Verizon’s latest minimum advertised pricing (MAP) list has added two devices that are no doubt on everyones short list for the holidays. The fan favorite has to be the Galaxy Nexus (Prime), but the HTC Rezound (Vigor) is no slouch in the specs department and HTC certainly has a loyal following amongst the Android faithful.
Considering what these phones have to offer it will probably come as no surprise that they are grabbing Verizon’s top pricing at $299.99 on a 2-year contract. We had a nice run there when $199 was the worst they would do to us, but clearly those days are gone for now.
Does $299 seem like a fair price for these devices to you? How does the November 10th release date sit with you? Should they have pushed to get it closer to the iPhone’s release or is just making sure it is out in time for the holidays good enough?
I only care about the unsubsidized price. I am anticipating paying out the ass for this thing.
$299 on a contract does seem a bit excessive. Hopefully when they do get around to launching an ICS device on Sprint, as usual, the hype will have come down along with the cost.
Do you guys think it will be available unlocked in november in the U.S. ? Which stores?

I'm sure you can get one unsubsidized at any Verizon store. Just tell them you're going to activate it later or its a gift.
Looking at the price from one of the UK stores already advertising it for £514.80 ($813) VAT included and £429 ($628) base for the 16gig model. Of course that's before any official pricing is available so take with a Mt. Everest size grain of salt.
I am going to get the 32gig GSM version as soon as it hits the street. My N1 is getting long in the tooth.

I just read at phandroid.com that UK will be getting only the 16GB version. That's a nogo for me. I need either expandable memory or a 32GB. That sucks big time!!!

Just curious, but what do people use all of that space for? I'd initially think music, but with Google Music streaming everything or Pandora that seems less feasible. What would the extra 16GB of storage go to?

Well for starters I fly a lot so Pandora or a cloud is out of the question for me. I have several gigabytes of music, not counting that I want to use that gorgeous HD screen to watch movies(each movie in HD is about 2GB or more) and play games. That's without adding all the 1080p videos that I'll be taking. Hence, I need more that 16GB. The new Razr has an sd card slot, and it has hdmi port built in to watch Netflix in HD on your big screen tv. I may tilt toward the Razr this time.

I hope those days are accurate, i took off work for then just in case. Dont see the Razor listed and we know for sure it launches Nov?

I've heard confirmation of BB Friday morning at open, should be the regular $199.99 price with contract that is being advertised. From my experience, BB hasn't dropped prices until pretty much everybody else has, but I guess it's never too late to change
They will price match though!

Im actually hoping that the 149.99 walmart price will hold through to the brick and mortar stores. Then with a little luck you can persuade best buy to match. Otherwise 199.99, but Im not sweating it too much. Im going to either sell or trade my evo, which should help me out quite a bit. Then with having to carry a phone for work they will kick in some monies for a new device every year. I just have to find someone to have one in stock on launch. I just got off the phone with my sprint store, which is a sprint store by wireless paradise, and the said that they are backordered bad. He then proceeded to tell me Sammy didnt make enough and that Im going to quite lucky to get one on launch.... I will be the worlds saddest panda if I dont get one of these. I havent been this hyped about a device since lite brite.

Employees cant buy them till next month unless your doing a straight up contract like a normal customer. But we just looked in RSS (inventory) and it looks like 5 per store. My buddy watched them unload and from the truck to the cabinet 5 was it.
BTW, 199.99 You may get your store to price match walmarts 149 but its gonna depend if the manager will honor it. I like my 2nd job so Im not pushing the issue.
Hi,
I'm a moderator over at Android Forums. I regularly get leaks from a Vz insider. I wanted to share this information, as I didn't think it was fair to be miserly with it. S/he says the phone is coming out on 11/17.
I posted the complete messages here. S/he gives the reason it's coming out on the 17th in the follow-up message that I liked in the the url above.
Sincerely,
Steven
I'm reserving myself to the possibility that we'll get a November 30th release. That way, anything else is better and I don't bug out until then.
On the other hand, you did get me to re-activate my account on your forums. (and consider premium...)

I don't blame you. I am fortunate that T-mobile and At&t work pretty well in my city. Verizon is the best but, at my house the other two carriers work just as good if not better.

Yeah, major city (Columbia, SC) and Sprint's 3G never exceeds 300 kb/s. 4G? Forget about it, at least until they get their LTE built, but that may not happen until 2013, and I'm not waiting until then. I may come back if they get LTE and unlimited data in my area, but it doesn't look good as far as the unlimited data goes.
I'm waiting to get the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon for a couple of reasons. One being the current double data promotion and the other being I can get a 19 percent discount through my employer, so I can get 10 gigs of data each month for like 94 bucks a month, or 4 gigs for 74 bucks a month.
Oh look, the guy who wrote that pre-orders open today is now quoting Lee Johnston: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117220625678034723010/posts/bYLDTzCfoRV
I think these two should get together and host a seminar on how to talk out of your ass.
I just called verizon
I just called verizon and spoke with a rep. he did not even know when. so I asked him this "do you feel it will be out before christmas" and he told me "well I honestly cant tell you for sure because even I am unaware of when the release or pre-orders start for the nexus, but if you haven't seen any ads or much marketing for the Galaxy Nexus then it will probably won't be here until early next year, but again that is only my speculation." So even a Verizon Rep has little faith in his own company.

This probably won't matter too much to our American readers, but the 32GB version of the GSM Galaxy Nexus has been canceled according to Expansys and Negri Electronics. Initially the latest Nexus device was supposed to be sold in both 32 and 16 gigabyte varieties. But, for whatever reason, the larger capacity model never made it to market. Now, word is that it may never happen. A couple of importers are saying they've been notified by Samsung that handset has been discontinued, which is particularly bad news since the Gnex (as the cool kids are calling it) doesn't have a microSD slot. We hope you like streaming all your media.

Way to go google. Nexus was supposed to be the champion phone that helped break some of the chains of the carriers yet here we are chained to 16gb and possible data charges.
Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
Relatively small amount of storage is the only thing about my GNex I hate.
While this is pretty surprising I just don't think that high of a % of people really need more than 16gb of storage.
I might be a bit of a fringe case on the other side, but I've yet to use more than 5gb on my phone (including the OS). Been using the phone for a few weeks now and have 11.3gb free. Even if you're an app and music fanatic, there is no situation in which you'll need 15gb of media on the device at any given time.
I get having to remove things to sideload a movie or two is annoying, but who does that on a regular basis, really?
On devices like the iPhone that widely offer 16gb, 32gb and 64gb models I'd venture to guess somewhere in the 85% of sales are of the 16gb.

I'm sure it works great for some people. But I found that when I'm out biking, streaming music is very unreliable on T-Mobile here in the Phoenix area, so I have to keep my music on my device. I also tend to download a lot of pod casts and videos, streaming just hasn't been reliable enough for me.
Regarding the 32GB GSM model being cancelled. Not surprised. The Nexus gets zero respect from hardware manufactures and carriers. Google seems to have pretty much no leverage and is already bending to their demands (Verizon apps and branding on a Nexus? Wow).
I hope Google goes with Motorola and has enough influence with their new purchase to do the next Nexus right. Galaxy Nexus is a good phone, I like it, but Samsung did half ass a few things and definitely is more interested in it's own Galaxy S line than this Nexus.

I feel for those that care about this, but I don't. I switch music out on my phone quite a bit and have many apps installed , half of them I could probably delete and not care. I still have around 3G free, which is plenty.

What about people who get spotty data coverage or no data coverage in locations?
The cloud is great iff you can access it.
I simply see no reason to use expensive and resource intensive networked resources when a little bit of cheap flash would do.

Then this is NOT the phone for them, "These are not the Droids you're looking for", as it were. Pretty simple really. Plenty of options out there. God forbid they would get a PMP for their media needs...
A phone is primarily a communication device first, at least for me.
lol i bought this phone because i wanted direct aosp support. i don't care about otas and 32gb storage. And have you people ever heard about OTG for your massive storage needs?
hope google does indeed success in buying motorola mobility though.

What's OTG?

Check Negri Electronics twitter page. Samsung isn't making any more accessories for the GSM variant.

I was one of the people who switched to sprint during the scare of a buyout of tmobile from the evil empire. Well I used this phone a whole great deal while working as a person tech to download drivers and such. Now sprint is terminating my contract and I have to move elsewhere. I am wondering who is the best alternative to sprint, and wondering what phone to get. I also want to know about where I can sell this phone.

Well I think it all depends on how much your looking to spend and how much talk/text/data you need a month.

Meh If I was not on sprint I would be on Verizon just for reasons of coverage. Though id love to be back on a GSM carrier.
Did T-Mobile cover your needs? If so, just go back to them. I know they're on par with Sprint as far as pricing goes.

Yeah if I chose a postpaid carrier I would probably go with Verizon for CDMA or T-Mobile for GSM.
For prepaid I would probably go with straight talk.

After going through some of the choices I narrowed it down to the following:
HTC rezound
Droid razor max
Tmobile version of this phone
Any others I should be taking a look at? I only root and run vanilla OS.

I would go RAZR MAXX if you dont mind the locked bootloader, just on size and battery life. But being the tinkerer I am I would end up on the GNEX in the current selection sadly.
If I were you I would port my et4g over to page plus or something and wait a few months for the gs3 to drop and go back to T-Mobile at that point

At&t is a union company. If you support the working class that is where you should go.
Sell the phone on Ebay.

I say get unlock galaxy note and get straight talk sim and its prepraid that what im doing but im still keeping my sprint line
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
How about Boost Mobile that way you can still possibly keep your phone. I know they are affiliated with sprint but I don't think they will hate on you because of that. Question what was the reason they terminated your contract?
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
I know Credo has this phone (exact same version), don't know about pricing though.
I pay 106 a month without discounts. Anyone else paying this amount?

That explains AT&T's higher priced plans. IS that why the OP already called them evil empire.
Definitely find the coverage and plan that fits you but I always tell people to pick the phone that you know you will like. Settling for a device that we use for so many things even before rooting is not going to end well.
Good luck.
At least any of the other major networks will be a huge upgrade over sprint in data speeds. I came to sprint from T mobile and I really regret it. Though I think my sprint phones are awesome, they are crippled by an awful network.

Actually, here's the reason for AT&T's high priced plans. Randall Stephenson compensation Now for a point of reference here is the compensation for the POTUS
Randy had AT&T buy his house when Corporate HQ was moved from San Antonio to Dallas. He and his family enjoy free health care for life.

Scratch ATT from my ever use list. Know I know why their coverage sucks, you drop calls, get the echo, and everyone there seems like the customer is a PITA.
Scratch Samsung too. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$.

So who are we supporting through AT&T, the management or workers?

Actually, as a member (unemployed) of local 613, I do understand labor union priorities and politics. I don't have a problem with unions in general but do not for one second proclaim their method of operation as a universal fit for everyone. It isn't.
As someone who is working (cue scary voice) non-union, I shouldn't be criticized for doing what is necessary to provide for my family in both where I work or whose phone service I select. (getting back to the topic of phones)
That attitude is a large part of how Apple operates (trying to stay on topic) and since we are h4x0rs, we must recognize that sometimes the universal fit, is not for us.
To the OP -I apologize for my contribution to the thread jack.
