Weird.. just found this link: Mobile Phones MP3iPodMobiles - Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Black) 16GB Android 4.0 Sim Free / Unlocked
Im just laughing at the price of this. $1200 and after discount (which i mean really...) $916 for a 16gb 4gless phone
Of course they know and they love it. This is called buzz and hype and it cut into their advertising dollars 0%. They know all to well, and that is why they are a rather successful company. Our frustrated feelings aren't going to dissuade any of us from making the purchase.

We make up only a small percent of the public. We are the ones that actually watched the october 18th video. Advertising on tv is to make the people who could care less about the hardware to buy there phone. Just look at all the past phone commercials. iphones basic 30 second tutorials, telling people how easy it is to manuever around there phone. the advertisement is not meant for us, the people who know how to use technology. The droid razr commercial where it cuts everything down and the one where it says to be careful which hands it gets into (terrible commercials). those are meant to get people simply saying "i want that phone". the razr has the specifications to show it but the majority of the public really does not know what all these specs are. The point im trying to make is that we would buy the phone if it comes out today or if it comes out late november. thats not going to change. hype or no hype, they dont care. as long as we buy the phone. they are going to need to show the majority of the public how sweet the phone is. and the only way to do that is to spend money and come up with an effective commercial for it. luckily the galaxy nexus has no odd gimicks to it like the "sharpness" of the droid razr. Hopefully the commercials will not be terrible and actually be watchable in an effective way. last android phone i have ever seen a good commercial for was the droid 1 (can your phone surf the web at the speed of a wave, something like that, and it included the machine gimmick). very effective=higher sales.
