The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

I wonder if Verizon will be more inclined to stick to the rumored 15th launch date now that some Nexi (that's what was decided the plural should be right?) have been released into the wild by Best Buy, Radio Shack and even a Verizon store.
 
Ok i know how i will be attacked , but my friend put her name in for a nexus at a local store. She just got a phone call from the store saying it will definitely go on sale thursday. Just relaying the message don't kill the messenger.
 
I'm hoping that this date sticks. The girl at Best Buy swore it would be out Thursday so barring a last minute hiccup I fully expect to be playing with my GNEX thursday.
 
i need it bad. All my stuff on my OG droid skips around and the phone pretty much does whatever it feels like . The screen jumps around pushes things i don't even push. its pretty much shot. i need this baddddddddd. I am about ready to smash this into 100 pieces.

It's funny, when the Razr was coming out my OG was going nuts. The speaker was randomly making noises, I wasn't receiving calls, screen was going crazy ect... Now? It works perfectly.

I smell a Verizon phone scam;)

I think Verizon's official stance on this is "a temporary shift in sun spots"

Just got a call as well. The 15th is a go. Yeah baby!!!!

Looks like they may be getting the "official word" to start notifying customers that have expressed interest...

yeah well i was told it isn't the lcd but the screen over it that messes up. I guess mine is shot. I need this nexus.

GoBears. From the guy in the pottsville mall ? ??

The capacitive touch screen tends to "go insane" when if fails rather than just stop working. I had to replace mine back in March-ish.
 
Verizon already has a deal with another company called ISIS, which is in direct competition with Google Wallet. The problem he's talking about is, Verizon is attempting to block Google Wallet altogether which is illegal. The Fed put regulations in like this so companies couldn't cause monopolies.

They could have gotten away with it had the G-Nex not been equipped with a block C radio.

Forgive my ignorance but what is a block C radio? Is that the NFC chip built into the battery?
Instead of trying to explain it here's a good link Block C | xda-developers

So reading this it says that it prevents the carrier from restricting anything on the device (not allowing Wallet) so what is Verizon going to do? Keep holding the device until Google lets them?

I was just at best buy looking at video games and I decided to ask about the nexus and was told it would be the 20th and he'd be surprised if it actually came out then. But then the same guy went on the blame the delays on the us government lol
