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

Not open for further replies.
One twitter user asked p3dorid if he would "care to comment on the nexus preorder tomorrow rumor?"


P3Droid's Reply: have you ever seen a device released with no announcement? I would not hold my breath.

Eidt: sounds more like p3droid is unsure and is just offering his guess, IMO

I'm not sure that's correct - I watched the full Thursday night game on my Thunderbolt when I was travelling and didn't have the NFL network on the cable system where I was at.

You are right. When it used to work on my Dinc, you could watch NFL Redzone or the games on the NFL network. Still forget there are games on the NFL Network. As an Eagles fan, maybe I should forget it this Thursday so I miss them losing to Seattle.

I probably missed a reason you are not considering the droid 3 for a keyboard phone. My wife has one and it is pretty awesome. 4" screen is plenty big, the keyboard is great with that 5th row of number keys, etc. My soon to be retired droid 2 has been awesome as well, well, up until the 2.3.3 update. In store, hitting the same sites as playing with a razor and rezound, they beat my D2, but not by all that much. So, unless I missed a specific reason to not consider it, the D3 is great, and it shows up on my upgrade page for $99. A great deal for what it is.

The phone's too thick for her, and she wasn't too crazy about its keyboard either. I did tell her that her options would be quite slim as far as good keyboards these days, even in a feature phone.
 
Just texted my brother who works for VerLIEzon ::snickers::. Anywho, told him that pre orders were going out for the phone tomorrow (he wants it too) and he said there's no way. They haven't heard anything about it yet.

Pretty blunt/arrogant, but entirely true I'm afraid. :(
 
i know most people dont like the "my guy says so and so" release date. but for those who care, my guy said "either the end of this week or the end of next week", and said he expected a preorder

This is an absolute non-starter for me. I can't think of a phone that I haven't replaced the battery after 1 year. I have a feeling people are gonna be a bit feisty about their RAZR's battery life in a year.

Yeah, I switch off between a few OG batteries and one of them seems to be about done. Glad I can replace it for about $3.

It seems Computer world has hit the Rumor wheel, It's now confirming multiple sources, but every thing I've seen is always sourced back to the original Computer World article.

This rumor is officially self aware.

I think this has already been posted in the thread, but it's worth reflecting on the debt that we all owe to US Energy Sec'y Steven Chu.

Well if you've already got the salt, might as well make it a margarita. :D
 
I won't be staying up for the possible Pre-order tonight. But Verizon was asked point blank if there was going to be a Pre-order tomorrow and they gave no comment. You would think that Verizon could at least deny if it weren't happening tomorrow. Their complete refusal to even comment on the next day is just silly IMO. If it does happen, what advantage does not putting out a simple press release give them. I can't believe things are so flexible that they don't make the decision till the day of.

Just curious, where were they asked point blank?

A couple of the articles said they attempted to confirm the rumor with Verizon and were given the standard "no comment" from VZW spokesman.
Click to expand...

Yeah, but I can see where VZW is coming from too. If you deny one, the next time they ask and you don't deny it....it's confirmed.

No comment actually seems like the correct response business-wise. Even though that may not be what we want.
 
BREAKING NEWS

I just headed to my local Authorized Retailer store (read: NOT a corporate store, but a very similar retailer, Cellular Connection - Home) to ask about moving an upgrade up. The guy said he could only move it up a week, etc. etc. but then I asked him about the Nexus. When it would come out, if they got anything in, etc. and he told me that "[he] was actually just given the ability to pre-order three GNexi tonight. I know you're all thinking that this is the guy who got the notice for 50 GNexi but I asked him about that and he said it was screen protectors and cases, not the actual phones... BUT I asked if I could see the computer screen for proof to share with you guys, and while his manager was standing over his shoulder and wouldn't let me take a picture, I DID see that he was able to order [a whopping] three (3) SCH-i515's. No mention of when they would be available, but considering he was just able to order them, we could be seeing pre-orders online at midnight tonight or tomorrow.

BTW this guy gave me the DInc one day before it was released in stores, so I believe him... also he said he would set up a shipping notification for his phone, email, and text so he could call me literally the moment the phones come into the store. You would think if he was the average sales rep he would just try to sell me a RAZR or the like, but he was serious about this and was as excited as I am.

Take it FWIW, I know a lot of you will probably disregard it, but this is a serious news tip, from a verifiable source; I saw the pre-order form with my own two eyes.

:)

I side with you. No surprise. It is telling of how they are handling it."They" might not even know themselves. Silly is a great word though, very representative in this time!

When have you ever seen a PR rep make a official statement before an official announcement? The reason they're saying "no comment" is probably because something's on the horizon. They would have said "we don't have any information to share at this time" had they not known a single thing... just my analysis of this.

BTW didn't mean to come off as attacking your thoughts. Just saying what I think as well :)
 
We'll see about the pre-order date, I'm with P3Droid, I would think that there would be some announcement. There was with the A855, but release is the week of 12/12 or 12/16. Oh wait, that's the same week. No production units in the states until 11/30.
