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

[BlueBiker]

It's a sign. The powers that be want you to get a GNex

I honestly feel your pain , but maybe Duncan is right and it's a sign. At least tell that to yourself and maybe you'll feel a little bit better.

Hey man.. just keep F5'ing.. They go quick too.. I was in the process of ordering it atleast two times and when I was filling out the information it removed the phone from my cart.

Heh, thanks guys. I kept trying and finally got it to add... but then it tells me my account doesn't qualify me. Hey CostCo, how 'bout noticing that I'm on a family plan w/two fully eligible upgrade lines way past their 22mo?

On hold for customer support now. Hopeful, but not expecting this to work out.

FWIW, Rezound will give me 90% of what I want from Nexus right now, moving toward 95% when it gets ICS. I suspect Nexus will have the same real-world sharpness of Rezound and better colors, but the killer $50 price and removable microSD made this an easy choice.

can you imagine what it would have been like if they released the gnex today?

I would be on my couch playing with the phone right now instead of responding.

I'd be playing with the phone and have my computer or iPad for whatever thread we are meeting in once we have them

This is BlueBiker's next step.

With pleasure. I share well.

Oh wait, verizon is holding my phone hostage. You'll have to come get it until negotiations are complete

 

[Les NexMan]

Thinking, dreaming, worrying, obsessing over this phone has taken up so much of my time lately.

I WANT MY LIFE BACK!

 

[BabyBlues]

This is BlueBiker's next step.

Don't do that!

I was at exact same point today, my line eligible 12/29 but 2 lines over 22 months. I talked to VZ about moving upgrade around so I could qualify using Costco but they said no can do. Interested to know how you make out.

Mercy~!

So....my 14 year old is over here running circles around me with her Atrix II going Nanny Nanny Boo Boo! She is on her MoM's at&t network.

What a phone! After I tripped her and wrestled it from her and got her french fry and who knows what else prints off the screen I stroked it and wow. And @ $99.00!

The camera is not the same as the OG droid that's for sure. The shutter button is stiff and has no focus lock detent but once you get used to it developing a way to keep it still because of the stiff button the images blow away my OG Droids camera.

The launcher has this weird icon highlighter effect at screen changes that makes me only want vanilla even more.

The phone is very fast.

She deserves it. If you have a teenage daughter that is a straight A student in the advanced classes, does not lie, steal, complain, sneak out at night, smoke dope, or is pregnant, get her any phone she wants.

Ladies & Gentleman....My Reason for Living.....

i assume costco is not allowed to do alternate upgrades? i know best buy and radio shack can, sucks for those trying to cash in on that $50 deal though

Wow...you have every right to be proud...she's a beauty!

 

[The_Chief]

Got one too. We are truly fortunate to be parents to such great kids.

Looks like you did something right to have a youngun raised up like that. WELL DONE!

Thanks, We have it handled. I seem to produce awesome looking offspring. My oldest has done modeling for Anheuser-Busch and Honda Motors to name a couple, and in her twilight years she did time with the home shopping network.

What qualifies for a "loyalty" discount from Verizon? I get the usual $30.00 off upgrade price but is the loyalty discount in addition to that? I've been with Verizon for about 20 years...I would think that qualifies as being loyal!
