When can we order the new Galaxy Nexus?

I've been holding onto my old Droid for a long time now and am finally ready to upgrade. So when can we get our hands on the new Nexus?

I was very tempted by the Bionic but I'm glad I waited now. I have to admit that the new Razr from Moto looks great but in the end I want Ice Cream Sandwich.

Anybody hear any rumors about when it will be available for pre-order?

last rumor i saw was sometime in nov

i think it speculated nov 10th

i would say the it would be before black friday

and since vzw likes thursday release the 10th or the 17th looks good for release

with pre-order coming 1-2 weeks prior

how does pre order work? Is it done online, stores or both?

usually online

but remember this is just speculation

the dates have not been announced

and typically vze only gives @ 1 week notice prior to pre-order or release

heck they may not even have pre-orders, it just may be a release

This is a sexy looking phone!! Looks amazing and should be an amazing experience with Ice Cream Sandwich running on that 720HD display!

VZW announced it.

Considering they moved up the Razr pre-order period last week. Seems like that was done to spread out the onslaught of incoming traffic for the 2 releases to follow. They'll likely have one to lessen & gauge the in store demand upon release.

I have been reading (and seeing the MAP [Minimum Advertised Price] leaks) for the past week. They have been fairly accurate up to now. All signs point to November 10th. About a week before the Galaxy Nexus gets released, Verizon, Wirefly, and Amazon should put it up for pre-order. Of course, both Wirefly and Amazon will be a lot cheaper than Verizon (plus, no tax...and Verizon charges tax on the full purchase [retail] price, not the price you pay, so no tax wil save you around $54 [based on a $600 retail price] or more).

This is my next phone. I have a Droid X2, but I want a phone that wasn't a quick throw together job to capitalize on an earlier versions name (Droid X). I am still interested in the HTC Rezound (horrid name, I like Vigor better). Its going to be a screaming phone (1.5 GHZ dual core CPU). Also, the Droid Razr is a sweet looking phone, but the fact that they (Moto & Verizon) are locking it down and throwing a bunch of bloatware on it make it a no go for me. I love the idea of a pure Google experience phone...no bloat and the first for updates (instead of waiting 6 months for Motorola to cram all their junk [blur] on top of it and causing all sorts of issues). I can't wait, but unfortunately I have to. ;(

HURRY UP NOVEMBER 10th!!!!!!

Hello Community members!

I know were all excited about the Galaxy Nexus! I'm getting anxious to. Here's a link to sign up and be notified when its released or new information is available.

Before you ask yes I also signed up too.

Thank you

That was not really an answer now, was it? Verizon does not seem to understand that their subscribers want this phone, not the bloated Rezound or Droid razr. They are nice phones but this is getting ridiculous, VZW passed on the SG II for this and now we find that ATT will be getting the LTE SG II before we get the Nexus! Granted ATT doesn't have a network :smileyhappy: but without a phone what good does the network do? It is the network that keeps me here, for now, but that may not last forever.

If the delay is because of a supply issue or a last minute bug to get ironed out then that is understandable; if it is so you can lure people to Crapple or the other bloated phones then that is just **bleep**.

My understanding is that the purpose of signing up for the notification is to be kept updated on what is up with the Nexus. I signed up within hours of the sign up page going live and am just as in the dark as before. Please put out something! If you think sticking your head in the sand and letting the rumor mills churn is helping your status in the industry, think again.

Enough ranting, thanks for listening

To clarify above the "bleep" was for two initials b and s nothing foul :smileyhappy:

I am waiting to switch from Sprint to Verizon as soon as the Nexus comes out, but the waiting is agony! Why keep us guessing at dates? I hope Verizon will release an official date, although the Razr looks good, I will still wait for the Nexus! Please Verizon stop making us wait! Thanks

Hey Everyone,

New here, and really glad to be here - I'm waiting with ya all too for the "Nexus."

Anyway, anyone know: I heard it will be able to act as WIRELESS "HUB" - for up to 4 or 5 other devices - yes, definitely heard this!

However, not sure, but may need to pay for this, but regardless - any real technical folks know - will most of the higher-end PRINTERS that use "e-Print" for example - think that those printers will be able to detect the device? I ask because I'd like to be able to print wireless to these PRINTERS without a home network/router/cable, and so on (its just me with an aircard for my laptop.).

I know for me and most others it mayseem like a no-brainer - but some really smart tech-savy PRINTER-slaesman aren't so sure. They said, the'ld recommend bring the phone in, that's the only way to know for sure. Anyone know this stuff well enough to say??

Thanks! and again I'll be with you all on this forum - about this phone!! Lets get going VZW, we're wettin' our pants out here already! :smileyvery-happy:

Lets get some Nexus love going Verizon! Bad enough your marketing has been horrible for it. Most normal people (non tech savvy people) havent a clue this device is on its way to you. I almost jumped ship when you failed to aquire the Galaxy S2.. Then i heard the Nexus is comming to VZW just wait... You can thank the fine people at Android Central's web site for that btw...The first device with Android 4.0, and the fact that we will have a device with timely updates for most likely years to come via Google itself (much like Apple with ios)... I do not want a Razor, nor a Bionic, or whatever else is on its way if for any one reason the updates. Of course the low light abilities and speed of the camera, 720 hd super amoled screen, etc, etc... Give a freakin release date please!!!

I would love to see Verizon announce when this phone will be available for order/pre-order/sale.

Can someone up there make a decision? (I'm not talking about the mods, I'm sure they're kept in the dark as much as we are by Verizon).

P3droid already has two galaxy nexus phones, now it is up to verizon to pick a date and release it, the phone is ready.

PJNC284

Those aren't the consumer-ready versions. Could still be some software or network tweaking going on.

I saw a posting on droid-life that accessories are starting to appear in Verizon stores. Not that that should be any indicator of how soon we'll see this thing -- if we see it this year at all.

Unless/until Verizon says something, I'm starting to doubt we'll see this phone before Christmas...

mithmax

That would be terible of Verizon to not release this device until after Christmas... Especially when its in Verizons corner to just release the **bleep** thing.. Apparently a recent news report with Samsung showing the Galaxy Nexus off, and they have put the ball in Verizons court to just announce a date when asked by the reporter. It feels like typical old school big company **bleep** at this point.. And yes to me it is a big deal, and not just "a phone"... I love my technology and don not like to see it paraded in front of me 3 weeks ago ready just to have someone else say your not getting it now, we will tell you when.... I pay VZ plenty for a complete fios package in our home and smartphone plans for the wife and i... Lets get this ball rolling and give a date, theres a large customer base wanting this device and have stuck with your service waiting for it...

Borgey, I've read several of your posts and while you always make good sense, I fail to see the logic of taking your phone business to a clearly inferior network simply for the sake of getting an oh so cool phone. TMobile has been so bad everywhere I travel, I don't see how they are still in business, much less why another loser network wants to buy them. Maybe TMobile is better in your area and I hope so for you and your callers' sake.

Certainly you make a good point in the last post. I have no idea what I would do if I were in your shoes and the decision you are faced with. But when I left AT&T, I swore I'd never again buy a phone If the network stunk (as I did with iPhones and AT&T when the iPhone came out).

Respectfully,
Geri O

And Mithmax, regarding your post, ditto to you, as well.

My want for a Nexus is great. I have had foul runins with htc phones in the past so i have no desire for their devices. Motorola seems to be stuck on this quirky looking droid x theme for most of their device designs which does not appeal to me.. I dont like the camera hump, there i said it.. And you are right "gerio", Verizon is the superior network and i would most likely regret a move to any of the others whos names wont be mentioned by me here again.. Im also a Samsung fan i suppose.. I have their tv's, a Galaxy tab 10.1, and even a freakin Samsung fridge for gods sake and they are all wonderful.. Im just ready to give up my ogdroid at this point and this device is all thats on my radar now...

I think that we will be lucky to see the Nexus before Thanksgiving. Verizon is playing favorites with Motorola and delaying the Nexus to try to give more sales to the Motorola Razr.

IF you doubt this, check out the video with Samsungs VP of Product Planning. During the video, he said that the decision for release and price is up to Verizon.

I dont think the nexus will be as good as you all think. Heard bad reviews already! 5mp camera is 1 cant remember the resr.

EddieBrock

VZW will announce the release once they have been able to optimize all the bloatware for ICS. Like anyone actually uses VZ Navigator...

We still wait with baited breath and our fingers on the pre-order button. Hopefully we will hear something withing this week, as all the Best Buy and VZ ads have been showing up with the Nexus listed...
