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

[Trooper]

Still no firm date huh?

 

[Steven58]

Leak doesn't imply a maybe. You know what does? Actually using the word "maybe. "

It does in this case.

 

[HanSolo]

hmmm.....I was actually thinking it might point to disturbing event or dysfunctional relationship in your formative years.

Nah. I just have a good memory for how they looked as kids. A little creepy.

 

[HanSolo]

Did you say you received word from someone about the 15th? If so, which store? None near me are saying anything...

Michigan and Illinois.

 

[jasaero]

Anyone see this? This guy got a GNex sold to him at a Best Buy and they wanted it back, but after negotiating with them, he refused to return it. I'm still a bit confused why letting these out the door early is such a HUGE deal??

I think I'll take a break from this thread for the night. I've got to go back to school tomorrow and take some tests/hand in some assignments so I'll try to be as unoccupied with this as possible until the day we finally get this thing!

BTW, I have my farewell post all primed and ready to post this Thursday

It's only getting better. The most recent episode was epic! Claire Danes has done a great job with her role IMO.

Completely agree. Show is fantastic. Claire Danes' upset/angry face is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life. It was hard to look at in the last scene of Sunday's episode

 

[HanSolo]

The actress that plays his wife, from the "V" show is hotter than lava.

Eh. A bit skeletal for my taste.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but:

Swappa (Android) Galaxy Nexus (Unlocked) Device Specs

Swappa now has the Galaxy Nexus (or at least the ability to buy/sell it; we need to wait for listings to start popping up).

GSM versions don't count IMHO.

Michigan and Illinois.

Which one in Illinois? I would like to give them a jingle so I can confirm this for myself. None here in the Orland Park area are giving anything up...PM it to me if you don't mind?

 

[ckeegan]

I honestly love all this "scheduling appointments" stuff.

Yeah, I just called McDonalds, and scheduled an appointment for Thursday. They said my McMuffin will be ready and waiting for me!

 

[CaptainRon]

Is that the one with the chick from Brothers & Sisters?

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit I know the answer to that.

Yes.

 

[jestexman]

So my rep told me to come in Thursday i said great!! I aksed what is the deal did you just get an email on this phone.. her words

"yes we got an email"

Yup PM me too. I'd like to know where I could pick one up if the local TCC doesn't have it

 

[timetoroot]

I talked to a Verizon rep last night (called *611) and he found the promo deal we are talking about "3g to 4g" promo $100 off. Stated it was only for the Chicago land area and that it would not apply to me (I live in Denver). I have the strong feeling that anyone who got it "noted" on their account will not be getting it. If you read the promo's wording, they are linked to a phone number. Doubt they will be just handing out a $100 credit to a brand new in demand phone, but I could be wrong.

When I got the mailer I called Verizon and asked the rep if I could use the $100 in addition to my last NE2 and he said yes. After seeing Gapi's post I called again and the rep said it was in fact just an account credit reminder as Gapi stated. At least I found out now and not when I got to purchase the phone.

 

[kastleberg]

It does in this case.

Oooohhh. I see what you did. You used all caps and extra exclamation points to emphasize the maybe. Sorry. I'm slow.

 

[breadnatty08]

The RadioShack in Columbia Heights said they'd be selling today?

If so, count me in!

I was there around lunch time so I doubt the same guy will be there when I go tonight. I had do deactivate my wife's phone so I wasn't able to do it then. Granted, I'm sure it'll get hung up on either activating or paying for but I'm going anyway.

 

[HanSolo]

Completely agree. Show is fantastic. Claire Danes' upset/angry face is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life. It was hard to look at in the last scene of Sunday's episode

Ugliest thing?

Have you seen this?

Spoiler

Or this?

But yeah. Very hard to watch. I think she's going to snag an Emmy for her role.

 

[The_Chief]

Okay, I stopped into my Verizon store and talked to My Rep about Thursday. (S)he told me that Thursday is a GO! and that (s)he would be there to sell me one! Just to make sure, My Rep consulted another rep, AND the computer system, and yes. Thursday it is!

So everyone start preparing your final poems and statements as we get ready to close this epic adventure together. Because unless I get a call from My Rep to the contrary, this roller coaster FINALLY ends Thursday!

 

[m1scr3ant]

Yup PM me too. I'd like to know where I could pick one up if the local TCC doesn't have it

I'm not worried about picking one up from this store...I'm worried about hearing it for myself!

 

[Nessier]

Dang! I love mine, I have a 50 upstairs and a 46 downstairs. Both great!

EDIT: OT sorry
I have a 42" Samsung plasma, and got my dad a 42" Panasonic plasma last winter...I've seen many TVs, and have a good eye for picture quality, and I really love the picture that plasma puts out. Add in how budget-friendly plasma sets are and I'll be sad to see their availability decrease.

Crazy how far we've come where a 42" TV that is 4" thick and pushing 90 lbs is considered too hefty/bulky, but I guess that is how technology is.

 

[HanSolo]

Which one in Illinois? I would like to give them a jingle so I can confirm this for myself. None here in the Orland Park area are giving anything up...PM it to me if you don't mind?

No, it's downtown, on Michigan Ave and Illinois Ave.

I'll PM you the number though.

For a woman who is good looking like Claire is, her upset face is shocking!

I don't know about pulling down an Emmy, but a nomination is definitely well deserved
