Good morning our fearless leader. Have you seen what our family has done this morning - we have Best Buy employees trying to figure out how to see inside boxes and we have a store stalker complete with pics!!!!! :D
 
Ok I'm typing this on my phone at school and I come to this thread and see you guys talking about stgalking Verizon stores... LOLWUT? Someone give me a quick recap of what's going on and any news after this morning's meetings...
 
This thread is out of control crazy funny. Thanks to all participants.
Posting to this thread is like trying to jump on a merry go round doing 50 MPH. You gotta be quick and hold on tight!

I know by the time I post this there will be 3 more pages of comments to read.
Also, the 21st is my 18th b-day (+30) so hoping for a nice present from myself. I hope it's a new superawesomephone! I can't wait. :D

Ok let's think about this for a second. If Google and Verizon and were indeed going to release the phone Monday, November 21st, wouldn't they have said something by now? An official announcement? If they are really going to release the phone Monday morning, that means we would be roughly 72 hours from release. Why keep it all hush hush with less than 72 hours to go? It makes no sense as it makes more sense for an official announcement to have been made long before now that the phone will in fact be out Monday morning.

Take a look at Apple and how quiet they are with their releases. Even they made the announcement a week to 10 days before you could pre-order online. I just find it hard to believe Verizon would still be keeping the lid on this if they are in fact going to release it Monday. I would want to be getting this information out to the consumers so they are aware a hot new phone is being released.

Now don't get me wrong. All signs look good and point to a Monday release, and I hope it does get released Monday. From a business stand point, it makes no sense to keep the lid sealed shut with less than 72 hours to go.

They did it with the Rezound. The only phones Verizon seems to shove down customers throats is Motorola's.
 
So im running on 2 hours of sleep and coffee. If verizon would just make an announcement my friday wouldn't be so crappy.

If they're going for a quiet release, then no. They're marketing the Razr and ReZound heavily right now and might want to release the Galaxy Nexus for us to keep us happy and at the same time still try to get normal peeps to buy one of the other phones. I'm still believing we'll be able to "quietly" get a Galaxy Nexus next week!

I agree and me too. I was just trying to look at it from both sides and all angles. Things weren't adding up or making sense. But when has some of the decisions management has made in large companies? Exactly.
 
My word of advice for stalking is don't just pictures, get some video as well.

No news yet. But stalking was damn funny.

I can't keep up with this thread but I don't dare take a break. I can't imagine how much I would miss.

Why aren't more people concerned about the lack of Flash? This has me a bit bummed.

I'm going on with the understanding that because GN is a cutting edge developing software technology handset... that we may experience several apps that may not work initially on our phones. It will take time for the devs to update and tweak their programs. Am I incorrect in thinking the same is true for Flash?

If your worried about it, you can wait until they get that kink worked out... :D
