This thread is quite large, and lots gets lost. But that link was already posted a few times today......and worse, several times a week ago when it was current news. :D

Too bad DroidLife hasn't figured that out.

I just got off a live chat with Verizon. I've changed the name of the rep:

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.
You are now chatting with 'Chuck'
Chuck: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Chuck: How are you today?
You: Doing well - you?
Chuck: I am doing great what can I do for you today?
You: I am looking at switching to Verizon from Sprint... 5 lines, smartphones. But I'm looking for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Do you know when that might be available?
Chuck: I am sorry we don't have that Galaxy Nexus, But we do have other phone that may compare what features do you like about that phone?
You: Looking for the pure Android experience, Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, no carrier bloatware, dual core, HD screen, face recognition unlock, curved screen.
You: Oh, and the software buttons of ICS.
Chuck: OK would you like a phone that is a touchscreen?
You: Yes, the Nexus is a touchscreen. It is curved, thin. I also like the zero shutter lag in the Nexus' camera.
Chuck: Would you like a phone that has a physical qwerty keypad?
You: No
Chuck: Would you like to a phone with bigger screen?
You: Yes. 4.65 inches - like the Nexus has.
Chuck: I believe I have a phone in mind that you would like would you like to view a link for that?
You: Is it the Rezound?
Chuck: No but I believe that the link for the phone I will send you, you will love that phone.
You: ok
Chuck: DROID BIONIC by Motorola
Chuck: Do you see yourself using that phone?

That's where the conversation ended.

The Windsock's Wh is 6.48.

The one on Samsung's site is 7.7.

But that's a shot of his earlier test build. That one also had a brushed metal back.
P3 needs to post a shot of the battery of his current Gnex, since that's the final build (or at least, closer to the final build).

So yeah, the battery stats he posted yesterday have no connection to that picture.

That picture from P3 is older than the one's he currently has in his possession. I don't think that picture from him was even a first-hand photo. He just got those two SGNs this week, and that picture is older than that.
 
Gosh, harassing Verizon employees to purchase phones that do not exist in their inventory and they have no information on sure seems like the epitome of maturity and reasonable behavior.

Isn't a big piece of this forum about extending kindness and pleasantness to everyone? Isn't that the zero tolerance policy? So why is it appropriate to post harassing conversations with Verizon employees?

What, precisely, did you expect them to say to you? "Oh, yes sir, I have a Nexus right here I can ship you." THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE PHONE. They are sales people. They are going to try to sell you the most appropriate phone in their inventory. Why is this a "facepalm"? Do you expect everyone who talks to you to be technical geniuses? They are employees trying their best. Did you know that there are people smarter than you, too? Do you think that people who are smarter or more learned than you are justified in talking down to you, or would you hope they would have some empathy?

Harassing them is absolutely rude and classless.

Sigh, This crap better launch soon... I need a new phone. My poor old dinc isn't handling Nil's gingersense 3.0 very well(getting several reboots-app crashes a week) and I don't have the energy to reburn it back to a 2.2 ROM and reload everything.

Speaking of which has anyone been trying to bump their update date lately? I'm due on 12/28 (like a lot of Dinc users) I know verizon has tightened up their rules since the Dinc. People back then were getting it bumped 4-5 months. I'm hoping I can get away with a month and change :P

I got bumbped 11 months...I posted earlier. Took me three calls but it was worth it.
 
I know it was suggested earlier, but does someone want to ping him and ask? The 12 year old snotty kid might take an interest in one of the ants' questions.

First of all, the Rezound had an official release date and what happened was ONLY that they shipped some orders ahead of the release day.

Second of all, as soon as they said "we have no Galaxy Nexus," what was to be gained by giving them a bunch of crap about spouting off a bunch of GNex specs to them asking for a phone that meets that description? And then posting online about how they're a bunch of idiots with "facepalm" images like they were stupid for even intimating that another phone in their inventory might meet your requirements?
 
Ytram said:

Exactly. People got Rezounds shipped to them 5 days before launch by talking to Verizon CSRs online.
The least we can do is try to get some Gnex information out of them, if not an order. I don't think chatting them asking questions can be considered harassment.

In any case, it was fruitless with the Gnex, so I don't know what to do except wait :rolleyes:

And we're not marvelling at the CSRs' stupidity or anything, we've acknowledged that they're just working for the paycheck. What we're "facepalming" at is Verizon's apparent attempt to sell off their Bionic stock. Or at least I was, can't speak for everybody.
 
Is there anyone here that think the 16gb GNex will be $199 and the 32gb $299. I feel like if they are not, the phone will not be able to compete with the iPhone 4S to the average user who buys based on look and price.
 
I'm going to agree with binary visions on this.

There isn't any reason to continue asking the online chat people at Verizon about the Nexus. They have obviously not been given any information on the phone and/or can't/won't talk about it even if they do know about it. Please stop trying to get someone to say something, even if you do get someone to slip up you may be costing a person their job. On the same note, please do not post anymore chats on the forum.

The discussion about right or wrong doesn't need to continue either.

Thank you.
