$199 would be amazing. I'd make $100 to returning my rezound.

Hate to admit it, but no, the Nexus isn't $250 better to me. The main advantage is ICS, but that'll come to Rezound eventually through HTC and probably a lot sooner from the ROM crowd.
I'm going to check out the Rezound at a VZW shop today, maybe pull the trigger online. Yeah yeah yeah, I'll hafta change my avatar.
Early, don't you ever sleep?
A retraction maybe , don't expect anything else though, you over estimate VZW's respect for its customers.
I wouldn't be surprised if it just dissappears and they play stupid "what ad? "

She doesn't complain about any problems with it. It acts just as wonky as google talk sometimes.
Someone is soooooooo fired! put up the wrong ad and outed that the Gnex got pushed. Big big no-no. Seems like a insanely huge mix up. Not impossible, just improbable. Go figure it happens to us!
It's because we're like drug dogs who found the stash of the century. Lol.
I did. About 12:30 I passed out cold. I missed all the excitement
I think it's just a mistake. I think this might have been a plan (for black Friday pricing) that didn't happen and the ad didn't make it out of rotation. Someone at the ad network or VZW is about to get an ear full.
That, or it was done accidentally on purpose to help ensure everyone knows they were intending to launch by now.
I bet its someone who reads this thread and they knew we needed a crumb to jump start a post spike.
Same thing I did.... An ad showed up showing the Nexus for $199 but it's not on VZW'S site.

Good morning Nexaholics. I don't know why I woke up at before 7 but I'm all caught up now.
I was going to go back to bed but can't sleep.

If that ad is legit, I think that must be 16Gb version. I hope they offer both 16, 32Gb nexus. For me, 16 gb would be enough.

Wow, this is exciting! Assuming Verizon doesn't bother to issue some sort of retraction/denial (how would they do that, anyway?) since they have such terrible communication, is there a way that we can force them into giving us this price since we saw it? Han, you're a lawyer - any ideas?

Wait, but that's impossible. The 8th was set in stone from the moment the Nexus egg was fertilized by the Galaxy spermatozoa!
Most likely not. False advertising usually entails a breach of the implied or written warranty regarding the quality of the product, or the condition it's sold in. Not so much the price.
It's really weird contract law. When you see an ad, especially with no specific date indicated, it doesn't technically constitute an offer to sell it to you at that price, unless it has a specific individual it's directing it to (for example, if it says $199 to the first 10 customers! or $199 with the purchase of a screen protector! At that point, it's established a specific parameter and offer).
It doesn't really make sense, I know, but most law doesn't.
For example, you guys might have heard of a few cases where a large company made a typo and advertised a car or an airline ticket for a ridiculous price. People tried to sue them, and in the cases where a specific parameter wasn't set, the court ruled that the ad wasn't a contract, and the plaintiff lost. If they had said "Ticket to Cancun for $2.00 if you buy before 12pm", that would've been a contracted offer and the plaintiff would've won. But no parameter was set, so there was no case.
But if some of you feel very strongly about it, and Verizon ends up selling this at $299 and you feel like suing based on the ad, file a complaint with your State Attorney's office; sometimes there are loopholes that protect you (Uniform Commercial Code). Also contact the Better Business Bureau.
But in the end, if the price difference is $100 and you decide to sue, you'd end up spending more in court costs and filing fees than if you just bent over and took it.
Oh, and good morning, everyone!!
The above does not constitute legal advice.

That deal on rezound is tempting but I'm not fan of Sense. It will get ICS but it's not like stock ICS with fast update from google. I also like nexus hardware, HD SAMOLED, OMAP 4460. The white seems much better than other SAMOLED.

I hate to be the negative nancy in all this, but does that $199 not concern anyone? I REALLY hope they are not putting out a 16Gb version before Christmas for $199, and then a 32Gb version in January. Just a small concern of mine, and probably won't happen

Good point. I hadn't considered the down side to the $199 ad.
