[Q] Galaxy Nexus Annoucement this Friday? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Already know that no one really knows what's going on with the release date, but I went to the Verizon store down the road from me, walked in and played stupid to see what I could find out. Of course they stated the obvious that it hasn't been released yet, BUT the Verizon rep I spoke with did say that they are expecting an announcement on the Galaxy Nexus on Friday.
This could mean alot of things. Maybe the announce a release date? Maybe they open up web only ordering? Maybe the announce a delay? (BOO) Or maybe they just do what we're all hoping and just released the phone already!!! Either way, I'm going to see that Verizon rep on Friday expecting positive Galaxy Nexus News!!!!!!

someone else wanted to give back n epic and the store clerk told them to bring it back friay and pre order the galaxy nexus. hmmm

It makes sense. Verizon would be crazy not to release it before Black Friday. Hopefully there's not a big window between pre-order and release date...

I wonder when Verizon's email early announcement will come to life. It was suppose to allow you to be "one of the first to receive a galaxy nexus." It would seem those folks should get word first.

Lol don't worry about an LTE/GSM Nexus, if it actually happens it's going to come out next year at this rate. 32GB has pretty much been nixed save for Verizon's version. The leak for the Nexus in VZW tomorrow stated a WEB ONLY release, so it MIGHT still happen I guess, as December 1/8 is stating that's when they'll get it IN STORES with props and flyers, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

And then in 2013, when AT&T LTE is ready, you can use it!
When the Nexus launches on VZW I'm going to be switching from AT&T to Verizon. I've had AT&T for just about 10 years now, faithfully, but there are certain connections problems I'm just getting sick of dealing with. A few places that get no data connection at all, despite having full service and the bright H+ at the top of the phone (indicating HSPA+). I've already had 2 "4G" phones from AT&T (the Atrix 4G and now Samsung Galaxy S II) and I'm sick of dealing with dead spots.
That said, I believe it will be out on December 8th. Any sooner than that is probably just wishful thinking. If it *does* come out sooner I'll get it first day...but definitely not thinking it will.

Someone in another thread posted a link to Handtec's twitter page where they said they won't have stock until at least the 23rd, so the 21st is a definite no-go.
Why the hell they don't just put that on thier web site is baffling.

Oops. Well then, being that I was just at VZ here in the US this afternoon, and the manager squinted his eyes and said "Galaxy what?", pretty much says it all.
It's pretty large store, and they had no accessories for it either. I would say tomorrow is not going to happen.

Aye. A friend of mine from highschool (has it already been 10 years? yikes) is a regional manager at VZW and he said he still doesn't have a date, but he also said Verizon probably won't tell the employees until it's very close to release because (in his words, not mine) Verizon employees don't have a track record for keeping their lips shut. He did promise me that he doesn't know when the date is and that he would tell me when he does.

That's why I ditched At&t for T-Mobile. At home I have full bars but can't hold a call for nothing. My gf has at&t still and I can never hardly get a hold of her.
We had 4 people over once and we all had full bars but none of us could call out to order a pizza. My friends have labeled my area a cellular black hole. Most of my nieghbors have recently switched too.
T-Mobile works fine but not on the road so much. My work verizon blackberry seems to always work everywhere I go. So I'm thinking of upgrading the blackberry and get rid of my personal line on TMo.
I don't have extra money till Friday so doesn't matter to me. I'm gonna wait it out for a few after release to allow others to figure it out. I want to make sure its gonna suffice. I'm kinda leery of dopey relying on Verizon cause I tether my Asus Transformer when I travel and like to play with it alot.
LTE doesn't bother me. Ill just disable it most of the time to save battery. 3G is fast enough for me for day to day stuff.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Thought this was funny.

Anybody thinks that the delay isn't about pushing the RAZR is crazy.
Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.
You are now chatting with 'Mya'
Mya: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Scott: Do you have any information regarding the release of the galaxy nexus?
Mya: I do not have any information about that phone but I can help you find another great phone today.
Scott: When I switch to Verizon, I just want the galaxy nexus.
Mya: What do you like about that phone?
Scott: Android 4.0, NFC, direct support from google for software updates, 720p Super AMOLED display, stock android software, LTE.
Mya: Have you considered the Droid RAZR?
Scott: I have not, but I do know what the RAZR is. Verizon pushes the Droid line of phones onto its customers.
Scott: It's Verizon's specific line of Android powered phones so that's what they want to sell the most of.
Mya: Well the RAZR is a great phone to consider. Right now the iPhone is a huge seller but it seems like the RAZR would be a better fit for you.
Scott: Why would the RAZR be a better fit?
Mya: Well it is a better phone over the iPhone. It is Android, it is a 4G LTE phone.
Scott: Have you seen or heard about the galaxy nexus?
Mya: I have not, we do not have any information about that phone.
Scott: I mean do you even know what it is?
Mya: I do know what phone you are referring to I just do not have any information about it but the RAZR does have a 4.3" Super AMOLED advanced display.
Scott: So you have heard about the galaxy nexus. Have you read any of the specs about the galaxy nexus?
Mya: I have not.
Scott: The Galaxy Nexus is superior in every way compared to the RAZR. Verizon must want to just sell the RAZR and not the Nexus.
Mya: Is there anything I can help you with regarding a phone that we currently have or a order?
Scott: If you don't have any information regarding the galaxy nexus, then no.
lol mya....

I like how a small delay in the release of a phone causes people to go around harassing customer service reps and radio shack employees.

technically its not that big. I can name at least 5 things that have had longer delays:
1. Droid Bionic
2. Duke Nukem Forever.
3. Arrested Development Movie
4. Chinese Democracy by Guns and Roses.
5. Ghostbusters 3
On topic though, It sucks that they are at least partially delaying this due to the razr.

Nope.
The delay has been anywhere from a week to a month depending on what rumors you bought into. A drop in the bucket.

Verizon never announced a release date...It hasn't even been a full month since the GSM release.
A month is not a large delay in the grand scheme of things.
I find it funny that:
1) You told her you wanted an android phone, so somehow when she tries to tell you about another android phone, the RAZR, it means Verizon is delaying the Nexus for the RAZR?
2) Everyone on this forum knows not to take anything a CSR says without a few thousand grains of salt. And now all of the sudden everything this "online chat rep, Mya", says is true?
Don't get me wrong, I have trolled a handful of CSRs in my time, but using what a CSR says to prove your own theories is just plain stupid.

Must be coincidence too that when I walk into 2 different verizon stores and say I'm looking to switch to verizon, they immediately mention the razr.

They do that because many of these sales people are on commission and would rather sell you phone that is currently available vs. a phone that might be available next week. Since the Nexus won't be out until a later date you could possibly get it from a different store and that is one less customer for them.
Now I agree that corporate might have partially delayed the phone due to the Razr and Rezound, but I think that that happened before the original projected date of Thanksgiving week. I think the most recent delay (last week) had more to do with the either the 4g outage, or the Google Wallet issue.

Well obviously, but that doesn't mean they're delaying the nexus for it you are just coming to your own conclusions with no evidence.

No offense but OP you just sound obnoxious from this conversation. Giving hard time and jeering at a random customer service rep just because your phone is delayed? You could have asked about GN in a more decent way I'm sure.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
While offering a current available phone makes sense... I'm hard pressed to know they don't have some extra incentives for the Razr. Even the Razr vs Rezound. How many times have they pushed the Rezound? Never. They never even mention it unless you specifically ask for it. "Oh yea that phone... its ok"
if u really want the GN now, go with a GSM carrier order it unlocked online...no need to harass/bother CS Reps or Sales Reps..I used to work in the wireless retail industry so I know how it is for those people..Granted I was alot more informed then your average rep because I keep up with tech all the time..many times they do have information about the product before launch but are told explicitly not to say anything to the customer about it..Bottomline if u want the GNex on Verizon just wait patiently.
Of course a VZW Rep is going to push the Droid line. It's their flagship series. Sure, the Rezound is a powerhouse compared to the RAZR, but they know the Droid brand sells like hotcakes, hence the major push. Also, as people have mentioned before, they'd rather try to sell you a phone that's available than a phone that isn't. No need to go harassing reps because of that.

Last week, I went to a local Verizon store during my lunch break to ask about the status of the GNex. The reps pleaded ignorance and, upon noticing my Sensation 4G, tried to steer me towards a Rezound.
Big red's corporate offices are plastered with Droid RAZR marketing. It's even in the bathrooms! Meanwhile, not one mention of the GN anywhere. The GN must be a small-fry deal for them. There's no marketing campaign. Meanwhile the RAZR continues to get pumped up for holiday sales.
But, I don't think they delayed the GN for the RAZR though. I don't think the GN was ever a threat. If I had to guess, they were getting the baseband right, dealing with battery life issues and a network outage. Quick aside, you don't launch a device during an outage unless you really want to make a horrible first impression and blow up your call centers. No matter what, clearly something didn't go as planned. Retailers are currently sitting on inventory they are embargoed from selling which is something they really don't like to do.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus

I am coming from the Epic 4G Touch device and was just curious if XDA will fuse the Sprint version into this section or give the device it's own section? With them being pretty much the same specs wise I assume Sprint users will join in here.

Just like CDMA and GSM right now, I'm sure it'll be the exact same General, Q&A and Accessory forums, and (potentially) a separate Development section.
I got screwed by sprint!! Preordered the sprint galaxy nexus sunday night, I call them today to make sure everything is going to be delivered on time. Sad to say they tell me the galaxy nexus is on back order and probably wont be able to recieve it till late next week!! Told them to cancel my order and Ill go to best buy to reserve mine on sunday. This was confirmed by 4 different people in the tracking orders department of sprint. What a bunch of idiots. Last time I ever pre-order anything from sprints website.

It's not like its there fault. They didn't expect such a large amount of pre-orders. If anything, you should be happy about this. This means more development and attention to the device.

It might depend on demand in certain areas and warehouse supply. Maybe they are not all coming from one location? And to clarify they called to confirm my address as I changed it in the system recently.
If you pre-ordered you will get yours. They were keeping a count and once they ran out they stopped taking pre-orders. As far as I know they didn't start taking pre-orders til Monday morning. Tracking numbers aren't sent out til the 19th and the pre-order clearly stated this. No reason to call up sprint. The only people who may need to be worried are those who ordered late, I ordered as soon as it was up.

Question about AT&T release of Note 2

I am just curious how AT&T has handled new releases of phones in the past (big announcements like the S3, iPhone, etc.)
Did they announce well in advance, the day before, or what??
Do they have ample supplies of the new phone in their stores on release day (obviously the iPhone is an exception, but what about a phone like this).
I am on Sprint now and want to get on AT&T BADLY, so I am hoping that I am not going to have to wait long amounts of time.
EDIT
AT&T will be Nov 9th, $300 on contract. Source:
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?p...ticleid=35523&mapcode=consumer|mobile-devices
Nobody really knows. Rumor was Oct 24, but given the proximity of today to the 24th with no word at all, I'm betting sometime in November, sadly...they are quite mum on details...

Eric, thanks but this doesn't really answer my question.
I am curious how they have handled big new releases IN THE PAST, to understand what to expect here.
Given the mess that AT&T made with the SGS3 launch, no one has any idea. In that particular case, they never OFFICIALLY announced a launch date, and then kept unofficially pushing back the date that they never actually announced.
People who made pre-orders for the phone 3 weeks before the unofficial launch date got their phones a couple days after they were originally promised (and in at least one case I know of - it was a full 2 weeks after.)
Actual AT&T corporate stores were kept completely in the dark with no official announcements, and lots of unofficial rumors.
Perhaps, becaue of that disaster, they will keep completely silent on the issue until they are ready to actually hand the phones to customers.
I'd bet that you'll be able to get one before Thanksgiving (2013.)

Thanks Gary. I was unaware of all the mess with the S3 (mainly I guess because I am not an AT&T customer YET).
Sigh... I guess I need to stop obsessing and stop checking for an announcement every day from AT&T. Although I doubt that will happen. :/
I will look to next Wednesday to see what Samsung and/or AT&T possibly announce.

I've been doing the same thing man lol. The Sprint announcement gave me some hope but at this point we're so close to the 24th that we'll find out in just 6 days anyway.
I've been waiting so long that I feel like my honeymoon period with the phone is already over. But I am sure that feeling will change once I have the device in my hand and I move away from this super annoying and tiny iphone 4s screen.
I spoke with our Samsung rep today sprint and T-Mobile will get it the 24th and Verizon and art will get it around the second week of november

That's not right, Sprint has already 100% officially announced it for the 25th. This thread here seems to indicate that it might not even be available to pick up at Sprint on 10/25, only able to order: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/101166?start=15&tstart=0
T-mobile has not announced an official release date, but it certainly won't be on the 24th because Samsung's event is at 7pm on the 24th to officially launch the phone in the US.

Given the mess that AT&T made with the SGS3 launch, no one has any idea. In that particular case, they never OFFICIALLY announced a launch date, and then kept unofficially pushing back the date that they never actually announced.
People who made pre-orders for the phone 3 weeks before the unofficial launch date got their phones a couple days after they were originally promised (and in at least one case I know of - it was a full 2 weeks after.)
Actual AT&T corporate stores were kept completely in the dark with no official announcements, and lots of unofficial rumors.
Perhaps, becaue of that disaster, they will keep completely silent on the issue until they are ready to actually hand the phones to customers.
I'd bet that you'll be able to get one before Thanksgiving (2013.)

I pre ordered the SGS III on ATT and received it on the date I was promised, June 21. It was not as smooth as they wanted granted, but the expectations of people were way out of control in my opinion. There may have been some issues outside of their control, but they did not communicate with their customers like they should have. I doubt the Note 2 will have that type of demand. I expect an announcement fairly soon with pre ordering and or shipping to begin soon thereafter.

You got the phone on June 21st, but do you remember how soon before that they announced the pre-order?
Just wondering was it AT&Ts fault for the delays or outside of their control? I'm an AT&T customer and always have preordered my iPhones at 2am(central time) when preorders start and I have always received my phone when they said it would arrive.... Going on 5 different launch day orders with no issues.
when pre-ordering through the att website...are there any issues with keeping a grandfathered unlimited data plan (to be bumped up to lte unlimited)?
in the past, i'd just walk into an att store on launch day...just to make sure i wouldn't lose unlimited due to some automatic computer script...
Would like to know about pre ordering also online, though through Verizon. Have unlimited data and will be paying full price. This do able ordering online, without losing unlimited?

My store and many others are planning on full inventory live launch. Not sure who started that thread but most stores (corporate at least) should have them in stock

when you say MY STORE, are you an AT&T store, and does that mean you will be selling them on 25th?

Yeah, very unclear.
I called my corporate AT&T store last week, they had no clue on the Note 2 release details. None that they were sharing anyway.
Just called my corporate store again. No date known according to them.

Has anyone been able to get the Note 7 replacement from Verizon yet?

Already multiple threads on it. There is no stock of note 7 anywhere yet.
So NOW this thread becomes relevant.... Lol
Anyone yet?

I've seen some getting their replacements from Best Buy and a few AT&T stores seem to have received them this afternoon, but it seems they are in Maine and Virginia from what I've seen. Wish Verizon would jump on board! They should be pushing an update for the Verizon Note7 tomorrow or Wednesday too, hopefully its got some goodies inside it.

Had my wife check the Verizon store where I originally purchased my N7 at on her way home from work. They told her they weren't expecting them in for another week... WTF?!?!

Yeah they told me a few days ago that they weren't expecting them for a few more weeks. I don't think the reps know wtf they are talking about sometimes. Gonna try again in the morning and see what happens
I just bought one

You're welcome!
I also contacted my local store yesterday(and will attempt to do so once again today) and was advised they did not expect any shipments. The person also advised that he wasn't aware when they were actually arriving.. I will, however keep trying.. Every day...
from note 7
My manager friend whos at our reseller store said hes got as much conflicting stories as we do. He did say verizon did say its a one for all when they come in. So basically us exchanger have to be in comp with people who want to buy new ones. Which we discussed how bull**** that is. What he has done is made a list (of those whos called) and when they come in hes going to contact the exchangers and give them first crack.
Wow so ****ed

I have read that the note 7 won't go on sale for new customers until October. Only exchanges till then.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-7-us-relaunch-717156/
I'm currently at our vacation home roughly an hour away from the nearest corporate store; been here all summer and had my original Note 7 delivered here when I ordered it online.
When I read here this morning that the VZW website was showing the Note 7 available for purchase, I called in to arrange for my replacement to be shipped to me. The Customer Care rep initially claimed that the phone could only be exchanged in a corporate store, but when I explained to her that I had spoken with 2 CC reps previously that had stated unequivocally that a replacement could be shipped, she did some checking and discovered that this was indeed an option.
As I write this, though, she's having an issue using my alternate shipping address (even though it's the same one the original phone was shipped to!), and is working with her manager to resolve that and will be calling me back with a confirmation number.
The replacement is shipping 2nd-day and I'm hoping to have it in-hand on Thursday.
I read that too yesterday but haven't heard anything to verify it. We just have to... As usual wait. ?

Yeah, wtf Verizon. I guess they do whatever they want.
This is why Samsung should have handled it. If you're counting on Verizon to do the right thing, then you're doing it wrong.

Just called no ETA on when they are getting any in.. My friend is a store manager for a authorized resellers that run by the cellular connection (all through the usa) and they have nothing.. Hes can't understand why they are not communicating to everyone except stores even his corporate stores friends dont know anything.
So I called Verizon again this morning, and she told me to call back tomorrow as they should be getting some in on the 21st. So hopefully tomorrow I can exchange it and stop worrying about owning a ticking time bomb lol
So how do you actually get through all the automated B.S. to talk to a person at the local Verizon

Hmmm I was able to order mine today, I also asked what I should do with the "bad one" they said to keep it as Samsung doesn't want them back...In my heart I feel this isn't true and I don't want to be charged for not returning the old one. Who else was told to keep the old one?
