Woah, that is kind of a big step. I thought Monday was just a rumor, and Steven apparently confirmed a Monday release...Hopefully this time Steven's sources are dead on.

Well he did tweet yesterday in no-nonsense terms that it was releasing November 21, and even put some exclamation points after it. I hope he's right!
 
Hey everyone, long time lurker here. I'm pretty much answering the call to bring out all of my fellow lurkers so we can make this thread epic.

Yep, that sums up my experiences at corporate stores as well. I remember being told once that using wifi would count against my data usage so I opted to get unlimited just to be safe. I'm glad I did or I might not have my unlimited plan today.

I don't even bother asking them questions anymore...

Why would you spend $15 a month for 200MB anyway?

For some reason I find the idea of that to be hilarious

Hmm...I see. Well there's an iphoneforums.net app for android, so I didn't think it would be that big of a stretch of te imagination to think there would be an androidforums.com app for iPhone. I guess I'm just not one of those people who think more than one platform can't coexist.

Thanks anyway.
 
From DL just now:

  • Scenario 1: The phone arrives in store shipments this weekend (probably unlikely unless they show up today) and goes on sale Monday, November 21. The world throws a massive party.
  • Scenario 2: On Monday, the phone is announced as available for pre-order immediately and will be in-stores and online November 28. Where does November 28 come from? We are going on what our sources have said, and they are indicating that the 28th is shaping up to be the official day. We have also seen various VZW marketing materials that show a big Galaxy Nexus push happening just after the holiday weekend, on or around Cyber Monday.
  • Scenario 3: The phone is announced as available via the “web only” on November 21, but will be in stores on November 28. How could this happen? Well if our sources and other rumors are correct, there are still a couple of last minute bugs that are being ironed out as I type this. If those are fixed by the 19th (tomorrow), the phone will be ready to ship. Since stores haven’t received their actual shipments yet, Google and VZW could technically make the phone available online for orders before they can get it into stores.
  • Scenario 4: On Monday, Google and Verizon announce that the phone will be available November 28.
  • Scenario 5: Both the 21st and 28th are completely wrong and the phone gets pushed until December or some other non-rumored date.

Edit: Ninja'd. HanSolo answered above.
 
im not going to lie. everytime i see this phone and think about having it in my hands..it's so nasty and thin..makes me feel like im going to be a ninja..and that it's like a ninja star that i could walk around throwing it and things and it would just stick inside whatever is the target. but to be completely honest. i don't know if the thing will ever leave my hand the first week or two. c'mon GNEX!

Welcome !!!!
 
I think scenario 2 might be it. Maybe what my sister and Steven's sources have heard are November 21 and assumed it meant release, when it actually meant announcement or pre-order?

Who knows.
 
Geez...took me an hour and 15 minutes to catch up since leaving my house at 8:30 this morning. My excitement level is >10, but my productivity is <0. :)

I'm personally hoping Scenario 3 or (obviously) scenario 1.

I have an event to go to Tuesday evening, and I'd sure as hell love to have this phone by then, just to show it off :D If it's not here by that point then I'd be ok with having it any time in November, really.
 
If the Galaxy Nexus is available in store on 11/21 I give all of you permission to stone me in public. But I'm telling you at this point it's not happening folks....Verizon is not going to pay for Saturday delivery of all of these phones just to be extra sneaky. Best we can hope for is 11/21 online only!
 
It's great that my boss enjoys hunting, he's not in today. It sucks that most everyone is gone today and I have to answer the freaking phone. When I come back I refresh and I get to almost the most current posting and RING! Crap I fall behind again.
