Today's Google event 11-16

[Mooem]

Honestly, I'm just trying to lower my expectations a tad. In regards to past Verizon launches, all too many times I've seen people say "it will come on this day!", the day passes, and then they're all of a sudden dismayed that it didn't happen. In the process, they get burned and turn negative anyways. Not saying anyone here in particular does it but it DOES happen. It's an unfortunate side of effect of buying into rampant rumors, speculation, and Verizon's "non-transparency" with regard to release information. (e.g. Bionic, Thunderbolt, etc.).

Make no mistake, I'm happy the phone IS coming. I'm just not going to bet the farm on a specific day that it will be released or announced. I've learned my lesson from the Bionic launch.

That being said, I admire the optimism and it would be great if you're right!

 

[oxymoron]

Apparently to most on here worldwide does not actually mean everywhere since the US is it's own world. /s

I am semi-frequently accused of being in my own world. I must be in the U.S.

I'm aware Verizon hasn't given us a date... but the word "worldwide" means... worldwide. If it's not launched in the US, then the launch would be worldwide.

I have yet to see a phone launch everywhere world wide. And I can tell you the Galaxy Nexus isn't launching everywhere, but it is world wide -- just not in certain regions. So chances are, Verizon isn't included in the world wide launch.

I'd call it more of a world wide roll-out (gradual launch).

 

[scotty_pimmpen]

I'm not saying that it is getting announced today, but I will acknowledge that there is a possibility. With great confidence I can say that I have no confidence in any rumored release date.

Well said.

[kvlt]

He means Verizon would be the first US carrier to have the Nexus, not first in the world.

And at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see T-Mobile lap Verizon by launching the GNex lol

Yeah, wouldnt surprise me either. To be perfectly honest, T Mobile SHOULD have it first.. In the past theyve shown a pretty good appreciation for stock/ Nexus devices. This is coming from a long time on and off Verizon customer who hasnt signed a contract yet because ive been exclusive to Nexus phones, haha. If Verizon were to cancel the launch tomorrow id be back on AT&T in a heartbeat. Which would stink because they charge just about the same as Verizon for lesser quality, in my area.

What time is this event again? (EST)

 

[Holsum]

What time is this event again? (EST)

i read through 3 pages of garbage just to find the answer to this question.... I want my 5 mins back please!

 

[Mooem]

What time is this event again? (EST)

Per CNET...so 5 PM EST.

The press event kicks off at 2 p.m. Pacific, and Google is providing a live stream of it at YouTube.com/Android.

 

[auburngirl]

Yeah I really don't see a Verizon announcement at a Tmobile event.

Not AT the event, but timing their announcement to trample anything T-Mo might announce?

Tmobile should have it as much as Verizon and everyone else. Thats a ridiculous statement. The users should have the devices. The carriers don't deserve anything.

I'm pretty much worn down by all this and, it's not bothering me as much anymore. It's the middle of November so, it getting closer and closer no matter what, whether it's released this month or next. The phone has everything I want and, will have all the accessoires I want/need also so, I'll be happy when I finally receive it.

I'm looking forward to watching the Google event this evening and, whatever it may bring; hopefully the music store.

So, is Google going to announce T-Mobile has an exclusive on the upcomomg Galaxy Nexus Prime 2?

 

[HES]

So, is Google going to announce T-Mobile has an exclusive on the upcomomg Galaxy Nexus Prime 2?

And announce that it will be released in February

 

[ohiomoto]

And announce that it will be released in February

No it will be released on Friday! I read it somewhere on Facebook.

T-Mobile joins the Google Music Event Wednesday, Live music and more | Android Community

I don't know if this really is a "T-Mobile/Google event". I think the event today at 2PM PST, live streamed on youtube, will be an all Google event and all about Google Music, with zero mention of t-mobile. T-Mobile appears to be the sponsor for the after-party, where they might do their own separate announcement for google music [store] integration into their products. just speculation on my part

Yeah, you're right. People have been talking about these as if they're the same event. They aren't. The Google event isn't T-Mobilized so there is definitely a possibility of other announcements non T-Mobile related. Like, hopefully, a Verizon Galaxy Nexus launch date. (sigh)

Would this forum burn to the ground if they announced a Tmobil Nexus available for order today?

Yes, and I would use you to light it.
