I'm in the same boat as you; 3 on the family plan at various dates with one more to be added next year. But it doesn't preclude us from being pissed at Verizon... it's just we can't do anything about it.

It's the principle of the whole thing. I know I'm going to get fucked by big red. I've accepted that. I would just appreciate a little lube along the way.

I love 4G speed on the Clearwire access point I use for my desktop, and I can see wanting the extra speed on a tablet...but I gotta be honest, 3G serves me well for 99% of what I do on my Droid X. Highly dependent on what you do with your phone, of course. I don't blame Apple for sitting out on 4G until the power utilization is cut back further.

Oh my, oh my. The Phone House.nl changed their christmas deals and they no longer sell the nexus for free, now it's 289euros! haha The free deal has only lasted one day, good thing that I was quick!
I'm paying less for the phone with a 1 year contract than what the phone costs for free. Add to that that the phone is sim-free and without branding and bloatware... WOW, I am so fucking lucky sometimes.

MY PHONE'S GONE DEAD I'M WONDERING WHY I
PLUG IT IN THE WALL AT ALL
THE MORNING COMMUTE DROPS IT BY 1/3
AND I DON'T USE IT AT ALL
AND EVEN IF I DID, IT WOULD BE TO POST
ON MY FACEBOOK WALL
IT REMINDS ME THAT IT'S NOT SO BAD
NOT SO BAAAAD
Based on the speed tests for LTE handsets I've seen I'm not surprised. I get around 8 down and 2 up. I pay almost nothing for it though, so I can't complain too much.

Once the phone is available on Verizon all this anger and lamenting will be forgotten.
Having the phone for over a week has null all my anger and frustration with the way Google handle this Nexus release. ICS is that good, believe me. And DAT screen is no slouch.
Now I have to concentrate my anger on other things.
until the LTE phone doesnt get an update that the GSM one does. Then shit will hit the fan all over again

I dont understand. Did Verizon pay for this US exclusive? How can they not care this fucking much? Its one thing to pimp the other phones they have a higher margin for, but to just sit on the android phone of the year and keep it quiet? Why bother with it at all then?
They're dangling alot of tmo/att customers that would have bought this phone ages ago.
That's a win for them.
Shouldn't be a huge deal based on early showings from the dev community, the impression that I get is that it will be fairly trivial to port most changes in the GSM codebase to the LTE one. Anyone who can't wait for the official update will likely be able to quickly get their fix with a custom ROM.
Stop rubbing your up to date OS in everybody's face, jeez.
1, nice tag, 2, curious question, it happens on every reboot but its very quick. When i got the OTA it actually went through the apps (showed "1 of x applications", "2 of x applications")

That's cool, Android has always been really poor with showing visual feedback for what's going on. I'm guessing the upgrade thing is the standard system update checking that gets done in the bg.
I like how he got side tracked mid review:

Does ICS have the cool tv shutoff effect still?
Yes.
Can't take anyone who refers to themsef as "MG" seriously.

I'm going to be picking this up tomorrow morning...
Was that $100 off 4G phone for those upgrading from a 3G phone is a midwest thing only? I want to able to get this discount rather than the $50 off discount that I see online off 4g phones. Also, will I need a particular code for this?

thats because for all of the benchmarks, they used the ipad2 instead of the iphone4s "because its processor was closer to the galaxy nexus". The article right there isn't worth what the bits it consumes after that point
complete joke
So it looks like you guys are getting it on the 15th? http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/14/2636566/galaxy-nexus-verizon-release-date
About time, I'm glad we never had any of this shambles over here.

Haha, someone updated it. So if it releases tomorrow, when will we hear about it reaching other carriers? Verizon supposedly has a one month exclusive or something right?
Lol, "IT'S TOO BIG!!!" What a wimp.

To quote Mitt Romney, "Keep America American".
It is too big. But that goes away after you stop holding phones like the Nexus One and iPhone 4.
Holding this phone now seems normal.
This phone is made for real men
Hehe it is a pretty big phone. I can see why he wouldn't be used to it coming from an iphone. Personally I find the iphone too be far too small. Even my Nexus one is a bit bigger screen-wise.
