January 5th release (it's a Thursday, that's how I came up with the date
). We'll easily reach 120,000.-

If that's true, what's wrong with that. Corporations are in business to make profits.
Also, if the delay is due primarily to help sell other phones, what's wrong with that if that motive meets VZ's overall objective to make more profits? In other words, why should our general impatience outweigh corporate objectives?
Nope, no speculation whatsoever. Samsung and Google announced the Galaxy Nexus, very publicly, without first securing a commitment from Verizon for a launch. No part of that is speculative.
It doesn't matter what was going on with Verizon -- maybe they've been fixing bugs, maybe they've been trying to work out their release schedule, maybe the dog ate their homework. The point is, Verizon wasn't ready to release, but Samsung and Google announced anyway. And ever since then, people have been blaming Verizon for "delays," when Verizon never said they were ready to begin with.

Totally feel the same way you do. More than likely I'll go back to the iPhone 5 when it's released next year. Currently using the 4S, but like the bigger screen size. Hoping the iPhone 5 is around the 4" mark which is what I think it will be and is an ideal size.

Not mine, I always assumed it wouldn't release until the end of December. Even in January, to me, it will still be THE phone to have. It's a Nexus phone. It's not about specs.

I was just thinking about that. What about the guy who said he would mail out phones to people so that they got them on Friday?

While I can see you point, I wish people would stop denying that an official launch date was issued yesterday. It was official and that's that. These weren't rumors or leaks or anything like that. Verizon employees across the country were officially provided with launch dates and permitted to communicate those dates to their customers. These are representative of the company, just like any other representative and they were backed by Verizon to start the sales process (i.e. reserve phone, make appointments, ect.). Even if it was a computer glitch, Verizon has now made an official misstatement to it's customers and they should at least step up to the plate and admit their error.

They already have with the LG phone they introduced this past Sunday. LTE, HD IPS screen. Supposed to be pretty nice, might want to check it out.

If this "delay" is true I'll be very disappointed, but I feel more like laughing hysterically than screaming angrily. I can't believe the apparent failure to seemlessly deliver this high profile product to market. It really gives the impression of incompetence across the board.
But, I'm more upset about the flow of information or lack thereof. VZW was quick to jump on the bad PR they received over the Google Wallet flap recently. They realize "we" are out here in the dark, yet they say nothing. This bothers me most.

ATT just released the LG Nitro with a 720p ips display and lte.
If your talking about "abbey" turned out "he/she" was telling a little white lie
Folks should keep that in mind, we are dealing in general with salespeople. I don't think I've EVER met a completely honest one. (feel free to use any variation of your favorite lawyer joke)

How is a delay a delay when there wasnt an announcement?

Not really a kickstand. More like a piece you can rest lean the phone on...
like a cheap dock.
I can get pics but not til later. Not by case anymore.
Thank you for the response.
Judging by the posts today, if T-Mobile is so much worse than Verizon, they must be really, really bad.
I guess I may just wait a little while and see what happens. The cost difference is rather large.
Galaxy Nexus on Verizon:
450minutes+1000 texts+ 4gb data=39.99+10+30+taxes=about $90, times 24 months=
$2,160+$299 for the phone is a total of $2,459
Galaxy Nexus unlocked on T-Mobile=
$30 per month times 24 months+$730 for the phone = $1,450
Is Verizon $1000 better than T-Mobile?
(Not that it is worth anything, but I really do feel bad for all of you, I am not even their target audience and I was excited about this phone, but with the delays and lack of information I can see how frustrating this is.)

Truelove... I was ready to beat you down yesterday with all of the negativity. Couldn't believe that you wouldn't accept all of the rumors and intell about 12/9. My apologies... you were correct to doubt anything until we actually see phones exchanged for money.

Just got off the phone with the corp. store I have an appointment for on Friday and she said Friday is still a go. I asked if she heard anything about it getting delayed, and she said she hasn't heard anything and told me they have stock and I have my name on one for Friday.
