Verizon Galaxy Nexus is Releasing Next Week As Per Store REP

Hello folks,
I had gone to Verizon store to get a new sim card for my Razr. As the rep was trying to swap my sim, i asked the rep if the nexus is available. She said not this week, but i should be able to get this next week. I asked her how much it will cost me on contract, she said 299.99$.
I asked if she had a demo that i can play with, she said yes and gave me one from the back counter.
So folks here it is, next week we are getting the galaxy nexus..yaaay..

im at a loss trying to figure out how you have been thanked 21 times.

I like turtles

I can confirm this. Went into radio shack and they had a galaxy Nexus that they let me play with. They said I could not turn it on but I verified it had Verizon branding and everything! They said it was supposed to be released today but was delayed because of Verizon's 4g outage! !!!

Lmao. Thanks for the heads up. This adds another confirmation about next week. There is a thread that pretty much states that they are releasing it on pretty much everyday starting tomorrow. On average there is a over whelming number of people hearing the 15th.

lol they can definitely turn it on. I played with one for about 10 minutes in the Verizon store today, on 4G.

Wow. Gullible as hell. It will be sold when it will be sold. They don't know **** at these stores. I'm still laughing about the 4g outage comment. Thank you for the laugh.

didn't you guys hear?.. I spoke to a hermit crab earlier that told me Verizon's discontinueing the Nexus to focus solely on Motorola phones.

Had called Verizon to reserve one on Monday, when we all thought they were releasing them today... Store rep. called me today, said it will available on the 15th to pick up.

yeah the 15th is the new confirmed possible release date/rumor.

So, what's the price point with and without a contract?

Rezound is $649.99 at Verizon retail stores. Same with the RAZR.

$799 is what Best Buy charges for full retail, Verizon stores will be charging $649.99 like the RAZR & Rezound.

Roger's Galaxy Nexus - Any bloatware & is it yakju

Finally GNex for Rogers.
Anybody get it yet?
I'm just curious because I don't trust my own carrier at all, they have a tendency to screw things up royally all the time. (last time I bought a phone from them was the HTC Dream) and that was a huge mess with the entire cannot dial 911 with data enabled forcing an entire legal issue and a mandatory patch or suspension of service. Since then I've happily owned a Nexus One (shipped from Google) for the past two wonderful years.
Can anybody confirm that Rogers has not stuck their dirty fingers inside our dear Galaxy Nexus? (no bloatware, no Rogers Logo on boot, etc etc)
also this isn't a deal breaker but I'm just wondering if it's yakju or not.
as long as it is not Rogers Branded at all I'll go pick mine up today =)
THANKS for any info guys

It won't be branded as Rogers. Pure stock. Yakju? Not sure, you can just change it later if you desire.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I've done a lot of searching around the forums to know that yakju or not I can live with it, I know that it should be clean and not branded at all, but it's my life long experience with Rogers that has conditioned me never to assume the best with this company...
yet the reason I stay is because they do provide one of the best services in Toronto. Nothing would make me happier to pay $30 for voice and data with Wind or Mobilicity but truth be told, reliability is more important even if it costs 3 times more...

It doesn't matter if you have yakju or yakjuux.. I am glad you decided you can live with it being either

I would like to know this also. I am getting pretty antsy right now waiting for Rogers to call so I can go pick up my phone.
ahhhhh im so excited for it!

Yes the main reason for this post is because I don't trust Rogers at all.

I hear you, My roommate, Ex, and Myself are holding back from pulling the trigger over this stupid issue, I'm not the only person who doesn't trust this company hahaha

Like I said, you can flash it back to yakju. It's very simple to do.

This might not mean anything but my friend got his from Fido and he said that it has no bloatware from them so perhaps its a sign that Rogers decided to not put anything on there.

Got my Rogers Gnex on tues. Pure stock experience; no Rogers bloat.

Sorry to get off topic, but I've been on Rogers for years (like you, ordered a N1 from google) but my service of late was ****. Dropped called, dropping out of 3g, slow, slow internet and no service while my co-workers were chatting away on their phones. I thought my phone was defective by I looked on howard forums and there's tons of people having issues. Long story short I broke my contract and moved to virgin so I could get the GN right away. The service is SO MUCH BETTER! It was the best $200 I ever spent.
If you've got a good plan with rogers, fair enough, but I assure you, their service is not longer the best.

I've had mine 2 days with rogers..it's awesome.just get volume +, and I hope we get 4.02 soon,bell / virgin started yesterday

I just picked mine up within the last hour and so far everything is sweet.
Just a question i have though, for OTA updates does a popup show in the notification bar or am I suppose to go look manually to see if updates are available on a site or something?

I have same question...i think it notifies if you reboot, or go into"about phone"and click on system updates, and it verifies. Nothing yet, but I hope to get it soon

Where did you see that bell/virgin phones are getting 4.0.2? I haven't seen a single post of this yet.

What radio is the rogers nexus using?

hey , for people who recently bought the ROGERS Galaxy Nexus, can you post what MODEM/BASEBAND version it came with???
I'm curious if its any different from the Bell/Virgin/International ones
And if so, could someone pull the radio for us to flash?
I'm using an international Galaxy Nexus on Rogers and am curious if the Rogers GN radio will benefit
Thanks!

My new play Nexus running on Straight Talk

Man after being under Sprints thumb for 2 years I am free. I live in a rual area and had to have an airave just to get phone calls. I have full bars now and 5mb dl speed. I know thats slower than some are getting and I bet it's faster closer to town. All I can say is I love it. Anybody thinking about it should make the switch. Plus pure Google is pure awesome.

Good to hear. I am in the process of making the jump to T-mob Monthly 4G from Sprint. Their data service has become so slow (45 kb/s) in my area, that paying "Premium Data" charges is ridiculous. I really like the prepaid business model versus subsidizing the device.

Congrats! I left horrible Verizon for Straight Talk with GSM Nexus. I actually get better service on ST Att than I was getting with Verizon.

I also came from sprint which couldn't even steam pandora.

Best thing I have found with google now if you open it and say S*&T it takes you to the Sprint stocks page. Best laugh I have had in a long time.

Anyone interested in going to Prepaid should checkout the HUGE Prepaid thread here.

I did the same thing. I have had my Nexus for about 2 weeks now using it with Straight Talk sim and I love it. Came from the Rezound.
Called and complained to Verizon twice in 1st 6 months about my service and they let me out without ETF.
Had 3 lines ~$230.00 month for Rezound, iPhone and another dumb phone. Now paying $150.00 for 2 Smart Phones "Nexus and Galaxy Y for my son" and 1 dumb phone "iPhone" for my wife.

Uses Verizon towers for voice & 3G... after 800mb of data he will get a letter from Sprint saying goodbye.. sometimes it can take a few months to receive the letter.

Think i just found sound proof that t-mobile will be getting the galaxy note 2;)

OK so I was just browsing xda and in general forum I seen the ota live updates posted by Adam. Very awesome by the way. Anyway the note 2 is supposed to be the t-889 and running 4.1.1 now the sgh and the T is a dead give away for T-Mobile and even more so in these screen shots the "t-889" is already running 4.1.1 and getting a maintenance update (small) to 4.1.1 also it has the same baseband as our beloved sgs3 UVALH2 . observe in screenshots......idk I think I stumbled right into that. I could be dead wrong but thought this was cool

have you paid for your GS3 all out? or if you sold it./.. would you still be paying equipment charge on that and on the note? or will the equipment charge just transfer to the new buyer?

I paid $279 for it when it came out. I am not paying anything extra a month for it. I would sell it on ebay for $500 and pay the difference out of my pocket for it

Anyone have any leads as to when the price will hit $199? All the carriers are pretty much all holding at $299 for now. My contract is about up, and I want this phone!

No proof, don't believe.

Just checked and it's $99 for new lines and $169.99 for add a line and $249.99 for upgrade. I would go to a best buy and see if their willing to match. Some best buys are still honoring the online retailers price match. See below for the proof. Took a screenshot of both prices.

Was in Best Buy on saturday asking if they'd match Amazon, after waiting about 10 minutes they said they would. Problem was I wasn't ready, so I said thanks and left. I found out I can't port my VZW number associated with my unlimited data plan, so I'm stuck with VZW for now.
