Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

[huskerkate]

I hope it's VERIZON. I would like to know why Verizon didn't get the Nexus S like ATT, T-Mobile, & Sprint...

Yes, but all the Nexus Prime news has been complete rumors and hearsay up until the Korean article. I can complete understand the doubt.

yes, but the intensity of the rumors is starting to heat up, and that often means something. and to add to the rumors of the Prime coming to VZW (and being made by Sammy), here is an article just posted by TechnoBuffalo:

How many rumored release dates do we see for a phone? No matter how many rumors we have, in the end, they are all rumors. With the Bionic, for instance, insiders clung to a late Aug/early Sept release date while all blogs (and even a Best Buy employee from this forum) were reporting late July/early August. In the end, all of the rumors were false hope, and the insiders were right. Google, themselves, stated ICS wasn't going to be ready until Q4 and now BMX is saying he doesn't even know if Verizon is getting a Nexus device, but that it wouldn't be released until November if it were. In the end, unfortunately, we don't know a whole lot about this device.

Agreed. Its definitley gaining some steam. The Korean article means more in my eyes than anything else, because it still seems to me these other articles go back to BGR

agreed. altho, this TB article cites its own source that the Prime is being tested by VZW. my guess would be that it's a different source than Phil's. i realize we're never gonna get formal confirmation until right before release - but, i do like the fact that we're starting to get info from multiple sources pointing to a VZW release in Nov.

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...

So if it launches in mid Nov. which carrier would it theoretically release on

I've been googling and I have yet to see anything from google saying ICS will remove the need for physical buttons. If anything I've seen that honeycomb, when you change display properties turns into gingerbread and removes the on-screen buttons. I see a lot of people speculating on no physical buttons, but nothing confirmed. Wouldn't removing physical buttons just lead to yet another patent lawsuit from Apple?

I'm fine with physical buttons and bring on that 4.6" screen on top of it.

Remember people, it's still a rumor until other people can check your sources. If your sources are secret, it's no better than hearing "My friend's brother's best-friend's, daughter-in-law said..."

According to Techno Buffalo its (Nexus Prime) being shopped to Verizon right now. So its not a done deal by any means.

This reminds me of the iPhone coming to Verizon rumors of years past. I'm not ready to commit either way. Ill sit on the sidelines and let the game play itself out. I would love to own this handset but I refuse to set myself up for disappointment. Rumor is rumor. I've been in too many rodeos to know when to get off the bull and this is one of them.

Its wait and see...

Hehe, I remember being on the skeptical side over at Droid Forums when the most recent VZW iPhone rumors broke out... I was wrong then. Now I'm an optimist until I get disappointed again.

The key reason why everyone is saying that ICS is going to get rid of physical/capacitive buttons is because Google said ICS was going to merge both the tablet OS and phone OS together. Since Honeycomb doesn't have buttons, wouldn't it make sense to have buttons on ICS? The whole point of updates is to go forward. If they put buttons on ICS (which is chronologically newer but might not be in terms of version number), then they would just be going backwards.

Nothing new here. Most of the links being posted are of articles that are sourced from other tech sites.

Dude I must pay my respects to you. You're a freaking Warrior. You ALWAYS sit back let all the info go flying by, analyze, interpret, research, research more, look over ALL choices, wait for more info, analyze all your options once more then Strike like hawk lol.

Even in our Blackberry days we would be circling around and around waiting for something to blow us away. There would be all kind of hype and you'd be like " not so sure about this one...." hahahaha. Love it!

We've been at this isht too long Johnly....

I take it you don't work in marketing...

I dont know how to take this lol ... No i don't

P3droid was speaking on twitter saying that he had something that was Nexus related and found NFC on board, a ICS keyboard, and a VZW apn, but points out that this doesn't mean it is going to be on Verizon. I'm to lazy to post links so go to twitter and search for p3droid.

 

[KiboeTheDog]

if it does it does, if it doesn't, it doesn't. we have sprint here, and yes, i am cose to picking up the Nexus S (and also being a NASCAR fan, their nascar app is considered a seperate service on the contract all together) but, the thing is, the signal here with sprint is like, 1 bar of sub-par 4g signal

when i get a full signal with verizon.

Maybe I'm not seeing it but if this is the Nexus3 thats is being referred to where does it say that. is it NPA that is the Nexus reference? just asking so i could understand thanks.

 

[Alucardsyco]

He was posting that he was looking at something for the "NP". I'm willing to say that knowing him he got his hands on a system dump or something similar.

 

[EggoEspada]

Yea. I was given the impression this 'NP' is the Nexus Prime. He does have his sources with Samsung, so if he does have a build, it wouldn't surprise me.
