The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
The other phone debate probably belongs in its own thread. This thread is gargantuan enough that we should really try to keep it on topic. JMO.

Despite the debunking of those photos showing the 8th, the complete inaction of Verizon on this phone is enough to tell us it probably won't be this week, certainly not tomorrow. That leaves us with the 28th as the next closest possibility. You have a google exec saying this phone would hit in November, that's working for this date. Other than that, there's really nothing substantial pointing to the 28th. Also the lack of chatter from informed sources in corporate stores and higher lend credence to a further date. If it was within a week we'd have leaked shipments, dummy phones, etc.

I completely understand Verizon's reasons for holding the GN, I just don't like them. They did it because they just released the heavily advertised Razr and not so heavily advertised Rezound. Those are the phones that will carry them through Thanksgiving. With no other phones really on the radar at all, they need to delay the GN to fill time until the next feature phone. Otherwise it will vulture the sales of the Razr which they are heavily invested in.

+1 Well Articulated!
I especially agree with the comment about the 'other' debate belonging in it's own thread. The requests sound a bit to tyrannical for my taste, imo ;-)
 
Hopefully my post will be the end of the Razr/Bionic talk, because y'all are right about that belonging elsewhere.

This is the key!! Verizon invested millions into promoting these two phones. They have to show shareholders a return on investment for those advertising dollars. The Galaxy will get out there but the RAZR an Rezound simply got there first. Not to mention they both contain more bloat (further potential income) than what the the GNex will have.
 
So just called my local store, the guy said a few people had inquired about it. He said that it was supposed to come out at the end of this month, but they would have already heard about it internally and gotten marketing materials at the store and they haven't. He said right now the best he can guess is before Christmas haha...more rampant fuel to the nexus fire....
 
Multiple Rumors from Multiple Sources:

OK guys here's the latest information I have culled from several sources over the course of the evening and this morning.
So late last night I decided to see if there was any new info available and went to my local bedroom.
After a thorough investigation and several interrogations, I now have the following breaking news.
My pillow had intercepted a for your eyes only high level internal corporate memo. I can't tell you anymore about how my pillow saw the memo or who leaked it as my pillow has always had a strict policy of not outing any sources. And the pillow has always stood by that, even during an interrogation with good cop bad cop and water boarding 59 times.
I only mention this so you all are aware of the veracity of this rumor. The memo stated that they have decided to pull any marketing and advertising for the Nexus. Apparently between us and the tweeters and the repeaters of the tweeters, we have already caused more than enough buzz for them. Instead they will now be putting that money towards R&D, specifically looking for new, cutting edge ways to make us all freak out next time at an even greater level, resulting in even more buzz on the web. The goal being to eliminate the necessity of any advertising or PR once and for all.
Two discoveries have already been announced, but then unannounced and has been pushed back.
But my pillow saw the announcement before it was pulled.
Apparently the new business paradigm for Verizon will be announcing phone releases on the horizon, leaving out the devices name, specs and release date for the device. And that several phones with this new feature that is not known, will be coming to a store near you, soon. How soon? Quite.

Of course, the problems began to arise upon interrogation of both my blanket and my alarm clock. Both of them were interrogated separately so as to bar them from making sure that their stories were straight and jibed.
Well, Houston we have a problem.
I received the identical story from both, everything was corroborated and now I am forced to take a course of action which I have wanted to avoid. As it seems that the pillow hasn't left the bedroom for several days, which makes it impossible to have received information as I have no bedroom telephone. To double check I called my people at CSI:Detroit, and they did a sweep of the apartment and sure enough, no pillow tracks... Anywhere.

I will not stand for dishonesty or a cheap attempt of a ruse, though unsuccessful, made by my pillow to make me look like a jackass. Tough times call for tough decisions, so after discussion and deep thought I decided I had no choice in the matter. I needed to do what needed to be done.
So this morning in my buildings parking lot, I erected a decent sized pyre. I then snuck up on my pillow from behind and threw a pillowcase over it so that the pillow would put up less of a fight as it would be unable to see the pyre until it would already be too late.
And after a brief reflection on the years of exemplary service before this recent fall from grace, I ignited the pyre and watched my old friend return to that from which he came.
I just called his wife and explained that we had lost pillow while on a covert operation, we all knew that there was a good chance we all might not make it back and we were right.
I asked that she try to take comfort in the fact that pillow had given his life for something bigger than himself, something he believed in, and that his services in the name of my bedroom would never be forgot.
Toughest part of my job, but that's what comes with the territory. Anyone with a bedroom can tell you that.

But if only our story ended there. During everyone mourning, my CPAP machine(for the treatment of sleep apnea) took me off to the side and whispered what I had been yearning for, "Nex week".
And like that he was gone. I looked around and he was by the bar already as if he'd been there all day, CPAP is my best man and my best man for a reason.
So there's the information I have from a trusted source if ever there was one.
I look forward to us all raising our Gs in unison at some point in the next week. And just for the record, CPAP has never passed on a single false piece of intelligence ever. Even back when the KGB thought that they had turned him against us, he wasn't. No attempt at brainwashing CPAP has ever succeeded. And one day when the documents are declassified all will know that CPAP was the main catalyst in bringing down the Berlin Wall.
And more than likely, the only real source for good information on the Gs release.
Also if we all decide to occupy verizon this week, we should try to be unified in message. Might I suggest the following chant so none can misconstrue our collective desire:
FREE THE G
FREE THE G

dwb over and out
walkin the walk while tappin the talk
danceswithbongs

Gotta go run a false flag operation with nightstand, over at TMobile...
Wish me luck

Android doesn't seem to like people using links to YouTube while signed in (wth?).

Here are the links again. I triple checked them to make sure that they're legit if anyone cares.
