Nexus Prime?

Not sure if I am the only one considering this as my next phone. However I'd like to know if anyone thinks this phone will be sold by Verizon....(assuming they pick it up)
What I mean by this is; from what I understood when the first Nexus device came out it was sold by Google only and cost full retail, as a contract wasn't attached to it.
I'd love to get the Nexus Prime but I don't want to pay full retail...

Given how Verizon likes to keep a clamp on the devices they sell, and their history of never leaving a device unmolested (sans iFone), I seriously doubt you'd ever see that phone there. Even if it does, it will be trumped in capability by the Vigor since Samsung uses their own LTE chip, not the MDM9600, which is the only way to get full simultaneous voice/data at the moment. But, if you're a fan of AMOLED and you've got LTE everywhere you'll ever be, and it supports Verizon's 700MHz LTE, not AT&T's LTE freq, and full retail isn't an issue, I might be tempted... That's a lot of "if"s though.

I'm also skeptical about verizon getting the nexus. The specs do look good but samsung's galaxy line feels so cheap. If samsung hadn't shorted HTC amoled screens HTC would have the nicest phones on the market.

Truth.
I don't see Samsung being able to keep up with their agenda AND HTC's agenda though, both of them sell so many phones so it only makes sense that Samsung would keep their in house tech for themselves. Especially against HTC... The AMOLED screens are pretty much all Samsung has.

Here's my thought... Verizon confirmed they are not carrying the Sgs2 corrrect? Therefore I wonder why the hell they wouldn't they want one of the more popular phones to replace they're SGS1?
Either a bad taste in they're mouth from the sgs1 or they don't want to waste resources on the Sgs2 when the rumored release of the prime being October? That's why I think Prime is Verizon bound.
Correct me if I'm wrong on any of those rumors please. Hell who knows maybe Verizon is skipping the SGS2 so they can be the first US carrier with the SgS3, and its completely unrelated to the Nexus Prime. But with the 720p screen and the TI Omap it looks so damn sexy.

Well I understand that it's a possibility that Verizon may not be getting the NP, but IF they do would it likely be sold at Verizon? If I can renew my contract and get the phone for a reasonable price then I am all for it.

For real. If Verizon gets this exclusively that'll be garbage.

Great, another outlet to throw away our privacy and give companies more of our information to use and sell, for the convenience of being quickly informed of when we can give them more of our money...

Lmao. I got duped on google nexus register. Samsung is sending advertiesments to me now. But no mention of nexus. The ole bait and switch just for advertising. Even lamer.
I voided my warranty and your nexus.

I am using a damn Samsung gravity. I sold my sensation for this crap. I am going to get amaze.

I just saw that. YOu know what? F*** google. They claim that they intend to do things differently, but then at the end of the day they sell out to the highest bidder.
I was a serious google fan, but the edges are starting to crack and it is slowly dawning on me that the innovative, fast moving company of the early 2000's is becoming a weighed down hegemony of bean counting MBA's who are starting to only get it right when they get lucky.
Exclusive on the most expensive carrier in the USA. The same carrier that replaced their search engine with Bing on 1/3 of their Android lineup. Not a word of it breathed at their week-late press conference. My own fault for getting my hopes up, I suppose.
I am due for a new phone around December/January and this will afford me the opportunity to take a good long look at what Windows phone has to offer before the Galaxy Nexus is even available to me.

Don't feel bad. Just remember one thing. Google is a business company. They don't care about me and you. They support whoever pay more. I am going to get SGS2 or HTC Amaze. I don't have a choice and can't wait longer than the end of nov which is my upgrade time.

i used to be with Tmo but had to switch cause i got stationed in Montana, and now im kinda glad i did, even though I loved the big T

If tmobile is going to get it, they will mention this at the event on Friday. we will see.

Relax. I highly doubt its anything more than a timed exclusive. Both the nexus one and nexus s were only on one carrier originally.
And yes, if you were planning on getting the international one, i'm pretty sure it will still work on AT&T or T-Mo as long as the bands match up.

Well if they're pentaband then you could just buy the world phone model at full price and go. I think it only affects those looking to pick it up on a contract.
It is weird Verizon having a Nexus. Seem to clash together but my work has Verizon so why pay for a personal line?
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Bet you when they are referring to the 'exclusive' Galaxy Nexus they are only talking about the LTE model and all the others will get the pentaband one at pretty much the same time.

Just had a thought... I know it doesn't say it, but... maybe it word play. I mean they will be the exclusive carrier of the LTE version, but remember there's too versions. Hhhuuummmm
Stupid Samsung, why can't you just release carrier info. when you unveil it.
**Edit**
Damn, beat me to it... we're on the same wave length though.

I'm not gonna act like I'm not disappointed they have exclusively, especially since the other Nexus phones started as exclusive to one carrier as well. I wish they would just drop the whole exclusivity thing and make it available to everyone day one as exclusivity only really hurts the consumer. No way I'm switching to Verizon for this phone. I'll either import or wait for the GSM version to hit the US (if it's not that long of a wait). It's really bad for the phone's sales too considering in the world of smartphones, the next big release is always right around the corner and you will lose a lot of potential customers who will get something else because they don't feel like waiting anymore or something else hits the market. The average consumer doesn't know care about the Nexus brand, they care about new and noteworthy so why not try to rope them in while the iron is hot?

Anybody thinks that the delay isn't about pushing the RAZR is crazy.
Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.
You are now chatting with 'Mya'
Mya: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Scott: Do you have any information regarding the release of the galaxy nexus?
Mya: I do not have any information about that phone but I can help you find another great phone today.
Scott: When I switch to Verizon, I just want the galaxy nexus.
Mya: What do you like about that phone?
Scott: Android 4.0, NFC, direct support from google for software updates, 720p Super AMOLED display, stock android software, LTE.
Mya: Have you considered the Droid RAZR?
Scott: I have not, but I do know what the RAZR is. Verizon pushes the Droid line of phones onto its customers.
Scott: It's Verizon's specific line of Android powered phones so that's what they want to sell the most of.
Mya: Well the RAZR is a great phone to consider. Right now the iPhone is a huge seller but it seems like the RAZR would be a better fit for you.
Scott: Why would the RAZR be a better fit?
Mya: Well it is a better phone over the iPhone. It is Android, it is a 4G LTE phone.
Scott: Have you seen or heard about the galaxy nexus?
Mya: I have not, we do not have any information about that phone.
Scott: I mean do you even know what it is?
Mya: I do know what phone you are referring to I just do not have any information about it but the RAZR does have a 4.3" Super AMOLED advanced display.
Scott: So you have heard about the galaxy nexus. Have you read any of the specs about the galaxy nexus?
Mya: I have not.
Scott: The Galaxy Nexus is superior in every way compared to the RAZR. Verizon must want to just sell the RAZR and not the Nexus.
Mya: Is there anything I can help you with regarding a phone that we currently have or a order?

Verizon never announced a release date...It hasn't even been a full month since the GSM release.

A month is not a large delay in the grand scheme of things.
I find it funny that:
1) You told her you wanted an android phone, so somehow when she tries to tell you about another android phone, the RAZR, it means Verizon is delaying the Nexus for the RAZR?
2) Everyone on this forum knows not to take anything a CSR says without a few thousand grains of salt. And now all of the sudden everything this "online chat rep, Mya", says is true?
Don't get me wrong, I have trolled a handful of CSRs in my time, but using what a CSR says to prove your own theories is just plain stupid.

They do that because many of these sales people are on commission and would rather sell you phone that is currently available vs. a phone that might be available next week. Since the Nexus won't be out until a later date you could possibly get it from a different store and that is one less customer for them.
Now I agree that corporate might have partially delayed the phone due to the Razr and Rezound, but I think that that happened before the original projected date of Thanksgiving week. I think the most recent delay (last week) had more to do with the either the 4g outage, or the Google Wallet issue.

No offense but OP you just sound obnoxious from this conversation. Giving hard time and jeering at a random customer service rep just because your phone is delayed? You could have asked about GN in a more decent way I'm sure.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

While offering a current available phone makes sense... I'm hard pressed to know they don't have some extra incentives for the Razr. Even the Razr vs Rezound. How many times have they pushed the Rezound? Never. They never even mention it unless you specifically ask for it. "Oh yea that phone... its ok"

if u really want the GN now, go with a GSM carrier order it unlocked online...no need to harass/bother CS Reps or Sales Reps..I used to work in the wireless retail industry so I know how it is for those people..Granted I was alot more informed then your average rep because I keep up with tech all the time..many times they do have information about the product before launch but are told explicitly not to say anything to the customer about it..Bottomline if u want the GNex on Verizon just wait patiently.

Of course a VZW Rep is going to push the Droid line. It's their flagship series. Sure, the Rezound is a powerhouse compared to the RAZR, but they know the Droid brand sells like hotcakes, hence the major push. Also, as people have mentioned before, they'd rather try to sell you a phone that's available than a phone that isn't. No need to go harassing reps because of that.

Last week, I went to a local Verizon store during my lunch break to ask about the status of the GNex. The reps pleaded ignorance and, upon noticing my Sensation 4G, tried to steer me towards a Rezound.

Big red's corporate offices are plastered with Droid RAZR marketing. It's even in the bathrooms! Meanwhile, not one mention of the GN anywhere. The GN must be a small-fry deal for them. There's no marketing campaign. Meanwhile the RAZR continues to get pumped up for holiday sales.
But, I don't think they delayed the GN for the RAZR though. I don't think the GN was ever a threat. If I had to guess, they were getting the baseband right, dealing with battery life issues and a network outage. Quick aside, you don't launch a device during an outage unless you really want to make a horrible first impression and blow up your call centers. No matter what, clearly something didn't go as planned. Retailers are currently sitting on inventory they are embargoed from selling which is something they really don't like to do.

Will ATT Sell Galaxy Nexus???

So I'm on an att unlimited data plan and on a corporate account so I don't want to change carriers. Also I really don't want to pay $500.00 for a phone. I'm hoping after verizon's 90 days of being exclusive with the nexus other carries will being selling it, but I can't find any info about it. Has anyone heard anything.

i only heard of Sprint officially getting the Galaxy Nexus. no att or tmobile

Well... T-Mobile and AT&T never officially sold the N1 in their stores.
OP, Don't count on it.... just buy it unlocked. you're gonna be waiting so long to have the possibility of it being sold here that it'll be old news by the time it does. There hasn't even been a plausible rumor of it coming to T-Mobile or AT&T in the US since it was launched. Its been months.

I agree with these posts. AT&T never themselves sold the Nexus One or the Nexus S, so it seems highly unlikely that they will a subsidized Galaxy Nexus.

Unlikely that we will see AT&T officially carrying the Galaxy Nexus, you're better off getting a Galaxy S2, selling it and then adding a bit of cash on top to get an unlock GNex. It really is a great phone.

You cant get a carrier any less "Android friendly" than Att.

note
They do have the galaxy note... I'm on verizon with the gnex and if the note came to verizon I would have seriously considered it...

So many people have AT&T but I never hear anything good about them. I only hear bad things about their call quality, dropped calls and crappy unstable data. So why do people actually stay with them? Just because it is GSM. If you live in the US and don't travel out of country often, what would any other advantage be to stick with a crappy provider?

Agreed, but like the sliment mentioned. He's on an unlimited plan which no longer exists on many carriers. I suspect a lot of folks are "stuck" with att because they don't want to lose their unlimited plan. I'm sure if Verizon still had an unlimited plan that many unlimited att users would jump ship.

Precisely this. The ones w/ bad experiences will be those who spout off on XDA.
AT&T doesn't universally suck across the country, its extremely region dependent. People just have problem with some of their practices and plans, which makes people say they hate AT&T.

What I did is, I bought the samsung galaxy note from amazon for only $250 instead of $300 from ATT without tax. I resold the phone and bought the galaxy nexus from negri.
GL man, i'm growing to like my galaxy nexus more and more, making me not regret keeping the note even though it has LTE and 8 mp pixel. :>

Like any carrier, AT&T is great in some areas of the country and bad in others. In my hometown in Western Massachusetts, AT&T is a god compared to Verizon. However, down in NJ where I am currently living, it is the opposite.
As for AT&T getting the Galaxy Nexus I doubt it. By the time they get things figured out, a new phone with ICS, that has better specs would have come out. Plus, AT&T has the Galaxy Note, which I know they have been pushing pretty heavily in new england due to the number of commercials I have seen about it.

The concept of Nexus (untainted, easily-hacked Android devices) is a foreign one to AT&T. If your heart is set on a Nexus, you'll have to buy it outright. Otherwise, as others have mentioned, the Note looks like a hell of a device.

How good will the Galaxy Nexus be at retaining its value?

While I have no interest in purchasing the N4 as of yet, I was wondering though how good will the GNexus be at retaining it's value in the coming months or perhaps over till next fall when the next phone comes out? I figure that it be somewhat good since it is a Nexus and all but I think my phone is locked to the network (Rogers in Canada). So I guess I am asking is if I were to wait to sell my Nexus would I still get relatively the same amount of money for it if I were to sell it now?

not sure anyone really can predict the future of demand for this phone. I'd assume it will depreciate at the same rate as most android phones.

It seems that the CDMA phones (Verizon, sprint) may fetch a little more than the gsm's for a little while since there is not an N4 with CDMA listed yet.
Its still a good phone and it would be able to use sprints new LTE network. So its a current phone in that regard.

I think you're spot on. The CDMA versions will hold their value slightly better because they're the only AOSP supported devices on those networks. The sheer size of Verizon's network will help further that along.
I also think it will hold value because it should be easily able to support android 5.0 whenever it's released.

maybe in the future the CDMA ones will hold value but as of right now, the unlocked GSMs are fetching $100 more than CDMA versions on Ebay.

Not at all. Considering that the Gnex was just $350 a few weeks ago before it got pulled, and replaced with a Nexus 4 which is a much better handset by a boatload for the same price... if I was in the market for a Gnex I wouldn't pay anything more than $150-$200 for one. And at that point logic kicks and tells me to just drop the extra $150 for the Nexus 4. Like the user said above, maybe the CDMA versions will retain a higher value since the Nexus 4 won't be available for CDMA networks. My 2 cents.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

cdma versions will always be the ugly versions of this phone, locked into sprint or verizon, and only have any value in a lte market. If you are on those carriers you will just use your upgrade to get a newer phone. (wrong section, belongs in Q&A)

Agreed, CDMA is a downside for resale value.

I'll probably sell my Galaxy Nexus for 100-150 bucks next year when I get the "Nexus 5". I'm skipping the Nexus 4.

I'd say this price range will hold for quite some time. It'll level off and stay around $100-150.

I'm skipping the Nexus 4 as I skipped Modern Warfare 3. Both flops. I believe this phone will hold its resale value fairly well because not a lot of people are happy with the LGnex.

i dont think youll get the same amount of money than right now... obviously the cause the device gets older and new phones start coming out. i just sold my galaxy nexus for $300 to upgrade to the n4.... but i'm sure galaxy nexus will hold its price at around 150-200 mark for quite some time, just like how the galaxy2 is holding its price

I think the Gnex will hold it's price for like 6 months or so, as there are people who would prefer the Gnex over the N4, especially at a $100-150 savings.
I wouldn't expect to get the same sorta price as the N4 though, even the 8gb one at $300. It'd have to be 50 bucks less or maybe a little more even.

I dont think the N4 could ever be a flop. The Nexus 7 has already been one of the most commercially successful Android tablets yet. The relatively low price has to be a big factor in that. With the same pricing strategy for the Nexus 4 I think it will atttract the same level of attention as the Nexus 7. Well done Google.
Actually its surprising how many people who've seen my GNex and asked what it is have said they'd never even heard of the Nexus line. I think that will end with the Nexus 4.

With the same pricing strategy for the Nexus 4 I think it will atttract the same level of attention as the Nexus 7. Well done Google.
Actually its surprising how many people who've seen my GNex and asked what it is have said they'd never even heard of the Nexus line. I think that will end with the Nexus 4.

i totally agree with you... a lot of my friends have never heard of the nexus line... its just not mainstream. I think with google's competitive pricing with the nexus4 is a game changer. With the price being the same as the current galaxy nexus... WHY wouldnt you upgrade? the specs is better in almost every category... and the most you'd lose is about $100 if you bought the phone for $350. Galaxy nexus is a good phone, but it could only get better from here.

.....I believe this phone will hold its resale value fairly well because not a lot of people are happy with the LGnex.

lol i dont even know what to say to this, just wait for it to be released and then you will see exactly how many ppl are happy

You're quite lucky if you live in the US as you could take advantage of the cheap price, if you're from US you should buy it, it's a steal otherwise you would be paying almost double for the nexus 4 on some other countries.

I want to say one last thing in this thread.
If you want to make good money off selling your old Nexus phone, forget it. Google has changed the market expectations for these handsets and you will not be keeping a lot of value with the price being so low as a brand new device.
