Verizon customers take over poll to demand Galaxy Nexus release date

Who's to say it has bugs? Verizon's just sitting on it because they have other new phones (full of profitable bloatware) to sell first.

Exactly. It is unfortunate for us, but c'mon, it's understandable. That, and it having the sammich. Just have to wait a bit more. ;)

I think you are right.its a dumb strategy since phones (specially androids) get outdated by the min that by the time they actually release them, the new one is already announced -_-

And that's fine if they want to implement that business strategy, but they could still give us a damn release date. I mean, we're halfway through the month. So it's either coming out within the next two weeks OR it's going to be delayed. Bah. I only care so much because my Droid 1 is on some serious life support. My phone is basically like Chev Chelios right now. It needs to run at a good clock speed and get charged up often. Very often. I could probably buy a new battery, but the GN is supposed to be out this month.

I work at Verizon in Maryland and Samsung, Apple and HTC are all doing very well from what I can see.

East side of middle school where kiddies need simple toys to ease into the world of technology. Or east side of old folks home, I heard they are getting big time into "smart"phones nowadays.

Verizon... since the phone is now available elsewhere.

Yeh all the international carriers are GSM so thats why they get it first plus most people are buying the phone at retail so Samsung makes more money.

I was wondering the same thing. But at least it's a step in the right direction.

Very true but you would that think Verizon would have learned there lesson about adding and removing things that consumers dont want or need.

31. roldefol posted on 17 Nov 2011, 12:37 3 3

The average consumer doesn't complain. They're all used to bloatware from the crap Verizon's been loading onto dumbphones for years. They'll just remove bloatstuff from the desktop if they don't like it. This is just like the locked bootloader issue... not enough consumers care for VZW to change their policies.

14-day policy is out of effect for the holidays. Starting Nov 15th you have until Jan 9th to return your phone for a $35 restocking fee. Pretty baller.

Well they should care but maybe Verizon will follow Sprint and At@t's lead and give us the option to remove unwanted bloatware.

That's actually exactly what it is... I remember hearing that when I worked for corporate.

Actually if you return the phone the phones are not always sold as refurbs. Depending on why its returned it may go back to the manufacturer and Verizon gets a full credit for the device so there not losing any money.

Hopefully people can wait a little longer then we can all make informed decisions, avoid any return fees and get the phone we all want.

go to your local verizon retailer and they should tell you the same thing my brother.

38. Bethistopheles posted on 17 Nov 2011, 15:05 0 0

Are you in the US or Canada? I saw some article about them being ready for presale on the 21 in our neighbour to the north, but nothing about USA release.... :(

40. Lionheartcahc posted on 17 Nov 2011, 15:30 1 0

USA. i stopped as a joke to be honest and the guy knew about the phone and spun the screen around to show me the details.it had a delivery date/system date and sell date and quantity. i didn't have my phone on me or i would have taken a picture of it. i as much as anyone want this phone and i am hoping everything was true

171 out of 500 ppl makes 32% of complaints, and that's only the people who though it was a good idea...

Off you go

Don't offer any reasons why though. Wouldn't want to be helpful or anything.
