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

Does Anyone Know if Best Buy will have it Available tomorrow as Well? Here in Florida I tried 3 and all of them did not know of a Release Date???

No one knows trust me

I'm still in the "12/15 camp", but this doesn't seem like something we would want to be happening right now.

On the contrary, I think we definitely DO want it. When we all buy our Nexuses tomorrow, the OTA update will be ready when we activate the phones. This is in stark contrast to the few who have managed to get one already but have been stuck with the original 4.0.1 build. Tomorrow the phone will be ready to update right out of the box.

Woo hoo, finally caught up, now to lunch So I can fall way behind again, lol!

That was a downright impressive post right there. the art of quoting.


edit: irony, i broke the quote (fixed now)

lol!
Thanks! I learned from the best, our own BB.

Ok, so I am doing the simulator, and the person who did the manage applications HAS to be a tech guru who hates bloatware. The demo on where to go to uninstall an app goes to a VZW bloatware app! Score!

 

[crt134]

I can only assume that Verizon doesn't really care how well the GN sells and may actually prefer that it not sell well at the expense of the Razr and thus the lack of promo/information from Verizon. I wonder if their sales staff will still be pushing Razrs on unsuspecting customers after the GN launches. Anyone know if the Razr commercials are Verizon or Motorola sponsored?

Which device the sales people push will depend on the device Verizon gives them more commission for. They gave sales people higher commission for an Iphone when that came in Spring 2010 as opposed to the Thunderbolt that launched relatively close to that. If they get more money for a Razr they will push that, just depends. Otherwise, the sales people just want you to walk out with a phone.

I hate to be the one to post this, but I just got a text from my rep telling me it just got delayed again. I'm flabbergasted!! We had set up an appointment yesterday and at 11:00 am today she texted me today that it was still a go. Hopefully she is wrong, but I doubt it.


PS - off to humbabe practice....so I'm not ignoring anyone if I don't reply to questions. Prove my rep wrong guys!!!!! PLEASE PROVE HER WRONG!!!!!!!

Not worried about your misinformed rep, the REAL question is what is HUMBABE Practice?

1. humbabe 13 up, 9 down
An extremely attractive male that is built; often an athlete, likely a baseball player. Combination of "babe" meaning hot, and the baseball cheer "hum-babe" meaning "Come on (batter)." Humbabe originated from "Come on Babe (Ruth)"

Try downtown...they are holding one for me.

Nice... thank you. Just talked to Tim down there and he has information. I like it.

Afternoon, Nexicans! (Good morning for me haha)

So, a little concerning information to pass along:

I called three local VZW stores and asked if they knew about a release tomorrow or if they had a demo I could look at. Here are the responses I got:

Store 1:
We have heard rumors of a tomorrow release date but do not know for certain. We do not have a demo. We will have stock tomorrow, just not certain of how much.

Store 2:
We have heard rumors that tomorrow is the release date but not certain that will hold true. We do not have any in stock and do not know when we'll be getting them.

Store 3:
We haven't heard anything about a release date. We do not have a demo and do not have any in stock right now.

Now, having said all that, I am going to take all responses with a grain of salt. I spoke to sales rep at store 3 last night and he told me to my face that they do have stock, but cannot bring them out until release date. Or perhaps I should take his response with NaCl. GAH I'M SO CONFUSED! SGN, please to be coming out tomorrow!

(all locations were in SE Michigan, Detroit Metro area, FWIW)

where in SE Michigan?

I'm wearing my leopard print heels for this special occasion.

Steven.... I second that.

Nice!!
I'm in a noticeable (but still tasteful) suit!

 

[foreWard]

yes, simulator is a good sogn...still blows my mind they could do anything this unorganized.....its like verizon is a small mom and pop shop, and mom and pop are in the middle of a divorce or something....

 

[Toonz]

I will be at my VZW store at 7:30 tomorrow morning!!!! VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vaetix]

I was actually starting to have a sinking feeling about tomorrow, but this simulator is a good sign.

C'mon, let's all mentally channel the phone's release tomorrow.

"Oohmmmmm oohmmmmm ohmmmmmmmmmm... Nexusssss"

 

[MrMetachlorian]

Just called two Radio Shacks and a Costco in the New Brunswick, NJ area. None of them had any info at all.

 

[Bowen9284]

I just got confirmation from 2 corp and 2 indirect dealers.

I had to ask the corp guys if they had any demos and they are programmed to answer "we dont put any phones out that have not been released yet" so then tomorrow would be better? "Yes"

 

[jimmypop13]

Just called three local corporate stores. All confirmed that tomorrow is the day!! Woohoo!! No appointments though, they all said first come, first serve

My friend that works at Best Buy here in Cincinnati (the one that almost sold me the Gnex LAST Friday) texted me and told me it was a GO for tomorrow. She texted me yesterday with that information.

Western suburbs...livonia/novi/plym/canton/farmhills/northville area

Droid Life just posted the simulator spotting.


Which means Kellex reads our forum - hey Kellex, nice work with DL

 

[BtBommer]

Not sure if the fellow Columbus-ites have posted on this, but the Easton AND Polaris stores both confirmed they have a "crap load" (not kidding, the guy at Polaris said this) of them in stock; however only POLARIS said they are launching tomorrow. And I get it, I've seen the 10897243897 posts about why we get different answers, just giving my people a heads up.
