Just got Official info on Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Date, Marketing, and accessories)!!

Went into a Verizon corporate store in NYC for an unrelated issue today (troubles with my Bionic) and while I was there I had a talk with one of the managers. I was able to convince him to sell me the official Verizon Galaxy Nexus Shell/Holster combo case early. He also showed me two other cases (one silicone and one high gloss) and said that there will also be screen protectors, batteries, and a dock although they don't have them in stock yet.
But more importantly I asked him for info about the release date after I purchased the case. He told me that literally a few minutes before I came in he received and was reading a notice from Verizon HQ that the official date has been set as of this morning and confirmed for December 8th. He stated that it will be available for purchase online and in all stores as of that date. He also went on to say that Verizon has planned a marketing campaign for the Galaxy Nexus starting this Friday (expect to see plenty of ads soon). I was also able to get confirmation from him that the phone will come with the My Verizon Mobile app and one other Verizon essential app preinstalled. Unfortunately, this is all he was allowed to disclose to me without "getting himself in trouble" but I would say that's pretty nice of him to confirm this. I hope you guys find this info useful. Here is a pic of the case below:

Well granted a lot of this is not new information but at least people can now relax that we have confirmation. That's kind of what most of the craziness has been about lately with all this mixed information floating around.

Nope he sold it the same price it's going to retail for when it comes out. $29.99 before tax.

I'll be in Europe by December 5th, looks like I'll be getting the GSM Galaxy Nexus.

This forum has become overly aggressive. Everybody calm the hell down. Plenty of people are appreciative that this date can now be taken as confirmed.
His accessory comment wasn't bragging, it was just a comment in passing. He was telling a story.

First, stop being a douchebag to everybody. Nobody laughs at it and it makes you look like an uneducated brute.
Secondly, thank you OP for filling in the forum. Whether it's true or not will still have to be seen, as many other Verizon employees still say they have no clue, but it's still nice of you to tell everyone what you know...especially with the hostility on this forum, as of late.
Guess this works out for me...my credit card cycle recycles on the 7th and I had to buy $1000 of tires and $1000 of Christmas gifts this month. Guess this is God's way of telling me to save some money!

I hope this is really the date, I heard this also, as many of you. If course it would be nice to have it sooner but, if not; it's nice to have an actual date.

You are such a prick. An hour ago you make fun of somebody for giving information that he learned from the Verizon store, then on another site you tell everybody you heard some information while you were at a Verizon store 2 hours ago? In addition, you gave the same information that you, most assuredly, learned from this very topic.
I hope your mom still spanks you.

My car's brand new but I need winter performance tires (they come with summer-only performance) which came out to around $250 a piece. 235x40 are kind of expensive.
Gonna need to buy summer wheels in the spring too =P another $1500 down the drain, but worth it so I don't have to change over the tires every other season and re-balance. Much easier just to change the wheels myself.

Ya, these weren't even amazing. They're Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3. I was going to go with the new Dunlop Winter Sport 3Ds, but I got a $70 rebate on these Michelins lol so couldn't pass them up. Only one more purchase and I'll be set on wheels/tires for the next few years. The car's only 6 months old, so still have a few "new-car" purchases that must be made.
Strange thing, though, with the way 4G LTE works. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE that sits on my desk at work. I get 2-3 bars of 4G service with it (connection speeds varies between 16/2Mbps up to around 30/12Mbps) sitting there on my desk. Another guy on my team bought the Rezound today and, standing right in front of my desk, it had no 4G and only 2 bars of 3G. I'm hoping that the Nexus has a better signal reach than the Rezound.
Then again, he admitted he already installed Juice Defender and there's a possibility it turned off 4G. He didn't look closely, but he didn't remember setting anything specifically for it. Maybe he had it off! Who knows. Just hoping I retain a 4G signal there at my desk. The company wifi is a bit tricky in certain places in the building, so being able to fall back on faster 4G is pretty nice (I don't even have my Galaxy Tab hooked up to the wifi anymore).

People are going to be afraid of posting much less opening a thread with some of the outright rude and childish comments. It's the Internet people but you can still respect one another.

Thanks for posting this confirmation! There has been a lot of speculation that the release date is the 8th but its nice to hear others that hear it also!

[Q] Galaxy Nexus (ENGINEERING) Model?

Hey Everyone... Originally when I got my GNEX, I could have sworn that when I tried to unlock/root it, it had been easier than a lot of the instructions, but I didn't think too much about it at the time. (I got it directly from a VZW wireless store) I think at this point, it was already unlocked. Now that I've changed phones, I wanted to prep this one for selling, and I was trying to follow instructions on how to reset/relock the phone, but it doesn't seem to let me lock it with the fastboot oem lock commands... but if this is an engineering build, should I even bother? Or can I sell it as is and just state factory unlocked?
Here is an image of my "About Phone" after flashing back the google images that I downloaded from here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I tried -looking- for a factory unlocked CDMA version to judge it against, and can't even seem to find any, am I just missing something? Are people selling them somewhere else?

You won't find a "Factory Unlocked" model, AFAIK they don't make them. What you have is somewhat unique, although not that useful since it's a Nexus device. If you want more info on what exactly you have this thread has a decent overview if you read the first 2 pages: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461386 Bottom line, your fine to sell it as is.

To the right person you will get more just because it is an engineering model! If I were you I would bank on that!!

I thought about that too when I first read the post. But, since this is a Nexus device to begin with, does that really get you anything?

I doubt it gets you anything but I want one lol. I'd pay maybe $20 more than a normal one but beyond that I'd get a stock. Someone may want it just to have it like me though.

Will do. Kinda bummed about the selling prices in general, haven't been able to decide what to list it for. Gonna throw it up with no reserve and see what happens.

Put rare and what not in it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

If its rare people will pay, just due to the fact that no one else can get it.
I personally am the type of person you want to sell this to. I buy tons of stuff for hundreds more just because I collect tech.
***Speaking of which, if anyone knows someone that owns an original 20gb PS3 I am looking to spend $400 or more depending on condition. Been looking for 3 years. Also looking for a copy of Super Metroid for SNES, I`ll pay $60 with out box, $100 in box***
Anyways yeah, if I didn`t already own a Galaxy Nexus and was not in the process of looking for a Galaxy S2 White (perferably from France to use here in Canada) I`d pay around $800 easy.

No I don't sorry.
Only reason I threw out the $800 number is because, really its not that much more you'd pay buying a "normal" phone really.
I still remember paying something like $700 after tax for the Xperia x10 (ouch bad device) and another $700 for the Xperia Arc (Better device but still too much IMO)
$800 is not that big of a jump, and you are getting something truly unique.
***On a side note: I bought the Xperia x10 and my wife's first iphone, the white 3GS the same day...I think the total was like $1400. Imagine my surprise learning my brand new "latest tech" android didn't support multitouch....mmm still feel that burn! Oh well I guess 2 finger touch ended up being supported later, but by then I was on the Samsung Captivate. Loved the Captivate!***

Used daily for about 3 weeks daily, with a screen protector installed @ verizon when I bought it. Somehow it still managed to get a tiny line in it near the front camera in the upper right... you have to have the light hit it just right to see it, I tried getting it in the pictures here but could not. I took the screen protector off now to show how clean the real screen is, there's some dust on it though.
The pictures came out a bit too big that I'd want to post here, you can see them here:

Verizon Announces New Data Sharing Plans

h t t p ://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/06/pr2012-06-11e.html[/url]

Direct link to PDF can be found here: http://solutions.vzwshop.com/shareeverything/pdf/verizon_share_everything_plan_details.pdf

Thanks Frank!

The PDF explains everything a lot more clearer than the official PR does. At first I thought "$80 for 6GB shared for everything is awesome" then I saw the added cost per device.

So when does this take place? Sorry if I missed it on that PDF... My upgrade is 6/30

Same here. I'm done with Verizon's bull****. I'm going to Sprint (maybe AT&T if they don't raise their prices due to the failed T-Mobile merger). Once my contract is done, bye bye Verizon, hello Sprint. Hopefully Sprint doesn't screw up their prices as well in the future.

This is very dissapointing to me....sad really. Unfortunately in my area vzw is the only carrier that is reliable. Sprint is total garbage here and att isn't much better. My discount will help a LOL with this. However I'm still on my agent line for some reason ( left the company over 6 months ago lol) so at this moment it doesn't effect me much. But now I might as well get my gf a smartphone for the $10 difference. I think everyona wanted share plans on vzw....but I was hoping for something like sprint does. $150 a month for two smps. These New plans are obviously more than that. But alas....in this area...u get what you pay for.

I actually updated few months ago for inc 2. Dropped in water and didnr have the 100$ for new inc2 through insurance. Wirefly had a special where I upgraded through them I could upgrade again to a razr maxx for 29.99$ only phone I could get. My inc2 still works. Just volume rocker is messed up and don't wanna charge without messing with port. I got to keep my unlimited data they said lucky I could upgrade again before they change to shared plans.

Yes.that's correct. That's my problem lol. People have downgraded and rooted but ran into a lot of problems. I guess since mine isvrooted and 98% functioning ill just use it also, it.didnt get battery wet the water mark on battery is fine but the one on phone is half red and half spotted, od barley got wet. Went in bout half inch of water. Just enough through, the razr was only phone that has a promotion on it where it made it 29.99$ really has no choice. My inc2 wouldn't even boot up. It would go to hboot screen and.than keep going down through.the.list real fast where the.voulme rocker is fried. I finally got it by holding vol up and.power and.it.booted in safe mode.

Why does everyone have Verizon? I love it's service and data speeds. It's worth the price in my book. I just wish they upgraded there phones software more often.

The GSIII looks good but I'm stuck on HTC and god only knows when the inc4g will be out. Ugh kinda looks like I'm going with sprint or at&t cause I really want either the EVO 4G LTE or the one x.

LG to unveil Nexus phone at the end of the month

I just read this on CNET News:
CNET has confirmed that the phone will be a modified version of the Optimus G. Other handset manufacturers could also release their own Nexus phones as well. The phone will be announced at the end of the month, according to a person briefed on the matter. While it will run some of the same specifications as the Optimus G, it will be modified to fit into the Nexus program. Google and LG haven't yet come up with a name for the product.
Like the Optimus G, the phone is expected to come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon quad-core processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM, a 1,280x768 True-High Definition IPS display, an 8-megapixel camera, and a nonremovable battery. It will also have no microSD slot and only 8GB to 16GB of internal storage, according to Modaco.

So, it looks like the 5 manufacturers for next Nexus project are Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony and Asus (tablet)?

I don't see how is a rumor, when is "confirmed". CNET will not post things like that just for fun.

Unless I win the lottery, not getting it so, good luck guys.
More disappointed about the overall Nexus program's movement towards anyone can make one.

"Confirmed" by an unnamed source. Self-checked confirmation isn't actually a confirmation.

I like the idea. If each manufacturer had a Nexus phone we could choose from whichever brand or tech we prefer, rather than stuck with whatever luck of the draw.

Wow Google, why would you let LG make this, sorry not buying the next nexus, this ones my fav right now
Unless they come out with a Samsung or Motorola nexus, I will be keeping my GN
HTC LG and Sony are utter sh**
Just my 2 cents

Development will be split miserably IMO, which is the main reason I don't like it.
Not to mention, I enjoyed one Nexus phone being the top dog in terms of reference for all Android devices

If it's a non-expandable 16GiB, count me out.
Non-replaceable battery just makes it worse.

Google is done putting SDcards in phones. Get used to it.
As for battery, I guess I understand some people want that ability, but I've never removed the battery in my phone to replace it or anything like that... If they can keep the phone thin with a large battery, and keeping it sealed helps them do that (it does), then I'm completely OK with it.

Why hate on lg? I really don't get it. They seem to have high end device with currently probably the best hw out or coming out.
I don't have any bias hardware wise to a OEM myself. If anything Samsung has annoyed me with their source code crap. Htc as well. Moto and their damn locked bootloaders. And moto not updating a one year old device with a dual core to ICS. I kinda hope none of those OEMS get a nexus device on principal.

If the stock battery was great, by all means, seal it in, I don't care.
I'm glad the GNex wasn't sealed though.
-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-

I would really like the option of a removable battery. I don't care how big a non removable one is. Things happen and I would like a spare so if it dies or you're away from a charger you can swap it out.
Or until batteries can magically recharge in 5 mins

What happens when you get a sod and you need a battery pull?....anyways it'll be nice to have multiple nexus devices....the only thing I'm not a fan of on my gnex is the sampled screen.....its nice and vibrant but can be cartoony IMHO....I feel IPS is a good balance of screen types.....but other than that I'll wait to see what else come out......I had a gx2 and I thought it was a well made piece of hardware but with closed source code on drivers and such ICS never really ran properly....but cm7 was slick!!!

Devices with no removable battery will have a button combo (or a very long press on the power button) that does a hard reboot of the device. You don't need a removable battery. Google wouldn't make a Nexus that couldn't be reset in a bootloop or freeze.

Great phone, sh*t battery+storage, nice try though. Well before i get flamed, I like to swap out batteries rather than abuse my usb port

Its a USB port... its not made out of diamonds.

There is one piece of information left out that applies to us all;
the next round of OTA updates begin to run 4.2.x soon after it goes on sale and who knows even the nexus s might get it too

What current phone is an "upgrade" coming from a Gnex?

The wife needs a new phone and since we have an upgrade available I was thinking of giving her my Gnex and getting myself a new phone.
Naturally I first though GS4 but Im starting to wonder. Is that an upgrade, downgrade or lateral move? I realize its newer hardware, but the Gnex seems to have a good development base behind it....not sure about the GS4 (havent really checked).
Or should I just try to find a decent used Gnex for the wife too? I love mine, the fact its so stable on just about any ROM is what makes me feel comfortable enough to give it to her. I know she wont ever have any issues with it (her current Stratosphere is a total POS!)
Thanks.
-Chris

S4 is a gigantic upgrade. Do not even think for a second a GNex is going to match it in performance.
S4 development is just fine. Just take a look at the section... There are (what appear to be) very stable builds of both CM & PA (among others).

Thanks! Thats what i was thinking.
Our current contract is completely done in January. The wife says she can deal with her phone until then if she has to, but all thats going to do is make it harder to figure out what new phone since there will (presumably) be a lot more options.
Someone suggested going to Tmobile but Im not exactly thrilled with their network around here. I hate my VZW bill being so high, but I feel like "there is no other" since the service is usually excellent and even when its not excellent its at least still working.

A new nexus will probably come out within the next 5 months, the S4 is a HUGE up.date from the GNEX.
I'd suggest the S4 if you need a new phone now or something but also the Motorola X might be out by the end of the year.
The GNEX is "OK", especially being released 1.5 years ago. Most newer phones are upgrades anyways. Decisions decisions huh...

I'm trying to hold out for the Note 3, myself. But the S4 is mighty tempting...

I am really eyeballing the HTC One ever since I found out you can flash it and convert it into an official Google Edition phone.
Edit, I just saw several ads about the Motorola X phone. Might get that instead.

Never been a fan of Motorola.
The HTC one seems nice..... Friend of mine just dumped vzw and got the One on t-mo. I hate the internal only battery and am partial to anything Samsung just because of the open ness of their phones.
Tough decision. Worried waiting will make it even tougher
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I keep asking myself this very same question. What phone should I get next?
I'm utterly unimpressed with the nexus 4.. The white version was tempting, but its gone now from the play store.
Guess I'll stick with the gnex till it self destructs.

Out of all the phones I have had, I must day I was most satisfied with Sony, and as of late they have been the most developer friendly phone there is...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I am on the same boat-keep asking myself what should be my next phone....I think I will be waiting for Nexus 5 at this point and see what it has to offer. If it is in the same price range as the nexus 4 I am definitely going for it

Get the S2 I'm still rocking it.... Lol

For Verizon, the S4 is your best option, but if you go to T-Mobile the nexus 4 is a great option and by then the next nexus should have come out

Galaxy S4 is a very good phone, so is the htc one. If you're looking to spend a little less, then the note 2 is also an excellent device

was thinking of going note 2 when i move on from my gNex...
a part of me wants to hold off for the nexus 5 but its become so hard

I got a good deal for a S4 so that's where I went.
Overall, the S4 is a MAJOR upgrade compared to the galaxy nexus. The speed, Camera, LTE, battery life and the screen are all benefits of the S4.
Now that I have a card slot on my phone again I forgot how much I missed out on this feature with the Galaxy Nexus.
Regarding development, considering the S4 is not a nexus device, development is actually really good and will only get better as more people buy the S4. Sure, a nexus will have more development but the S4 has more than enough to satisfy you.
Consistently hitting 5 hours of screen on time and not worrying about chargers through out the day is awesome as well.

hehe, theres always one!
I had another suggestion to go to T-mo, so for the heck of it I broke down what I would be paying.
Id need 2 lines, so a family package. Unlimited everything on both lines is 120/month. Plus the 20/month for each phone Id need to buy, looking at 160 per month before fees. Thats actually more than I pay on VZW, granted only one of my VZW lines has unlimited data (not sure if that will go away when/if I upgrade the phone).
I realize the 20/month for each phone goes away after 2 years on Tmo, but essentially its a 2 year contract. Im also not positive of the speeds I can get from them in my area....Open Signal shows it as a decent network but the average download is 4MB compared to almost 7 for VZW, so Im guessing its not 4G/LTE (yet)
EDIT: reading about the current state of unlimited data on Verizon, the line I have unlimited on is "month to month", can I swap a phone (not one I paid retail for) onto that line without losing unlimited?

There speed are decent near me. The only way id get an iPhone is if Google music was available on iOS.

That moto x phone should be nice too.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The S4 would be fine as long as you don't grab the i9500 "octa core" variant. Though, I hate touchwiz a lot.
I actually listen to music in phone speakers quite a bit, I would go for the HTC One instead of the S4. Moto X looks good if you are in the US. Hope they bring the new moto X outside of the US too.

The S4 Active looks awesome, but until it comes to Verizon I'll probably get the S4 or the next unlocked phone that's available on VZW.
