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

Here is my prediction with the rumors of next week and the december 8th floating around as well. Might release the 16gb version next week to get the device out before black friday and screw everyone with $299 price for only 16gb. Then Dec 8th they rollout the 32gb model and drop the 16gb model price. Would explain why the google site said 16/32 first and now just 16. Notice too that the UK site initially said 16 only and now it says 16/32. Might do the same thing in the UK.

Hey peeps, just got off the phone with my sister.

She realized that I was freaking out a little bit, so she called a coworker who works in an assistant position where she is more in the know than my sister is.

She tells me that she is still hearing next week. She made it a point to say that she doesn't know if it will be Monday, but that Verizon thinks that having the SGN for sale during Black Friday/Cyber Monday is their best bet.
I'm still pretty hopeful for next week, for what it's worth.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, as always. It is much appreciated.

As much as I enjoy reading and replying in this thread, I think it is a wise idea to take a bit of a break. Maybe for just tonight, maybe for a bit longer. Everything is back and forth at this point.

I will leave you guys (for now) with just this thought: Despite what we saw today, I STILL think Verizon would be absolutely stupid to not have this thing available by BF weekend. As I was thinking this, I read Hans post, and I'm glad that there is still some people higher up in VZW saying this.

Look, they have shown themselves to be pretty incompetent at times, especially with device launches. But they aren't THAT stupid. Barring any hardware defects or supply shortages, even the most basic marketing employee would know how much of a BAD idea missing the BF date is with a device like this. I don't think they would even let a minor software bug, such as the Backup Assistant not working or Exchange issues, delay them for two, almost three weeks, as that can be fixed via OTA pretty quickly. And if you believe certain people, the device has either been or is close to be shipped, it would be way too late to recall all of them just to do a software update.

Also, let's not forget why they call it "Black Friday" in the first place. :-) And as far as we know and can tell, the RAZR and Rezound are NOT selling in the way they want them to. They can't think that just because it is BF that they will magically start to fly off of the shelves. They must realize that people are either A. Waiting for the Nexus because that is the only phone they will buy or B. Waiting for the Nexus because they want to make the BEST possible buying decision, and want the Nexus to compare to the other two.

I'm confident that, in some way, it will be available to purchase for BF. But for now, I'm taking a bit of a break. If somebody could please be so amazing as to PM me if we hear anything close to official or anything substantial, I would love you forever. Thanks :D
 
moving so slow now I could hit 38K when I wake up in the morning

EDIT: wow everyone came out of hiding for 5 minutes there lol
 
with the attention that this thread has received, I wonder if Verzion and Google have spies here? If they do please tell Verzion release the Nexus already lol:D

Should we still trust you? :(
I'm sure we would all love for you to be correct.
I just want to know how people are so certain of anything at this point.

Pretty sure we've all come to the agreement that since there's already been confirmed 32 GB models of the Verizon SGN, they wouldn't just scrap thousands of phones in stock just to change the storage. It's 32 GB.
