Well, I'm a geometry teacher, and you need to hook up and get your homework done, but if you need help with geometry, I'm here to help....but if your into tech like this, I'm betting you don't need help with geometry, or your already taking algebra 2!!!! :D:D:D

Geometry is the work of the devil. :)
 
Some of you may remember me from the infamous Incredible and Thunderbolt threads ... I've been lurking here for the last few weeks as the clock has been counting down, I finally have enough confidence in my info to share with you all. With the combination of my two sources and the phone call I made to my local store I have come to the following conclusion:

Official Release will be on Monday, December 12th, 2011

Not only am I getting the same date from my sources, but I just called my local Verizon Wireless Corporate store and was told that they already have the SGN in stock but they aren't allowed to activate them until tomorrow (Which, I'm guessing will also be the announcement date.) and the official release date is as I stated above.

I do not know about any potential pre-order dates, but if I was a betting man (And I am) I would guess that the 8th/9th dates floating around are for pre-orders.

So I finally dropped by my Verizon Corporate store that I mentioned previously in the above post. The attached pic is a SGN that the Manager brought out from the back for me to play with. I inquired again about the release date and s/he was adamant that it was going to be the 12th. Take it for what it's worth ... tired from my 13 hour day ... goodnight friends and enjoy!

Since I haven't been spanked lately (and boy do I miss it), I'm about to fill you in on my 30 minute visit with my VZW rep this afternoon. She called me about the Nexus. I was just leaving work so decided to stop into the corporate store where she works. She first apologized that I didn' t get my Nexus just before Thanksgiving as she promised. Corporate suits held the phone back mainly because the Razr marketing campaign hadn't run its course. She then offered to show me the accesories in the back room. Since her stock manager was there today, she wouldn't be able to let me buy them today. I can stop in tomorrow and purchase any that I want. The only one she didn't have was the HDMI dock. The staff has already had training, and their Friday meeting has been moved up Wenesday (7th). She told me that usually means a promotion is about to begin. While she wasn't sure whether there would be enough stock for an all out campaign to begin this week, I would be getting my Nexus on Friday. UNLESS she sees it in the system tomorrow or Wednesday. Then she would overnight to me and I would have it one or two days before release. The upgrade price is $299. Sorry for the late post. Wifey had me setting up Christmas decorations. Between blow-up Santas and flashing L.E.Ds or some silly phone, I guess you know where her priorities are. :-(
 
Any chance you want to take my Discrete Math Structures and Algorithms exam? ;)

Lol....not a snowballs chance in .......lol....don't even want to think about that stuff anymore!!!!!! Got to quit worrying about math like that 15 years ago!!!! :D:D

edit - The username in the search bar and all.. Thats the real deal right there... Steven, you should add this to the OP as the first official sighting in a VZW store
 
You can choose to believe what you want. I, like others, were simply passing on what we felt was useful information. The CSR I spoke with today at my local VZW corporate store told me it was in their system for a tentative release on December 8th. I then messaged a friend of mine who works at a corporate store in the Chicago area. He told me it wasn't in their system yet, but that didn't surprise him, because system updates are pushed out by region. That doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but I don't work for VZW and don't know a whole lot about how they do business internally.

Anyhow, that's about all I have to say on the issue. Either the information will pan out, or it won't. Either way, I and others were simply passing on what seemed like credible information, and I don't regret it a bit. :)

Makes sense. New Orleans area CSR gave me a tentative release on 8th also. Separate cities, same region. asked about it while on phone with Verizon customer service (setting up wife's new Rezound on her account) and they had no new information. Nothing is solid until Verizon says so but it's great to hear that stores are finally prepping for release.
 
i guess all these people may be lying to get me and others in the store, but when i and others get there and there is no phone, that's not exactly going to help them make a sale is it?
That's exactly what I'm thinking. I know sales people lie to make a sale (used car salesmen anyone?), but with something like this, lying to the customer isn't exactly the smartest thing to do.

FWIW, when I called, the CSR immediately knew what I was talking about, and told me without any hesitation that it's releasing on the 8th. When I asked how they were notified, she said it was in their system. She may have been lying, but I doubt it. However, since she did say it was tentative, I won't be completely shocked if it's not in on Thursday.

Regardless, now that corporate stores are getting solid information on the GNex, I think it's finally safe to say that release is indeed imminent.
 
so i finally dropped by my verizon corporate store that i mentioned previously in the above post. The attached pic is a sgn that the manager brought out from the back for me to play with. I inquired again about the release date and s/he was adamant that it was going to be the 12th. Take it for what it's worth ... Tired from my 13 hour day ... Goodnight friends and enjoy!

Picture or it never happened! Just kidding. I guess some stores definitely have them in, now :)
 
Not a CSR story.

I have a friend that works for corporate verizon and he just told me all the internal rumors are for the 8th...but he hasn't seen any official paperwork/statements yet.

Just as important, he's going to set me up with unlimited data (I currently don't have a data plan).
 
I will take anything that comes from an Eagles fan with as much salt as you can yield to evaporate the Atlantic.

Congrats on being the first to hold the LTE device in an actual Verizon store!
