That's what I'm wondering as well. I think she is assuming Monday, and that what was actually said is "week of the 21st".

I just hope it's definite.

I just want to say thank you Hans for keeping us in the loop.

A lesser man would keep this to himself. Or a total tool (ahem P3) would say something like "Hai guyz I gotz release date but I no sharing!!!11". But not you.

And a big thanks to your sister for spilling the beans and allowing you to post it.

Honestly, the 17th to the 21st isn't much more of a wait. I was starting to get a little down because I actually just sold my Vibrant over at XDA, and am now stuck with using a G1 for the time being...so when I was hearing 'not till December' I was like oh man. But this is excellentsauce.

If you were a woman I'd kiss you
 
Man this is some exciting news! Thanks for the update. I wonder what the chances are that the store would be sold out, I won't get out of work until around 6pm. In-store pre-order would be nice. Does Verizon do that kind of thing?
 
Han,

Didn't you tell your sister you wanted it by the end of November? And didnt she say you wouldn't be happy? Has something changed since then?

Totally agree now that it's soaked in. Monday is perfect for me - a new phone will be a nice reward for studying all weekends/moving! Perfect timing I would say XD
 
Any idea what inventory levels might be like? Will stores sell out quickly? I'll be going on a vacation and I'm hoping there will be one left for me when I get back.
 
This is exciting news, come on Monday, or any day next week!!!

I just don't want it to be tomorrow, I am stuck in a manager meeting all day with "the powers to be" and have absolutely zero chance sneaking out to Verizon. Afterwards I am on vacation until the Monday after Thanksgiving, so any other day will work!
 
This is amazing news -- guess the source's info lined up as well as did all the leaks.

I am hoping for a press release sometime tomorrow or Friday and then an in-store release on the 21st so I can have this phone in my hands and do absolutely nothing at work on Monday or Tuesday!

Thanks again for the awesome news Hans and to all the sources and tipsters lurking in the thread!
 
Hey, long time lurker but I never post. Anyways, I went to BJ's and started talking verizon guy there. Tells me he just received a bunch of accessories for gnex and has them locked up in the back. He checked system if phone is listed and not yet but accessories have arrived at retail locals. Woohooo
 
Hmm...I'd love the 21st, but I'm still not convinced we can get from where we are now to a launch by 21st. I'll feel more comfortable if we get news of phones arriving in stores. Heck, lots of stores are still reporting no accessories. I hate to say it, but I'm planning on the 28th at earliest. And if I'm proven wrong....oh shucks! ;)

Yes, but in phone conversations I was telling her I was really banking on 11/17 or 11/18. I think that when she said I wouldn't be "thrilled", she meant that I wouldn't like waiting another weekend (I'm really impatient; she knows me well).

That would also match up with her "OMG! You're an idiot!" remark when I told her of how I finagled a Dinc2 out of the Verizon VP to hold me over until the SGN drops. :p
 
not sure if this was posted but apparently the samsung sign up page (not the verizon one) has changed its verbiage..... http://androidcommunity.com/samsungs-galaxy-nexus-sign-up-page-now-headlines-verizon-wireless-20111116/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews

I'm as giddy as a school girl!

I just hope it doesn't make me look stupid.

Although if my info is wrong and we're actually getting it tomorrow or Friday, I'll be very happy to be wrong!!!! :)
 
I spent a whole week on slickdeals when the $150 touchpad deal was going on. I promised myself never to let a forum consume that much of my life again. Clearly, I have relapsed! Gosh, how can something so wrong seem to feel so right. Goodnight (i.e. I am logging off of my desktop only to lurk on my phone in bed).

A change is going to come....

Other than precedents, which have been broken lately, are there any laws of the universe that would prevent it from launching on Tuesday 11/22 or Wednesday 11/23?
 
Just me or has today been the craziest of all roller coaster days? Basically "sources" saying anywhere from Friday to mid-December!
