Any info on pre orders? I know she is just getting the hearsay, but just curious.

Not what we wanted to hear but it is some solid info. Thanks for passing it on Han!!
Ha ha, just kidding.
She texted:
I'm going to assume 12/8. So my question is, will the double data deal persist past 11/30? Because if not, I needs to rent me a Rezound or the like. EDIT: Some cynical part of me says this is a game to screw Nexus buyers out of the better data deal. But just the cynical part.
Just when I was getting all sad since the Dec. 8 date seems to be a good one...this made me laugh out loud! Thanks!

I normally would take my sister's info with a huge grain of salt, but this adds up to what Chief heard as well.
I'm still hoping that the Love Tunnel's possibility of this week holds true, but I'm not banking on it.
Oh well. I just hope that the HTC device doesn't get fully unlocked and ROM'd with ICS; that might prove to be too tempting.

It's so confusing when you quote your sisters quotes because then someone quotes you and all we see are the faces you post between text messages..
Just saying.. I would say good news but frankly it isnt here until its here..

Damn, that's some fix. Essentially, "If your volume acts up, Hang Up!" Or in this case, cut off 2G's head from the get-go and don't even give it the chance to step out of line.
Not so sure actual interference can be addressed in software, but can probably adjust the system to respond only to long button presses for volume changes.

I could live with that.
It would be very hilarious if you are spouses and didn't know the others SN....
Yes, it would. However, seeing as how my husband has been sprayed with technology repellent, I'm certain that he not only is not a member of this forum, he would not even carry a cell phone if his job and I did not make him do so.
And now for a commercial break:
Crap...it wouldn't show the picture on my work PC.
Ha ha, just kidding.
She texted:
Welp...if 12/8 is the far outside, I can live with that. As long as I can pick it up in a store on 12/8 before I leave for the sunny Caribbean. Thanks Hanette for the info, and Han for being a gigantic pain in your sister's ass for us.

Yeah, and lets also hope that Dec 8th is truly definite. I don't think any of us can handle any more delays.

If we are going to beat the Incredible thread, we need to be left in the dark. If we know 100% for sure it's coming Dec.8th, what's point of being on here till then? Right?
Jeez, Verizon just can't win, can they?
They don't specify a release date, because they don't know it yet. Reaction: JUST TELL US THE DATE! I HATE VERIZON!
They want to test the phone to ensure, to the best of their ability, that the LTE version works correctly on their network. Reaction: STOP DELAYING! I HATE VERIZON!
When people demand more information, they respond to inquiries by saying "We haven't determined the date yet, and we want to make sure the phone works right before we release it." Reaction: THEY'RE LYING! I HATE VERIZON!
Suppose they had announced it and then had to miss it -- which is exactly what would have happened if they'd announced 11/17 or 11/21 -- the reaction would have been STOP LYING TO US! I HATE VERIZON!
If they just went ahead and released the phone now, which is what so many people seem to want for some reason, the reaction would be THIS PHONE IS A BUGGY PIECE OF CRAP! I HATE VERIZON!
Apparently, there is literally nothing they can do that won't anger people. Is it any surprise that they continue to ignore the complaints? I would.
Here's an experiment. Seriously, everybody try this:
For just a moment, try assuming that Verizon is not evil or incompetent. Assume that they actually want to release the phone and sell it, and that they are working as hard as they can to get the phone to us, taking into account all of the complicated factors they have to worry about. Assume that they will release it as soon as they possibly can -- after all, at the moment it is only costing them money -- and they will tell us as soon as they know when that will be.
Try thinking positive thoughts: "Wow, too bad there are bugs, but I'm glad Verizon found them. I'm going to hope that their people find a solution quickly."
Yes, we're all frustrated and disappointed that the Galaxy Nexus isn't out already. But maybe, just maybe, it's nobody's fault.

I really AM famous
Thanks to whoever tipped this to DL, the video now has 68 likes (and 0 dislikes) and counting
Thanks for the info, Steven. Any news is good news. What your source says seems to fit with what we've been hearing. Honestly, I've moved past the minute-by-minute wait stage to the "yes, I will be happy when it gets here, but for now, I will only agonize over it a maximum of once or twice a day" stage
I feel like this is a bit more healthy.
I have seen it pop up on Google+ a few places already as well...you hit the big time bro
not sure why this popped into my head.... but what comes to mind is the comedy sketch of Bobcat Goldthwait about the kid holding up the man with a screwdriver.... Give me all your money or I will make your glasses really wobly....
Like I said... don't know where it came from... chaulk it up to pending insanity.....
