Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

[jjmurray88]

The Verizon authorized dealer in Sandy. They had 2 and said I was the only person to come in and ask about them. They reserved one for me.

I'm...I'm sorry. Worst device in the history of smart phones.

It literally brought your typing speed down by at least half. You couldn't type the next letter in a text/email until the screen lifted.

i'm slow anyways! LOL

One one thing about this phone (Storm 1) is it never gave me any trouble.

I tried to give it up for a Bionic but, we all know what junk that was...

The GN better not screw with me like the Bionic or, it is coming back in through the Verizon's store front window!

Its kinda cool how the progression of this "release" has gone. From the numerous threads about rumor release dates, to today the top three threads being about Best Buy and how folks are getting their gn days before official drop date, to hopefully soon all the rest of us gushing with our own Galaxy Nexus.

I want to talk about rooting and romming this sucker already.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus Delayed, Hitlers Reaction - YouTube

 

[anon(20593)]

Samsung or Google or VZW *never* did officially announce a launch date. People have been scavenging through Best Buy and other records and have come up with the December 9 date. So technically, they may not agree that this is a delay of any sort at all.

If they had announced a launch data and then not launched it on that day, their stocks would have taken a big beating and we would have never have heard the end of how Google's new flagship phone got off to a disastrous start, and endless speculation on what bugs the phone might have and turned a million people into skeptics rather than buyers. Also true if the phone had been launched and then people found all types of bugs in it. *Nobody* wants a disaster at launch, trust me.

The fact that the phone launched in England and Canada is evidence that they're sorting out Verizon-related issues.

So I keep telling myself that all this wait is worth it and they're testing and re-testing and making sure all phones are fine and that their own network is ready to take on the onslaught of 4G that Galaxy Nexus will bring with it.

Just like you scavenge through threads posting the same thing? If bugs were there why ship the phones to stores? That isn't something you do if the phones still aren't ready for prime time. Sorry VZW sympathizer/employee I don't buy that excuse.

So what will VZW do about all the Galaxy Nexus that have been shipped and delivered to stores? Will they recall them once the problems have been solved?

No. See, android has this awesome feature called the Over-The-Air update. It allows a carrier like, say, Verizon to find the issue, get a software update issued to google, and have google push it out to devices in the form of a mandatory launch update. That way if there's a case where the modems need an update and not a hardware problem, like with the nexus, they can do it without recalling anything.

(in case you couldn't tell, my post is dripping with sarcasm)

This phone is supposed to come out this week, there's a huge ratings game on Sunday night football, which verizon sponsors, and no advertising of the nexus whatsoever.

Verizon just hates this phone apparently.

The audience that watches those games is not the audience that will buy this phone. That, and the nfl mobile app doesn't play nice with ICS yet, so it'd be stupid to advertise it during a football game. (and that's ignoring the fact that Verizon has NEVER advertised a non droid phone prior to it release being announced)

Thanks for pointing out that i don't want to buy this phone. I wasn't aware till you just told me.

And i agree... advertising to a massive national audience would be stupid. Only dumb jocks and apple fan boys watch football.
