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

Not open for further replies.
Ok, so let me get this straight. We are ~24 hours from one of the largest Android launches in US history (A Nexus on Verizon with ICS, a major OS overhaul) and yet we've received no official word from Verizon, no advertising, nothing on their website, no PRs, conflicting stories from resellers and CSRs, etc. etc. Color me skeptical. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect there are going to be MANY disappointed folks in here tomorrow.
 
OT: Computer Science
If anyone here is good with C# / ASP.net and your looking for a quick freelance job, PM me! Again, you must know C# and ASP.Net

they usually just have universal holsters, they do have one that fits but it fits too weirdly since the phone is thin and has that curve. I bought it but then returned it

You sure about that, the incredible and thunderbolt both have custom holsters.

I feel the same way, I really hope I am wrong but it is really hard to believe that NOTHING has been said....:(

Verizon. Say it with me. Verizon. That is all.

Thanks for the link! I just ordered "Matte Back Black TPU Case & Screen Protector for Galaxy Nexus". I would have never thought about ordering it before hand, but that's obviously the better way to do it!

Yeah, I have had really good customer service from them... I have a TPU case for my Bionic w/ extended battery and, as far as I'm concerned, the case is perfect!

I use my OG Droid as my alarm clock, using it on it's dock. It decided to freeze at 2:53AM, so it never reached 5:45 when my alarm would wake me up. My carpool in the morning showed up at my house at 7 AM thinking I had died since I wasn't picking up my phone either (still frozen!). They proceeded to ring the doorbell a billion times, with me looking at my clock to see it's 2:53AM and I thought that my house was on fire or something (why else would someone be ringing my doorbell at 3AM on a Wed morning?!)

Moral of the story - I need this Galaxy Nexus NOW! Must destroy OG Droid immediately!

OMG this cracked me up!!! What a way for you to start your day...I have a feeling there will be a better ending to it for you and for all of us GNexers!!
 
Will stuff like the dock and the tpu case still work with the extended battery? I know it barely adds any bulk to it.. but just a little can make a big difference.
 
OT:
Anyone else getting some of these at 11am EST? I'm gonna get two, one for my collection and one to turn into a Christmas Tree ornament!

Stupid Hartford only has a Wireless Zone - Verizon Reseller downtown. Chances are they will have it in, but I won't be able to use my new every two discount which would suck. Stupid boring Hartford!
 
Checking in on the Nexy-Eve from the west coast....gonna keep watch on the PR and the site....really need this phone soon, as my OG knows its being replaced, and totally dying.
Is there anyone else in the Santa Barbara, CA area? Just want to make sure I will be the first in line....
(another VZW store story...) 1 of the local corp stores has called 3 times in the last 2 days to let me know a phone is waiting for me on Thurs....
 
I believe this was mentioned before, but the press release for the Bionic was September 7 and released on the 8th. I couldn't tell from the PR what time it was released though.
 
Good Morning all! I have been getting ready to retire my DroidX for the nexus and was considering how to transfer everything stored on the sd card to the Nexus. I am thinking about using Dropbox or maybe WiFi Explorer. Any one else have any thoughts?

I don't know about the dock, but I'll be able to tell you about the extended battery just as soon as I get my Nexus!! In any case, I've already spoken with the owner of TPU Cases, and he will be producing an extended battery case if the current case doesn't work with the extended battery. My take on it is - how can you go wrong for the price? (mine cost me $9.90 with free shipping - they may have gone up in price though)

Edit: Hey! I finally made it to "Senior Member" status!! WOOT!
 
OT

Embarrassed to ask, but it has been so long...

Where do you go to change your AVATAR? Either my coffee hasn't kicked in or I'm half-******ed (probably the latter) but I can't find it in my profile settings. Thanks!
