The DInc had a big following/sales and we've already well surpassed that prerelease thread (if you are trying to guess level of interest), but I certainly don't remember any lines for that phone.
I guess also availability at stores is all dependent on how many they get which would be a mystery. Preorder just seems like the safe way I guess.
Looking through press releases I see nothing for the Rezound. Is that because it wasn't considered a 'flag ship' device?
(rhetorical question) would VZW not make an official press release for the GNex?
