By If you’re unsure what this whole “Holidroid Contest” thing is all about, be prepared to get excited. From November 24th through December 25th, Phandroid is giving away a Kindle Fire every single day along with other great prizes like the Galaxy Nexus Galaxy Tabs, JAMBOX, SmarTouch Gloves, Android Phones, Android T-Shirts, Seidio Vouchers and more. Read our announcement post for details.
Yesterday’s Winner
We asked you to mock up a new Android app idea. Your entries spanned the board, but we finally narrowed it down to SoldierAngel’s Message Hunter concept. It’s a take on geocaching where a user leaves a geotagged message to be discovered by friends and followers. Google+ integration is used to determine who can view your message. One use could have you leaving a virtual note attached to a restaurant or bar. When your friends happen by there they could read your assessment of the establishment or simply something like “Kev wuz heer!” Here’s the mockup:
And here’s what you could win today:
Amazon Kindle Fire
The Kindle Fire could be this holiday’s hottest product: at only $199 it’s not only one of the most affordable Android tablets, it’s also one of the best. That’s a killer combination. With a beautiful UI, great battery life, carefully curated apps/games, and an amazing array of media options thanks to Amazon’s Digital Content Ecosystem… the Kindle Fire is a sure win. Good luck winning one in our contest, but at only $199 it’s probably worth buying one just in case!
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Everyone seems to be craving Samsung Android devices these days, and for good reason. Samsung makes some of the best hardware out there, coupled with great software integration, and the Galaxy Nexus (above) and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus are two great examples of Samsung’s industry leading products. These devices were sponsored directly by Samsung, thanking our readers and forum members for their excitement, interest, and support over the past year. With a 7-inch screen, 1.2GHz dual core processor, 1GB RAM, MicroSD slot, camera that records in 720p HD, and screen that displays in 1080p HD, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is a high end alternative to the Kindle Fire… and you can win BOTH in our contest!
Isotoner SmarTouch Gloves
Every single holiday season these SmarTouch smartphone gloves are consistently one of my favorite gift giving items. They eloquently solve one of the most fundamental problems a tech lover faces: using your device in cold weather. Wearing gloves usually prevents your touchscreen from working: take your phone out, take your glove off, use your phone, hand gets gold, shove phone in pocket, rush to get glove on. NO MORE! Isotoner’s SmarTouch gloves, designed in my colors and sizes for both men and women, has technology that passes the electrons your body gives off, through the gloves, onto the capacitive screen and allowing it to work. VOILA! Seriously. It works. Trust me. Try it… and you’ll love them forever.
Andy Robot T-Shirt
True Android enthusiasts and tech lovers enjoy expressing their Android attitude and there is no better way to do so then with an Android Robot T-Shirt from the brilliant folks at iSteamAndy. They’ve created a series of artistic, creative Android Robot themed T-shirts with fun, rich imagery. They sell like hotcakes and have limited production runs so get each design while you still can. Some of their top designs (and ones we’re giving away) include: Dark Night Andy, iSteam Andy,Flying Andy, Exploded Andy, Andy Verus, and Unstoppable Andy. Check out
Seidio $30 Voucher
With so much smartphone use comes battery drain. Thankfully, Seidio makes some awesome extended batteries that fit many smartphones, allowing you to get longer battery life with the same device. No more toting around a charger everywhere you go: just snag a Seidio and call it a day! Seidio also makes cases, holsters, and other great accessories for your smartphones.Check them all out here.
ZeeMote Bluetooth Game Controller
The Zeemote Bluetooth Game Controller compacts things into one comfortable, ergonomically sound gaming package. You use one hand and the controller has an analog stick with four action buttons on it. It’s a bit reminiscent of a Nintendo Wiimote – makes you wonder where the name was inspired from. There are many games in the Android Market already compatible with the Zeemote, including the popular title R-Type, and you may even be able to use it with some of your emulators. It goes perfectly with many Android devices, from 3.2 inch phones to 10.1 inch tablets. And if you want the ultimate gaming experience, Zeemote + Phone/Tablet + TV + HDMI-out = awesome.

“Minute 5 of my wait for the oh so elusive galaxy nexus. I’m tired, thirsty, hungry and a bit gassy. Lucky for me the wind is blowing downstream of myself and I have a leftover cookie from last nights galaxy nexus pre-launch party. Will report back every 5 minutes until I get a nexus and it will be glorious. Ending voice memo 1.”
“Hey, what are the odds that everyone passing by us thinks an iphone is launching today?”
Man: “I am so excited about this iPhone 5! That’s what we are in line for right? I need to be validated!!”
Guy in red and grey jacket: “I obviously missed the memo with instructions to wear all black…”
Do you think they have the new Iphone in Stock?
Occupy Verizon.
This is hilarious lol
So you are saying you are creative right?
“The few, the proud, the sleepless”
I hear it has the wifis.
“It’s a long line, but it’s totally worth it…I’ve been waiting forever for these Justin Beiber tickets!”
Who ever wears black gets the phone!!! Guy in red, “ummmmmm”
Pudgy Bald Guy: I’m just here for the ice cream sandwiches.
“Is this the lineup for Marshalls?”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line,” Dude!!! You get a free two ice cream sa’miches, on a double purchase. That’s just crazzzyyy!”
is this the line to get that phone with ICE CREAM in it? :)
We are such nonconformists.
Guy looking to the right: “Hey you, do not try to cut the line… I will slice you with the Droid Razr before I exchange it for the Galaxy Nexus.”
“iPhone fans are such sheep.” “Ya. We’re totally different than them.”
“Ive been in line since last night to get the latest and greatest iPhone 5…oh did they rename it to the Galaxy Nexus now?”
“What, this isn’t the line for the white RAZR?”
do they sell ice cream in this line?
Crap! There are sooo many people here. I am going to be pissed if I can’t get my white Razr today!
What? This isn’t this the line to audition for Men In Black 3 “Galaxy Nexsu”!?
I want to win, but probably wont…. again….
“Man, what do you think Marshall’s is giving away? The line is so long it even goes past the store!”
This is the line for the White RAZR right?
“They probably were driving by, saw the line and assumed the iPhone 5 was out.”
Credit goes to Justin from the first post with this picture. 86+ likes so far, hilarious!!
“These pretzels are makin’ me thirsty.”
“Did they just announce another Delay?”
“After I get my hands on my Galaxy Nexus I’m getting my feet into those sweet looking pumps in the window display at Marshalls!”
Angry-looking guy to the people behind him: “Hey, no chat and cuts!”
Guy at the end : ” I cant believe the line behind me to get into Marhalls, I better get those 15 dollar pair of defective polo jeans!!
“Does this ride accept FASTPASS?”
Guy: “Funny, so it isn’t only hipsters that wait in lines…”
“I was told there’d be cake..”
“OOOOH…what are we lining up for? Is this Marshall’s having a big sale today? Maybe I can get that iPhone 3g now to replace my startac. You know, I got a real good deal on some Michael Jordan cologne here last week. Hey…looks like that Verizon store might be having a sale too????”
‘This the line for the iNexus?”
“This line is almost as long as we have had to wait for this phone”
“I just want to pay my bill…..uuuggghhhh!!?!”
are you serious, this is the line for the free colonoscopy’s
“Kudos to Verizon for having baristas going up an down the line handing out coffee while we wait”
“Hey man, have you seen those recent Samsung commercials with all those iPhone fanboys waiting in line….hilarious. “
“o oh, the reviews said the battery is changeable””It looks totally different, my boss will know I upgraded the phone!””is it 4G? is it 4G? Damn! it is 4G””Guys in the street will ask to see my phone with their hands!!”
“Oh, that’s nothing. I’ve been here since the 17th of November.”
This is where the flash mob is right?
This is what happens when you take the (Big) red pill……..
I didn’t know there was “insert apple product name” coming out today jeez I feel like a tool
The non-believers gathered assuming that the Loch Ness monster was a legend, that Bigfoot wasn’t real and Area 51 held no aliens, but today were disappointed as the mythical Galaxy Nexus was proved real.
The last time I waited in a line this long, the iphone was an innovative device.
“I thought this was the line for Sox tickets! You guys are crazy. In my day, a truck used to bring Ice Cream Sandwiches right to your block.”
Is this the line to bash the iPhone 4s?
1st guy in the queue: “Are they really launching the phone today Or is it a Prank again ? “
Did they release the iphone 5 with 4G and call it a Nexus? Apple sure knows what they’re doing.
Ten thousand people standing outside of an apple store = hipsters. Ten thousand people standing outside a verizon store = a bunch of angry developers (nerds) Finally getting a Galaxy Nexus… Priceless.
“I can’t wait for the White RAZR!!!!!!”
“whats that high schooler doing in line for this phone with the red jacket on? amongst all us business men? someone should tell him its not the iphone launch its for the NEXUS!”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line: “I could never own an iPhone; I’m a web dev.”
“Dude, you’re a designer.”
Haha, nice.
“where all the ladies at?!”
Dude in Black: Hey iPhoner! Im getting a Nexus! Can you hear me now?!
“AH! Dude! I just checked my Message Hunter. And there is a note here that says they ran out of Nexus’!”
guy turning, “Man that guy with the headphones smells..”
guy with headphones, “I can hear you… and its a medical issue. I have to eat lots of garlic.”
When the $&#% did we get ice cream?
“Wow this economy has gotten bad!! Look at all these people in line for soup!”
“Actually, we’re in line for ice cream sandwiches.”
Hey! That guys not wearing a black coat! He must be a barista.
Jesus it’s cold out here! Pleaseeeeee don’t let them sell out before I get inside. What’s it going to take? I’ll sacrifice my left nut to the Android Gods for one!
so i can get rid the verizon part, right?
“….So, do you think my face is pretty enough for the Face Unlock to work?”
So apparently, the iPhone 5 delay was a hoax too…
Breaking News: Word of Verizons new “blowout” deal has the World of Warcraft community racing to get in first.
“I heard the new version of Google Translate on this phone will actually convert my Boston accent into something that the rest of the country can understand”
“The new iPhone is called the Galaxy Nexus?”
“Galaxy Nexus? Wasn’t aware they could travel to other Galaxies, but YEA!! Here we come!”
News Presenter: Overhead in the Galaxy Nexus line we see consumers lined up to get the latest and greatest iPhone from— wait, what do you mean it isn’t an iphone?— Galaxy Nexium? — Galaxy Nexus? — Ok, Overhead in the Galaxy Nexus line we see consumers lining up to get something called a Galaxy Nexus.
Here to talk with us about the latest launch is iPhone 3G owner Don Mallard. Don?
Don: Consumers are eager to get hold of their new toy running android 5.0 “Ice Cream”. It has new features such as pinch to zoom and face unlock.
This may not be the funniest caption, but how many times have we seen another average consumer come on the news posing as a tech expert that has no idea what he’s talking about?
Ok, I got my black jacket, now do I +1 this line to move up a spot?
Guy with the funny face: Is that an iphone O.o
Crowd: Hey shut up! We are here for the Galaxy Nexus.
Guy: Sorry
Random guy in the street: I have the new iphone 4s
Crowd: Yes we know our galaxy nexus is the 1st 4.0 device and does not have an S to make it “better.”
Person at the front of the line: I’ve been waiting here since November 21st!
“While the many obliviously stand in line waiting for the latest and greatest in cell phone technology, one man in a turtleneck sweater looks on in horror as the ghost of Zack Morris, clutching his monstrous cell phone in pale lifeless hands, hurdles toward him with anger and fury.”
“Do you think Steven58 will be here!?”
The Galaxy Nexus is the device that will unseat Obama. I’m Mitt Romney (pictured), and I approve this message.
“I wonder what Phandroid readers think people in this line would be saying.”
Man “Is this the end of the line for the new iphone?” Other man “no, its the front of the line, we are all standing backwards.”
Man: “Siri can suck a hairy nipple. Besides, I asked her where the cool kids hangout. Her reply: ‘They’ll be waiting in line in front of the Verizon store for something way cooler than me.'”
“Where’s Starbucks with my Free Coffee and pastries like the iPhone line got?”
Guy in the middle with the bald head: “I herd something about there being ice cream sandwiches for sale, totally worth the wait…”
“If I’m going to wait in line for this long, this better be the Droid I’ve been looking for.”
“I guess it’s actually true what they say about there not being any girls on the internet…this line is a total sausage fest, bro. Up top!” I then imagine he bro-fists the dude next to him.
“Galaxy Nexus? Yeah why don’t you go ahead of us, we’re waiting for the iPhone 5”
“I am smiling!!! I must be on Candid Camera….right? Wait, this is the line for the Nexus…Please, someone tell me this is the line for the Nexus!!!”
“Hey, don’t we look JUST like those Apple fans in Samsung commercials waiting for days for the new iPhone?”
Do you think we’ll get in to see Justin Bieber I am his biggest fan and oh my god its my wife coming, somebody plz hid me before she sees me I cant let her know I am seeing another guy.
“Galaxy Nexus? No, this is the line to get your Android phone updated. Some of us have been waiting a while.”
I need to read rules better…
Its finally out! Lets see best buy demand it back!

Excluding the link. The rest is my entry
“Verizon decided to push back the release again. Everybody go to work.” (Pause) “Well, it was worth a try.”
iPhone User: Psh, finally the Nexus line gets real 4G. My iPhone 4 has had 4g for ages.
The most important thing to look for when buying a phone is not hardware or software but whether or not you want to be grouped as hipsters waiting in line for a phone or businessmen waiting in line for a phone.
Hey brah are we even sure this thing will be released soon?
Nope but by the time we get to the door we will have the option of a white version!!
The lady walking towards them: I love my Iphone 4S! What are all these guys in line for? Crowd: Hey why are you not waiting in line with us? Lady: I already have my Iphone y’all are a little late! Crowd: This is for the Galaxy Nexus a Samsung device you know with a big scratch resistant screen and 4G speeds with face unlock. Lady: (Smirky response) “a Samsung device you know with a big scratch resistant screen 4G speeds and face unlock.” Crowd: she’s just sad she is stuck with her Iphone poor poor lady she will never know the greatness.
I hope tickets to the Wiggles show aren’t sold out!
Bald Guy > “Yea, I didn’t fare so well last nite at that party and the truth or dare game…so here I am…..BALD and freezing my *** off”
“Wait….so this ISNT the line for the iPhone 5???”
“I heard Steve is in there!”
It’s too soon I know.
Galaxy Nexus? Whats that? I thought this was the iPhone line.
Guy looking back: “Yeah, serious. Steve Wozniak told me to get in THIS line. Something about ice cream sandwiches. How can you not trust a fat guy when it comes to food, right?”
“I was getting in line for the white Droid RAZR, but I took an arrow in the knee.”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line: “Did you hear that Apple just patented long lines for phone releases? Samsung is in trouble now…”
That would explain the delay! In order to appease Apple’s lawyers, Verizon had to wait until it was cold enough that lines would be shorter, and only announce the actual release date at the last minute…
haha thats good.
“Steve Wozniak is here promoting the iPhone 5”
Guy facing camera: “Is this the line for the new 4G iPhone?”
That guy has his middle finger up so:
Stranger: “Are you waiting for an iPhone?
FU Dude: “Up yours, kid. Only morons wait in line for a phone that looks the same every year.”
Long line for the loo today!
Real men use Android phones! Specifically, pure Google Android phones!!
Seriously, I don’t see a single woman in that entire line.
“Hi, I’m a Ryan Reynolds look alike, and I approve this picture”
Holy crap he actually does look like the green lantern man!
Holy crap you look like Kobe!?!?
whos kobe? :P
“Think they have enough Nexuses? Nexii? Hey, what’s the plural of Nexus?”
Nexuses should be the plural. Should have researched that for my quote :(
“Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line, someone calling 911 because they overheard someone coming out of the store, screaming SOO SICK!!!!!!, I hope they didn’t go anywhere near the inventory!”
Wait……So you’re tellimg me this isn’t the line for the for the new Nexxus hair gel!!
“It sucks that we have to stand in the cold in this line for our galaxy nexus because the only people that ‘win’ them on the rigged phandroid.com contests are predetermind friends of the employees.”
“Wait, this isn’t an ice cream store!?
How many indecisive Verizon employees does it take to decide on a launch date for the Galaxy Nexus? I don’t know, let’s count. One, two, three, four, …..
‘Twas the day before Nexus and all thru the line, no hipsters were seen just real adults wearing ties…
Guy turns around and says, “this is were the extras line up for the Samsung commercial, right?”
This is the line for the nachos right?
WHAT! Its delayed again!!! And i’ve been waiting in line all this time for the white razr.. Dude let me borrow your iphone i gotta kill something.
Is anyone in this line named “John Conner”?
“I’ve been standing in this line since the first rumored launch date, from Verizon.”
Enter the final frontier with the Galaxy Nexus. Leave your Apple behind.
But Siri said baskin robins was the closest place for an ice cream sandwich.
Guy 1: So what’s this line for anyways?
Guy 2: I dunno I just saw a line so I got in it.
Guy 3: Its for the Galaxy Nexus, it just launched today.
Guy 1: Oh what kind of iPhone is that?
Guy 3: Just leave please.
What is a Nexus sir ? I thought this was the line for Red Sox tickets ?
Overheard Line chatter: “No Seriously Dude, A friend, of a friend, told me that the reason this phone is so good is because Samsung got ahold of a Prototype for the iPhone5 !!!!Yeah, picked it up in a Bar or something!!”
Are you guys all here for the Marshall’s shoe sale too?
“I don’t think Verizon’s plan to attract more women by building beside a shoe shop worked…”
*From a 2111 history textbook*
December 15th, 2011: This photo was found in the ruins of Boston and depicts the day Android Fans became just as crazy as Apple Fans sparking the decades long smartphone wars which resulted in the creation of our android overlords.
“Waldo’s attempt at increasing difficulty by hiding with his back turned was completely foiled by the fact that everyone around him wore black…”
Is this the right line for the Galaxy Nexus? I got in line on the 9th for it and when I finally go in the store they just offered me a Razr.
“Hey everybody the ICS GNex is coming! And remember 2 if is coming by boat and 1 if its coming by truck. Everyone get ready to ambush!” (applicable because the picture was taken in Boston).
Those Verizon noobs better not tell me the nexus isn’t released yet.
We heard they were giving away free ice cream sandwiches, so we will stand here all day.
Breaking News!! Steve rolls over in Grave!!
“Is this the line to buy the New Nexus phone or to report I had relations with Herman Cain? Since I need to do both, this is must be the place for me!”
“What could possibly be going on at Marshal’s worth all this commotion?”
299$ for an ice cream sandwich at verizon?! must be worth it with this line!
Is this the line for the standard issue neuralyzers?
Merry Xmas! Merry Nexusmas!
“As soon as we all get the Nexus, we can hangout for real!” – Overheard in line, talking about Google+ on the Galaxy Nexus.
Where’s Waldo?
Joey stood in line for 3 weeks only to find out that the Galaxy Nexus wasn’t the latest “Episode” in the Stars Wars epic that he thought it was.
I cant wait to use FaceTime
This line better start moving soon. I’m getting married in half an hour. Think I’ll make it?
Guy at in the line with head turned: “I asked Siri this morning if there could possibly be anything better than it….it gave me the location of this line and said “you didn’t hear this from me…””
“You’re here for what? I heard they’re announcing the iPhone 5. I’m getting in line now.”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line…”Totally need to take a leak…Wait…Wait…Ahhhh…Thank you”
I hope my parents don’t see me here! I told them i was skipping rent last month to go out with a girl!
“I’m only getting this Galaxy Nexus to impress the women. I’m gonna go check out Marshall’s lingerie department. Hold my place in line.”
“I heard they’re selling the new iPhone today! It’s called the Galaxy Nexus.”
“Botched Galaxy Nexus Launch or Giant Marketing Scheme?”
The first Nexus on Verizon seems to draw a bigger crowd than the first iOS did. Must be because it’s full of ice cream.
“I heard from the Verizon employee that they were almost out of Galaxy Nexus’ already…”
Guy partly facing Camera grits his teeth thinking: “Noo…!!!”
Move over Christmas, and let G-Nex Day take over!
k Guys, Lets go for the sign….
People are lining to taste the highly anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich, the most creamy OS you can get between two layers of plastic goodness…
Guy turning his head: “This IS the line to meet Chris Chavez and Kevin Krause, right? They’re my idols!! <3 <3 <3"
Hey! Is that “The Woz” returning his Nexus?
This must be the location that the T-mobile elf tweeted about. Man everybody wants a new Galaxy S II.
Periodically, an apple hipster, believing he had somehow missed the launch of a new iDevice, was confused and got in line. However, each would quickly scatter once he became uncomfortable with the conversations involving “customizations” and “ROMs”
Guy in black jacket with a hood : *sees someone (not shown in this pic) watching him and tells dude behind him* Dude I’m scared…that guy keeps watching me…do you think he knows that I used to be a creative barista?
Guy behind him: It’s ok! Here just take a bite of my Ice Cream Sandwich and you’ll be safe
Guy1: I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE GALAXY NEXUS
. W00t
Guy2: Oh is that why we are waiting in line?
Guy1: Uhhh durrr! It’s 5 below zero and baldy over there with headphones is trying to show everyone is d-ck. Why else would you wait in line?
Guy2: I assumed it was for a new iPhone..
Guy1: I was hoping to pick one up with more Gee Bees…
baaa baaaaa baaaaa
to be honest. TL;DR
teal dear?
Haha no. Too Long Didn’t Read = TL;DR
I’m going to Vegas soon do you recommend hotel Aria?
Aria is a nice place. Either that or the Cosmopolitan are the newest hotels and both very nice.
You’ll really love the rooms in Aria. All automated. Control the lights, Window Shades, everything from touch control panels in the room.
You think I’m crazy for waiting in line for a few days for the new nexus 4.0 android? I remember you waiting for the new iphone when it came out. Who’s the real idiot here?!
Thoughts of the guy facing Marshalls:
-Wow, I can’t believe the Nexus is out TODAY….*turns towards marshalls*….-Hhmm a shoe sale???…… :)
-Maybe if I get my wife a pair, I won’t have to hear it the rest of the day and night , that i waited in line since 6AM “for a STUPID phone that will probably be outdated by Christmas”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line that Busta Rhymes was in there!
“Is this the line for Springsteen tickets, Siri?”
“Is this the line for free prostate exams?”….”No, its for some phone on verizon,…same thing.”….”sweet im in”
Guy Walking into Marshall’s: Hey guys is that the line for the Iphone5!?
Guy Looking Back: No you imbecile, this is the line for the most anticipated phone of 2011. The GALAXY NEXUS
Guy Walking into Marshall’s: Ohhh… Is that the one with Google Wallet?
Guy Looking Back: *Speechless*
What do you mean this isnt a line for the iphone 5? I thought the iphone was the only phone good enough to line up for
I just found a message on my Message Hunter app, “I’m Bob in the red jacket, and I was here 10 minutes ago”.
Men In Black only!
December in Boston and I gotta wait this long for an ice cream sandwich?
Romney looking guy: “What if today was the release date all along, and I wasted all those hours refreshing and reading all those Android blogs?”
“I sure hope Busta Rhymes is here!”
Wait a minute, I’m in the wrong place this isn’t the Apple Store. I thought people only stood in line for Apple stuff.
“Galaxy what?! No, were all in line for the white Droid RAZR” ;)
“LOOK AT ME NOW, LOOK AT ME NOW. FRESHER…THAN A..MAHH…….Oh crap! wrong picture”
Sent from my Blackberry Smartphone.
Person (n): Dude, I was just thinking… the entropy of this line is uber low… and it’s pretty cold out here… so the Gibbs free energy is just too high for this to be a spontaneous reaction. Person (n+1): I know, right!? With so many dudes in one place the entropy is as bad as a full line of urinals! Person (n-1): Oh guys! I know this great thermodynamics app… I’ll beam it to you when we bounce outtta hereeee *everyone with big smiles* Person (n, n+1): Right on!
Guy looking tells his friend, “is this a good look for the face unlock function?”
For years Android fans have held a licence to make fun of Apple fans who wait in line for exorbitant amounts of time for their phones. That licence expired today as people lined up around the country to get their hands on Google’s latest nexus phone. Ironically, the licence to show off their larger screens, better hardware, and faster data speeds just got renewed today with no foreseeable expiration date.
“I seriously i have to wait 6 hours just to cancel my account with verizon?…damn you loyal phandroid minions!!! fuuuuuuuuuu!”
This isn’t the line for an iPhone?
Guy looking back: “I hope these peeps from that Phandroid website won’t make any caption on this picture.”
“This is the line for the iPhone 5, right?”
“I still think it’s just a rumor…”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line: “A grilled cheese sandwich would totally win in a fair fight with a taco!””Ya, but a taco would destroy the grilled cheese in a prison rules fight.”
“Why don’t you guys just get 3g phones?”
^Waiting in Verizon’s liiiiine wanting to poo, going to buy the Nexus for my baby boo! ^ (try singing it to the beat of, Up on the rooftop….). A little Xmas humor!
This better not be a lie like this cake I keep hearing about.
Siri told me to quit asking why I couldn’t do
this or that with the iPhone and just get in line for the Galaxy Nexus. By the
looks of this line I’d say I’m not the only one who has been pestering Siri for
answers she can’t provide.
IPhone owner walks up. Why don’t get the iPhone 4 its 4g. Uhhh no its not. Just because it has a 4 in its name doesn’t mean 4g. The galaxy nexus is 4g and is worth standing inline for.
Dude, do you think anyone will notice we’re all dressed in black and label us non-iphone users as “un-creative”? Oh wait there’s someone dressed in a red sweater! Oh nevermind, he’s in line for the bathroom…
I’ve been in this line since November 8th and all I got was a Galaxy Nexus.
I have been trying to win a Galaxy Nexus on the Phandroid caption contests but I could not come up with a lame enough caption to even be considered. So I said F&%$ IT I am going to go out and buy one.
Galaxy Nexus Galore!
Dude seriously they just took a picture of us, now when our boss sees this, we are going to be…….. Oh hey boss what are you doing here……….?
A Christmas story of AndyClause and the Nexus….
Random Person In Line #1: “Why did you bring your kids with you?”
Random Dad with kids: “To see AndyClause of course”
Random Person #1: “What are you talking about? This is a phone launch line. We’re all waiting to buy the new Nexus phone.”
Random Dad with kids: “What do you mean this isn’t the line to see AndyClause? I promised my kids they could get there photos taken with him! Now what do I tell them? All they wanted was to see Andy the Android dressed up as Santa! They were told he was handing out FREE Ice Cream Sandwiches. This is horrible news.”
Random Person in line #2: “Well, hate to disappoint you, but it looks like you’re out of luck. By the way, I don’t think AndyClause is real.”
Random Dad with kids: “WHAT? Say it isnt so? I knew my iPhone friends were joking. I was hoping it was too good to be true. Those jerks. Now they ruined my Christmas too!”
Random Person #1: “Don’t feel too bad, I just found out he isn’t real either.”
Random Person #2: “Oh he is real alright! Notice how we are all here talking about him while waiting to buy the newest and greatest Nexus device. Right before Christmas?”
Random Dad with kids: “Guess this truly is a Holiday for miracles.”
* Cue cheesy Hallmark Moment music*
Yes I know this isn’t a caption. But I was bored and creative!
(Fellow turning to the man behind him) “Aw nuts…we’ve got no coverage here…and Phandroid has a contest on!”
I Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line that there are only 25 phones per store! Verizon is offering a Samsung E300 instead.
(…quietly beatboxing…then suddenly) I SO FLY LIKE A G-NEX, LIKE A G-NEX!…(Starts doing “The Dougie”)
“Is this the Occupy Verizon line? I hope they have more toilets than Wall Street. I totally forgot to pee before I got here.”
“If I get all the way up there and it turns out it was a mistake and they’re actually just selling Galaxy Nexus accessories, I’m going to be really upset! So upset I will write a letter!…..right after I finish this level of Angry Birds”
Guy in red jacket on OG Droid:
“..Yeah. I got in line and was suddenly surrounded by a hundred people dressed in black… Is there an Apple-freindly dress-code in the Verizon stores, now?”
man..why did I drink that second beer after work?
Nexus One owners.
Overheard in line: “if you hold the Nexus right, it causes iPhones in the area to drop calls”
“Man, if I had a Nexus right now I could take an awesome panorama of this line…”
Attention everyone, there was a printing error. the sign should have promoted “frequent updates with this phone”, not frequent dates. Sorry for the confusion.
“Android users UNITE! Together we can end the tyranny of Marshalls! Do not let anyone past.. HOLD THE LINE!”
I hope they activate the phone before I have to pay. I want to use google wallet for this.
This is the line to get a phone? I thought it was the line for Starbucks. Besides, I already have an iphone.
Ugh! Why is the line for the john always so long?!
“Did you see those ladies in the line at Costco for the Galaxy Nexus?”
“This is a biggah sausage fest than Phandroid’s last Christmas pahty!”
Whispering: “You must be dress all black to get the Galaxy Nexus, It’s a shame no one told that man in the red sweater”.
In a line of nerds, someone turns around because they thought they saw a girl jump in the back of the line. However, they will die before they give up their position and do all that they ever do, stare blankly from afar.
Clark Kent is in line for the telephone booth so he can change
“The difference between us and the iPhoners? The phone we’re waiting for isn’t identical to its predecessor, plus I hear it comes with a free dessert.”
“Dude, I just got back in the country from a 45 day spiritual journey in the Rainforest; I literally, just stepped off a plane, saw the email, dropped everything, and ran right here. But I have to be honest, I didn’t expect it to be THIS crazy for the White RAZR. Do you think I can still snag one if I come back tomorrow?”
i heard one of the angry birds is here, hope he doean’t eat all the ice cream sandwiches.
“All these people for the white Droid Razr?”
“Oh…… you mean you aren’t in line for the buy an Oreo colored Razr, get $100 off an abcdefghijk……xyzboard?”
Feel bad for this guy he stepped outta line for the Galaxy Nexus only to come back to his spot been taken by a funeral line to view Steve Jobs,lol
Wow another Samsung commercial being filmed.
“RED ROVER, RED ROVER SEND ANDY RIGHT OVER!!!”
This is the iphone 5 line, right?
Damn it, just noticed someone else had the same idea!
So in light of that, I offer an alternative: If this is a men in black convention, who’s the guy with the red jacket?
so did about 500 other people
dont feel bad.
No reason to wait in line, the next best thing is already here. It was released overseas weeks ago.
Look I can put sim cards in it from any carrier.
I could never have that. I’m on Big Red.
Dude, you went to Western KY U?
“No, really! You can hold this phone any way you’d like.”
“Guess I’m not the only guy here getting one of these for that special woman in his life… Mom is gonna be so happy.”
“This is the line for the Justin Bieber show, right?”
Having A.D.D. wont stop me from getting that new phone. Is this the line for the Galaxy Ne…….. Look Marshall’s is open.
Wow its freezing cold out here guys I hope this Galaxy Nexus with ice cream sandwich doesn’t give me a Brain Freeze!
Men In Black: Nexus
“I will finally have a REAL life now! :D”
In The Rock voice ,”Finally, the Nexus has come to Vvveerrriizzonn. The people’s phone is here.
“Whats black and long?”
iPhone 4S passerby: “are you guys still in line for the new iPhone?”
guy in line: “no, this phone has 4G”
iPhone 4S passerby:”oh, mine does too”
“I hope the packaging is heavy, ’cause after I get my Nexus, I am going to whack the closest Verizon employee over the head with it for making us wait this long for the launch.”
(out of shot) An iPhone User: Wow, why are you guys so excited to wait in line, the new iPhone isn’t due for another few months!Guy facing out of shot: I am Disappoint.
Baa, baa nexus sheep do you have 4.0. yes sir, yes sir the g’nex
is full. One for the master to play some games. One for every geek waiting on
the lane. Baa, baa nexus sheep do you have 4.0. yes sir, yes sir the g’nex is
full.

What is this line for?
And why are you all wearing black?
Verizon just released the Galaxy Nexus, so
we’re all wearing black to pay our respect to the soon late iPhone 4S
“Lets all hope the cops don’t confuse us with the Occupy Movement and we get pepper sprayed and arrested before we get inside.”
“I’ve been here since black Friday, this is ridiculous”
Darn… I knew I should have worn my black jacket…
“Too bad we don’t live in Canada….We wouldn’t be standing here looking like fools”
“There’s already an OTA update for the Galaxy Nexus!”
Contest losers gather outside Phandroid headquarters.
“Finally, we get to know what it feels like to be an iSheep…correction…and iDroid.”
As their direction shows:
Men are from Marshalls,
Woman is from Verizon
“Let’s hope we get in before they run out of the Nexus. This line is about to turn into Occupy Verizon!”
Boy I really hope this Marshalls opens soon, I heard they’re releasing this exclusive shoe called the Galaxy Nexus. Can’t wait to get them and put my new pair of Nexuses on!
Nooo I’m not here for a phone. I thought this line was for the Men in Black 3 fan club.
“Man i hope apple doesnt come and make a commercial about us that makes us look like douchey isheep cause we look nothing like them right? right?…
I’ve been getting in this line every day since November. I had to buy shoes from Marshall’s so I didn’t look like I was one of Verizon’s pawns falling for a fake release date. My girlfriend will be getting 47 pairs of heels for Christmas.
” Can somebody please ask siri how long the wait time on this line is “
don’t get married just find a woman you hate and buy her a hous or an i-phone.
Wait, is this the line for the iPhone 5? WHAT?! It cant be, only iPhones are allowed to have lines around the block.
Person in the back: Hey why is everyone on the line dress in black?
Guy: Didn’t you hear? its the iPhone funeral ;)
Oooooh – shoe sale at Marshall’s!
Despite being told by management, that unlike Apple, there would be an adequate supply, the guy in the back of the line almost caused a riot by calling “dibs” on the first Nexus, apparently not understanding the purpose of a line.
“I heard Steve Jobs helped design this right before he died.”
“Man, you got any spare change”
“Sorry bro I’m all out, man”
“Man, I got this cheese burgers, man”
“I don’t want any cheese burgers”
“Please, man. I got this iphone, man”
“I don’t want any iphone, man”
“Please, man”
“Alright man give me the cheese burger, man”
Is this the line for the new iphone, guess not the poeple are standing up right. not bent over
good one
I waited two months for this phone to come out since samsung and google announced it in Japan. 29 days since it was launched in England, 7 days since it was launched in Canada, and now they want me to wait a couple of more hours in front of their store! PSHH, it’s a small price to pay for an amazing phone. Right?
Now it is Apple’s turn – how many times you go for “The Next Big Thing” get the “The First and Always Smartest Thing”
“The last time I had a raging erection like this was at a WOW convention.”
Motorola execs were extremely disappointed to learn that the crowd was not in line to purchase a Droid Xyboard. “Have we even sold one unit yet?”
Guy: And to think i almost got hit in the knee this morning
“I gotta pee!”
Siri, where did you take me!?
Siri: You ask me if there where people similar to iphone lovers, so there you have it.
Hmmm, I don’t see any hipsters in this line, and they all look like middle-aged men. This must be a Blackberry launch then.
“Is this the line for the toilet?”
RAZR / Rezound Return Day
Picture taken with my new Galaxy Nexus camera. It’s not blurry, the camera is so fast it warps space and time.
Overheard in line – “I wouldn’t have to be here if those fools at Phandroid would recognize the genius of my contest entries!!!”
No photos, please! Great… now I can’t use face unlock.
No cutting; I’m watcing you
“Yeah, I hear the line is so long because people keep trying to pay with Google Wallet.”
Consumers line up outside of a downtown Verizon Wireless retail store hoping to be one of the first to take advantage of the cell phone provider’s announcement from this morning:
“NEW STARBUCKS OPEN INSIDE VERIZON STORE – FREE GRANDE WITH CELL PHONE PURCHASE (oh yeah and we’ve got this new google nexus phone too).
“getting the nexus today and right after it im getting the Steve Jobs book”
Shoot, a person could have a pretty good time in Vegas with one of those!
Is this the churro line?
Some good ones this time around
“OMG OMG OMG OMG! Can’t you believe it?? Marshall’s finally going to let us buy those limited edition designer scarfs for less!”
Overheard in the line for the Galaxy Nexus: “Now wait a second, what do you mean this isn’t the line for the Twilight book signing?!”
A line WTF? I sold my iPhone so I didn’t have to wait in line with the rest of the iSheep.
“-person 1: Ooo look at that fine young lady coming our way!
-the rest of the line: Quit acting gay! She’s a girl! Were here for a phone!”
“What’s the matter with that guy’s ears ?”
“so you read on phandroid that the super galaxy nexus II is coming out in Februrary? It has a quad core processor, NFC chip, barometer, thermometer, moist towlette dispenser, and a built in sarcasm detecter!?”
I wonder… If I go wait in line for Santa will I get a Nexus any faster, or is he back ordered too?
Humanoids succumb to Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich as Galaxy Nexus lands at Big Red
[email protected]
“Wait…what?….You mean I don’t have to wait in line for Phandroid’s Happy Holidroid Contest?! Damn’t! I guess I should actually read the rules for eligibility.”
“Why are you here? I thought you got a new phone last month.” “Had. I broke it last week trying to balance it on top of a stuff for Phandriod.com “
Overheard in line: “Can you hear me yet… this Galaxy Nexus sure is awesome!”
IPhone: hey nexi! Wtf… why you get a line too?
Nexus: whacha gonna do about it? Sue me?
IPhone: you know what… I just might!
Nexus: dude! I was just kidding! :'(
Fyi I’m typing this on my new nexus
“free Galaxy Nexus to the person with the best “Dramatic Chipmunk” impression!”
**Man in line quickly spins around… dramatically**
“You know, it’s too bad it’s so cold out. Everyone is all bundled up and if Chris Chavez were here, I wouldn’t be able to see his fancy V-neck shirt and fabulous hair.”
The Galaxy what? The salesman told me the Razr was the best phone around. He surely knows what he is talking about, he does this for a living. (Funny thing is, a friend of mine told me that exactly)
“sent from my iHomo”
“Is this the line for American Idol Auditions?”
That’s not a red V on their sign…it’s actually how long lines are on product launch days…to the end of this block, around the corner and all the way to the end of that block.
I didint want to post this! Sorry mistake! Please delete!
iDont wait, but for Verizon’s Droid i will :)
And so here I am in line with all these other people who couldn’t figure out the Google Nexus giveaway Twitter puzzles either.
Guy looking back: “Wha- what do you mean ‘the Nexus is a lie’!?”
I heard this phone is amazing and it better be if I’m going to wait in a line like some kind of iPhone user.
I guess there’s some guy in there named “Woz” and he won’t release the hostages until he gets an ice cream sandwich- that’s what I read on Phandroid.com.
Damn beer line always so long
Man 1: “I sure hope they have the high heel pumps in a size 12!”
Mans 2: “Dude this isn’t the line for Marshalls”
everybody practice your table flipping?
good
lets go wait on this line all day and buy our phones
and before we leave………
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
And then the pirate said to the rabbi as they walked into a bar, “Did you hear the story about the guy who waited all day in line for the Galaxy Nexus?”…..and the rabbi said, Nexus?! I thought it was a bar mitzvah!”
“What’s this line for? I heard something about Ice Cream”
“Is this the line for the Galaxy Nexus?”
“Galaxy Nexus? What’s that? This is the line for the white Droid RAZR.”
I guess there’s some guy in there named “Woz” and he won’t release the hostages until he gets an ice cream sandwich- that’s what I read on Phandroid.com.
Overheard in the GN line: “what the hell is a galaxy nexus? I thought this was the line for Riverdance tickets.”
Guy one: “Dude, you’re sure Apple didn’t patent standing in queues for a phone?”
Guy two: “Nah, i’m pretty sure they didn’t.”
Guy one: “Good, I’m fed up with those flippin’ lawsuits!”
“I heard this galaxy nexus version is the best iphone yet!”
“Alls I know is his best be the best damned ice cream sandwich I ever had, with this line!”
Man in line 1 “Ive waited months for this”
Man in line 2 “Me too im so pumped! I hope the LTE is FAST”Lady walks byMan in line 1 “Wait what is that? Apple….”Lady walking by “Yea its the iPhone 4s”Man in line 2 ” That’s so out of date!”Lady walking by “Uh… no, my phone has Siri the most advanced voice application on the most fantastic wonderful magical iPhone”Man in line 1 ” Lady your nuts… Your screen is small, your not in HD, You dont have 4G, where are your widgets?”Lady walking by “Widgets?”Man in line 2 “Pulls out HTC Rezound (clouds flow across the screen and he flips through his mail on his home screen) See!”Lady walking by “If they are not on the iPhone they cant be that cool”She walks away… still in the dark…Man in line 1 “iDorks”Man in line 2 “I know…”
Guy turning around to the guy behind him: “I can’t believe Samsung is actually paying us to stand in line. I thought the dress code was odd & the fact there are no women, but 50 bucks is 50 bucks.”
I wanted an iPhone 5 but then I took an arrow to the knee
Overheard from an iPhone user passing by: “Sure the new Google phone may have a bigger screen, faster processor, facial recognition, expandable memory, and be more versatile, but you cant ask Suri cute questions and get inane responses back”
I promise you, I will never be in a more wonderfully nerdy line!
The Geek Revault of 2011 is here!!! Smash all Iphones and Ipads and Grab all the Galaxy Nexus’ for yourselves. Be fast they may melt and leave you with soggy Graham Cracker. Hurry root it and unlock that bootlaoder too. Wait I see 1 more Iphone…. GRAB IT… And Throw it to ground and stomp it before someone makes a hugh mistake and thinks of buying that junk.
“Wait, iphone 5 line? Sweet i think ill hop right in!” passerby says.
“Naw homie, this is for the Galaxy Nexus….”
“Wait so its not called iphone anymore???”
This line’s moving slower than a 3G iPhone4s!
FINALLY… a reason to wear my android socks
Sign in front of Verizon store reads “Now accepting applications for the “Verizon guy” and we also have the Galaxy Nexus”
“Man, I told you that this was a horrible way to meet girls. It’s a total sausage fest!”
“See, this line is just ANOTHER thing Android has stolen from Apple.”
Guy 1 “They better not be sold out of the iPhone 4s when i get up there i did not wait for 12 hours in this cold just for them to tell me they don’t have any more…”
Guy 2 “Excuse me”
Guy 1 ” yes?”
Guy 2 “Actually this is the line for the galaxy nexus…”
Guy 1 ” What?!?!?!?!
Sorry, but we are out of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. So instead, show that special someone how much you care by getting them our Samsung Continuum FREE! That’s right FREE! with a new 2 year contract, just in time for the holidays!
(man at the back of the line)
“by the time I get in, the Galaxy Nexus will be obsolete! So, I’m waiting for the Bionic 3”
What, no coffee or donuts! Damn you Verizon
Does it come in white?
Looks back at guy taking picture, “I know amazing right… I never thought the corner deli would ever have this long of a line! Hey what do you say for dessert we stop at the Verizon store and ask when the ice cream sandwich phone that everyone’s waiting for comes out?”
“I’ve been in this line for 2 weeks, but it will be totally worth it to get the new iPhone! I’m surprised more of you don’t have the old iPhone, though…”
Someone saw Apple employees pushing an iPhone 4s filled hotdog cart up and down the line trying to sway customers away.
Look there goes an iphone user; GET HIM!
“Guy 1 (Back to camera): So, you’re in line for the iPhone too?
Guy 2 (we see the face): What? This is the iPhone line?!?! You’ve got to be *#$^”
Guy 1: Nah, this is the Galaxy Nexus line.
Guy 2: phew
Guy 1: not really.
Guy 2: Ima get you foo.
After what seemed like a very long time, only 9 days til Christmas and all through the streets people run mad . They finally found the phone that “they” can truly call there’s because only there beautiful faces can unlock it! Yet until that clever ex takes your old dirty picture off her “other” phone and unlocks your phone until to show the rest of the world what lays on the other side. Now the day has come
Dude turned around: “I only hope Siri will forgive me.”
“I saw this line and couldn’t believe the next iphone was coming out already… papa is bringing home the bacon tonight!”
Man1: Ive been in this line for almost three weeks if i dont get anything to eat soon im going to starve.
Man2: Good thing this line is for an ice cream sandwitch
Those Phandroid suckers won’t be laughing when I’m the first in line to get the iPhone

(100 Zeros = Googol ;))
guy on the left says “This is the line for the Marshall’s shoe sale, right?”
Is this the line for the next MIB movie?
“I can’t believe we waited this long to upgrade!!” “I know being on this Bionic was killing me!”
Who new ice cream sandwiches would be so popular in December?
“I’ve been in line for ow-ahs but it’ll be worth it this phone is wicked pissah.”
“I heard they’re going to show off a unicorn here? Or… something along those lines.”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line that people dressed all black will receive a free Ice Cream Sandwich!
Flash mob moved to 12:30. Android Beam and pass it down.
This is the return line for the iPhone 4S right?
Hey man, this is not the BLACK FRIDAY line – lets hurry up and hand those “Ice Cream Sandwich’s” out…..I am starving!!!!
Guy1: Guys, guys! Lets yell to the guy in red: hey tomato did you get lost in a mulberries pie? You know, because we are all dress in black! get it?
Guy2: You have no idea how much i wish you would have gotten hit in the knee this morning…
Dude, check out my Magnum Face… I hope this line doesn’t turn left, otherwise i’m screwed.
Ha, least we aren’t those idiots that wait in line for an iPhone.
Man 1: “I cant wait to pick up my new iPhone 4s”
Man 2: “get the #$@# out of this line”
haha imagine!
Thanks for sharing this moment of gold.
Fred: “Man, I can’t wait! With my Galaxy Nexus, I’m gonna impress the “Gal-I-See Nex-to-Us! Get it?!”
Ted: “That is truly awful. Been working on that a while?”
Fred: “Yeah, the extra week delay really helped me polish it.”
Ted: “You’re my friend, but I think I hate you right now.”
Hey….? What the hell?! Why is Busta Rhymes shopping at Marshalls with a green robot?
Marshall I think I found the nacho line… Yeah I totally found the nacho line.
“Why is everyone in line dressed in black?” “We’re having a funeral for our OG Droids, RIP”
“Hey buddy what time does Marshall”s open? ” ……. “What do you mean this is a Nexus Line? What is a Nexus ? …..Never mind I will Google it when I get home after I buy my socks.”
funny thinking outside the box !
overhead in line: “Hey, where the white women at?”
Hey, if they dont have any Galaxy nexus left by the time we get up to the front you wanna just go to the Marshall’s shoe sale?
Verizon Employee: ‘APRIL FOOLS!’
I’ve overheard that there will be only 50 phones in stock, but since I’m already here in line waiting for hours, I’m gonna go in and play with the display model until either it breaks or I got tired of it as a thank to VW for making me anxiously wait, wait, and still waiting even when it’s finally released.
“An obvious contrast to an iphone release, the people in the Nexus line apparently looks like they have actual jobs, live somewhere other than their parent’s house, are very colorful as long as it’s black, and are all looking around for an attractive female of which they will not find”
Man screams, Yeeeesssssssss!! “This phone is so frigging fast and the screen is so huge……. I wonder how I’m gonna explain to my girlfriend what happened to the rent money?”
“Are there any left bro? Siri couldn’t tell me”
“Why are there no girls in line?”
“So you’re telling me that while we’ve waited in line for the Galaxy Nexus, the Google Nexus BAZINGA has come out? Where the hell is the line for that?!”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line that Siri is also dress in black, because today is the iPhone 4s funeral.
iPhone 4s R.I.P –> 10/14/11 to 12/15/11
May I XY you are here?
WHAT??!!! So this isn’t the right line for the M.I.B convention?
And the wait begins… to wait inside.
So where da white women at?
Please make your selection on the right! Pick up your order on the left! ACH!? IDIOTS! NO NEXUS FOR YOU!
Hey the guy in the Galaxy Nexus S 2 commercial didn’t need to wait in line with the iPhone purchasers! Wait a minute neither do we! we can buy the Galaxy Nexus S 2 online at verizonwireless.com!You guys can stand out here in the cold like idiots if you want, I’m buying mine online.
This line is a sausage fest.
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line – “Will you hold my spot? I heard Marshall’s has a killer deal on women’s clothes… if I spend ALL the Christmas money for myself on this Nexus, my wife will murder me!”
“Is this long line to purchase the new Galaxy Nexus phone at the Verizon store?” asked a passerby. Several men in black turned their heads to face the stranger. One replied, “No, sir, we are all in line to interview at the Verizon store so we can sell the Galaxy Nexus.”
“Seriously? Each Galaxy Nexus comes with ice cream sandwich? Doesn’t really make sense in this kind of weather. They should be giving out free hot chocolate.”
“Why yes, this phone does have a huge screen and 4g speeds…. Did you think this was the iPhone 4S line?”
BREAKING NEWS: VERIZON JUST ANNOUNCED NEW NEXUS PRIME BEING RELEASED NEXT MONTH WITH NEW ANDROID 5.0, JELLY BEAN.
“You have to be kidding me…”
I will not look! I shall hide in anticipation! I will not turn my face to the glory of the Nexus! I am not worthy!
“I actually ordered mine online, I’m just here to punch the first Verizon employee I see in the face for making me wait so long!”
“I need to get my hands on one before VZW realizes that they didn’t want to launch today.” What everyone in line is thinking.
All I want to do is get my blackberry fixed.
“Oh look…turns out they screwed up again. Says here its been delayed. Again.”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line: “I heard they have the white Droid Razer today. Can’t wait!”
“Can you believe Mitt Romney thinks he has better hair?”
Hey, is this the line for free soup
“Yeah, they called me this morning too. Said they decided to push back the launch and I had to return the phone. Then the guy said the Nexus didn’t exist! I just don’t even know what to think anymore.”
Man, I don’t know what is going on… I just saw everyone following the guy in the red jacket, figured they were filming a new Verizon Commercial. Been waiting all day to hear him say… “Can You Hear Me Now?”
I wonder if Verizon will have announced a release date by the time we get inside?
Men in black
Guy_off_camera: GREAT! ‘nother freakin’ delay… will I ever get this damn phone?!?!
Guy_1: Chill, man; at least we can see the end of this delay.
Guy_2: You talkin ’bout the G’Nex, bro?
Guy_2: Jesus, I thought this was the line for the White RAZR… later guys!
Guy_1 and Guy_off_camera : 0_o

“Look at all these unemployed computer scientists”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line:
“We’re all in line, fashionably dressed in black, for what could only possibly be a new iPhone – right? – except for THAT ONE GUY up front in red who CLAIMS this line is for something called a Nalaxy Gexus or something. Hah – Idiot! – Right?”
“Apple sues Nexus fans for standing in line”
“If I buy two and place them in my back pockets, screens facing inward, will it feel like someone I love is gently cupping my buttocks?”
“I could never use an iPhone; I’m creative.”
Heard in Line: “I couldn’t win a Galaxy Tab 7+ on the crazy Phandroid.com Contest, so I will buy one. Or, I’m shaving my head like the midget in front of me.”
“A crowd gathers outside of a Verizon store for what can only be described as the release of a new phone, though no recent rumors of new phone releases have surfaced. The crowd was overheard saying ‘Give me my ice cream sandwiches’ and ‘Majel is coming.’
— Caption Sent from My iPhone”
You mean to say you’ve been waiting in line since the first release announcement? And to think I was so angry every time I was told the release was pushed back!
“I heard it can unlock using your face!”
“Yeah, I heard it has hardware acceleration!”
“I heard it allows you to hangout anywhere!”
“Oh man, I can’t WAIT to buy my own warp drive with facial recognition! With this kind of hardware acceleration, I’ll be able to hangout anywhere in mere seconds! This is AWESOME!”
As soon as they open those doors, I am pulling out my bear mace and getting me a Galaxy Nexus!
Says the guy turned around in line; “Holy cow, Verizon + Galaxy Nexus = male pattern baldness, get me out of here!!!!!”
“So this is what it feels like.”
I’ve been in this line since october waiting for the new iPhone! it better be worth the upgrade
Red Rover, Red Rover, Send Andy Right Over!
“Hi, I’m here for the gang bang.”
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line a Christmas carol song: Nexmas day, Nexmas day, today is Nexmas day! Happy Holidroids to you and yours and handle the Ice Cream sandwiches to us!
“Hey, the Woz just cut in line up there to buy ANOTHER NEXUS!”
Is this the line for beta-testers?
Guy turning around “This Galaxy Nexus better be worth the hype!”
“Moooo!” Hey let me beam that to you!
Beam me up Android !! Look at that proximity interaction. Can’t wait until I get my Galaxy Nexus!

Guy turns around and says “You know that we only line up like this to show iPhone users that we are cool too.” Next Guy in Line says “I thought that this was for something Apple.” and leaves.
Cool Geek Passing Bye:

Guy 2: Well that’s one less person waiting in front of me.
“We’ve been waiting 9 hours already and i really gotta go…. its a good thing i wore my brown pants, aint no way i’m getting out of line”
Did you see that pig!? It was flying! Well, I guess I’ll be getting my Verizon Nexus after all.
This better be a good ice cream sandwich, I’ve been waiting here for hours!

“Well what is it, the iPad 3 or iPad 2S?”
Holy, Galaxy Nexus, Batman! That line is longer than an iPhone line.
I wish I was creative
“The days of making fun of iPhone fans for standing in line
like a bunch of cow waiting to be slaughtered are now gone.”
“The girls will be showing up anytime now… I am sure they are still just pre-partying somewhere else.”
For the first time in recorded history, the amount of people waiting in line for an iPhone is just as long as those returning one.
“I don’t even know why I am in line… are we going to shop at Marshall’s?”
Ha Ha. It is Boston which doesn’t surprise me as it is all dudes.
“Do i see a bouncer with an iPad?”
guy at the bottom thinks: “This isn’t disney world, why the f*** am i in line?”
Guy with head turned: Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Nexus,Galaxy Nexus………..wait is Marshalls really selling Phandroid T-Shirts I’m gonna have to step outta line(to the man behind him”crewcut”)Can you hold my spot?
Psst… yo bro, you wouldn’t get the LTE Verizon Galaxy Nexus today. We are just queuing up to fool you guys for the viral marketing plan. =)
Guy looking back: “I’m looking but I don’t see you….are you sure you’re in line?”
Friend in line: “Yes…Google maps says I’m 0.5 miles away”
I thought this was the line for the mens balding hair club. Embarrassing guess I’ll get a Galaxy Nexus then.
dude 1-“wow i’m getting the iphone 5, never knew it was coming out today”
dude 2- “that because this nexus line”
Guy directly behind this picture, “Baaaaaaaaaa, Baaaaaaaaaaaa”.
Guy who is turned around, “Excuse me sir, you’re in the wrong line….”
Hi folks I’m TV’s Patrick Duffy.
Did the guy in the red jacket miss the memo that this is a black jacket event? Must be in line for an Iphone…
I feel like I am going to be punked and get an iPhone!!
Heard in the line: “Man! Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these iPhone 5s!”
Geez, is that Steve Wozniak at the front of the line again.
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line: “We’re all ready to begin the flash mob, make sure you got 4G dont want the same thing from the At&t comercial happenning here”.
“You know, back in my day, we stood in line for the Nokia 8110! Now THAT was a curved-face phone that I could get behind!”
What’s that? Another Nexus phone has been announced for next year! I give up!
There was a young man in this line
Who said for the very first time,
“I never would wait,
I hate standing in state,
but a Nexus will soon become mine.”
Guy 1:I guess this is what a line for an Iphone must be like……..
Guy 2: Is this for the Iphone 5 ?
Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line:Customer1: What’s the delay?
Customer2: Some guy is trying to pay for his Galaxy Nexus with Google Wallet but Verizon won’t let him. Or maybe it’s a security problem. I’m not really sure.
“How Many Computer Scientists Does It Take To Figure Out A Release Date?”
The day is finally upon us my friends Samsung Galaxy Nexus goes live and I I will finally own this mythical beast phone smothered in dairy delight….but I can’t stop staring at that manikins ass.
It’s like we’re in that Samsung ad, except no iPhone owner is here to taunt us…
“I can’t WAIT to ditch my white headphones for that Galaxy Nexus!”
While anxiously awaiting the purchase of his shiny new White Droid RAZR, Steve reflects on the duties of his day job as a technology leader within Apple. He is really worried about the RAZR selling out, as he did not anticipate such high demand for it. Deep down he wonders if someday he will have the opportunity to be a part of something great, something out of this “Galaxy”. Until that happens though, he will be heading home after this to play his favorite game of all time Star Trek Generations: Beyond the “Nexus”.
While standing in line within the heart of Metropolis, Clark Kent becomes fixated on a Verizon phone booth located to the right of a Marshall’s department store…”If I don the blue tights and red cape now AND fly to the West Coast at supersonic speed, I can be 1st in line for the Galaxy Nexus premier. Lois will be so ecstatic for her Christmas gift. Let’s do this!!!”
“We’ll look so chic with our black coats and a new G-Nex”
“Yeah, except for Waldo up there”
“Buy the Galaxy Nexus? No, this is the line to just see and touch it. The line to buy it starts 3.6 miles the other way.”
Who brought the razr to a gun fight!?!
So can i Face Lock with other Gnex users like they can on the Iphone?
“Is this a funeral for the iPhone?”
“so this is the iphone 4s line, right?”
everyone else: *snickers*
Man 1: “So it took nearly two months for Verizon to get enough freezers for all these ice cream sandwiches huh”
Man 2: “Ice cream sandwich is an OS and on the new Galaxy Nexus”
Man 1: “Oh crap glad i’m in this line because I will be needing a new phone, SIRI I hate you”
SIRI: “I know I would hate me too if I mistook the latest and greatest OS for actual food. Self Destruct mode now. Goodbye…….”
Guy #1: You here for the ice cream sandwiches?
Guy #2: Yeah. Hold my spot, I’m going to get something veri-zon [very zon].
Guy #1: The Galaxy Nexus?
Guy #2: Giggity. I’m going to get [gal i see next us] a case for the goods.
Guy #2 enters Marshalls.
“Wait!!!! This isnt the line for the Men In Black III premier?? Nexus?? What that?”
The guy towards the front of the picture is thinking, ‘I’m in line to buy a galaxy nexus for my “wife”‘….pfff who else would I be buying it for?
Man 1: “Look at these suckers waiting in line at Verizon.”
Man 2: “Let’s just go to the RadioShack next door!”
Overheard in the galaxy nexus line – “wait a minute, wait a minute, doc,
ah are you telling me you built a time machine….. out of a nexus”?
“Winning”
It’s so amazing that Google can already build these Nexus androids. Do you think they’ll have any of the ones that look like Daryl Hannah or Sean Young by the time we get inside, or just the ones that look like Rutger Hauer? These androids better not try to kill everyone like they did in that movie.
Will Facial Recognition Detect Clones?!
“Seriously, I can’t believe Chris Paul was traded, can’t wait for my autograph!”
Due to on going Carrier IQ inquiries, all Boston federal field agents required to carry Galaxy Nexus!
It’s just like the forums… another sausage fest.
what you overhear in the galaxy nexus line:
“wait…….what do you mean this isn’t a day only sale? So i can come back tomorrow?? I’m going home before someone mistakes this for those Samsung commercials”
Sweet! can’t wait to get my Galaxy Nexus! i will be so hip im going to pay the verizon clerk with NFC!………D’OOOOHHH!!!!!
“Everyone! Why don’t you go to the Starbucks down the block while I hold your spot in line, ok?”
“oh u guys are waiting for the nexus…… Wait a minute didnt I see u guys waiting in line for the iphone 4s”
“no”
“really?”
“oh fine u caught us we just like waiting in line we made a good chive too this lines not as uptight as the iphones”
Overheard from the guy looking back, “This is the line for Men in Black 3, right?”
“Hey, I heard that if you hold up a picture of Steve Jobs for the face unlock it explodes!”
“Omigod, that’s awesome. I wonder if we can get in trouble for doing that to the demo units?”
“All of VZ employees have been waiting in line for months…now we know the cause of Verizon’s LTE network failure on December 7, 2011”
Dude I’m not gonna make it, Why is this bathroom line so long! . . . Galaxy what now?
“How long do you think this is going to take. I want my Nexus, but I had beans in the morning and have to poop”
Does Verizon have to approve me as an Android fanboy, or does that distinction just come with standing here?
A fail attempt to move up in the line….
“I heard Chris Chavez is signing Galaxy Nexus’ if you purchase it from the Verizon store in the mall”
Guy in red jacket, talking on the phone: “Hey, Honey, can you drop off my black Michael Jackson jacket? I seem to have grabbed the wrong color today. Andrew Zimmern is standing behind me and told me the bugdroid ice cream sandwich is really messy to eat.”
At least we’re not waiting in line for the same phone that came out earlier this year..
Never gonna give you upNever gonna let you downNever gonna run around and desert youNever gonna make you cryNever gonna say goodbyeNever gonna tell a lie and hurt you
we are to here to buy the iphone killer and see what features apple will steal for the iphone 5
“This IS the BestBuy line for black friday 2012, right? I need a new TV, and I figure if I’m out here Occupying the streets anyways…”
They better have enough Galaxy Nexuses in Big Red, I’ve been waiting for a month here!
Verizon: “To Follow Androidmen, the time is NOW!”
Androidman #1: “This line is impossible. Galaxy Nexus is impossible to get”
Galaxy Nexus: “We exist. We are possible. WE ARE IMPROBABLE”
Marshall Saleman: “This is unbelievable. Darn it, I should have requested a day off today.”
Galaxy Nexus/Verizon: “Should’ve, Would’ve and Could’ve”
Androidman #2: “I can’t wait to use the Android Beam. I can turn my phone into a lightsaber and have a force exchange party with follow androidmen.”
Galaxy Nexus: “May the force be with you all.”
Galaxy Nexus/Verizon: “WHAT ARE WE AIMING FOR??.”
All the Androidmen: “Sugar High!!!!!!”
First guys in line: “When did you get here, an hour ago? Yeah, I’ve been here for a month.”
“Wait, this isn’t the line for Barbie’s Big Adventure?!?!”
Man 1: Are you hungry? I heard from my bestie that the lolly store ahead serves up one of the best icecream sandwich in the world hence the long queue.
Man 2: Mate…I hope you know it is not the end of the world later.
Yo, you sure that this
