I've searched back a few pages but couldn't find, what date is this suppose to be released here in the US on Verizon?
Hasn't been announced yet. I've seen on various blogs that it should be week of 21st.
The rumor I'm holding to right now is the 21st. The Google contest seems to corroborate this.
Android Forums has a thread about the release date for Verizon and Droid Life has a leaked product release schedule (sorry, can't post links)

well the 21st would make a lot of sense.
They released the razor on the 11th (probably moved it back to Friday instead of monday because they thought it was cute to do the 11/11/11 thing)
then today on the 14th the rezound comes out, so a full week for that to sell and then the Nexus releases in time for holiday shopping. Hope it's true, I'm pumped for this phone.
latest rumor/update speculates 12/1...
We don't know. Most assume early next week.

I am going to say false on the delay (opinion only). If there were big enough problems with the phone, then google would not have just released the source code. If it turns out to be true it is a marketing ploy to sell more razers and rezounds. I hope it is still releasing soon.

Just remember that on top of everything Samsung/Google are putting into the HSPA+ version, Verizon has to add their own network stack for CDMA/LTE and is notoriously long in the tooth on testing devices and software. I would not be surprised at all if there is a slight delay with the LTE version.

According to another rumor it's going to be released on the 18th.
http://phandroid.com/2011/11/14/mor...s-will-be-released-this-friday-november-18th/
The Verizon store manager I talked to seems to confirm the rumor that it's pushed back to December. Not surprising since Verizon does take a long time to test devices on their network before releasing them, and might just explain why they still won't give us a date - the testing isn't done, so even they don't know.
Does anyone have an update on this or is it sill unknown?

How, exactly, is that known? Nobody knows *what* is happening yet. Nobody knows when it was scheduled to launch, nor do they know when it will. Right now everything you hear is rumors...nothing is *known*.

I think everyone KNOWS Samsung/Google screwed up.
Not sure whats hard to comprehend about that. A huge opportunity was lost to make Galaxy Nexus a household name and steal a huge spotlight from iOS/iPhone4s. The fact there is no schedule and no dates is WHY they screwed up.
You do NOT run product launches like this. Especially after making a friggin event out of it.
They said it would be available in November... So far, that is accurate. While I too am a little annoyed, I think that's just due to my own impatience.

Well i have to disagree with you on that. I dont think voogle is trying to make a household name. Maybe samsung is but theyre only the manufacturer here. Google has messed up though by keeping us in the dark. They were more transparent and punctual before but the only official thing that came out was uk on the 17th and they have done that. But damn them for not giving us more details about unlocked hspa+ versions. And as much as i hate they gave verizon exclusivity in thedark usa, theyre even being mum with that.
I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
To fdm1: I recollect it was a little more honked up than that. Originally was said to be released about the same time as the new iphone, then a Google media announcement was set for early Oct got delayed for this reason and that and mid Oct was a surprise announcement in Hong Kong with little information release. The presentation was buggy, no info re: VZN, no estimates on pricing, no estimates on release dates, etc. And today a 16gb version is released in the UK but still no official word of a release date, pricing, or device specifics for the US.

I completely disagree with you.
Google has no interest in making the Nexus line a house-hold name. Every Nexus launch has seen minimal advertising and a lower-number of units sold than most other high-profile phones.
What Google does with the Nexus line is give people that want a vanilla Android experience the chance to have just that. They aren't trying to "steal a huge spotlight" from Apple...
And there's no set "way" to run product launches. It's their company, their product, and they can do whatever they want with it. You might not like it, but that doesn't mean they messed up...it just means they didn't do what you wanted them to do.

You're kidding, right? Of course there's a way to properly run product launches and Apple is the model for it. They started that whole format of how companies now launch their major tech products. In some large room, inviting major media and tech bloggers, on a stage, with "cool" slides and demo's of what their product is capable of. Followed by snappy and eye catching ad's/marketing campaign and even an "accidental/unauthorized release of said tech" if they really want to drum up publicity.
You don't do what Google/Samsung has done. Talk about this great and awesome phone with the cutting edge OS with a cool name for a month or so. Leak enough details over the summer to get your base interested, then change the name, say nothing about the price or release date, and then expect to make a big impact on the market.
Lastly, they haven't done what ANYBODY has wanted so far with this launch. So you can't single out one person and say it's what he didn't want. I'd bet just about anything that no one who was (or is still) interested in this phone wanted what we've gotten from Google/Samsung and Verizon so far. I didn't sign up on that stupid launch page for Google to tease me with pictures or tell me 24hrs before the phone drops that it's actually coming out.
I have been waiting for the car dock with charging and audio capability since the day the phone launched. Does anyone have information as to whether or not it will be released and if so, when?
Thanks!
Mike
As far as anyone knows on here, its up in the air. We've seen a few import websites have them up for order, only to either cancel orders or to backorder them further. Our best guess is it has to do with the 4.0.4 update integrating the docking mechanism, etc. Also, it's probably not in Verizon's best interest to promote anything Galaxy Nexus oriented, they'd rather saturate the DROID branding and RAZR HD MAXX TURBO 7 much more.
Yeah nobody has any idea. I remember when the OG EVO launched, it took many months before HTC released the official car dock, and it was well worth it. Hopefully this is the case.
This is just my skeptical opinion but after owning a Samsung Captivate I have little faith in Samsung doing anything for their products after launch. They are all about making products that sell today. They aren't going to waste money perfecting this dock when they expect the Galaxy S III to make up the bulk of their upcoming sales.
If they had to sell the Galaxy Nexus, and there was no Galaxy S III, they'd have the dock out yesterday. I bet they have dedicated scant resources, which *might* be able to produce a solution *someday*, or never at all.
Anyways, that's just my cynical view. I don't trust Samsung to produce anything other than what I see directly in front of me. That's just their business model. If I know it ahead of time it is less frustrating. They aren't trying to build a reputation of supporting their products after launch like Apple does.
Here's to hoping the car dock bugs are simple to fix and a solution comes out soon!!

I've already contacted Ballistic about the HC series case for the GS3. They currently do not have this in the works. However, they claimed that if they get enough requests for the HC series case, then they will produce it. I am asking all of you (even if you dont plan on getting a case as bulky as an HC series from Ballistic) to please email them and request it. here is the email address for Ballistic - [email protected]
Well that's dumb of them, not to have one in the works. The SGS3 is very likely to be the most ubiquitous smartphone ever, outside of the iThing. If ever they would get their investment back on producing a case, this would be it. Good luck, hope they change their mind!

Anyone interested in helping with this endeavor? Need as many people as possible to shoot them an email requesting the HC Series Case for the GS3...
bumping OP so more ppl see this...
I emailed them over the weekend. I too would love to have this case. I'm getting tired of iPhone getting all the cool accesories. I guess they have to have all the cool stuff because the phone sucks lol. Just kidding, don't flame me I will provide an update if I ever hear anything back from Customer Service.
UPDATE: I just received an email from Ballistic's Customer Support stating that they will be coming out with th HC series case for the S3. They did not give a date, but said to keep checking their site for a release date.

I've been checking since I received that same email in July. STILL no HC series case, OR release date - yet the iCrap 5 already has it "coming soon" what the F?
hey just thought i would let you guys know not to purchase this watch, i bought it and the experience has been horrible!
there web site had showed it would support our phone and a few other androids, guess what happens at launch it now supports Ios ONLY(shifty and shady)
the device is a cool idea and hopefully can be pulled off by another company someday.....but this company is a joke of all jokes first of all they dont have a phone number, email correspondence takes days(i am pretty sure email is instant and its 2012), when i got the item its addressed to someone else in Florida(i am in Minnesota)
needless to say this is a warning for everyone considering this item down the road i honestly think i am out of $150 on this deal because non stop emails to cookoo support and the inventor have got me no where. I purchase just about everything online, have it shipped, and end up with a smile.....this on the other hand has been the worst online purchase i have ever made hoping i can get the word out!
This isn't entirely true.
I supported this watch as a kickstarter project and they did state that they would be supporting Android. While currently they have only released the iOS app, as an early backer I have received plenty of communication as to their progress on the Android app. I have found their service to be efficient and their communication to be prompt.
They currently have a version of the app that works for HTC phones, and are working on making this work for Samsung phones, SPECIFICALLY the Galaxy SIII. Just like everything else, the uniformity of iOS makes development quite easy for it, and like just about everything else, apps are released for iOS before Android. I realize this is a generality, but it's often the case.
They have enlisted the help of recognized developers from this very community and they will have an app for your phone soon.

Try initial a dispute charges with your credit card company. Don't pay the scammers.
Wow i wanted to order one. They look really good. In an article they said the watch would work on andrid 4.1. Doesn't it autopair through bluetooth? It needs the app?

There is a beta on the Play Store compatible only with Samsung devices. Would love to see if someone could get it and make it available to everyone. This cookoo team has really done nothing to little to satisfy their promises to develop for Android. Choosing just the S III/S IV is pretty obtuse in my opinion.

My experience has not been anything like that. It was also clear that as a BT 4.0 low energy device it would not be supported until Android or the manufacturers fork of Android supported BT 4.0. That didn't happen until Android 4.3 came out, or earlier on a few select phones. There are all kinds of BT gadgets that have not worked until very recently, if at all.
At the moment as has been pointed out only the Samsung S4 is supported, I've been in contact with the Kickstarter team and had a couple of responses so far. Yes they take a few days to respond - as you can imagine there probably get hundreds if not thousands of emails. So far it sounds like they have a general Android 4.3 app ready but are waiting on something from Google to get it released . I'm not sure what that could be - but I'm starting to wondering if they actually mean that they are waiting for Android 4.4 which might have some BT API bug fixes or something like that. Since Android 4.4 will be rolling out for Nexus devices very soon - within a month? - I have already ordered my device. They have assured me it will work with Android as soon as the app comes out.
With Kickstarter you are investing in the concept - you have to be patient. Some are just looking for money to fund a volume order, some need much more than the money - time too! I have another Kickstarter project that is now delayed from July release to Feb 2014. It sucks because I really wanted the device right now and may have to buy something temporary, but like I said, this is an investment not just a "pre-order" whether you like it or not.
I hope you can be patient and eventually very happy with the watch!
anyone have an APK I can try on the Xperia Z?
i'm deeply regret bought this watch
same problem as you happen on 2012

Does anyone know when this watch is going to be released? I read somewhere that it might get released at the end of September, but on here it's showing November 2014.

It depends if you mean the US or Europe. Based on this video taken by CNET France, it looks like it's set for early to mid December, but the video said nothing about differing prices overseas, so based on the fact that most watches are being globally released at the same time, it's safe to assume that the date in the video is for both regions.
Also, the video lists the complete specifications which were on display. (Link to specific time here).
Apparently it has a 369 mAh battery. Not the top of the line, but not nearly the lowest, either. considering it has an AMOLED display, the battery life will be severely determined by how much of the screen is covered with completely black pixels. A proper watch face theme to compliment this will greatly increase battery life, as AMOLED means that all black pixels are actually not being powered. The results in the dark are also quite stunningly delicious to look at, by the way. (I own a Moto X that has a AMOLED display. The max hours I've had it running with a set of 400+ apps installed (including system) was 41 hours.
This, of course, took a bit of tweaking with some root apps... but considering the smartwatches don't have much running on them and the feature set on them are dependent on what apps are installed on your phone, rooting will most likely never be necessary for them.
I was speaking in terms of North American release date. Being that I'm in Canada, I'll probably get screwed on the launch date here, usually happens that way.
I heard for release date was to try before Christmas. As they have said try may end up being 2015. Hope it soon this is the one watch I'm looking forward to

I have a Pebble currently, and it's really nice, love the 5-7 day battery life on it. But I want something a little classier, and for a little more than the Pebble Steel I can get this watch.
I think it's really stupid that Samsung and Apple released watches that only work with their phones. Completely cuts off a lot of potential users. Glad Asus didn't do that.
Can be Pre-ordered now...

I wouldn't hold your breath – looks like only 300 are to be released and maybe only in Taiwan!
Cant post links yet, see the article on digitaltrends (maybe someone else can post the link)
only 300? where did you get that info?
I haven't made enough posts yet to post the link to the article, but if you go to digitaltrends site and search for Zenwatch it will be the first article you find.

I find this highly unlikely. Why would they do a large public unveiling, only to make 300 devices?

I spent 3 1/2 hours today driving and calling one Best Buy after another before someone actually was helpful enough to look into it more deeply and tell me that not only did they not have it, they never received any and in fact, no Best Buy store in Southern California had received or sold any.
Went to T-Mobile and bought the Samsung Gear S.
I went to 3 different best buys. nobody had it. i went and bought a casio g-shock instead.
Good job Asus
Getting worse by the minute. Now it's in best buy's system, but they've upped the price to 229.00

still not available anywhere, but you can spend more than they said to not have it now at least. I'll pass. There are plenty of good alternative options, and more in the pipeline.
