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

[tangodelt7]

Went to my local Corporate store and talked to a guy I went to high school with who is a sales rep. He said he had heard nothing firm. Went to the back to look for the dummy phone for me to hold. He emerged with the store test phone!! I got to play with it for 5 minutes. The store manager walked over and said he had no idea on release. Reading between the lines, they made it sound like it was in stock. The phone exceeded my expectations, I cannot wait to but it.

I don't have tactical gear per se. But I was born with weapons.

My riot gear still smells like pepper spray. Oh well.

Verizon is trying out their new "Silent Fart" release strategy.

He who smellt it, dealt it.

I think they're playing "Gym, Tanning, Who's-the-Rat"

They told all their stores and all their CSRs different stories, so they can tell who is leaking info based on what story gets out!

I just found this through a twitter page, but its obviously faked...would be nice though

another verison PR today. Verizon Releases Official Statement Regarding Galaxy Nexus, But It Doesn

 

[alee0729]

FWIW: Called VZW Corp store (NYC) and she confirmed tomorrow is the day. Told me to be there as soon as I can get there. "Were good to go for liftoff!"

Which one?! I'm headed to 34th St tomorrow morning but they haven't confirmed anything yet.

I have figured out when the Galaxy Nexus will be available.

Remember when people were claiming it was going to come out on 12/12 at 12:12, they were on the right track but Verizon is going after something different then day of the week and month of the year since they've done that before. The clue is that the only real press release they done since the announcement that has really mentioned the Galaxy Nexus has been the one talking about tomorrow, 12/15, being the LTE anniversary. So the the Galaxy Nexus should release on 12/15 at 12:15.
.... or not, I may just be grasping at straws but the good news is that 4G is officially launching in my area on 12/15 so I have that to look forward to once I can replace my OG Droid.

It's as good a ploy as any other they thought of

Which one in NY?

FWIW.........N.W. Ohioans
I just left the Perrysburg corporate store. They have a display unit to see (Mgr had to get it from the back) and was told by said manager they have 60 in stock.

Did they mention a release tomorrow?

 

[AntimonyER]

So anyone else think the CSRs who said, not sure, but definitely NOT tomorrow, are CSRs who are not working tomorrow? Just sayin.

 

[nismo300zx96]

Hello to all - been lurking forever in anticipation of this phone!! My OG Droid no longer has a functioning speaker or microphone....so pleaseeee hope the RI VZW stores will sell this phone tomorrow! Really tiring having people call me when I cant respond back!!!

I just put one on hold at the Verizon in East Providence on Taunton Ave. He said that they are 100% definitely releasing the phone tomorrow. This is after 7 other stores told me they are not. Go figure

 

[irontoes]

Which one?! I'm headed to 34th St tomorrow morning but they haven't confirmed anything yet.

There's one on 43rd & Madison. I was going there before heading out to Long Island for the company Xmas Party.

I would love to go there and have Ice Cream in da pocket.

Which one? This would be the first I've heard from a corp store.

 

[49er]

Wow, really Verizon? Really?

 

[ckelly33]

My local store is a third party reseller-type store. They have none and no word. I am first on the list though, FWIW.

I hope it isn't 12:15 I will be on my way to work! Well unless they let west coast stores sell it at east coast 12:15 then I may be lucky

I decided last week my business for my Nexus is going to Radio Shack because the manager there has been honest with me from day 1 and even put my name on the one in stock and let me unbox it last week. All the VZW stores in the area have lied through their teeth claiming they don't know, don't have stock, yada yada...even one being just plain rude saying "I have no information for you".

I decided to give my local VZW one last chance to come clean and earn the opportunity to get the sale for my wife's upgrade. They still claim they know nothing. They're done. If this phone comes out tomorrow, they will never get a dime of my money again.

I get what you are saying....

But Verizon will be getting your money for the next 2 years...

 

[WheresTheBeef]

I called the one in Warrington. Going to try Willow Grove a little later...

Called that one a couple days ago and got zilch. Same with Montgomeryville and Quakertown. Maybe I'll have to give it another shot this afternoon...

 

[jasaero]

WTF dude they announced the white razr and not the gnex?

My thought's exactly while looking through the new press releases.

 

[HanSolo]

Guys, Cheetara just texted me:

Some corp stores are saying they have no info, because they're not allowed to and they take their job really seriously. Others are giving out info b/c they don't care. But tomorrow is definite.

Good enough for me.

 

[civicsisedan]

NewsFLASH:

A thought: Some VZW Corporate stores are saying they don't know anything because the company that they work for (VERIZON) has not released anything officially. So they don't know anything officially. If they based off rumors that would be lying when you take it as fact and it does not pan out.

All the other VZW reps and 3rd party retailers are just reiterating rumors saying it is coming out tomorrow because they want THE COMMISSION for appearing friendly and knowing.

So my question is:

Would you rather buy from a rep that scheduled an appointment for you on the 9th and cancelled, and now the 15th and cancelled.

Or would you rather buy from the VZW corp employee that is following guidelines and rules and mentions nothing until it is confirmed?

 

[EFRANKTANK]

I know this was posted before... but does anyone know the link to the amazonwireless page that should be selling the phone if it does come out tomorow?

Or they may really not have any information for you...

 

[MSUgEEk]

I was 100% sure of the release of this phone tomorrow but my confidence has dropped significantly. I still think there's a chance, but it's small. I got the same rep on the phone that had told me last week that it was tentatively scheduled for the 9th but there was a chance it would be delayed. She told me that there is absolutely nothing set right now and they aren't allowed to divulge tentative dates anymore because of the bad PR they were getting from it.

She said all they are ALLOWED to say is it will be out 100% sure before Christmas.

 

[shinkle]

Excited for you VZW people to finally get your hands on this. It truly is a great device. Screen is unbelievable!
