Razr was $288 and they said the price will drop this week.
I asked to see the Rezound and they told me they did not sell the Resound because they are selling the iPhone instead.<<LOL.
I just walked away and laughed.

Learning to Juggle a Galaxy Nexus, Note and S2 [Samsung Mobile Street Squad] - YouTube

WHAT?!#@$%^&*

She probably just said Gorilla glass to put it into perspective for a layman.. everyone knows what "Gorilla glass" means, but some people wouldn't necessarily think that "fortified glass" implies the same toughness.

Yeah but it's not Gorilla Glass and I 100% promise that Corning would be very angry to hear that Verizon reps are telling people that it is. In fact, that's quite illegal. I bet that she doesn't know that it's not Gorilla Glass. That or she was looking at the wrong phone.

Or maybe she is trying to get Verizon sued for the way they screwed up the Nexus launch.

Adding my experience... called *611, talked to a very nice CSR who had no clue what a Galaxy Nexus was. He mentioned the Stratosphere, I said no, not that one... I asked about the $100 discount and mentioned the doorways system, and I acted as polite and dumb as I could muster...

He came back after a while and was all excited about the new Samsung LTE with Ice Cream Sandwich, he mentioned it had been delayed, that it was all secretive, but that it'll be out by this weekend... (The pile of grains of salt is a few feet high next to me, but it was nice hearing it from a CSR unprompted)

He also mentioned both phones on our account have a note in the system approved by his manager to get the $100 discount each. I'll believe it when I see it, but not bad for two calls (first one didn't work). BTW, Colorado. Good luck to everyone.

Ok DONT MAKE FUN OF ME! But what do you guys mean when you use the word "ninja"? I feel so left out, someone fill me in please lol.

 

[soy.lor.n]

Gorilla glass, fortified glass - a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Except Gorilla Glass is a registered trademark and hasn't been around so long that it's the standard name for generic "fortified glass" like Kleenex or Xerox or even moreso Frisbee might be for their respective products.

Dang, What kind of cat did they have to kill to make those blue shoes?

Let us see how many times this answer is ninja'ed -- I guess 5.

And - it means it has been answered multiple times (multiple people are responding to the same question)

 

[wahoo95]

this is to those ppl who were able to get the "3g to 4G promo" .......

after calling 611 several different time, I found a rep who knew about the promo. She called it a "3g to 4G Trade-In" promo and said it involves a $100 gift card as apposed to $100 discount on phone. She said once I get the new phone, they will mail a $100 gift card to me. Did anyone else have it explained to them this way?

EDIT: Im in California

I was told that that the promo and my NE2 could be combined in store or online. No mention of gift card or trade in.

Corning disagrees: Corning's Official Twitter Account Tweets about Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I agree and have seen those responses from Corning. I just thought it was odd that a Samsung rep who is probably checking a Samsung database would say that.

It would seam the Razr may be the first Verizon 4G phone with ICS

Ninja is when someone else if faster than you and posts a comment about the exact same thing you do right before you get to. Like I hope to do to some people with this comment!

ETA: Yes! I was first to reply with an actual answer!

ETA2: Nevermind I'm an idiot and my brain really is melting... kudos to keatre!

also: ninja'd!

Are you getting page not available?

Yep. I honestly am not sure about what this testman page is specifically but I have seen a lot of people on here talk about it and a few people pointed its down. Its interesting because everything works except their list of smartphones. Perhaps they are updating it? (speculation)

I am making this post right now. But I haven't posted it yet. In all likelyhood, I will be ninjad. Ninjad means while you are typing your reply, someone has already beat you too it. I am just going to go ahead and add it as I am sure it has already happened.

**Ninjad**

 

[scottg96]

Why?

Page is down. I guess that means that they could be working on something (considering that the testman site is used to test pages before they go live).

I'm not sure if I'm drooling in lust or crying in envy. Those are gorgeous. Wear them well!

It means someone beat you to the same post.

Spoiler

 

[TKEnzy]

I'm having entirely too good of a time playing with these Verizon URLs. I'm also very easily amused.

Verizon URL Fun!

Good night all. Hopefully I will awake to news of a preorder/actual release date.

If someone posts a link or a response to someone's question after someone else already did so, it is known as getting "ninja'd".

Example:
Person A: "How much will the Nexus cost?"
Person B: "$299"
Person C: "$299 Edit: Ninja'd"

Edit: Yep, ninja'd. LOL

Anyone who cant get the $100 off, just call verizon and ask for the loyalty department, they are in charge of the promotions. I finally got to speak to someone over there, and she gave me it right away.

Do you happen to know their number?
