The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[prowler85]

Lol, im not worried, but this massive double posting has added a who 270 something posts to my post count. Haha naturally im cool with it. But i know you probably know that already from your supermod hat so i bet your prolly just going to delete this bad thread ehh? Haha its a conpiracy, your tricking me :biggrin: im on to you :tongue:

Lol, yeah, but i think i would like green monkeys too. It would sit on my shoulder and i would call it grinchy. I shall pet it and he will be all mine. :icon_ goofy:

Yeah, I'm ok with it as well. Except it didn't double the likes. So my post/like ratio decreased.:angry:

I'm sure that's big on most of your minds as well.

:whore:

And your point? I think this was verified about 70 pages ago. For most of us. Trying to beat the Dinc record. :biggrin:

I don't think it's google wallet either. I have read some rumors that they are waiting for 4.1 to be ready (since the phone will get an immediate update after activation anyway). But I agree - I believe the delay last week was the issues with LTE. Have those issues been resolved? I don't know - my Bionic was having issues through the weekend, but seems to be more stable on 4g now, so maybe they have.

But Verizon is somewhat saying that the delay is being caused by google, which could mean it's the 4.1 issues, but that could just be Verizon trying to deflect.

This delay has nothing to do with Google. If it did, they wouldn't be launching the phone in every country in the world besides the US.

This is all Verizon's fault.

I don't know what we are going to do once the phone releases... post counts don't really stand for all that much, so I doubt we will do anything unless there are complaints..
On another note, DancesWithBongs hasn't been on since 11-27-2011... he is going to have A LOT of reading to do when he gets back on (and in all seriousness, hope all is okay with him)

Really? memory tells me hes been on since but i guess it has been some time since weve seen him. not that the counter thing would lie or anything.
And youll receive no complaints here. even though, post counts should count for something. 10000 we should get a free shirt or something. Maybe a privilege or two like the supporting members have. maybe in increments. 10000, 20000. would take lots of time though.

It would work except for the fact that quantity of post != quality of member... don't want to be rewarding those who add nothing but "+1" and "Totally agree"

Verizon was the only one to have a problem with Google Wallet on google's phone. But with that aside, I don't think that is what caused the delay. Like I just said, it wouldn't make sense to have a last minute delay due to a dispute that has been ongoing.

You know the bad thing is we will probably never know what or who the delay was..

It really doesn't matter why its delayed. The phone needs to drop, and once it does, you'll be blissfully happy with it for the foreseeable future. Something no one has mentioned (at least that i've seen) is the shipping of these phones to all the different stores. It could just be something as simple as the shipments didn't make it to all of the necessary stores for a unified launch across the country so they delayed it a week so everyone had the product. It could also be Verizon just being evil and trying to break Google's desire to have the google wallet app installed on the device by threatening to launch after Christmas. It could be Santa's elves stole the shipments to produce crappy knock off nexus phones (with magic!). Who knows. I like my elf theory.

Isn't Google Wallet only on the Nexus S on sprint? I don't think its on other phones yet. Still doesn't mean that that's the reason, but you can't really rule it out that quickly. It's not like all other carriers and all other phones already have Google Wallet working fine and Verizon just wants to be difficult about it.

Anyone from north NJ? Hows the 4G coverage close to giant/jet football stadium?

What's wild to me is to read the releases in Australia and the UK. They talk about the phone being around $10 or free with their plans. Is it just in the U.S. that the carriers don't subsidize the full cost of the phone?

For example:

Telstra starts selling the Galaxy Nexus online and in a few stores on Wednesday, starting at $69 per month ($59 Freedom Connect Plan and $10 for the handset).

I totally agree with this.
