I'm not giving in....its nexus or bust BUT it is very annoying how verizon handles this stuff and just leaves everyone hanging that is what is really fueling most of the frustration on this thread I think....not the fact that it might come out in December or whatever the date may be. its more the fact that Verizon just will not give a date I don't understand what the big deal is people want what they want.

Just a couple of quick thoughts...Went to Verizon at lunch (corporate and not reseller). The manager didn't know anything (big surprise) and hadn't been trained on anything (some surprise as others have claimed that their "sources" had been trained)...At any rate, on Saturday I was at a DIFFERENT corporate store and same story as above. So in short, not sure where everyone is getting that training is occurring because I really doubt that it is. In each situation this was a summary of the exchange:

Me: "Do you have a date yet on the GN?"
Mgr: "Nope, we don't know anything more than you do."
Me: "I know you couldn't tell me anyway what the date is, but would you AT LEAST tell me if you knew the date?"
Mgr: "You're right, I couldn't tell you, but I WOULD tell you if I knew there was a hard and fast date. There isn't."
Me: "Have you at least been trained on it yet."
Mgr: "Nope, no training materials yet in the system. We haven't seen anything."

Not to be a buzzkill because I'm very anxious for this release, but I just find some of the sources contradictory.

As an aside, the screen on the Rezound was amazing. Very fast from screen to screen and as others have noted, not as thick as the measurements make you THINK it is...All in all, a very nice fallback option for many.

I don't know about corporate stores, but I know for a fact (first-hand saw the materials) that premium indirect retailers have 2 trainings currently in their system: One is just a short video which highlights the Razr, Rezound and GN - what each phone has to offer and how they are unique from one another. The other item is an Ice Cream Sandwich training, exactly like what Kellex had posted.

In other words, this screen shot

Galaxy Nexus Training Begins At Verizon, Release Imminent? – Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

is completely legitimate and is currently available for VZW employee (again, at least in indirect stores) training.
 
Does the audio sound amazing? Better than your other HTC devices?

Just trying to figure out if Beats is like a soundcard that enhances quality by a lot or if it just gives more bass.


edit:
nvm i see you couldnt use headphones
 
Will Verizon only be getting the 32 GB version??

Why The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is Worth Waiting For

Phil Nickinson just posted this on the AC forums:
"FWIW: I'm hearing last week of November, which would be on schedule, or the first week of December, which would be a week late.

Regardless, do you want this thing early? Or do you want it to work when you get it? (Loaded question, I know, and I'm sure we'll still see bugs at some point, right?)

Regardless, everybody chill a bit.

Now excuse me while I go contemplate importing a GSM version. :-/"

I don't doubt this guy at all FWIW
 
New return policy means... I think I may go pay the $35 rental fee and play with the HTC till Nexxie comes out to play. The 35 bucks may be worth it to curb the insanity for a while.
