Popped in to my local VZW store today (before checking in here).
I asked the manager when the GNex was coming in, and he gave me a wink and said in a low whisper, "Come back tomorrow." Obviously he hasn't seen the latest from androidforumsOr maybe he's got a demo unit coming in.
I proceeded to start playing around with the RAZR and Rezound. The Rezound is a really nice phone. It took a lot of will power to not buy it right there. Super responsive, great screen. Not a fan of Moto Blur on the RAZR.
While I was playing, one of the reps was helping a couple pick out a phone. The guy asked about the GNex. The rep said it wouldn't be out until December. (Obviously another non-reader). He then proceeded to tell the couple not to waste their time waiting for the GNex because ICS was no big deal and Samsung devices are all junk. He managed to talk the couple into buying the RAZR.
It really made me angry that the rep would spew so much garbage just to make a RAZR sale. I almost said something, but decided to just walk out.
Oh well. I think I'll stop buy tomorrow to see if they have a GNex demo.
things like this infuriate me. i know their living is based on commission, but intentionally misleading a person is just sleazy. the worst one for me occurred when i was buying my thunderbolt and overheard a VZ rep telling another customer that the iphone4 had 4G and would therefore be just as fast. i politely corrected him and was then asked to leave with a tirade about interfering with their sales process. needless to say, i have not visited that particular store since.
