Also, just got ANOTHER call from the Wautaga store and they too now have a demo and said it's coming out the 9th!!

my store in lakewood nj is opening at 8am on friday, which his manager said was "extended hours"
They seem to only do that for a device launch. so I shall be there an hour early and hope for the best.

Fwiw just called my local verizon store and they said they aren't sure but probably the 8th wtf! Well I still think it'll be the 9th but I will probably pop in on Thursday just to check.

UGHGHGHGHGHGH.... Seriously.
3 Verizon STORES still deny everything.
2 Online Chat CSR's say there WILL be a pre-order, and will not confirm the equipment guide launch date.

I did some checking on contract prices from retailers just to see how they compare. Here's what I see on the web sites for the Droid RAZR:
Best Buy- $299
Lets Talk- $289
VerisonWireless- $299
VerizonWireless (logged in)- $249
Amazon- $199
I don't have a Cosco membership so I couldn't see their price.

I highly highly doubt this. My og droid had the tethering in the settings and it just brought you to verzion page saying you needed tethering plan.

Hey guys, i know u hate these stories but i thought i'd share mine anyway:
just called bestbuy about 2 minutes ago to speak with the mobile department about upgrading the the galaxy nexus. the guy there was pretty chill and seemed a lot more informed than the oblivious verizon reps i've spoken with. Anyway, i asked him if it would be releasing this week. basically, he said "we were specifically told not to give out any specific information, but it will release VERY soon." When i told him i was from the android forums he said he's been checking this forum daily and went on to say he was just as excited about the phone as i was. after i said thanks for he help, he said "the 9th would be a pretty good guess, but don't hold me accountable."
anyway after talking to the guy it gave me the impression that my best hopes of getting the phone early is through best buy. i'l probly head over there after school on thursday and see if i can talk to the same guy.
hope this helps...

Anyone know if somewhere like Amazon would have it on release day or the day before and be able to overnight it? I have a $50 amazon gift card I could use towards it (and could pick up more and get fuelperks [20 cents off per gallon per $50 gift card you buy until Christmas]) and save some money that way.

I have the Droid Bionic and the Nexus is WAY thinner... It feels perfect in my man hands, and I can reach the notification bar with my thumb, one handed. It's SICK!
And the camera is way better than I thought it'd be. Crazy fast!

So I contacted two stores near me in suburban Philadelphia in Springfield and Glen Mills to see if they would confirm if they would have the phone and/or if they could hold one for me if they did.
The Glen Mills CSR stated that they expect it for the 9th but can't confirm if they will have it in stock. This was after waiting about 20 seconds on hold.
The Springfield store seemed to make more of an effort as I was on hold for almost 5 minutes and she said that they were having trouble connecting to the Verizon site and couldn't confirm if it would be in stock, however did confirm that the site does say launch on the 9th.
Both of the stores stated that they couldn't put one on hold if they were in stock. Anyone else know if in my area if they have had success? Sorry, I can't make it down to the Christiana mall to get it and back in time for work without being super late.
