Verizon will call it the Nexus Prime !

[FireAndGlass]

And you guys are notorious for waiting till the last minute to get anything printed and then expect projects to be completed yesterday.

+1,000,000 Marketers are the worst at demanding things at the last minute

This is good news - this is how Verizon can have an "exclusive" and the rest of us can get a GSM Galaxy Nexus, because no one else will have the Prime

Legal loopholes are amazing things.

Not sure if this has been stated already but...wouldn't "Prime" be taken already by the new ASUS transformer? I realize it's a tablet but seems like more confusion and potential legal troubles than it would be worth.

but if it is coming out on the 1st( the ad) and it does not say coming soon next to the phone it would mean the phone is out by the time the ad comes out.

Not true, the ad is good until the end of Dec. So it would not make sense to put "Coming Soon" on the ad if the phone is out a week after the ad and the ad is good for the whole month. After Dec 8th it would still say "Coming Soon" but the phone would already be out.

Same reason 11/27/11 means nothing, that is just when the pricing on the ad starts. Means nothing as far as when one phone in the whole ad will be released.

Phew....now I don't regret getting "Nexus Prime" tattooed on my arm back in July...

You got it tattooed on your arm?! D'oh! Why didn't I think of that?!

It's humorous so many want-to-be-relevant tech blogs have run with the pictures that came from this forum. Many sites are posting as if the name has actually been changed.

Such is the state of this device.

ha yeah. And then they try to say it somehow means that it's coming on 11/27 instead of seeing that it's actually a monthly ad.

Verizon Calls it the Galaxy Nexus

Thinking that the best buy ad was an error....

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0 Smartphone | Verizon Wireless

Nexus Prime and Transformer Prime are not the same name. I don't see confusion nor legal issues.

Doesn't matter. The phone isn't called the Nexus Prime.

You may not, but the average consumer might. I could certainly see asus making that argument. And either way, Nemov is right. Its not going to happen - Best Buy doesnt have a clue. It'll be the Galaxy Nexus.

 

[mynewride]

i cant believe all the pages that ran with this silly picture of mine. its crazy. like within hours it was plastered on every tech page from here to china. some making crazy claims as to the release dates. all i wanted to show was the name and price. primarily the price. who would have known my little pictures would have recieved world wide fame

most of these ppl didnt even research enough to find out that a price was listed....lol

i still cant believe how this went global...its unreal.

maybe it will catch verizons eyes and they will announce something?

i just really want my new phone. (i sound so lame wanting a silly phone this bad)

 

[cj100570]

i just went into best buy mobile and they showed me a buyers guide that will be released dec. 1. it shows the nexus prime to ve available under 2 yr contract for 299. it doesnt list any specs so the phone could be slightly different.

ad states the following:

"Combine the best features you love from honeycomb and gingrebread os and you get the ice cream sandwich (android 4.0). More customization and faster ways to get new features like 3d maps, voice search and commands, and google +"

2 year plan 299
2 year upgrade 299
2 year add a line 299
no contract 799

Since Verizons very own landing page calls it the "Galaxy Nexus" I'd pay that Best Buy BS, how many times now have they been wrong with dates and photo-shopped pics?, no mind at all.

 

[humpagardengnome]

If memory serves me well, after the Nexus was spotted in the halls of VzW, and the Prime codename and early specs. leaked. Then all the Droid Prime vs Nexus Prime got bantered about. Didn't someone @ Samsung state that the device wouldn't be identified by that cuz Prime was associated w/ an altogether different device? This happened long before the Hong Kong unpacking of ICS.

I call about 20 min ago and talk to the verizon costumer service rep and ask about the galaxy, and she tell me no date yet probably by xmas because they where fixing several bugs related with the lte and the software

Who you talking to w/ this^. I just nearly got banned for cracking a joke about that guy. That name is way to close to my post, for comfort.

 

[Dustindejohn]

Wo! Sorry was talkin about wdfalco not you at all

My God, you people really need to get a life.......it's a damn phone!!!!

Put down your game console down, quit texting and go outside.......it's Friday night......go somewhere where other people (living human beings) are and actually speak to them.
