So what do you suggest we do? Nothing? Don't say a thing and sit back and wait and let Verizon assume they're not annoying or frustrating their customers? If they don't care then eventually what goes around comes around and people will leave.... WHAT DO WE DO NOW SIR?

The problem is that your only frustrated and annoyed because you read tech sites/blogs and believe these "confirmed" sources. Like the WSJ, who are correct roughly 1 out of 10 times they leak a tech story.

I want the phone as much as anyone, but harassing people who don't have information or can't share that information because they would lose their jobs is sort of selfish.

The day/week isn't over yet. Maybe it will happen, no one really knows.

Heck one of my best friends confirmed to me that he placed an order for them yesterday. They showed in his system as both "in stock" and "available". (He is a reseller) but that really doesn't mean anything. However 15 minutes prior to that he had sent me a message like. "It isn't happening this week." Followed with .. "Ok, well maybe it is, I just ordered some and they show as available"

My guess is, if they ship phones to resellers early you can call around and you will most likely find one who will sell you the phone regardless of official street date.

Exactly! I'm completely off contract right now and if ATT offered me something really good they would have a new customer... Like a Galaxy Nexus and a 4 gig dataplan for the same price as a 2/gb one. :)

Not to mention you could get the SGS2 Skyrocket if you didn't want to pay full price for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.

Anything is possible but keep in mind those blogs are just Artsy and Pretty Webb pages with no more of a source for information than we have.

They draw you in so you can see their sponsor adds and get paid. You can plainly see some of them post the same info we read in our forum.

I do give some attention to TheVerge but the rest of them for the most part are just Cut/Copy/Paste data mining traps and I avoid them like the plague.

Ha what? Dude they've had months to properly market this phone. If they couldn't have done it in the amount of time they've had, then maybe they need to let the marketing team go and find some people who can get the job done.

Well, Verizon has never launched a marketing campaign much more than a week before a phone is out. We have seen no evidence of posters, fliers, tv ads, so far, which raised doubt with me that the flagship ICS phone was coming out in a few days.

This is a pointless avenue to vent unjustified frustration. A few people aren't going to bully a multi-billion dollar business. You're wasting your time and effort screaming at a wall that doesn't care and isn't listening.

This. We can gnash our teeth, scream, yell, make demands of people sitting in cubicles wearing headsets, it doesn't matter. We're not even a minority, we're a tiny, tiny barely-a-fringe. The general public doesn't know or care that a Nexus phone is being released. It's just another Android phone in a sea of them.

Welcome to the only downside of a huge OS market share achieved with a flood of devices.
 
I'll post a copy of my receipt from telesales, whenever they send me one. They assured me the extended battery and case would be here on Friday. Expecting an email soon.
 
Well my requested Friday off just went from a day of playing with my GNex to beer and Skyrim. Not so bad I guess but I'd rather have my Nexus.

Do you have any suggestions on how to get our message through to Verizon Execs that we could really use some information here? Anything at all??? I came up with a suggestion and instead of giving me a better one you tell me not to get the phone, something to help out would be much better. Thanks!

The only thing a company the size of Verizon is going to understand is the loss of business/money which is why I said don't buy the phone. Which does bring me to another point. There is a reason Verizon itself has never came out and confirmed a date in public. People are complaining about how they are disrespecting their customers and such by continually delaying this phone. Fact of the matter is the only reason people had dates was due to documents being leaked that we're never meant to be public, or through Verizon employees who were told not to say anything. I am disappointed too with another delay, but I don't blame Verizon for my disappointment, I blame myself for believing second hand knowledge before it was officially announced.

I actually think she has been very accurate with respect to when the info was given and remember when saying things like that, it's his sister, family, blood is much thicker than water, ease up on a guys family, I'm frustrated too...

PS - Saying "With all due respect" doesn't mean your showing any respect, most of the time when people use that phrase, it is an excuse to say something rood or insensitive, ya know.

I'm not sure how you see this in any way as a defamation of his sister. Man, get a grip, the criticism is directed at her SOURCES. :rolleyes:
 
A friend saw the news too and said maybe it's not the 9th anymore because they moved it up to the 8th... I wish I had his optimism, lol.

Well, if Verizon screws us again, as per usual, the Galaxy Note hit the FCC for AT&T.

If any of you are sick of Verizon, that is.

As for me, I'll be getting the TP and getting this soon-to-be-outdated phone next year, if at all.

It now seems, annoyingly, that places are reporting the Prime was pushed back to about Jan 9. Best Buy just dropped the original to $299. I guess since Verizon didn't yet make a grand announcement, they're not feeling too much pain yet with this GNex delay. At least not from the general public not in-the-know.
 
I think I need to tap out of this thread. I check it way too often only to get let down time after time. It's no one in the threads fault or anything, but it's just to depressing to hear all of this, then being told I have to wait. I'll be getting the phone when it comes out, but It might be best for my mental state to ditch the thread entirely.

I agree, but that in a nutshell is why you don't believe rumors...and let's face it, without there having been a single official VZW press release on the launch date, these were and remain all rumors.

My mistake this time was not taking my own advice I was often criticized for "don't buy into any of these rumors until VZW makes it official". That has yet to happen.

True, and I've said time and time again that my sister's info is hearsay and may very well be BS. She's not the CEO. I even said yesterday that she was telling me it would be this week and I still didn't believe it.

So, I just post what she says because people want me to, but it should by no means be taken as anything near official. It's just an added insight, that's all.
