The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[dbol]

Meanwhile... the Verizon marketing team is laughing together as they read this thread... the CIA can't keep secrets this tight! Oh wait... Wikileaks...

Canada has a confirmed release date of December 8th.

I'm fine with december 8 but I want an announcement. I don't want to rely on a rumor. Odds are if the phone doesn't come out by november, either google, samsung, or verizon has got to make an announcement saying why we can't buy it at the announced date of november.

Did Verizon ever actually say November? And did Google ever say it'd be available on Verizon in November?

I didn't think so. In my mind they don't have to say anything. And it is smart for them not to. They never gave a date, so why appologize for a delay that... isn't really a delay? That being said, I really want a date!

Only thing we have is a statement from a Google Exec saying November. Kudos to P3 for calling it. Why can't I quit reading this stupid thread??

And that's really the problem - there is not one ounce of 100% truth to go off of with this stuff, so rumors run rampant, threads like this go crazy, those "in the know" vaguely tell us things that are more of a tease than anything else, info pours in from all kinds of sources, and it ends up being our attempt to put together a puzzle that may or may not even fit together.

There's some truth to the idea that truth will set you free...

This thread may catch up to the Rumor Mill at this pace. And to be fair... this is just another rumor mill!

I am a bit disappointed that Matias Duarte didn't know what he was talking about when it came to when we would be able to buy this phone. I know he doesn't work for Verizon but I would think he would at least have reliable information.

I have not heard anything else out of him lately.

He very well could've been going off of what he knew at the time. Despite this being a Google phone, it seems pretty clear to me that Verizon is calling the shots on the release, and I'd be willing to guess pretty much everything but the phone itself.

Yeah and he really has nothing to do with the release, he's the OS director, they don't have much to do with the business side or release dates.

He's just going off what companies have told him, if Verizon decided to wait until the 8th, they probably did so after he was told the details.

 

[OneTenderRebel]

One thing is for certain, we love to talk about this phone.
