The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
My point wasn't that Verizon has or hasn't set a date that may or may not have been moved. It's there have been a flood of rumors of a "release date" for every week since before it was released in Europe. Last week it was rumored to come out the Dec 9th. The week before that it was Nov. 29th. The week before that it was Nov. 21st. This week they're already starting that it'll come out Dec 15th. Next week it'll be "coming out" Dec 21st. That's all I'm saying.

Edit: fixed a spelling error

I know that stores were at one point told to prepare for a Black Friday release. Then vzw changed its mind.

Perspective instantiates reality.

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.You are now chatting with 'Sarah'
Jose: Hello
Sarah: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Jose: Hi Sarah. I'm a little lost on your website...
Jose: I'd like to upgrade one of my lines but I'm not sure if I see a full list of your phones.
Jose: I'm looking for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It was confirmed for pre-order today
Sarah: Are you logged into "My Verizon" with your username and password?
Sarah: I'd be happy to assist you.
Jose: Yes I am...
Sarah: You would be able see the list when you click upgrade a new device and then the device should come up.
Jose: Ok, I click on the line I'd like to upgrade, and I see several phones except for the Galaxy Nexus. Am I doing something wrong?
Jose: It shows 106 devices...
Sarah: Would you mind holding for a moment while I check that information?
Jose: Sure, thanks
Sarah: We do not have that device yet.
Jose: Really? I thought it was supposed to open for pre-order today!
Jose: So when will it be available?
Sarah: I am not sure you would be able to get email alerts to see when teh device may come out.
Jose: So there's no release date? What information do you guys have?
Sarah: I do not have any information at this time.
Jose: Last time I spoke to customer service over the phone they said pre-orders started today, and the phone would ship by 12/8.
Jose: So I'm a little surprised to hear you have no information.
Jose: Is there anybody else you could ask? Please?
Sarah: We in the same department with sales and we do not have any information. What I would recommend you do is sign up for email alerts and you would be able to see when the device may launch.
Sarah: Is that okay?
Jose: Could you give me a time frame at least? My phone is in really bad shape and I need a new phone asap! It freezes a lot when I try to make calls. I'm afraid I'll have to make an emergency 911 call one of these days and my phone won't work, and I'll bleed out and die :(
Sarah: I am not sure.
Sarah: Would you like to get another device and then when the device comes out you would be able to get that device.
Jose: I just don't get how customer service gives me a confirmed date, but sales has no information on it. Was I lied to?
Jose: How would that work? I can return the phone for a full refund?
Jose: Oh, and I've been hearing a lot about some new Droid thing called "Ice Cream Sammich". What is that?
Sarah: Hi, I'm just checking in, how is everything going?
Jose: Still here, did you get my last 3 messages?
Sarah: We do not have nay information on that device. I only sales devices that are online.
Jose: What about the returns question?
Jose: And "Ice Cream Sammich"?
Sarah: We do not have that device or kow about that device
Sarah: Would you mind holding for a moment while I check that information?
Jose: Sure
Sarah: Thanks for holding'
Sarah: We do not have these devices at this time you would be able to get a device that is online or check back to see when we get the devices.
Jose: So Ice Cream Sammich, is that a new phone? Or an app? I read it can unlock my phone with my face. Does that Razr have that?
Sarah: You would be able to see in the mart if you have a smart phone.
Jose: Yeah I have a smart phone, I have the original Droid. So Ice Cream Sammich is an app I can download?
Jose: I just tried opening the market and my phone crashed. It's rebooting. I hate my phone.
Sarah: Would you mind holding for a moment while I check that information?
Jose: No problem
Sarah: Thanks
Sarah: Thanks for holding.
Jose: Any word?
Sarah: No we are unsure of that that may be
Jose: So no information on the Galaxy Nexus or Ice Cream Sammich?
Jose: So what's the return policy on phones?
Sarah: 14 days to return the device.
Jose: Hmm, so what if I buy the Razr and the Nexus isn't out in 14 days? Can you guarantee it will be out before then?
Sarah: No I am not assure uyou that.
Jose: What about by Christmas? My wife said this phone was going to be my Christmas present. If it doesn't come out by then, I won't have anything to look forward to for the holidays.
Sarah: It may come by then but I can not guarantee you that
Jose: Ok, guess I'll keep checking back.
Jose: And making calls from a pay phone :(
Jose: Don't even remember how to use one.
Sarah: I am sorry do you have any other questions I would be able to assist you with? Would you like to get teh droid devices?
Jose: Do you know how much it costs to make a local call from a pay phone?
Jose: Yes! I would like a droid device, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Sarah: I am referring to the Droid Razor?
Jose: Oh. Do you have the original Razr?
Jose: Not the new one, I really like the old one.
Sarah: Nop
Sarah: No we do not
Jose: Does the new Razr unlock with my face?
Sarah: i do not understand
Jose: Yeah, I saw a video. The Nexus unlocks the phone when I put my face to the screen.
Sarah: i am not sure if you get the device you would be able to see.
Jose: When can I get it?
Sarah: You can order now if you would like.
Jose: I can order the Nexus now?
Sarah: We do not have that device.
Jose: You just said I could order it.
Sarah: We do have the Razr.
Jose: What about the Nexus?
Sarah: We do not have this device.
Jose: Bummer, do you know when?
Sarah: Do you have any other questions I would be able to assist you with, You would be able to sign up for email updates as to when teh device may come out.
Sarah: If you would like I would be able to send you a link.
Jose: Where can I sign up?
Sarah: I will send you a link.
Jose: Ok, thanks
 
My chat with VZW rep. Somewhat close to kongo's conversation, except he thought the RAZR was the best out right now.

Either way, I think we can at least plan on a December release from all of these I'm reading. Oh, and my name isn't really Bob. Haha.

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.
You are now chatting with 'Marcus'
Bob: Hello Marcus.
Marcus: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Bob: Sure. I was just taking a look at the phones you offer, and thinking of purchasing one for my brother for the holidays. Maybe you could help me?
Marcus: Sure, i can help you find a phone for him. Is he a current Verizon customer?
Bob: I don't know whether he has Verizon or Sprint, but I do know that he is a big fan of Android smartphones.
Marcus: Ok, well you probably want to find that out before you look, because the phones on verizon will not work with sprint and the phones on sprint will not work on Verizon
Bob: Ahh, good point. I'm pretty sure that he owns the first Droid phone right now. Is that a Verizon phone?
Marcus: The original motorola droid is, yes
Bob: Oh, great. Well what phones can you recommend? Especially for Android...
Marcus: Honestly the best thing out now would be the Droid razr. it is really thin, and durable, and has a large screen, front facing camera for video chatting, dual core processor for awesome phone speed adn it is 4G capable for faster internet
Bob: Wow. That sounds pretty good. He might like that since his current phone is a Motorola.
Bob: Last time I talked to him, I think he mentioned something about a Nexus...do you know anything about this?
Bob: I can't find it on your website.
Marcus: There is one coming soon, but i don't have a release date or anything
Bob: Is there a preorder date or anything that you know of?
Marcus: not yet, no, nothing has been announced
Bob: Hmm...Well, I will have to double check with him, but if that's the phone he really likes, I'd like to get it for him for the holidays. Will it be out by then?
Marcus: I have no idea. hopefully it will, but i would check back next month sometime to see if it is released yet
Bob: Okay, do you know what it's called? I think he just said Nexis or something. I want to make sure I get it right.
Marcus: Galaxy Nexus
Bob: Okay cool. But it will be coming to Verizon for sure? Next month maybe?
Marcus: I can give you a link to sign up for email updates if you would like
Bob: Yeah that would be great!
Marcus: click here
Bob: Awesome, thank you. I will be sure to sign up.
Bob: Do a lot of people ask about this phone?
Marcus: A lot have recently, yes. I'm waiting for it myself to upgrade to
Bob: So would you say that's the next best phone to come to Verizon? Do you think I should just get him the Razr or wait and get him the Galaxy Nexus?
Marcus: I would wait to see if it comes out, then if it hasn't a week or so before christmas, go with the razr
Bob: Okay that's a good idea.
Marcus: Awesome, So was there any concerns you had for me now that we have went over the razr and nexus?
Bob: I don't think so. I just wanted to get a valid opinion for which phone to get my brother, and I was curious to learn more about the Nexus. Is there any other information you know about it?
Marcus: Honestly nothing has been released to me, but if you sign up for those updates they will let you know once something is released
Bob: Okay awesome. Well thank you very much for your advice and information. Have a great Holiday season!
Marcus: Thank you for visiting Verizon Wireless, I look forward to speaking with you again. Have a great evening!

b-jammin-pretty good convo there. this highly rumored december 8th date is starting to confirm itself with these reps (although its not official).

i feel i by far had the worst rep. the conversation didnt flow AT ALL.

also i added yours to the list with the others.

List- http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ga...ka-waiting-nexus-post1866484.html#post1866484

Yeah, it sounded pretty promising to me that the guy told me that he was waiting to upgrade to the Nexus too. Then, he also pretty much recommended that I wait for it to be released by Christmas.
 
I am not saying the CS reps aren't in the dark on most things but they are obviously smart enough to not give you any details on the phone. VZW has not announced this phone yet, why would any sales or customer service rep try to get you to buy a phone they don't have in stock yet? It doesn't benefit them whatsoever to try to sell you a phone they can't even sell. Of course they are going to be "dumb" to the Nexus and try and sell you on current phones. Commission will do that.
 
will galaxy nexus ever released? or it was cancelled?

not canceled, at least not officially...

rumor is still dec. 8th. Better come out, I just found out I'm eligible for early upgrade:icon_ banana::icon_ banana::icon_ banana::icon_ banana:
 
I just got logged on and saw this thread. Coincidently, I had a chat with VZW CS today, also. If I had known, I would have saved my convo. I did copy and print it, though b/c I wanted to be sure not to be screwed out of my NE2 that is five months old. I have my last NE2 and a "Loyalty Discount" burning to love a Galaxy Nexus! I mentioned the GNex but she didn't give out any info on it. :blink: Fortunately, my OG Droid is still in great shape and running fine.
 
I just found out I'm eligible for early upgrade:icon_ banana::icon_ banana::icon_ banana::icon_ banana:

Say wha? :money: What was your original upgrade date again? How did you get an early upgrade? :crazy: Mine is July 2012. Going to try and get it early.
