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

[thecandidate]

NJ reporting in. So the 100.00 discount was a no go for me. After the noting and stuff. Spoke to loyalty dept they couldn't do anything but offered me 2 months of free service FWIW.

 

[LiQUiDBuD]

Just placed my order via VZW.com, for overnight delivery.

It's been fun lurking here over the past 75k posts. What a ride, but I'm glad it's come to a complete stop.

Now I just hope it arrives on FedEx before I close tomorrow or else I guess I'll be staying late.

I'm gonna have to skip ordering from letstalk. Dont trust the overnite shipping, Just tried at amazon with teh free 2 day shipping and poof says delivery date of Dec 29th. so I dunno if letstalk would be able to deliver on their overnite. In store for me.

 

[Drfeetseconds]

Sounds like we should target 45-60 minutes early is what I'm seeing? I don't care about being first, but would rather not be 10th when there are 3 associates working . . .

 

[psybab]

Well, it's been a blast checking this multiple times a day and getting excited with everyone. Now it's my turn to wait for the GSM version to come out

 

[viperman2008]

My store isn't opening until 10, but that's okay. I got into work early today so I can take off a bit early to grab my phone in the afternoon. Gotta pay for this thing somehow

Even after this thread has been locked, I will still keep F5'ing it out of habit.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm on my way!

 

[drpotter2807]

Yay Steven!

 

[The_Chief]

Merry Nexmas fellow Gnexers!

Looks like we won't hit 90k posts... in fact, we'll be hard pressed to hit 89k. And you know what?

ITS OKAY!

Most of us will be far too busy with our Nexi to post much anyway. My store opens at 9 AM CST, so I leave in about 90 minutes to play with Nexus, RAZR and ReZound side-by-side (and to make sure I am first in line for Nexus) and to listen to my son complain about how his Eris so desperately needs replacing... and how I so desperately need to buy HIM a Nexus too so we can beam together.

HA! I say again.... HA! Get off the video games, son, and get a JOB!

So let's go get our Nexi!

 

[RazorSharp]

On line for Nexmas!

This has probably been posted, but just in case it wasn't, a review of the verizon version:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Review - Watch CNET's Video Review

 

[Rippin508]

Don't forget to post some pics if you can.

 

[iLoki]

Merry Nexmas all!

I'll have mine after lunch sometime, arranging a store pickup on the corporate account! :0
(being one of two people in my 'massive' IT dept certainly helps >=))

 

[drpotter2807]

Yay Han!

Just took the dive with Letstalk hopefully all works out, I couldn't pass up saving $150.

 

[jcnyc]

buddy says there's a 30 person line at the verizon store on 34th st. in NYC, wow this phone wil sell out.

 

[AntimonyER]

Well here 45 minutes before open. No one in line. Eating chick fil a. Yum.

 

[MoPhoMan]

On line for Nexmas!

Apple is going to do a commercial about waiting in line for a Nexus....then sue Samsung over the idea.

 

[Asterdroid]

Well,

I just wanted to post one more time before this thread gets locked. That is all.

Asterdroid sends you all great big virtual hugs.

 

[jdaud]

As I'm heading out the door to Verizon I want to personally thank Han for his presence in this thread. I believe that without you this thread would only be a fraction of what it is. Your presence has been a breath of life, humor, and intelligence. I found it easier keeping my emotions in check by riding yours. Thanks again Ben
JDaud

See you on the other side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT - Love you too Steven (OBVIOUSLY!)

 

[litobirdy]

for me it'd be about $90 savings or techincally $65.... blah i'l just suck it up and get it at verizon

 

[NCTurner]

As I may not be able to write anything before this thread closes, I thought I'd do so now.

It's been a wild ride, to say the least! The highs....the lows....and all the "in betweens!" It's been quite entertaining, albeit nervewracking at times, to see people's reactions to the slightest bit of news. If bad news: the anger, frustration, agony that comes out; on the other hand, if it's good news, then people sore to the highest of highs! All over a phone! (hey, I'm right there with you, on those swings, too!)

My hat is especially off to Steven, who has shown incredible patience and class when dealing with the little spats that happened along the way. GREAT JOB, sir!

Early, OTD, you both rock as well...I know it's been a tough job for you, but I applaud what you've done!

Also, to every person that's posted....you all had an impact in some fashion on this thread, some more than others. I DO think that we made a difference to VZW, on the release of this phone....GRATS!

With that, I'll probably be seeing you in the other forums, AFTER I have "Nessie." She awaits (whenever I can get there!)

 

[chanop]

Getting ready to leave and pick mine up now. There best not be a line. I hate lines.
