The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[xxpigxx]

Just I'm case it was not made clear, three different VZW corporate managers confirmed 12/09. Was even shown the stock, but was not allowed to take pics.

This was about 10 minutes ago. Yay

ok just got on the phone with a girl i know who works at verizon its far from my house thats why i went to the other one earlier buttttttt i just called her about the nexus and ask if she had them and can i come get one and yadadadyadyayay she kinda stopped me and said she couldnt sell me one until the 9th. they have them there at the store but they are not allowed to sell them at all not even allowed to buy one for themselves until the ninth so i guess that is the date.....

Strangely I no longer want to water-board every vzw decision maker. Whew, they got lucky!

All of the people at my Verizon store are complete idiots! No one has a clue about this phone. I will be scanning the Best Buy and Costco websites first thing Friday morning. Costco usually has crazy bundle deals with top of the line phones. I really hope they have one with this one.

Ugh waiting on Blizzard.. That gives me that old twitch again. Its funny how one store goes huh? Galaxia what? The other is like oh yeah lets go take a look. Here go ahead and *handle someones future phone. I wont tell if you wont.dancedroid Wait camara.. droid forums.. oh noes!

At first I only gazed in wonder at the slim sexy body, wondering...will she? Should I? In the end, my passion overcame my inhibitions...
Yep, I touched it, I touched it, and held it, and walked away, leaving it for someone else to end up with a "not really BRAND new" Nexus. Just some quick dirty jollies for me, a tainted, used phone for some sucker.

sloppy seconds on the phone? Heck Yeah! I'm very much desiring the GN right about now. Any chicks with the initials GN?

Posting this here too just in case

For anyone wondering like I was a couple months ago, I just double checked with Verizon on the phone again(well, my dad did since it's gonna be his line).. If you have unlimited and are using someone else's upgrade you will keep your unlimited regardless if they use a smartphone or a "dumb" phone.

Oh, and to make things better, my dad said,
"Hello, my son's looking to get the new phone coming out Friday.." and they instantly asked, "The Nexus?".

How easy will this be to root? Is it built in?

I posted the links on how to root in post #2526.

 

[xandor]

Yeah, with all the leaked information -- I would hope Verizon would cry uncle and confirm the launch.

Bionic is easy but they don't have the LTE version of Root for the Nexus yet and there is no way to "unroot" once you root the Nexus yet either.

So I have a choice to make - do I root the Bionic, save everything with MyBackUpPro, unroot, then get the Nexus and hope I can root and unroot with that also?

Bionic is pretty easy. See link.

Sounds like the Nexus is also, but can't confirm (of course)

Is it true there will only be a 32gb version? I was really looking forward to the 16, I made the mistake of buyying a 32gb ipod once and I have only used 8gb of it. Also I was hoping the 16 would be cheaper
