Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

[ManBearPig618]

Well, my Incredible has finally run its course...question is, how will I ever find the money for this phone :/

1) Buy used iPhone 4's
2) Buy a silver paint pen
3) Write "S" on the back of the iPhone 4's.
4) Sell as new iPhone 4S's - iSheep won't know the difference.

Actually, he was correct. "Sheep" is already plural.

Something to keep in mind when discussing Nexus Prime rumors. In regards to the iPhone 4S, The Boy Genius Report (BGR) published 42 rumors, 14 original. Out of those 14, one was accurate. A success rate of only 7% of their own rumors and 2% of rumors

Thought everyone should see this. Great stat.

Yeah BGR has gotten worst by the day.

Ok so in regards to my incredible...Amazon is offering Verizon phones for a penny, but its only for new lines...I talked to the Verizon guy and he told me to bargain with Amazon for giving the phone for that price since it is time to sign a new contract anyway...So if i can get them to do that, I will get the Bionic, then when the Prime comes out, I will sell my Bionic and then use my moms upgrade for the Prime...Question is though..does Amazon have special policies on their cheap phones? Because I remember when my sister got an incredible from Wirefly she wasnt allowed to sell it for 6 months or she would have to pay them the full retail price of the phone


OH AND BTW!....When I was talking to the Verizon guy I mention the Prime/Galaxy Nexus and he went out of his way to make it seem like he knew nothing about it, but made it pretty obvious he did...he told me.."Oh yea, I heard about it, just heard about it...I heard its a really great device, but unfortunately I cant tell you whether we will be carrying or not or when"

Some of these tech blogs (BGR included) have the throw-mud-at-the-wall philosophy: If you throw enough mud at the wall, some of it is bound to stick. They just post every single rumor they can, and then when 1 of them comes true, they say "we told you so."

A few days before it comes true, they debunk some of the past, conflicting rumors and pass it off as some sort of inside information even though most lay-persons could logically deduce that the more solid rumors with some level of confirmation conflict with the other ones that are likely false.

Has anyone been having issues loading the forums? Possibly a DNS issue?

I have too. Rather annoying, especially on a slow work day, when I actually have time to read them....

AndroidCentral On Twitter: Just FYI: We're in the midst of upgrading the forums for a more forumtastic experience. You might see slight downtime today.

Let's keep this discussion out of the Nexus thread and in the Android Central Meta forum. You can find updates and ask questions there.

A trusted Source told me that the Galaxy Nexus will NOT launch today. So if you were wondering, there's your answer

Anyone else skeptical of a Hong Kong enveiling? We'll know soon enough I know, but it just seems like they would simply do another NY unpacked event instead, doesnt it? This announcement is a big deal, why not do your own event on the right continent?

I am too, especially if it's launching on Verizon. Why unveil it in Hong Kong. I'm not buying it.

Google and Samsung could announce the device itself in Hong Kong. Verizon could then announce the availability of it here, albeit the next day or just after the event is over.

 

[jeremyashburn]

Yeah, why move a huge event like the unveiling to a Hong Kong. Something smells fishy here....and its not me. I'm a Nexus Prime Whore, not a generic, everyday, run of the mill type of whore.

It doesn't matter where the announcement is because there are going to be talking about ICS. I doubt the announcement gives specifics about the release other than "coming soon." Google is going to spend their time discussing the new operating system.
