Has there ever been a pre-release thread as big as this one?? Is this the phone that the board has gotten the most excited over?

Yeah considering neither of these are official Verizon accessories, I'm still holding out for the 17th. If the 15th comes and goes with no official word, I'll accept that it will be later.
I've been calling, e-mailing, and going to Verizon Store but they're very firm on their stance of not allowing me to upgrade any earlier. I have a Droid X with buttons that are wearing out and is becoming frustrating to use and I explained my situation to them but I still will have to pay the full retail price for a new phone if I wanted to upgrade. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be getting a Galaxy Nexus.My upgrade date is in March 2012 since I bought a Droid X at launch.
I sense a bit of a let down after the euphoria of yesterday. So, I will share an interesting oddity that has happened to me for my last two phone purchases. It has to do with family travel to my sisters house to visit. The most recent purchase was my Incredible. The dates we picked for the 12 hour drive directly interfered with online availability of the Dinc. My wife picked up on the fact that we had the same problem with my previous purchase. (I guess I drove her crazy obsessing) I would order my phone online and then have to leave town the next day for a Thanksgiving visit, only to sit and wait for our house sitter to call with the news of its arrival. So here we were at a different time of year (summer) repeating the process exactly. Skip to this year. We made plans for a Thanksgiving visit back in March, not realizing that the Gnex would be hitting around the same time. (Color me uninformed). This year's departure date is Friday the 18th. That means I'd place my order on...yup the 17th. True story. Can it happen to me three times in a row?
So let's say the phone does release on the 17th. Seeing the razr offered so cheaply already. Does anyone feel like waiting a few days for a cyber Monday special? Does 3-4 days make up for a possible 100-150 savings????
It surely does. I'd wait.
i upgraded to droid x about 2 weeks after launch and when bionic came out i was eligible for an early upgrade basically paying $20 early upgrade fee. howcome you arent able to upgrade?

I believe this is 2nd in size behind the Droid Incredible thread
The Incredible thread is still bigger, unfortunately. But not for long! MWAHAH!
EDIT: Dang it....ninja'd...
Galaxy Nexus is now open for PRE-ORDERS from T-MOB in the UK!!!!

The camera sucked. Just as much as the Bionic. From Focus to capture felt like FOREVER.
The incredible Incredible thread had it's final post made on April 29th 2010 at 11:31 am. That post had 256 thanks and was the post closing the thread. It was post number 47904 on page 959. That thread was also aloud to go wildly off-topic and had 6 times the number of deleted posts that this one does. It was also a different time in Verizon, Android and Android Forums history.
If you ever decide that you hate yourself, for some reason feel that you deserve punishment for something, have just lost your mind or are looking to lose your mind then you can read the thread here:

Hate to say it and I won't hijack the thread, but you're going to find yourself on an island with this one. Pretty much everyone reviewing it (myself included) has found the camera to be a huge improvement over the Bionic, especially speed wise. Just sayin'...

maybe the settings need to played with or something? Because I thought the same thing, it took FOREVER for it to take a picture. But I didn't mess around with any settings... the phone was so so slow, I got frustrated with it...
SNIP
I only get ONE CHANCE to swap out this Bionic, and I. AM. WAITING. FOR . THE. NEXUS!
Oh Crap :/ I just though of something...
I don't know how many people use Swipe, but if you do its a insanely addictive keyboard... I wonder if it works on ICS?
this wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but I'd cry daily until I learned to tap instead of slide again :/
I'm going to go post on their forums, If I get a answer I'll report back..
....Almost everyone says it is delayed, as a result of the Amazon listing. No one will even consider that Amazon is an outlier.....
