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

Usually they sell wireless on the ship at a cheaper rate than offered by Verizon.

I never use minutes anyway, I was referring to texts/data in particular

I don't mean to sound like a noob. but what does ninja'd mean? Is it like 'owned'? or.

Basically, someone beats you to a post...like answering or otherwise. Like this was probably ninja'd or I ninja'd someone else.

Although I am still optimistic about Thursday, I am also nervous. We should have heard something from Verizon by now. This is their flagship device. You do not keep something like that silent. That's just bad marketing. Here's hoping for hearing something tomorrow and a release on Thursday. *Raises Glass of Stolichnaya*

Hopefully that means we will hear something tomorrow! I want to believe..I truly DO

That Was a good book. Good series actually.

You're referring to the Riverworld series, correct? In which case, good series indeed.

Contact info removed

Yeah, stupid phone copied too much, and was ninja'd before I even got a chance to correct it....

I'm excited for the 15th. I've got my new avatar picked out for when I make my I got my GNEX post.

it's this websites way of saying repost. I think it's nerdy, but whatever.

"give it about a week if you are not in a hurry to get the phone"

OMG ROFLMAO

Yeah, I would definitely wait a week to get those bugs resolved and issues stamped out.

When the info you're posting is already posted by someone else. Most likely such as my post will be ninja'd numerous times because my wifi is apparently slower than a snail

Makes sense, thanks

Take a look around. Do you SEE where you are? I mean...seriously?

Edit: I figured they might let people slide considering the Bahamas is a U.S. Territory

Just FYI (not trying to be a jerk) - The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is a sovereign nation, they were previously a territroy of the UK, but gained independance in the 1970s.. In the Carribean there are the US Virgin Islands (US, obviously) and Puerto Rico which is self-governing entity but is a US territory. I know TMO does not consider it roaming to go to USVI or PR, but I am not sure about other carriers. I'd be suprised if they didn't follow suit.

edit: HOW THE FRAK DO I EVEN GET NINJAD ON THIS!!!!

De-lurking to say a few things:

1) The above made me laugh out loud. Ninja'd indeed!
2) You people really are a nice bunch. Props for a friendly forum!
3) Many thanks to all who posted and re-posted about the $100 promo. I just got my eligibility confirmed by a CSR (I'm in Lansing, MI, Go Spartans). To those who have saved me money, I salute you.
4) To those still rocking to an OG Droid, +1. Hang tough, brothers and sisters!
5) Got my fingers crossed for Thursday.

Nope. Was referrinng to the series by Mary Janice Davidson.

 

[bp08]

Definitely not waiting a week here whenever it's available.

Can't they just do updates and fixes through OTA? Sorry kind of a newb so sorry if this is a dumb question

Who do you think you are Baby Blues??

 

[Old Member]

Just think in 2 hours and 42 minutes we can say that our phone comes tomorrow!

 

[tluley51]

So the fact that the 15th hasn't been shot down yet is giving me hope that the 15th is actually the day. This time last week, Thursday and Friday both were already shot down...

 

[Mormonstang]

Just because it's a phone forum, it doesn't mean everyone is nerdy. People like to stay informed, like I.

 

[EarlyMon]

Welcome to the forums, Infinityman!

 

[trav473]

I'm starting to think that Verizon has decided to follow the Underpants Gnomes business plan for the Galaxy Nexus:

Phase 1: Get US exclusivity for Google's newest flagship phone

Phase 2: ?????????????

Phase 3: Profit!

OMG you killed kenny!!!!

 

[Kenahng]

I'm really getting discouraged. Every corporate store I called says there is no release date.

 

[EmotionalNinja]

Not sure if this is new...

Google has a "Buy Now" button on their Nexus page now.

Yeah, the phone gets updated OTA, but I think that person is referring to any launch bugs/issues that may arise (there's always something with every phone).
