I live in Mt Laurel off Rt 38. I actually waited in line at the Verizon on 73 near Cracker Barrel the morning the X came out. It's like 7 minutes away from my house and I have another corporate store 1 mile from my house, but they opened an hour later.

Grew up in Gloucester Township (not city, Blackwood/Laurel Springs area). We aren't quite as dense as North Jersey near New York City (yuck), but we are still very dense around Philly.

Hey everyone that was putting down Scotty... Maybe he's on to something.

Here's a tweet from britishturbo (Lee Johnston). U might remember that name from way earlier in the thread...

"Verizon Galaxy Nexus went on sale for pre order by Verizon reseller's today: issimo.me/hI6nl release date December 8th"

He appears to be someone in the know but once again take with a grain of salt

It seems like almost a month ago that we got confirmation that GNex accessories had arrived in Verizon stores. Why in the world did Verizon send accessories to stores weeks before the phone's release???

Make sure that you dust off those accessory boxes when you finally buy them.

They were probably there on time for the intended release date.

When I was directed by Amazon & Verizon to go to a store for a SIM swap, they messed up and activated an existing line on my new device and, blah blah blah... long-story-short: when things were done, they promised to waive my activation fee AND the new line I activated was somehow instantly eligible for an upgrade (shhhh). So maybe you can turn this into something good... y'know, "for your trouble."

Hey thank you for that suggestion. It seems that this was the CostCo reseller's mistake (or perhaps mine for proceeding w/the transaction even when the online forms didn't provide options for my case), but the VZW support person was very apologetic and maybe I can get something out of this. :)

FWIW, I really don't like this whole business of needing a brand new SIM card every time you activate 4G devices on VZW. My family doesn't upgrade very often, but it shouldn't be a disaster when we do.

Holy shiz.... I LOL'd for realz... j/k

Im excited... in the mean time, my wife got her Razr today... RAZR should be spelt T-E-M-P-T-A-T-I-O-N... Its a solid, and dang quick device. I was floored.
 
I'm going to be really honest with you guys. I highly doubt pre-orders will start tomorrow. As you may know I use to be an Assistant Manager for Gamestop for many years. Usually when a new game was going to be available for reserve there would be a conference call the day before from the District Manager(usually early in the day, noon-2pm) letting us know to push it for good numbers. Which was then relayed to the CSR's. Which brings up the fact that nobody with a "source" in VZW has any solid info because there isn't any info to be had. Just my thoughts take it how you will.

OMG!
This makes me feel 100000000% more confident.
Looks like the guy at the store wasn't fabricating anything! Wow I'm excited now.
:D :) :P

My issue with the whole thing is that we haven't heard any info at all from any reliable sources in a while...I'm hoping it means they are just being careful w/ leaks for this launch and really it could be here any day...I'm afraid to think of the negatives(ie major problems w/ the device)

I'm about 10 minutes south of the Burlington Bristol Bridge off Route 130. I've been to the PJs in Cherry Hill - good times

When I imported my wife from east SJ (Waretown, bay side around LBI) I got her hooked on PJs. The hot and honey wings are the greatest invention ever, though the pulled pork sandwich or crab cake sandwich (when they used snowflake rolls) are up there. I prefer the Haddonfield one the best, but I have a buddy that bounces at the Cherry Hill one and one that tends bar there as well. Either one you pick the female workers are very nice.

I agree totally. I would actually be surprised if we dont hear anything by the end of the week.
