I think they are trying to ditch as many Razrs and Rezounds as possible before launching the G-nex I think they know full well they have a massive hit on their hands but need to clear inventory while it will still sell.

I didn't get one and signed up for the updates.
Did you have a google checkout account? if not that may be why you didn't get the announcement!
Hope this helped!

Has anyone found a vertical dock similar to the iphone's?

FYI, I called my local Verizon store here in Houston where I bought my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and where an employee there has been extremely cool to work with. He asked two of his managers and a Samsung rep, and none of them knew when it was going to come out. Take it for what it's worth.
I'm just worried the Double Your Data promotion will be over by the time they release it. I really need that promotion to justify switching from AT&T. Anyone know when it's ending?

Hrm. Not sure what's worse here..
So I walk across the shopping center where this office is to get some lunch from the little chinese place here (side note: get to know people at the restaurants you love, they'll take real good care of you.. gotta love when they make you something special not on the menu) and I take my DX to keep up with the thread.. only the DX decides it won't load the forum part of the Phandroid app. I get a bit annoyed and try the webpage.. same deal.
Not sure if the DX knows the days are numbered or not, but I certainly started to feel withdraw symptoms by not being able to keep up with the thread. So maybe I do have more of an addiction issue than I thought. I know the DX is definitely getting flaky on me the closer we get to the Gnex release.

Alright guys, you guilted me into posting. How could I not be part of the most legendary thread about the most legendary phone?!
LONG time lurker, I think since the 300 pages but just made an account the other day. To add to the speculation, I stopped by a corporate store to talk to an employee. I brought up the nexus and he went to his manager to ask if he could say anything and she said no! So they definitely know something...

I'm sure I'll be ninja'd but they've shown the led notification as blue for all the demos so blue is in there somewhere. You can probably make lots of colors though

Went to my local Verizon Corporate store at lunch and got to play with the Razr and Rezound. Both were VERY wrm though not uncomfortably so. I wasn't impressed with the speed of either to be honest. They just weren't as smooth as I expected. I figured I'd be tempted to do the rental but not at all.
The Razer screen was worse than my DX which was a shock to me. That and the sealed battery means no sale. Why would such a potentially nice phone be crippled so? Unfathomable. It's hard to tell how it felt in my hand because of the stinking dookickey they stick on it. Sure it won't get stoled but you can't tell what it's like either. Very disappointing overall.
The Rezound had the nicest screen I've ever seen! Beautiful. It didn't seem all that fat to me. I do like what HTC has done with the notification area. I think TouchWiz has something similar but getting as quick settings was very convenient.
My issues with both phones was the lack of smoothness. Scrolling from one screen to another is just not as fluid as the GNex videos demonstrate. I guess I'm spoiled now. Another interesting thing was even though both phones were on 4G, they didn't seem all that fast to me. I loaded AndroidForums on both phones and my DX. Sure they were faster than the DX but not so much that someone who wasn't paying close attention would notice. Maybe the phones were abused or messed up, I don't know.
Spoke to a salesdude and he heard of the GNex and said they got a demo from Samsung but had no idea when they were releasing. He kept going on about how big it was like any larger and it wouldn't be a practical phone. He may have been trying to steer me towards either of the others. I don't know.
The lack of info is pissing me off again and I'm starting to feel like we're being toyed with again. I think I'm going to punch out of this thread for a bit, drink some tea and watch Netflix. I just started a week long vacation and it shouldn't begin with a lousy 'tude.

It's because they don't know. Even the people that do "know" only have a tentative date subject to change. Nobody at VZW is willing to actually sack up, pick a date, and stick to it.

I think you're right...at first I was led to believe that they were suppressing this launch due to the lack of bloatware, etc.....but I'm starting to think they actually know how much of a big deal this phone is...Now if they would just market the damn thing lol

Dammit! You couldn't have posted this before I dropped a deuce outside the Verizon store?! Some Mod you are!
I thought I read somewhere that it was an RGB led, and can genereate many colors.
not exactly related to the nexus, but here is the API for accessing (and setting colors/duration,etc) from the android sdk
Status Bar Notifications | Android Developers
To define your own color and pattern, define a value for the ledARGB field (for the color), the ledOffMS field (length of time, in milliseconds, to keep the light off), the ledOnMS (length of time, in milliseconds, to keep the light on), and also add FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS to the flags field:
I think it would have to be rgb to allow a dev to set the color
