Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

Welp...now that webOS is dead, looks like i'll be switching over to Android. Hopefully the Prime/Samsung ICS/720p phone comes to Sprint in Oct.

EDIT: that leak looks like it is going to be released during Black Friday time. Yikes.

Crap! I'm currently phoneless (OG Droid digitizer death). that will suck if it's that long. Good catch!
 
i understand the frustration. but, if there's even a chance of it coming to vzw (and Phil says it's more than a chance), no way am i going to buy a phone until there's confirmation of either yay or nay. a nexus, with these rumored specs, would just be too hard to pass up (except for maybe the DHD). :)

What phone do you currently have? I have the OG D1 and I simply cannot use it as my primary device much longer. I need a bigger screen, faster phone and something with LTE by yesterday.

If I buy the Bionic and the Prime comes out later with rumored specs I'll probably still get the Prime.

i'm still sportin' the OG! maybe it's just because i'm old, but with Proj Elite, Steel Droid, and Chevy pumping out roms, i think i can still hold out til the end of the year, if necessary. :cool:
 
My first OG Droid died in a drop, the first refurb they sent me had a digitizer failure after a few months, and the digitizer is dead on the right side of the screen on the refurb I have now.

I can't stick with this much longer :/

I'm still rockin the OG as well, but with CM7. I'm looking to switch it up, which rom do you recommend?

right now, i'm running Steel Droid 8.0 by chevycam94. it's a 2.3.5 rom, and it's running very nice on my phone. Chevy No 1 just posted over at DF that he should be releasing SS 5.5 (also 2.3.5) by tomorrow, and i'll definitely give that a run, as 5.4 ran very well on my phone, as well. both of those are CM based.

my all time favorite rom is Project Elite. v6.5 is also 2.3.5 right now, but it's completely built from source, and not based off CM. unfortunately, for my refurb'd phone (i broke my first one in a drop, too), it hasn't run PE very well. but, on my first OG, it was lights out!

I was looking at the posted links by Eggo and I thought, Whats up with the Prime name and let me know if someone thought and said this. We all know that it will be dual core. Maybe that's the theme behind it ( not transformers) What if the specs about the Phone are all Prime #'s 2,3,5,7 (2) dual core (3) noise canceling mics (5) inch in size case Working on (7) if anything will be hours is the only thing I can come up with right now. Any thoughts ?

I think you're thinking too hard, to be honest...

Well it's not going to be the U.S. GS2, that's for sure.
They need another global iPhone killer. They're attacking the market carpet-bomb style.
Aug 29 = The First Strike
Sept 1 = The Heavy Guns

SIDENOTE: Ooo mine is post #666
 
It seems like bad business strategy to say "Here is our latest and greatest GSII" on the 25th and then one week later say "Here is the next big thing." You would miss out on alot of SGII sales.

If the Next Big Thing is on a single carrier though, i guess it might make sense....or if they are trying to beat HTC to be the first 720p ICS phone to market.

they wouldn't be trying to beat HTC to market with the first ICS phone because it's a given the Nexus will always be first to market with a new version of android (google probably told htc to wait till after the release of the Prime to release their ICS phone.)
 
I wish it comes to Verizon I miss stock Android and I like samsungs hardware plus their screens are the best

I take it you don't work in marketing...
 
I wouldnt hold my breath for an OCT launch... if the device exists and I cant say if it does or doesnt.. just know its more than likely not going to launch till Mid Nov...

I think it's coming to verizon. I think it will be released in November too
