The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[Trusstopher]

I lost 100 posts! Still Ninja status and I earned it this time. :icon_ lala:

I knew the posts would be lost, just didn't know the likes would... Thanks Larry for getting back up to 400!!!!


So now I'm faced with my tough decision I have been putting off... keeping in mind that I leave for skiing in a few days and want to save up as much extra cash as I can right now should I:

1. Goto VZW when they open, use the $100 promo I should get (even though I don't think we get it up front but later in the mail) + my $30 NE2 and get the phone for $119 and put that on my account to pay off next month.
2. Goto Best Buy and buy on contract - $20 rewards, putting it on my BB card, getting a ton of BB points, and pay it off next month
3. Goto Best Buy and buy off contract - $20 rewards, qualifying for 18 months no interest, get a ton of points, and pay off over a longer period

[Trusstopher]

Sooooo, went onto the vzw website, and clicked to upgrade my device to the Gnex (im not upgrading yet, just checking it out) and down at the bottom of the page where it lists the details of the phone... If you click on the tab that says "Accessories" you get this list:


[h=3]Included Accessories[/h]

• Standard Lithium Ion Battery
• Wall/USB Charger
• Stereo Headset
• Pre–Installed 32GB microSD™ Card
• Product Safety & Warranty Brochure
• Quick Reference Guide

Uhhhh, preinstalled 32GB MicroSD Card? wtf?

Sort of a typo/misprint. Unless they consider the 32GB internal storage to be a "Pre-Installed microSD card. lol

Got mine and the wife's ordered online. :icon_ lala:


Now hurry up Fedex!

Yeahup. Fail. Also to note for what it's worth (absolutely nothing) At work today (BBYM) we have cases in for Gnex that say "Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime" on the packaging. ROFL at marketing

 

[ilikemoneygreen]

Im getting mine today but its hard to resist the urge not to buy the phone the first possible way. :happy3: Ill have it at ten and not tomorrow.

i know this would suck but at worst you switch back to your d1 when your their needing a tether. thats just a phonecall away to switchback. theyll have a tether for this eventually.

Yeah, that was my thought as well. Kind of a pain, but doable. Except my son is supposed to get my bionic. I guess I could give him my bionic and us his D1 until there's a working tether.

I knew that D1 would just keep on tickin'!

Probably b/c the Bionic was some what of a let down. Locked Bootloader! You have to figure people that were getting the Bionic where hoping for a phone like the OG Droid, just up to date and the Bionic failed in doing so.

The Nexus, on the other hand, is the perfect upgrade coming from the OG Droid.

Sent from my Droid using DroidForums

I got it primarily for the 4g. My daughter got the TB and it was nothing but a problem. At least the Bionic is somewhat reliable with better battery than TB, and I LOVE the 4g. Especially on tether. It just cranks. :icon_ lala:

Mine specifically states $299 on contract minus $50 NE2 for $249 total :frown:
