Samsung Galaxy Nexus ad says it will hit Verizon on November 29, to cost $199.99

Samsung Galaxy Nexus ad says it will hit Verizon on November 29, to cost $199.99
Nobody is really sure what it means at the moment, but we definitely know the ad showing the Verizon Galaxy Nexus for $199.99 is real. As in, It's not fake since it's showing up on Android sites across the web (we've spotted it here at AP, at Phandroid, and DroidForums to name a few). These ads are run by NetShelter, which is a premium advertising network that deals directly with carriers and manufacturers and does not mess around - we know them all too well.
Clicking Learn More goes to this page that doesn't list the Galaxy Nexus, so either someone pressed the Launch button a bit too early or the ad was scheduled ahead of time and someone forgot to postpone it due to all the recent delays. One thing stands out, however - $199.99 is about $100 cheaper than we thought the Nexus would go for. Of course, it may be a holiday promotion, but hey - we'll take it.

Note the tag "cmp=BAC-OM-111129-HOLIDAYSAMSUNG" in the Learn More url, which seems to point at a mysterious 11/29 date. Could it be the date the sale will go online? In that case, we're definitely seeing it prematurely.

That's a pretty damn good deal. Hopefully it's true!

Sounds great, this will be much easier to justify, hopefully amazon does it for 1cent.

That will probably be for the 16 GB version. $299 will be for the 32 GB version.

That seems more realistic.
Unless, Verizon wants to bet Google how much better they can sell the Nexus phones, to make them the only retailer to carry it...

I thought it was already determined the 32gb version was the US LTE version? Then again...everything about this phone is rumored.

I agree, especially if this info is any indicator. The page previously had storage listed as 16GB, but has since changed it to 32GB.
So, I think it's a good chance that $199 may hold up.

Nexus 7 3G releasing November 13th still?

Looking at the Play store it lists the Nexus 4 and 10 as the 13th of this month however the 3G Nexus 7 has no date. Is it still releasing the 13th or has the date been moved?

T-Mobile had an internal document (leaked) that said 11/13. It also said only at the Google Play store.
I hope B&M retailers will have them too.

thanks for info! you give me a hope! really need this device before flight in moscow (18 november)
thanks a lot!

Even if Google Play releases on the 13th., you still might be cutting it close. If they don't sell in B&M and only via Play Store, you would need to receive it by Friday the 16th. You would probably need to chose expedited shipping to be safe. Otherwise, 3-5 days would possibly not get to you in time.

flight from JFK 18November at 19.00, I think everything gonna be alright

Damn it ! i ask'd my friend to bring it but his flight is departing on 13th nyt
Wish there b someone to get me one

[Q] Am I getting 2 Nexus'?

As you can see it shows that I have 2 nexus' in my google play orders section.
But in my google wallet it only shows 1.
Am I going to get 2 or is it just a glitch?
Id be happy with two....

anyone?

Call Google and ask?

It definitely looks like it. Two separate orders and both have estimated shipping dates. You have to options...
1) Call Google and cancel one of them
2) Just wait for both to be delivered and either return one or sell it to some unlucky soul on here who wasn't able to order one.
If I were you I would go with option 2 if you can go without an extra $349 for a few days. I personally wouldn't try messing with my order right now in fear that by canceling 1 Google may actually cancel both and you would have to wait for the next batch to re-order, which could be in 3 days or 3 weeks for all we know.

Option 2 would definitely earn op some positive karma, lol.

Agreed. Especially if he just sold it to cover his original cost. At this point I really wish I was able to order more than one so I could ensure some other members here got them instead of going into the hands of people like my girlfriend who drops the **** out of everything she owns.

More than likely a glitch. The play store order section seems to be that way for a lot of people. Me included I ordered a N4 and bumper and only show 2 bumpers but when I click on either 'info' link it takes me to my order of the phone and bumper and that's all I was charged for and that's what my email says I ordered and has me down for. So don't get your hopes up! Or anyone. But call Google to see and update us.

Official Playstore page

Here is the Playstore page with the phone and prices as expected $649.99 32gb, $699.99 64gb
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_6_32GB_Midnight_Blue?id=nexus_6_blue_32gb
Now to wait for them to open up the pre orders in 12 days. My f5 key will be broken by then.

Nice. Was wondering when it would pop up.
I just noticed that it ships with a Motorola Turbo Charger in the box. That's nice, and is a $35 add-on with Moto X.

Well that proves it... It will be the same price even from Google directly. Guess I'm getting mine from AT&T, same price either way.
EDIT: Wait, in the "What's in the box" section it says it comes with the Turbo Charger ($35) If so, that adds even more value to the Nexus 6.

'Turbo charger' is the the wall unit that the cable plugs in to. It supposedly charges super fast (6 hours battery life on a 15 minute charge or something similar)

Huh? Yeah I knew that lol, was just surprised it came with it included. For the Moto X 2014 it's an $34.99 add-on.

Yes, its inclusion shaves the effective price difference between a 32 GB Moto X and a 32 GB Nexus 6 down to $65.

Tap 10

Has anyone received the "Tap 10" promotion on android pay yet? I've been patiently waiting.

Did you get the updated app? Once I updated I saw the promotion.

Lot of good it'll do... I went ahead and set up pay and have wanted to use it but nobody accepts it. Everywhere I go I ask and they all tell me no.

I got an update a few days back. I believe it's version 1.2.1. I'll just keep waiting patiently. I was just curious if it started rolling out.

I got it. My 1st tap counted. Unfortunately my next 2 didn't. Google is taking a look at it.

Cashiers have no idea about Android Pay. It works basically everywhere for me. It uses the same system as PayPass and so forth. Just look for this logo:

So did the card just show up or did it show up after you made a purchase?

The card just showed up for me.
That said, I'm only eligible for three songs, rather than songs and a Chromecast. Has anyone else experienced this? My only thought is that I'm getting a lesser offer because I took advantage of the best Buy gift card offer previously.

I really think it's random. I already own a Chromecast and I used the Best Buy gift card as well, and I'm eligible for a Chromecast.
Google fixed my issue, whatever it was. Woke up this morning and saw where yesterday's transactions counted.

Did you just give feedback in the app? Or who did you contact?
