The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[combatmedic870]

I like your persistance, I just hope they don't put the Law on you...

It did work out ok! LOL! I got to play with it! it was completely worth it! :icon_ banana:

The screen on that thing is amazing! Coming from someone that has a rezound, thats kinda saying something. I was impressed with the phone as a whole(well i guess i was more impressed with the OS). The back cover is pretty weak though. it was Semi hard to get back on. The camera isnt as bad as people make it out to be. But the setting on it are VERY limited. you cant tweak the contrast or sharpness or anything, or the iso, no exposure comp, only 4 scene modes(no HDR mode like the rezound). the camera isnt really fast enough to focus so it take out of focus pics.......the phone is very light....

I think i am going to be getting this phone. I do infact like it more then the rezound(the screen is killer, blacks are black and whites are white.). The rezound camera is absolutely better though,....in every way. It might not take instant pics, but atleast they are in focus. If you turn off picture preview the rezounds camera is actually very fast.

Why don't you guys organize a flash mob? Chant "Where's my Nexus. Where's my Nexus." Demand release as a large group. Going in individually doesn't seem to accomplish much. I mean just how bad do you want it, really? Alert the media, get some interviews. VZ will have to provide some bonafide answers.

Just got a fresh case of Yuengling Premium. This could turn out to be a stellar weekend. Wish there was a UFC on to top it off. Oh well, I guess I'll just settle for a Nexus...

Dam.. hard to find people who know about Yuengling..

Welp if there are any people that live in or near portland OR, I say we camp out side the tualatin bridgeport vzw until they release.

In case anyone wanted to keep up with the BB story w/o reading through a ton of pages. I got lucky and happened to click on the right page.This sounds legit to me after dealing with BB on some other issues before..

I went to best buy to deal with this in person and spent two hours there trying to negotiate even the smallest of reward or gift card or even a discount on something else and they wouldn't do it. I spoke to a manager and three reps. All were freaking out about it and had a look of fear in their eyes needing to get the phone back "Because we want to make sure you don't have a faulty phone" but in reality, I could tell someone was in trouble. I told them, work with me and I'll return it. I spend an hour and a half activating the phone and trying to purchase, an hour total drive time dealing with this and the two hours trying to negotiate the return, and they wouldn't work with me. Not even a $50 discount on anything. they tried to push the razr on me. I said "If you can discount it, you have a deal"they wouldn't, then I said I might consider if they had the 32 Gig iphone 4s which they didn't and said all they could do is order me the 16 gig to pick up tomorrow. I said I didn't want it and the guy said he would call me back tomorrow. I told him not to waste his breath and I won't be returning. then I left.

The only problem I face now, Is I did notice a screen defect where you can see burns in the screen on low lit setting and while on white backgrounds. It's like 4 or 5 burn lines from top to bottom of the screen. I might just take it back for a refund as now that I notice the problem, I don't want to be stuck with it.

BB was making it sound like this phone isn't coming out anytime soon and they were trying to do me a favor and protect me from the "Software Problems" that have delayed the phone. I asked flat out if the rep who sold it to me is in any kind of trouble and they said no. So I don't know what the deal is. I can tell you the guy I was dealing with tonights face dropped when I said no and walked out.

Wow.. sucks about tge screen thing. But I wulish I would have seen the look on their faces when you said no and walked out

Nor being a troll here, just an observer, but it doesn't sound like it's quite ready for prime time. sux. starting to feel for you guys now. You certainly don't want to finally get it, only to discover a bunch of problems. That would really be charming wouldn't it? We'll see how Thursday pans out. Then if you need a shoulder to cry on . .

Keep in mind tho, that it seems to be ready for primetime everywhere else in the world, besides here.
