Well, this is my second time. The hype, mystery and anxiety over the HTC Incredible was every it as high as with this phone. We had a mega thread that people from all over the internet came to for info. It was fun. I don't really find all this painful. I find it to be fun. It's exhilarating! I'm honored, not only to be part of it, again, but to be a main driver of it.
Yes, I am. I'm not trying to divert us. I'm just thinking ahead, with a forum perspective. You see, this is not just about my next phone, it's about Android Forums and providing members and lurkers, and yes, the entire internet with a centralized resource for info, rumor and speculation about the next hottest phone, which in this case is the SGN.
Choices are good to have.

I hope so too... but that leak was on 11/6. Is it possible that VZW planned for 11/21 then changed it to 11/18 and then back to 11/21 again? Seems unlikely... but who knows how or why they think as they do.

Not really, no. A) 120,000 phones is nothing, they likely committed to 1,000,000+ RAZRs B) Despite what we would all like to think, the majority of consumers have no idea what the Nexus is, or that its coming soon and will make the RAZR look outdated. Same technique they used for the Bionic.

Greetings! I went by the store and played with the HTC device for a while, and that screen is beautiful!
However, I was disappointed in the Sense experience. I got a little bit of lag on the phone at times, and I blame it on the giant turd they dumped on it.
I also asked the store rep about the Nexus, and he said that they are expecting it at the end of the week. I got all excited and asked him what day, and he said he wasn't sure, but "that's what all the blogs are saying."

Goodnight all!! I'm still hoping for the 21st release. The stars seem to be aligning, so I am staying positive.

In reference to what you wrote in quoting my post...I totally get it. I will be right there with you. Just wanted to add to the train! Haven't yet had time to drop a line to Phases...work has been nuts and I have barely been keeping up here. Thanks for you support and feedback. Just might drop him a line right now, even if I feel slightly detached from the forums as a whole. Thanks Steven.

I really do believe these people that say their Verizon reps/store managers told them end of the week. I HOPE that they know something we don't.
I was in Costco the other day, just kind of standing there looking over the Razr. It was one of those non-working ones, but he started talking up the Razr and that he could have one delivered to me by today if I wanted to order.
I told him I was waiting around for the Galaxy Nexus, if he's ever heard of that. He said, "Yeah I know exactly what you are talking about....um, check back with me at the end of this week, and I can tell you then if we have it then. But when it does come you'll want to get it here because of our return policy and bundles."
The fact that he had to say "check back with me at the end of the week" either indicates that he knows something is up, or he reads all the internet rumors as well. He didn't look like the type though. So who knows.
I have faith that we will hear SOMETHING tomorrow.

The only thing that concerns me about tomorrow's event is that the teaser images sent in the email invitations show T-Mobile, and I doubt they would announce anything Verizon Nexus-related at a T-Mobile/Music event... but who knows, maybe Verizon will come out with a release date on the same day, but unrelated to the event.

Man, I miss the days of arguing about what processor and GPU this would have......
Btw, I still think it's going to be a 1.5 Ghz dual-core Exynos with a SGX543...
