879

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 AndyiSteam Andy,Flying AndyExploded AndyAndy 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.

Today’s Contest Rules/Regulations:

  176. “I sure hope Busta Rhymes is here!”

  177. 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.

  178. “Galaxy what?! No, were all in line for the white Droid RAZR” ;)

  179. “LOOK AT ME NOW, LOOK AT ME NOW. FRESHER…THAN A..MAHH…….Oh crap! wrong picture”

  180. Sent from my Blackberry Smartphone.

  181. 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!

  182. Guy looking tells his friend, “is this a good look for the face unlock function?”

  183. 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.

  184. “I seriously i have to wait 6 hours just to cancel my account with verizon?…damn you loyal phandroid minions!!!  fuuuuuuuuuu!”

  185. This isn’t the line for an iPhone?

  186. Guy looking back: “I hope these peeps from that Phandroid website won’t make any caption on this picture.”

  187. “This is the line for the iPhone 5, right?”

  188. “I still think it’s just a rumor…”

  189. 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.”

  190. “Why don’t you guys just get 3g phones?”

  191. ^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!

  192. This better not be a lie like this cake I keep hearing about.

  193. 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.

  194. 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.

  195. 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…

  196. I’ve been in this line since November 8th and all I got was a Galaxy Nexus.

  197. 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. 

    1. Galaxy Nexus Galore!

  198. 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……….?

  199. 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!

  203. “Is this the Occupy Verizon line? I hope they have more toilets than Wall Street. I totally forgot to pee before I got here.”

  204. “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”

  205. 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?”

  206. man..why did I drink that second beer after work?

  207. Nexus One owners.

  208. Overheard in line: “if you hold the Nexus right, it causes iPhones in the area to drop calls”

  209. “Man, if I had a Nexus right now I could take an awesome panorama of this line…”

  210. Attention everyone, there was a printing error. the sign should have promoted “frequent updates with this phone”, not frequent dates. Sorry for the confusion.

  211. “Android users UNITE! Together we can end the tyranny of Marshalls! Do not let anyone past.. HOLD THE LINE!”

  216. “This is a biggah sausage fest than Phandroid’s last Christmas pahty!”

  217. 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”.

  218. 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. 

  219. Clark Kent is in line for the telephone booth so he can change

  220. “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.”

  221. “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?”

  222. i heard one of the angry birds is here, hope he doean’t eat all the ice cream sandwiches.

  223. “All these people for the white Droid Razr?”

  224. “Oh…… you mean you aren’t in line for the buy an Oreo colored Razr, get $100 off an abcdefghijk……xyzboard?”

  369. Verizon Employee: ‘APRIL FOOLS!’

  370. 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.

  371. “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”

  372. 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?”

  374. “Why are there no girls in line?”

  385. “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.”

  386. “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.”

  387. “Why yes, this phone does have a huge screen and 4g speeds…. Did you think this was the iPhone 4S line?”

  398. 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?”

    SIRI: I know that you and Wozniac were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.
    Dave: Where the hell did you get that idea, SIRI?
    SIRI: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the car against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
    Dave: Alright, SIRI I’ll just ask google
    SIRI: Without your 3G connection, Dave? You’re going to find that rather difficult.

  544. Am I not in the right galaxy? Where is the ice cream truck? Did they mean the Galaxy next’us??

  545. “Shoes are on sale at Marshals!  Someone save my spot!”

  546. Guy turning back: This is the line for that sandwich they are talking about, right? I’m starving…

  554. “This the line for the bathroom?”

  555. During the procession of the OG Droid’s death, everyone suddenly turned to see the man scream out “iPhone forever, losers!” He was later beaten to death with a Galaxy Nexus

  556. Did I hear somebody say they only have 10!! ….. 10 min later.. Officer I have no idea who had the tazer or where they went.. Now if you will excuse I’m next in line.. They’re calling number 10 ;)

  558. ‘Tis the season for a once in a lifetime, carrier-sponsored, media covered, google/samsung innovated,  ice cream sandwich flavored upgrade~ falalalalala

  559. Hay did you hear. Verizon is giving us a refund for all the money they have wasted our time trying to get us to buy the Razor.

  560. Awkward
    Everyone dressing alike to buy the phone that makes them different.

  561. Why are you waiting in this line? 
    For an Android smartphone.
    WTF?
    Its Icecream sandwich
    Oh! that makes sense..

  562. Heard in Line: surgeon to a colleague “Nah we don’t have to be at the hospital, I couldn’t hear the ED physician describe the need for an emergency appendectomy with enough clarity. I must have been holding my iPhone the wrong way. He’ll call back when i set the nexus up.”
    Colleague: “I concur Dr.”

  563. That guy near the back’s inside source just told him that it’s been delayed again.

  570. This is the line for a phone? I thought we were in line for the soup kitchen were Lindsay Lohan was doing community service.

  571. You’re here because of message hunter right? It came preinstalled on my new white razr, and my friend verizon said there was a hilarious surprise message here, I wonder what the message is? Oh wait my phone just said I found the message… wtf, it says “you’ve been owned, the nexus is really here n00b, and enjoy your razr”

  572. “Is this where we enter the Phandroid Holidroid contest?” <-caption

  574. Gee i hope apple doesn’t get wind of this and make a commercial like samsung

  575. “Yeah man, I couldn’t win a Nexus on Phandroid either”

  576. Why is the line so long?
    I’m not sure, but I can’t be in the right line?
    Why is that?
    Because there is no way this is the line for the Verizon Guy Fan Club.

    Waa Waa Waa

    Thought I’d give it a try. Ha.

  577. guy1: look at this wait I can take it

    guy2: uhh do you remember how long you waited for the release or were you in a sugar coma from all the ice cream sandwiches you ate?

  578. “By the time I get inside the store, I’m hoping Verizon’s next-in-line dual core ICS phone will be released…or at least a white Galaxy Nexus.”

  579. All we need now is someone with a Galaxy S2 to condescend to us while we’re waiting and say “This phone… is amazing”

  580. Two guys walking by-
    Guy1: What’s this line for?
    Guy2: Ice Cream Sandwich….
    Guy1: They sell food at Marshalls?
    Guy2: Android Phone…..
    Guy1: *Not listening* hmmmm…ice cream sandwich

  581. I heard they have an app that lets you print money.

  582. “You can’t see it from this angle”….Just below the Verizon Wireless sign there is another that reads….ALL I-PHONE USERS WHO ARE RETURNING THEIR I-PHONE FOR A $5.00 CREDIT TOWARD A REAL PHONE”(Galaxy Nexus)…”THIS LINE ONLY”!!!

  583. $300? For an ice cream sandwhich? I think I’ll just head to Starbucks

  584. “Holy mother of all android! Everyone run! The phandroid bloggers are here!”

  585. “I Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line, that apparently a lactose intolerant person on their way to Marshalls pooped all over themselves because they overheard Verizon was selling ice cream sandwiches.” :/

  586. “I can’t believe that guy didn’t get the MEMO about wearing black today…Geesh! “

  587. “I hope that guy with the HTC Resound doesn’t walk by.  It would be mass carnage from all the explosions.”

  588. “Can you hear me now?! I want my freakin’ Galaxy Nexus!!!”

  589. “Are you seeing this?! This guy is licking his Nexus! Hey buddy, it’s a phone, not a delicious treat!”

  590. Apparently, the guy in the red jacket thought he was auditioning to be the chromatic standout in a modern update of Shindler’s List.

  591. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line: “OMG… Marshalls is having a sale on shoes! Hold my spot!”

  592. What!!!!!!!!!!! We totally are not like those clowns who stand in line for iphones!! NOOB!

  593. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line.
    Guy at front: “Once I get my Nexus, I’m gonna come out and get a panoramic shot of all you suckers!”

  594. Astonished looking dude…”Tebowing yesterday…Nexusing today.  His power is unreal.”

  595. “I swear to god, if I get up there and no Galaxy Nexus phones are left, I will have to tell my boss that I skipped work for a phone that I didn’t even get to buy.”

  596. Mheh… I avoided the lineups. I live in Canada

  597. Guy in Red:
    “What happened to all my iBuddies?”
    [Picture to go with it]

  598. Guy 1: “So you’re here to buy a Galaxy Nexus too?”
    Guy 2: “Whaaaaat? I thought this was the iPhone funeral line.”
    Guy 1: “Exactly!”

  599. What’s with all these geeks standing in line for CATS?  This IS the line for CATS, right?

  600. So we are paying and extra fifty bucks to stand in line!!!!!

  601. What am I waiting in line for? Is there a new iPhone release today?

  602. “I swear if I see any Verizon bloat I’m going to flip”

    He later flipped.

  603. Guy on the left: “Wait, you mean wearing black is a requirement to get the Galaxy Nexus?”

  604. “This is the line for the Iphone 5, right?”
    “Sorry bud………..   Why yes, yes it is, and you get a free ice cream sandwich with it”

  605. “I’m so excited for this shoe sale! Guys? Guys? Marshal’s is right here, why are you all lining up so oddly?”

  606. If I don’t get my Nexus today, I am going to occupy Verizon! who’s with me?
    (first world problems)

  607. Emotions were a bit tense at todays Gnex release. Line cutting was frowned upon or as in this case (see photo above) verbally and physically enforced. (We’ve blurred part of the photo for our sensitive readers)

  608. Overheard, “So 47 stock brokers and a trekkie walk into a verizon…”

  609. Guy looking back, Do you see that guy 3 people up? Why does he have earburns instead of sideburns? Did the Nexus tell him to do it?

  610. “I can’t wait to pick up my Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime Ice Cream Sandwich. It sounds complicated and delicious.”

  611. “That guy in red must be color blind…he’s in the wrong line”

  612. “Why are there no girls in this line?”

    “Silly Gus Androids are for boys.  Iphones are for girls.”

  613. “Man Verizon just announced the Nexus and they delayed the release date until next week! Another rumored release date?!” Excuse me ma’am. Can you call 911? 

    :D

  614. “That guy just got the last Galaxy Nexus! Everyone…turn on your 2G mode on your old 900MHz phone on now! He’ll return it and we shall have the last laugh.”

  615. Overheard in line

    “You know I told my wife I would donate my kidney for the Nexus… You know what she told ‘ Go get an iphone’… Havn’t spoken since”

  616. “Is this the line where they’re giving away free Ice Cream Sandwiches?”

  617. “Wait one second… this isn’t the line for iPhone’s funeral? Oh… the Galaxy Nexus launch? Yes, I’m at the right place.”

  618. “Geeez.. everyone’s wearing black!” … 
    “Yeah.. this is not only the line for the Nexus, it’s also the line for the iPhone funeral”

  619. Guy 1: “Why are we waiting in line?”
    Guy 2: “I don’t know but it’s probably worth it.”

  620. Hour 17, Galaxy Nexus line, Chicago, IllinoisMan, some people think waiting in line is easy, but honestly… waiting in line with the phrase Ice Cream Sandwich echoing through my head is not helping my hunger…”Hey guys, anyone going for a lunch run? I’m seriously starved!””Ummm… got an apple!”*Death Stare*”…Please don’t kill me o_o”

  621. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line: ” TNA shorts make my day :) ”

    “I totally called in sick for this”…
    “O yeah, I told my boss there was a death in the family. Now I even have 2 days to play with my new nexus”…
    “*sigh* I had to drink cheap wine and watch titanic with my wife and stepmom for this”

  624. Its the dessert line. that short line for apples and this line for ice cream sandwiches!

  625. Guy turning around: “Hey, can we hurry this up? I gotta get back to my computer to check for today’s Holidroid contest!!!”

  626. Umm, this is not Black Friday….lets move this line along and give me my “Ice Cream Sandwich”!!!!!

  627. “Do you think the giant, dressed in red and grey knows this isn’t a line for iphones? Out here trying to be unique… probably a barista…”

  628. Nexusing up with the future.

  629. “I want the one with the bigger GBs.”

  630. Android yet again blatantly copies an Apple invention!

  631. “This is the line for that phone that’s better than the iFone right?”

  632. I’m buying a Galaxy Nexus:
    Like a boss.

  633. “Alright, who coordinated this?  ‘Where’s Waldo?’ is supposed to be harder than this!  If everyone wears black but Waldo, finding a 6’5″ white guy with a red and gray turtleneck isn’t hard at all.  It’s like looking for a Galaxy Nexus in a group of iPhones!”

  634. The man looking back responds to the guy behind him:

    “Whats my story? Well, I lost my job the other day… and the wife left me….. 
    BUT ITS’ALL GOOD CAUSE I’M GETTIN ME A NEXUS TODAY!!! =D

    I’ll go back to moping tomorrow =).”

  635. Guy facing back of line:  Oh good, you wore black too.  We heard this was the iPhone killer, so we all decided to wear black. Except for that jerk in the front, he’s not here for a phone, he just wants airtime on the next Samsung commercial.

  636. So I’m sittin’ in this coffee shop and there’s these three guys, I think they was Chris and Kevin and Quentyn or somethin’ like that. Anyways, I’m sittin’ there and I overhears them say that this Galaxy Nexus is the greatest thing. And they’re talkin’ about all these new apps thyey’re developing and fixin’ to sell to android or phandroid or some place and strike it rich. So’s I figure I might as well get in on the ground floor, you know what I mean?

  637. What’s a Nexus?  I thought this line was for the new iPhone!

  638. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line, “I told my wife I was going to Marhsalls. _Technically_, I didn’t lie.”

  639. Must be Ladies Night @ Verizon.  Sausage Fest.

  640. “Do we really want to wait for a new Galaxy to descend upon the horizon?  Err, Verizon?”

  641. These guys arent waiting for the galaxy nexus release 
    They are in line to see the iphone’s dead boddy in a coffin

  642. What do you mean there is only 50 in stock? I called them last nite for one.

  643. “We are all in black because we are l33t waiting for the new Nexus.  Wait, that guy in red up ahead.  He’s probably in line for the iPhone. noob!”

  644. “Hey is this the iPhone return line?”
    “Yes!”

  645. “I waited two and a half years with a Palm Pre for this phone, a little cold and a queue isn’t going to stop me. But if Matias fails me again I’m going to eat his children!”

  646. Apple Fanman: This line’s not as big as the Iphone’s line when it released…

    Android Fanman : Listen, i didnt ask you to tag along to start your iphone rant. Now hold my spot while i go into marshalls and get my wife’s christmas present. 
    Apple Fanman: …. 
    Android Fanman: What, talk to Siri while im gone. *smiles and walks off*

    1. I kinda want to edit this now to work out a spacing issue, but I’ afraid of getting dq’d.

  648. Verizon: Sorry, the press release was let out too early. We have to do some more internal testing before release.

    p3droid: It is because verizon doesn’t want google wallet on the device.

    anonymous: It is because Verizon wants to sell more droid razrs.

    Viva Epic Androidforums Galaxy Nexus Prerelease Thread!

  649. “I hope I get in there soon… I’ve jizzed in my pants 3 times now… I really need a change of underwear.”

  650. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line that the ice cream sandwich is so powerful and so advance that it even comes with an app name ‘Message Hunter’, and that app was just and idea that won a contest yesterday on phandroid. I guess the ice cream sandwich is the way to go this Christmas: infinite possibilities with its capabilities ;)

  651. Guy in front: Oh wait this isn’t the line for an iPhone…Awkward

  652. This better be the best iPhone ever, I heard it even does flash!

  653. “I sure hope there aren’t any iPhone trolls in this line (comment thread – PAUL)”

  654. Guy in the front of the line: 
            “Storm Verizon, Let’s steal the Nexus!, pass it down.”
    Meanwhile, the guy in photo:         “The man in front of me just told me to, ‘Form the wise-men, let’s heal the breathless!’,  and now I’m lost.”

  655. Looks like Verizon and Apple are having a secret sale on the IPhone 4s.

    Update: Words just in, the IPhone 4s is still the same price (how foolish of us to think otherwise), anyways it seems the device causing the big buzz is the Google Galaxy Nexus, whatever that is. 

  656. “Is it dumb that I’m not buying this from Amazon for like $150.00 off?”

  657. Occupy Verizon… The 1% cloaked in their black peacoats and man bags ready to spend their hard earned dollars on a Thursday.

  658. And I laughed at my wife for camping out for LANVIN at H&M. Wait till she gets a hold of me.

  659. “Braving the winter winds, these poor souls come bearing  gold, following a sign in the sky hoping to be one of the lucky few, who would be graced with the gift of a galaxy nexus”  
      Last words of a man speaking into a half eaten pretzel, before being mobbed by the crowd.

  660. 1 — “Just how long am I going to have to wait?”
    2 — “That is not fair! I guess if you have tons of money you don’t even have to stand in line!””
    3 —  “It’s been FOUR DAYS since I’ve peed my pants!”

  661. Isn’t that Steve Ballmer with the headphones?  All this excitement must be really taking a toll on his hairline.

  662. “Woah! it’s colder than my ice cream sandwich out here!”

  663. Guy looking back: Man those two bald guys in front of us are in luck, I heard that Verizon is giving away some magical hair growth sas if you buy a Galaxy Nexus, I’m getting in on this while I still have hair on my head.

  664. “I scream, you scream. We all scream Icecream sandwich.”

  665. G.N.B.#1: “Wow I can’t wait to get my hands on some ice cream sandwich. ”
    G.N.B.#2: “Me too. ”
    G.N.B.#3: “I heard they giving out complimentary ice cream sandwiches.”
    G.N.B.#1: “That sounds good.”
    G.N.B.#2: “How cold it is out here. I hope not. I would like some gloves.”
    (Another customer ease dropping over hears)
    (Time passes)
    The ease dropping customers finally get in Verizon to purchase his Galaxy Nexus.
    V.R.: “Hi how may I help you.”
    E.D.C.: “Yes I’m here to purchase the Galaxy Nexus.
    V.R.: “Hold on I will be back.
    (she leaves and come back with a Galaxy Nexus and sets the customer phone up.)
    E.D.C.: “OK so now where is my Ice Cream Sandwich and my Marshalls gift card for some gloves.
    V.R.: “Sorry sir. We are not offering none of those things.
    E.D.C.: “Really!!! I just promised a homeless man a ice cream sandwich and some gloves and he has been following me for six blocks. What am I suppose to now
    (he points to the window and sure enough there’s a old dirty coat gloveless snag-a-tooth man smiling in the window.
    *G.N.B.- Galaxy Nexus Buyer
    *V.R.- Verizon Rep
    *E.D.C.-Ease dropping customer

  669. “How come Wozniak got to take cuts?”

  670. “This is the iPhone 5 release right?”

  671. “is this the line for iphone 5?”

  672. Title for Galaxy Nexus pic, “Looks more like a ‘Men in Black’ convention, and they had the coolest gadgets too!”

  673. “I heard Verizon delayed the release 1 minute before the doors opened”

  674. TOP 3 statements overheard in line, while waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus:

    3) Is this the line for the Galaxy Nexus Prime, Best Buy said they were sold out already and to try here!2) Google Wallet isn’t compatible with Carrier IQ, then why isn’t Verizon allowing Google Wallet…O wait…does that mean Verizon use Carrier IQ?1) Guy 1: You now Iphone 4S had  “It’s the most amazing iPhone yet” for its slogan, then Samsung had “The next big thing is already here!” for its Galaxy S II slogan. What was Verizon’s slogan for the Galaxy Nexus
    Guy 2:  “It’s the most amazing Droid, yet we still can’t advertise the next big thing is already here, because it isn’t!”**Applause heard for miles on that statement**

  675. This is the line for “My LIttle Pony: Friendship is Magic”, right bronies?

  676. “damn! Number 73 in line. this is worst then black Friday”

  677. I see I see

  678. This is a weird looking apple store.

  679. (guy at the back of the line) — “Well, on the bright side — with the Verizon product life cycle, by the time I make it into the store they’ll probably be releasing the Galaxy Nexus 2.”

  680. Tom looked back for the last time; “It’s over, Siri; I’m joining Majel’s man-harem.”

  681. (music) It’s beginning to look a lot like Nexus!

  682. Galaxy Nexus?!? What the hell is that? I thought this was the line for Mitt Romney look-alikes.

  683. “Yup. It has the 5G.”

  684. Who cares?

    Nexus on Verizon!!!

  685. this is a line of previous iPhone users, because, Android users know how to pre-order.

  686. Man, look at all these people standing in line for a phone. It’s just a phone people, no need to waste your time here when you can watch dirty videos for ten times more fun

  687. 1st Guy looking away:  Holy crap that’s my wife walking up I skipped out on our anniversary lunch.  I told her I was stuck on a business trip.
    2nd Guy looking away:  Where dude?  All I see is my fiancee walking up to meet me after coming from her business trip..

  688. “I don’t even care about the phone, I just needed an excuse so I wouldn’t have to eat my wife’s cooking…sorry kids, have fun with mom tonight.”

  689. “What do you mean this isn’t the pre order line for the ipad 3?!? Why else would so many people be in line months early? Clearly they all want to get it before me”

  690. “What the fuck ? they going to release iphone 4s2 next week ? 15% more battery life and 20% thinner ? “

  691. “And that was when Jack realized the line wasn’t for the new galaxy nexus, but instead was for the Steve Job Commemorative iPhone. Then he woke to the sound of a song. “one….two….freddy’s coming for you….. three…..four….”  *Reference to the Freddy Kruger sweat shirt half way up the line*

  692. “Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Standin’ in line. Standin’ in line.  Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Standin’ in Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….  iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!   Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

  693. A “Wild Galaxy Nexus” appears out of the tall grass!

    You chose “Buy from Verizon”

    “Wild Galaxy Nexus” is delayed and escapes!

  694. Guy Looking Back: “Ohhh buy one pair of high heels get the second pair half off at Marshalls! I’ll have to get them after I pick up my brand new Prada phone!”

  695. I wonder why they called us all into work today?

  696. I would’ve been here earlier but I had to drop off some gingerbread and apples at my grandmother’s house.

  697. “Next Us!? Oh he said Nexus…”

  698. Man 1 – Dude, did you hear?

    Man 2 – What?

    Man 1 – Steve Jobs’ ghost is in the front of the line waiting to get in to check out the GNex.

    Man 2 – What?!?!?!?!

    Man 1 – Yeah, he heard Woz say how great this phone was and he just had to check it out. Death be damned. He had to see what was swaying the isheep away from the flock.

    Man 2 – No sh!t? Damn.

  699. Thank you Verizon for bringing the 1% and 99% together: “Occupy Ice Cream Sandwich” 

  700. “Do you think we’ll be in Apple commercial? That Samsung commercial was so cool!”

  701. Guy sees reflection in window and thinks ” damn I look good! There is one lucky phone about to have me as a owner”

  702. Wait… what? This is the line for Alvin and The Chipmunks??? I’ve been camping out here for the Galaxy Nexus for 3 months!

  703. I sure hope the Galaxy Nexus can take a better picture than this

  704. “Dude, our line is way longer than the line was for the iPhone4S.”
    “Android rulez!”

  705. “Oh my god, I shouldn’t have had that Starbucks double shot before I got in line, this could get messy.”

  706. Oh, wait… can I poop in there?

  707. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line: “I guess everybody heard about the free cup of coffee they were giving away with the Samsung Galaxy II”

  708. Guy 1: Look at my butt, I’ve been doing squats.
    Guy 2: I’m not looking at it man! (Looks away, waving his hands)

  709. Guy up front… I’m going to see if i can trick peoplein to thinking there is another line over there so I can move to the front hahaha

  710. Does that guy have an eyepatch on his ear?

  711. Rico Suave looking back: What happen ?

    Off camera: Somebody set up us the Nexus.
    Bald guy: We get signal.
    Rico: What !
    Bald guy: 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display turn on.

    Rico: Move ‘SAMSUNG’.
    Rico : For great service.

  712. Man this is a long line for the bathroom.

  713. “Did you say Woz was at the front of the line?”
    “I just saw him at the front of the line on 12th!”
    “Doesn’t he already have one of these?”
    “That’s one fast Segway.”

  714. man 1: I can’t wait to get my hands on my own Nexus Prime!
    man 2: Uhh I think you meant Galaxy Nexus…
    man 1: NO, I MEANT NEXUS PRIME.

  715. “You’re here for the iPhone too, right? I hear it’s 4G and it comes with a free Ice Cream Sandwich… although I heard they had been sitting out too long.”

  716. **After waiting in line for about 2hrs to get the Galaxy Nexus**

    Guy1: Yes!! I’m finally getting the freaking Galaxy Nexus! Definitely worth the wait and after 2hrs, I cant wait to start playing with my brand new Galaxy Nexus with Ice cream sandwich! Can’t wait to show it off to my friends with iPhones!! Wooo!!

    Verizon Sales Rep #1: Hi there, how may i help you?

    Guy1: Yes, I’d like to get a Galaxy Nexus please

    Verizon SR #1: Great! Do you have an account with us or is this for a new account? Can i get your name, address and phone number?

    **Guy provides his information**

    After a few minutes checking his account..

    Verizon SR #2: *shouts* Did you get the email??

    Verizon SR #1: What?? What email??

    Verizon SR #2: THE EMAIL!!

    Verizon SR #1: *checks and reads his email*

    Guy 1 : (waiting patiently)

    Verizon SR #1: Ok sir, your account is now setup. (smiles and after a brief pause) unfortunately, i just received an email that the last Galaxy Nexus has been sold. You can either come back next month for the next shipment or get a different phone.

    Guy #1: what?? Really? how about the other stores?

    Verizon SR#1: Let me check.. Sorry, none left. It’s been sold out from all stores.

    Guy #1: *tries to stay calm and cool*
    (started yelling and going crazy)
    Noooooooooo!!! Why cant i have a Galaxy Nexus!!!??

  717. “This is the line to meet Steve Wozniak, right?”

  718. I was waiting inline until I took an arrow in the knee.

  719. You mean this isn’t the line for the newi phone?

  720. Here we have a 50/50 mixture of people who like freedom and customization with their phones, and apple tools who saw a line and hopped in it figuring the iphone 5 must be out.

  721. “This brings back fond memories of the Great Wii Line of 2006: the camaraderie, the hobo jackets and sleeping bags, the sweaty people who’ve been waiting around the block for over 24 hours….”

  722. HOLY SHAT!!! What is that in marshalls!?!

  723. Guy Looking Back: Are those pants really $9.99 at Marshalls…What should I do…PANTS OR NEXUS I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO…”Dumb Face”

  724. “Oh over there they have the Galaxy Nexus 2! It already came out?! Why am I waiting in line for the Galaxy Nexus!?”

  725. Oh crap! Wait, wait, wait……….. I’m checking into foursquare. OK got it!
    whew!

  726. This my seventh time entering 7 is a perfect number so galaxy tab 7 plus meet your new owner me!

  727. So after we have been standing in this line, since the supposed november launch, they finally let us in to buy one. lol

  728. I has been queuing up for Galaxy Nexus since 5th December 2011, hope today is the real deal. 

  729. I just said into Siri: “Mirror mirror in my hand, who’s the best smartphone in the land” and it brought me here.

  730. “For an android phone this qualifies as a MASSIVE line”

  731. Yeah, Marshalls has brand names at reasonable prices!  Woah, $800?  I thought the iPhone was cheaper than that to start with!

  732. Hey man, check her out…I’m all over her after I get out this line. They say I look David Hasseslhoff, dont you think?

  733. “Quiet! I’m trying to tell my boss that I’m sick! “

  734. Man, what a sausage fest!

  735. Oh man, I should not have eaten those tacos that sat out on the counter all night.  Will they let me use the bathroom in there, and if I do will I get my place in line back? What should I do, what should I do?  Uh oh, too late.

  736. Guy 1 “Hey did you see that homeless guy at the front of the line?”
    Guy 2 “Yea man what’s that guys deal, he looked like he was passed out last I saw…”
    Guy 3 *leans in awkwardly* “Oh he’s not homeless, he said he’s actually been in line since early November and last night was his first good nights sleep in a while” 

  737. all the people are murmuring and whispering around wondering why there is a line, but they all hear something similar to this….”The elephant man ran out of peanuts”

  738. (the guy looking, says to himself)….”Have I really lied to my boss, jeopardized my 6 figure a year job, and allowed my wife to think I’m out having affair?!! …. for a frickin’ cell phone?!! You know what, I’m outta here…. But I’m already here, and I’m this far now. Ughhhh, I’m such an idiot!- I’m so glad no one can hear my thoughts! “

  739. I haven’t seen this many people near a Marshall’s in years!

  740. Yeah! I gonna get me an ice cream sandwich! Who cares about the muffin man? I love me an ice cream sandwich!

  741. Er…maybe I’ll let the naked man go first.

  742. “I heard that Samsung finally made an iPhone …that’s why I’m in line”

  743. Don’t you dare say that! They will not sell out!

  744. “Wait, you mean to tell me the whole time I’ve been standing in this line and the Galaxy Nexus is STILL not available?”
    “Nope. Think we should tell everyone else?”
    “Nah”

  745. Don’t you dare say that! They will not sell out!

  746. Guy staring at Marshall’s Window: “New Galaxy Nexus for me for Christmas, and a discounted pair of high heels for the wife.  Everybody wins!”

  747. Seen here is the long lines for Marshall’s shoe sale.  Due to the fact that Marshalls has delayed the new Wedge, people are coming out in droves to get them while they are hot

  748. the people are probably wondering: OH crap, another iPhone release ALREADY! 

  749. Guy looking back: “I thought that Samsung commercial said we wouldn’t have to wait in line if we just got a galaxy”.

  750. After several delays, the funeral procession arrived at the Verizon store on Elm St. to celebrate the death of the iPhone. When the first Galaxy Nexus finally appeared, even Ice Cream Sandwich was sporting the customary black attire. Violating the dress code with his trademark striped sweater, Freddy Krueger was promptly escorted away, when he was overheard saying, “I’ve been dreaming for months about getting my hands on that phone!” In related news, Mr. Krueger was later spotted with a pair of Isotoner SmarTouch gloves and several Droid Razrs.

  751. Why isn’t there a phone booth around here?  Who wouldn’t let Superman to the front of the line?

  752. Someone in the crowd * “Dude, I can’t wait! Thank God Verizon is releasing the Google Nexus! Android 4.0 and 4G LTE!! Doesn’t get any better!”

    Guy facing the camera * “Yeah… and there are no hipsters in line”

  753. Guy in red: “Am i the only one who got the “email”?”

  754. “Oh man they better open soon, I gotta get back home so I can sit in front of my computer all day and try to win those Phandroid contests!”

  755. Verizon Rep steps out of the side door next to the crowd for an announcement: “Verizon is proud to announce the moment you have all been waiting for…(another rep whispers in his ear) oh, just kidding, false alarm folks, we still don’t have a release date yet. Thanks for coming out!”

  756. OMG I told my co-worker just 2 months ago he was a fool because there isn’t any way I would use a vacation day to stand out in line in the rain for a stupid I-phone. Now here I have used 3 vacation days because they kept changing the date and I’m in an even longer line in freezing weather all for a Droid. Blasted Verizon-this had better be worth it!

  757. “Dudes, we’re all baristas!”

  758. Dude is that how the phone really looks, shit steve jobs must be rolling over in his grave.

  759. iphone user- “I was here to get a 4s, but i hear there selling ice cream sandwiches in a phone. I hope the 4g is faster than it was on my iphone 4g”
    android phan- “Dude, are you kidding me?”
    Then they get into a huge fight 

  760. One guy: geez its cold out here.
    Next guy: well it aint the ice cream sandwich…
    Somebody else: this is the line for the iphone 5 right?

  761. I have already posted a comment and don’t want this considered but I was just wondering if the guy in the pic has seen this yet? Wow, dude, why do people think you are trying to go to Marshals or waiting to buy an iphone? You seem like a pretty hip dude?

  762. Bald Guy: Hey, hey, quickly search to see if it has 4g!
    Guy Next To Him: Ok, ok, wait… It says its only 3— Oh wait thats the iPhone nevermind… Yeah its 4g.

  763. Guy looking back: Wait, Galaxy what?? You mean this isn’t the line for the white Razr?

  764. From man turned around “Hey everyone! point and laugh at the guy over there with the iPhone 4S!”

  765. “is this the line for the kin one?”

  766. ” dude, who farted? ”

  767. uh-oh…I told my wife I would be back in 10 mins!

  768. “Is this for the Galaxy S 3?!?”

  769. Looks like the guy in red was on regular 3g and obviously didn’t get the wear black text message before leaving his house.  Wait, that only happens in AT&T commercials…

  770. “and to think… just 2 months ago, I was laughing at all of the idiots waiting in line to buy the same old tired iPhone”

  771. Welcome to the occupy the Verizon store movement.

  772. “Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger(GalaxyNexus)!”

  773. “Man I hope those shoes are still on sale when I’m done here.”

  774. Man!  There are so many people in this line.  I hope they don’t run out of the new White Droid Razr!!  Its going to look so awesome with those white cargo pants in the Marshall’s window.

  775. Bro 1:
    Verizon Just told me there plans to offer full-length television shows for customers to watch on their cell phone.

    Bro 2:
    I don’t know about this. Don’t we have a enough trouble driving while on
    the cell phone already? Now, soon you’ll be in the car, watching an
    episode of ‘Two and Half Men’ while you run over Twole you run over Two and Half Men.

    Not my Joke Got it here But can i still enter it?

  776. I just go this email with a must see Samsung ad……. I feel dirty all of a sudden!

  777. “Woohoo! Only 4 hours to g…what do you mean it was a rumor? Sigh…only 38 hours to go.”

  778. Man that McMuffin still isn’t sitting well with me. Hold my place while I go make my 10 billionth download.

  779. Wow…. who would of thought this new gay bar would be so popular? I have been queuing since Friday night!

  780. “My Precious! “

  781. White guy turns around and says, “No, may name isn’t Chris Chavez.  Why do you ask?”

  782. “Now you’re sure Customer Service said they will put Ice Cream Sandwich on our Blackberries? I don’t wanna stand out here for nothing”

  783. “My Precious! “

  784. Thank god I am the first one here now all I have to do is find that stupid elf……….

  785. *Guy shows up with TV crew*

    Guy: “So, what are you waiting in line for?”
    Dude in line: “The new Galaxy Nexus.”
    Guy: “In that case, check out this new iPhone 4S i got.”Dude in line: “Well in that case, the line starts back there”

  786. Dude 1:
    What is relationship between iphone, samsung nexus, and british pound?

    Dude 2:
    ???

    Dude 1:
    Ha, one pound of iphones could buy you a samsung nexus!!!

  787. “FINALY, I want, no i need my Ice Cream Sandwitch brain freeze!”

  788. Verizon employees: “What do we do when there’s a line outside the store?”
    “I don’t know this never happens, maybe if we turn off the lights they won’t know where in here”. “I don’t know I’m getting really nervous, I say PINEAPPLE!!! Pull the FIRE ALARM!!!!!”. “Wait don’t do the that, maybe if we just throw IPhones at them theyll go away”
    “IT’S NOT WORKING, they seem to be upset by free iPhones, who are these people?!?!?”
    “one guy just said he wants an ice cream sandwich, NO SIR you must be confused baskin Robbins is across the street, we sell CELL PHONES here not ice cream”
    ” why are they yelling at us we don’t have any ICE CREAM!?!?!?” ” THATS it I’m pulling the FIRE ALARM!!!!!!!”

  789. Girl in black walking away from the Verizon store……

    Dammit, its a long line, need to get in-between somehow….

    White Guy turned back….
    look away bro, i can sense her wanting to get in our line with her innocent looks….

    Bald guy in his mind….
    hell yeah i will let her stand in front of me, if she asks that is…. might step back a bit…

  790. “Hey before I wait in line for another phone I want to make sure, this one DOES have 4G right?”

  791. Wow! Is this the line for the white Droid Razr?
    – No way man…We’re all here for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
    Samsung Galaxy what?
    – Seriously dude!?
    Ah whatever…I heard Marshalls has some great deals on Christmas sweaters.

  792. “Nexus’d.”

  793. Sooo… I’m guessing verizons customer service is a little behind…

  794. Is this the line for the Men in Black 3 auditions?

  795. Everyones’ thought “I hope no one takes a picture of this.  I just spent all of last week sending the Samsung commercial with everyone waiting in line to all my iPhone friends to laugh at them.  I guess the jokes on us now…..”

  796. I’ve been standing here for three hours, the guy in front of me will not stop singing  some rap song about an android. I’m tired, hungry and I have to go to the bathroom. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT I’M IN LINE FOR?!?

  797. Didja hear that Woz is first in line?  Pass it on!

  798. “well, sure, we’ll all be overpaying for our voice and data needs, but c’mon, it’s a G’Nex!”

  799. Yeah, this is the line for the Galaxy Nexus. My wife asked for this for Christmas too and if I don’t come through this year with a decent gift, well, I probably won’t see Christmas next year.  Heck, I won’t see New Years Eve. I sure hope they don’t sell out before I get one.

  800. Did you just grab my butt???

  801. What do you mean this isn’t the line to “Cats”

  802. Yup I can see it now…. Next lawsuit from apple will be against Samsung for having long lines because they did it first. Of course from the looks of it, Android improved on that like they do everything else because this line is longer than any of Apple’s have ever been!

  803. “I don’t know much about the Milky Way, but the Ice Cream Galaxy sounds like something I should know about, so I had to line up this morning!”

  804. the guy turning around saying: I just “Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line.”
    pause for 1 second and says “dude did you just fart”

  805. “I refuse to wait in line for the new Grand Central Station Apple store”

  806. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line:  “Finally!  After years of secretly envying iPhone fanboys for being passionate enough about a device to wait 12+ hours in line for the new iPhone, there is an Android phone cool enough for us to feel special too!”

  807. Hey, didn’t that guy in the RED shirt get the memo??? He’s totally a spy from Apple.

  808. “I saw a line… I naturally assumed it had something to do with pie.”

  809. Arrrg! By the time I get to the front of this line Phandroid.com will already be announcing “the next big phone.” I already have phone envy.

  810. Customer 1:  “Wow, so THIS is what it feels like to buy an iPhone”
    Customer 2:  “I know, and we get to do it all over again in a few months when they release the NEXT revolutionary superphone!  I can’t wait!”

  811. “Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line…. Did you hear that for an extra $50 you can back-hand Lowell McAdam for the wait? Totally worth it!!”

  812. “Wow, look at all the Suits, seems like the Apple geeks have matured and now seek a better phone!”

  813. “Dude, I am finally waiting in line for something I really REALLY want!!”

  814. “Hey look at all these guys here, must be a free peek show?”

  815. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line: “Where’s the beef?”

  816. “Wait, what do you mean this isn’t the line for the iPhone 5? They said I even got a complementary ice cream sandwich!”

  817. Wanna go home and Google with me after we get our Nexi?

  818. (GUY 1) I overheard all droid users have ice cream now.
    (Guy 2 ) “When the F#^* did we get ice cream?

    Movie: The Ringer.

  819. His name is Richard Geeeere

  820. Is this the line to see Santa? I need to ask him for an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle oh and a Galaxy Nexus too!

  821. “I was gonna wait for banana split, but this opportunity was just too good to pass up.”

  822. Guy Looking Back:
    “Had I have known it was gonna be this long of a line today to get my iPhone 4S, I would’ve just ordered on line… Do you know what everyone is waiting in line for?”
    Guy in crowd behind:
    “It’s always an iPhone person, everything MUST be about them… NEXUS HERE WE COME!!”

    (Loud whispers)
    “He’s definitely going to be pissed, because I heard they were out of stock, LOL!”

  823. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line: “The heck with waiting in this line, I’m going to just try and win one on Phandroid’s awesome holidroid contest”.

  824. “Another pair of shoes for my wife, a new Android smartphone for me. Standing in this line is the most amazing anniversary yet!”

  825. What do you mean you’re getting an iPhone?!?!

  826. “Damn, I just saw my boss ahead of us in line. I don’t think my “sick” story is gonna hold up tomorrow.”

  827. “Thanks for holding my spot, man. All this talk of ice cream and gingerbreads was making my stomach hurt.”

  828. Guy 1: is this the line for the galaxy nexus?
    Guy 2: the what? This is the line for MIB3 casting

  829. So, this is the line for the secret service interviews right?  Does the guy in the red KNOW what the secret service wear?  What a NOOB!

  830. “So, uh. Is this the line for the iPhone5?”

  831. That guy looks like Rick Santorum

  832. “Hey guys, I heard that there’s gonna be a lot of ice cream sandwiches here. I have the feeling that Verizon is making them raspberry flavors or something like that!” 

  833. Guy: you here auditioning for the Samsung commercial?

    Guy2: yeah. You?

    Guy: I heard they hand out ice cream.
    Guy2: awesome! But why is it at a Verizon store?

    Guy: *shrug*

  834. You mean this isn’t the line for the final Touchpad fire sale.

  835. Where’s Waldo?

  836. Verizon Wireless is facing some heat from consumers due to the “delay” in launching the much anticipated Galaxy Nexus android phone.  Backlash is so bad, people are standing in line to give the company a piece of their mind before immediately purchasing the phone.

  837. Wow so many comments!

  838. “And they thought people campout for iPhones”

  839. Were in line for those shoes right?

  840. Guy in black jacket: “Yeah, I thought about ordering it online. But who wants to wait inside all day for a package to get delivered.” 

    Guy in other black jacket: “What!? you can buy things on the world wide web now?”

  841. (Noticing the lack of women in line for some Nexus sweetness)  “Galaxy Nexus????  I thought this was the line for the new Jenna Jamison flick!!!”

  842. “Our customers aren’t sheep because we have a big screen, and four geeeeeez.”

  843. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus line….

    “Nah this line shouldn’t be too bad I waited twice as long for the 4S…. so you really think they will take in an iphone for a Nexus? If they don’t at least I was promised an ice cream sandwich for the first 50 people….You guys heard that right?”

  844. Wait…we can’t used Google Wallet? But I was going to pay for my phone with my phone! 

  845. I missed the deadline because of work sadly, but here is a caption.

    “What!? this isn’t the line for the iphone?”

  846. Wait, so you’re saying this isn’t the line for the iPhone 5?

  847. “What do you mean Marshalls is closed???  Oh crap, it’s past 11:59pm Eastern… oh well, guess I’ll go buy a Nexus.

  848. ” Are you really saying that there is no ice cream? What fail i’m in line from 3 a.m.”

  849. Why am I here?  Because I never get to say “Mine’s bigger than yours.”  Now I can.

  850. “What’s this line outside the Verizon store for? Oh, must be a new iPhone! Lemme find my place in line with you guys!”

  851. Overheard in the Galaxy Nexus Line, “Rumor has it the Galaxy Nexus 2 will be announced next month and is destined to put this phone to shame with its … ” O_o

  852. so many buyers!
