They need to make a T-mobile version with the T-mobile GS2 back cover! I'll take that wayyyyy over the current pokey one! Thicken the back with a bigger battery and make that hump disappear! I want a nice ergonomic phone this time around! :D:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
I'm holding off the import only because the GSM version is the lesser 16GB model. Whether or not the US gets it is of no concern to me. I just have a strong hunch the 32GB model is going to be released the same or following week that the 16 is out.

Anyways... all this lack of info is killing me... At the end of the day, all that can really be said is "Wtf Google.../Samsumg.../Carriers"...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
Looks like verizon will be selling the 32GB variant

http://briefmobile.com/galaxy-nexus-training-material-shows-up-at-verizon

Edit: shows at bottom on the comparison chart
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
It's strange how they didn't specify like 16gb/32gb...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
Its on the comparison chart at bottom...say 32gb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No he's saying its weird that they ONLY have the 32gb listed. Rather than 2 different versions: 16gb/32gb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
What I find interesting, now seeing actual word from verizon, is how they phrase this whole exclusive BS

"Verizon Wireless is the exclusive launch partner for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE smartphone" ..

Somewhat seems to me like they have exclusivity over the 4G LTE version... a play on words for advertising imo... just like the rest of that "Feature highlights" page is filled with for VZW employees to learn

This really just adds to the hunch that Google wouldn't forfeit their very own Nexus and ICS flagship device over to a single carrier over the holidays.

I think TMO and ATT (perhaps others, or just unlocked) will get the "GSM" version of the phone in Nov or very early Dec... probably Nov imo, guess we'll see though... Still really seems like Verizon is just doing their typical Marketing sh^^ with this whole Exclusive thing

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

Oh hah my bad.. I didnt even read the article. Rushed right to the pics then my post ;p The article said the exact same thing I posted earlier..

Ah well all my worries about the Nexus are gone :) Certain Tmo will get this in Nov. Glad I didnt import, only thing that remains to be seen now is whether Tmo will get 32GB as well...

It does seem rather likely only the LTE version would have 32GB if u think about it.. Why only put 16GB into the GSM model? Since LTE is thicker, there is more room (because of the radio) for other things, like increased storage. That would explain why VZW is only selling a 32GB as well, and not 16 / 32 ...

Google has no reason to not bump 16 gigs to 32 gigs unless they felt it really wouldnt fit inside the thin HSPA model.. ah well :) As the shroud of uncertainty slowly lifts from this device, i feel a lot better by the day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Haha well I have to say, I truly admire your optimism!

All rumors and all evidence from the past 3 months all point to the GM being exclusive to Verizon in the US. It is true that there is no cognitive proof yet and it's possible another carrier might be selling it and Verizon's marketing is just a clever technicality. But I think that's extremely unlikely and I don't share your optimism.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
I gotcha..Oops my bad!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Lol its cool. I think of it more as certainty from reasoning rather than blind optimism.

I keep up with all the Android news, not sure what you mean when you say that All the rumors/evidence point to a Verizon US-Exclusive. Do you remember what/where you heard something hinting to that? All I know is that Verizon started out with "Droid Prime" rumors that eventually were just revealed to be an LTE model of the same Nexus, and then the banner on the VZW site said "exclusively from ----" or somethnig..

there has been really nothing (i can remember) that points to or even remotely hints at Verizon holding exclusivity over the entire G-Nexus line, instead of just their "4G LTE" model.

edit: Actually, looking back at that Droid Prime nonsense (lol), it makes sense verizon would call their LTE model an "exclusive".. initially there were thought to be two seperate phones (Nexus prime and VZW's Droid Prime)... turns out its just HSPA+ and LTE models, but it would stand that Verizon would consider (and always have.. perhaps thats why there was thought to be a seperate Droid Nexus in the first place) their LTE model as a "seperate" phone in order to call it an exclusive ... honestly, whenever I hear that word, it makes me go "OOOO" too (not with this phone.. but still, in general).. plus Verizon is known to be a Marketing behemoth and pull out any and all stops for their big phones.. why not slap an Exclusive label onto their phone?

Also the Exclusive banner from their site was pulled.. why? ill leave that one up in the air, isnt too hard to figure it out now lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnydopemsr:
microSIM

http://briefmobile.com/images/articles/25.jpg
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
if you look at the wording they are using it says as follow . remember these are just my opinions :)

"EXCLUSIVE TO VERIZON WIRELESS".

Which suggests that the phone itself is exclusive. I believe when it comes to claiming exclusivity, the wording you use is key. If not you run the risk of looking like a fool if it isnt. I believe if it were to be a technicality as some are hoping (including myself) then it would say the following...

"Launching exclusively on Verizon wireless" - this would suggest they have exclusive launching rights to the nexus line and a GSM will follow.... OR

"LTE Galaxy Nexus, exclusive to Verizon Wireless" - This would suggest the LTE version

as for the banner going up and vanishing...i believe it was put up prematurely and some one got slapped in the hand for doing so.. thus removed. We may see it again once it is officially announced...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Only for LTE. I'm expecting GSM to use regular full-sized SIM cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Only the LTE SIM card. The GSM SIM is probably normal. They had to do this eventually, the phones are too slim and LTE SIMs were actually larger than the "standard" mini-SIM that most GSM phones use.

Even if the GSM SIM is micro that's not a big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
With all the talk about the phone being exclusive to Verizon or not, the Samsung website does ask for "Carrier Preference" when you sign up for notifications.

http://www.samsung.com/us/register/galaxynexus/

AT&T and T-Mobile are in the choices. So I guess they come later?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
You're talking about the comparison chart? Yeah I noticed that. I think (with the same level of 100% certainty.. lol....) that they can boldly put "Exclusive to Verizon" because the phone its listed under is the LTE Galaxy phone, notice the Band stated as CDMA, the internal storage as 32gb, and some other things that only the VZW phone would have... (storage is still uncertain, but the CDMA band box pretty much shows that the "Galaxy Nexus" in the chart is indeed the 4G LTE "phone"..aka model.

Also that comparison chart says at the top "Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone comparison" which further implies/states/blablaba that the Nexus listed there is just the 4G model :)

ANYWAYYSS, everything above is just my opinion, but I would bet my Alienware that the Nexus won't be truly "exclusive" to Verizon.

(BTW, new news! :D) The VZW GNex will be Online-Order on 11/21, says a new roadmap that was just leaked. Will probably be online-only for a week then released in stores on Black Friday :P

.... soo the rest of the world gets the Nexus before Verizon gets their exclusively lame Nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
they had the same choices on other phones they released. the sgs2 had the same seven and there is no sgs2 on metropcs and a few others

probably right ...they could be the only carrier to subsidize with a contract, while all the rest must buy it full price.. ya never know.. all i know is that some sort of an announcement has to be made this week.. this is getting ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Why? They're under no obligation to announce anything. They've never said anything formal about a date other than "November". So why does that mean that they

must

announce something this week? If they announce it the day that its available for sale then the phone still becomes available... You know its coming so who cares about the formality of them sending out a press release that its coming?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Ohhh i seee:p

Random question @BiGMERF, how did you get 2Day free shipping on negri?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
The release date and pricing are kind of important to... a lot of people

How do you know when to start saving up $700 or even when you need it by? How do you know how much to even save up in the first place, if you'll be able to afford it, or even if it will come to your service provider.

All this info is up in the air and anybodies guess is as good as the nexts, which is why its frustrating. What harm could there be in releasing this bit of info through a "leaked" document that will only get into the hands of online phone creepers like us? The 99% of consumers don't give two sh^^s about release dates or upcoming phones so the RAZR or Rezoudn won't have the spotlight stolen anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
they can announce the razr and the rezound and cant do the same for the galaxy nexus? why not?

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

negotiating :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
I feel like we are going to get big news tomorrow about the Nexus. The 7th would be the ideal time to "announce" the Nexus. Can't wait for tomorrow :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Share your secrets! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
No secret. Lol. Someone, i dont know who said they saw the deal from one of my tweets. So they contacted me on twitter and told me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You've got to realize that no one but extremely nerdy individuals are aware of this phone yet. No one but us is saving up for this phone. They'll announce it when its ready to be sold and then people will know about it for the first time.

Because Verizon had those phones made for them exclusively. They're controlling the entire process of the RAZR and Rezound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
it seems they are controlling the NEXUS as well.. imo of course
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
I hate Verizon. I'm also a little confused as to why Google decided to make a Nexus device exclusive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
Does anyone know if the date that unlocked-mobiles.com uses is to be trusted?

Here in Norway the phone does not come untill december, and i want to preorder from UK :) (please use the reply button if yuo want to reply me)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I think their date is trustworthy :) I'm almost certain that a few other people ordered from them too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Actually, ive encountered a couple peeps that dont know two squats about phones ask me about this phone. And ive overheard a couple iphone owners talk about it at work. Somehow this phone has crossed with non nerds. I gather this phone will be a lot more popular than the first two nexus if it doesnt completely bomb on the hardware side.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I ordered from them! I hope the date is right and my phone ships tomorrow!!! Ahhhhh!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
LUCKY YOU! I have to wait till the 17th on Negri! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
i have a friend in the UK calling them tomorrow morning for me. I will report back. im thinking they have it confused with the galaxy note
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Goole didn't make the Nexus a Version exclusive. Verizon is a marketing behemoth and cleverly decided to tack on an Exclusive label to their Nexus 4g LTE phone, which is completely separate from from the other model. Verizon gets the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE smartphone exclusively.

Sent from the parietal lobe of your cerebral cortex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
bingo. you got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
That is your opinion.

I think that Verizon had a financial agreement with Google to be the exclusive provider of the Galaxy Nexus in the US. And this exclusivity period will cover all models and could last anywhere from 30 days to six months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankushkatari:
Costco US for $289 by Verizon

http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_nexus_to_be_priced_at_289_at_costco-news-3354.php
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just don't think Google would ever let Verizon keep them from selling unlocked GSM phones in the USA to Android developers. If they for some reason do have an exclusive for all of the US, it sure as hell won't be 6 months lol.

Old news :P Good to get confirmation though. We kinda all assumed it was going to be $299 from Verizon. And Costco is usually just a touch cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Gotta love how old news to us means a day or two day old news :p

http://www.androidcentral.com/nov-21-enters-galaxy-nexus-date-grab-bag

I hope thats not old news :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
that's how it goes.

that came out late last night too :P I'd say that qualifies as new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
Ok, great :)

Think i'm gonna order from clove or amazon if unlocked-mobiles has the date wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
The date is wrong. They are shipping the 17th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
For those who were hoping the galaxynexus would not be a Verizon exclusive.watch this video at the 3 min mark http://goo.gl/O48Rx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
I think he's saying that because the Nexus will be Verizon's first Galaxy phone then all major carriers in the US will have a Galaxy offering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Dear Customer

Thank you for your recent Pre-Order.

Samsung UK have advised us that stock of the Galaxy Nexus is now due to be delivered to us on the 17th November.

This delay is out of our control. However, you have our assurance that we will ship orders as soon as the stock arrives.

We thank you for your patience.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely

The Unlocked Mobiles.com Team
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
if only we all shared your optimism. IMO this confirms we will never see them in a carrier store or on contract. At best this is an unlocked purchase via a retail store or online
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoicesX:
I received the same mail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Amazon replied that the product release has been delayed and that December 2 release is not a batch issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
you guys over the pond actually have it on Amazon :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Yeah, it was actually the first place it appeared on-sale for. Amazon is doing a really good tech-business in Europe. But this is also why them delaying the release is a bad sign across the board, since they are much larger than all the other sellers and are in direct contact with Samsung.

They would not delay unless it was serious.

This actually might be the result of lukewarm opinions on Galaxy Nexus and the pre-release phones being quite buggy at times. Being a software developer myself, I know that few weeks is never enough time to iron these things out and they must be afraid of less than positive reviews once it is released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
I suppose. but realistically I miss having my Nexus phones soo much I say give it to me now fix bugs later :),
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
Considering all the crappy delays, logistic problems that samsung is having... I've asked our dear ebayer for a refund. A good paying customer shouldn't have to go through all this uncertainty!

If they can delay from 17th Nov to 2nd Dec, they can delay it to 2nd Jan and so forth... words empty as wind are best left unsaid. They should mourn over Jobs for another month or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
Is all the UK models delayed, or just the ones over at amazon?

Cuz i can see that both clove and unlocked-mobiles.com has the date set to 17/11/11.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
thats what I want an unlocked galaxy nexus from other retailers, I am still bound to contract so I dont care galaxy nexus comes out in other carriers, all I want is unlocked gsm sold at best buy, target, etc still hoping they will release an unlocked gsm at the same day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
Has the fellow responded back to you? I sent him an email as well, lets see if he responds and refunds the money.

I sick of the delays, I'm going to the TMO store tomorrow to pick up an SGS II and root it. It should keep me happy for 3-4 months, and then I'll sell it and get the GN when it becomes officially available in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I've been emailing him since last Thursday, again on Friday and Sunday... Still waiting for the reply...

Opened a case last week so the worse case scenario, I wait till Friday and call eBay again for my money!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Ok got some good news for those of you guys who followed my lead and ordered from Negrielctronics.. i have spoken with them, they are not aware of any delay and said they still expect shipment between the 16th and 19th. they will let me know if it changes though

Also I was told all that have ordered to date WILL be in the first batch!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Whats up with the price bump?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
i dont know..lol. they said they were selling them below cost.. which if you look at it with the coupon they were selling them about 50 less than others.. I think they secretly blame me for that. HAHAHAHa.. Thats why i shared it everywhere i could
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lightning N1:
Great news about large first batch, but they should take the hit on the limited number sold at original price, happy custormers within the Android development community is very cheap advertising. Just look at how their Twitter numbers have jumped:D If things end up being limited in the states they will make tons of sales once the phones are out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
Good to hear. Got the phone for $680 and will be in the first batch. Good news indeed. Nice looking out BiGMERF!!!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
@bigmerf

Good info bro!!

Hey, now that their price has changed do you think they will still honor our CC authorization of $680??....Some places have a policy on preorders that if the price goes up or down that they would either credit or make you pay the difference. Of course they would let know you know beforehand to verify if you want to keep your order but Ive never dealt with Negri before. I think you previously mentioned that you have done business with them before, do you know if they treat their preorders this way??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
I hope not. I mean, they had it priced at $715 for the longest, I think just to gain attention/preorders then once they see what the price is of others they'll raise theirs, but undercut the comp. $769.50 vs $780 at most other places. Maybe they know people using the $35 off coupon so they still make money if people use it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
They'll honor the price according to their twitter.

And expansys has it for $749 or something don't they?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
They sent out a tweet saying that preorders were safe. there twitter acct is @negrielectronics. hit em up , or on g+ its ryan negri
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
I hope not either. Ive preordered from a couple sites like that in the past. They put that disclaimer out there for the buyers to be aware of. But Ive never been charged extra or credited cuz the price never changed. But in this case the price changed so it made me think of that. I hope it isnt the case...

I think you are right though...

any word yet for 32gb model?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
nope and do not expect any for some time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Damn. I'm starting to get twitchy. I know if I buy the 16 now I'll just regret it. It's a hassle to resell. Bah!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
In the tweet ..They did say our preorder were safe but they would also contact us about price change...hmmmm

"Price increase on the #GalaxyNexus If you pre-ordered your order is safe and you will be contacted regarding the price change."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
did you contact them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
That info came from a response I saw on a previous post on their twitter!

I did contact them earlier thru live chat, and they told me they couldnt tell me anything til next week. I have not contacted them thru twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
ok the more we get to ask the clearer the picture will get
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyyankees3511:
lol I thanked you by accident lcrkz, im pissed about negri raising the price. Oh well ill see what happens in the next few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savaron:
Just in case some germans are around:

I just ordered a new 24 month o2 Blue 100 Basic Plus contract and payed 120€ up front and 10€ each month for the Galaxy Nexus, wich makes a total of only 360€.. Other contracts and prices are comparable at geizhals.at.

there on fb an gplus too

Seems the increase may effect us , we have to wait for an email
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
Nope, but it's been only 12 hours? He never bothered replying me on the time I need to wait because of shipping. That mail was sent out before his mass email. Having only sold 50 sets, it really isn't hard to reply all our queries... especially after charging us the full amount for it.

Think I'll wait got samsung to finish ordering the components, finish delaying before I get a set. Way too irritated by their trashy marketing and back end logistics. Gotta say Apple >> samsung for this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Its really annoying how he just doesn't reply to the emails. He's just making me wait longer for my refund when it could be done way sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm just still gobsmacked that a Nexus phone is an exclusive. Unbelievable to me.

how much did you guys preorder for? here's mine:
