Well, that's it....Time to go get a ReZound. If RadioShack falls through for me I'm officially done.
Of course with my Droid Charge that was normal behavior with a properly functioning 4G network. The worst radio I've ever seen.

One nice thing for the lucky ones. (I probably won't be one)
Is I can totally see some CSR "forgetting" about the delay, or just plain ignoring it and selling phones on Friday.
The follow is only my opinion/analysis of available info.
1. It sounds like there are significant LTE Network stability issues.
2. I "think" this the most likely reason for the delay
3. Phones HAVE been shipped and in some cases arrived at stores.
4. 12/9 WAS OFFICIALLY announced to internal employees and retailers
and here where it gets interesting
5. I'm willing to bet phones WILL be sold on Friday. Maybe not a lot be some CSR or re-seller will forget / wouldn't have heard / have a "friend that wants one etc."
this goes even more so for re-sellers that have promised phones to people. They'll just say it was a mistake because of last minute change in plans...
If that was the case unless they halt all sales of lte devices that is not an excuse to use IMO.

Thats only IF it's software related though. We're hearing LTE issues, it might not even be an issue with the phone itself. VZW could just be having some LTE outages and just doesn't feel comfortable with releasing an LTE phone that some people in certain areas (where LTE is having issues) wouldn't be satisfied.

with apple opening up the new grand central station in new york on the 9th, it seems that that very day would be prime combat material to sell the nexus for not combating apple (since verizon carries the iphone), but to double up on sales and dupe other carriers. 
Exactly, I have one phone, and I work for a 24/7 employer (clinical) I NEED my phone to work 99% of the time...
I've tried others nothing comes close to VSW's network. As much as VSW annoys the piss out of me. They don't screw around their network is the best (in the US anyway)

Droid 4 releasing tomorrow with no announcement doesn't fit into anyone's conspiracy theory of them loving their "Droid" line so much.
It can't possibly be true!
(I guess they do still have until the end of the day to announce it/either)
I don't see them releasing any phone that isn't a flip phone or some minor brand budget Android phone with no announcement by at least 1 day. Whether its the Nexus or the Droid 4 or even the Droid 9.

These are made by Incipio (as it says on the front of the box). I have one for my BB 9650. It has a silicone case and then a hard plastic case also. So you can use just the silicone case or also use the hard plastic case for extra protection. It is pretty neat.

But Pyde was wrong. The 9th WAS the internally announced date. Just because they had to delay it until the week of 12/12 last minute doesn't mean Pyde was "right" in saying that week. If not for whatever technical/whatever issue that delayed the 9th release, P3 would have been correct and Pyde would have been wrong.

I can't believe how much this launch is actually affecting my personal and work life. Not to mention my drastic mood changes when bad news is announced. Does this happen to normal people?

The leaked information sent to VZW retail associates said very clearly not to discuss the information. Some have, and continue to violate that, an action that could land them in hot water. If an employee doesn't leak information, some on the internet are upset that they don't, and call location after location, CSR after CSR to try and get information out of them, which you know they are not supposed to provide you - all the while you have the same information they have. Then, when the information potentially changes, even though you were never supposed to have this information, you are upset that it has changed.
Should VZW provide CSRs with info ahead of time? If they do and the info is leaked we continue to call/visit them trying to get them to regurgitate the information they are not supposed to release. If you don't feel the CSRs should get the information ahead of time (so that these things don't occur) then don't get upset with VZW for not providing info.
No person or company is without fault, but this standard of judgment seems a bit rough to comply with.
If VZW doesn't speak we get upset. Perhaps a big part of the reason that information is withheld is so that if anything changes the customers aren't upset.
This post isn't directed to any one person, just a general statement. For months I have been 99% idle on this thread despite the ways of some that have made me shocked with the behavior and actions of fellow humans. I have, until now refrained for two reasons. For one, I do sympathize. We want the device, we have had our hearts set on it, and this sort of thing gets upsetting - I've been there before and I'm there again. The other, and primary reason I have said nothing until now? Because I recognize that no one wins when people argue on the internet, so whats the point? I have nothing to prove to anyone here.
I suppose in my final release of my thoughts I have shown that I am just as fallible as others, and I can only reconcile that knowing that I share my thoughts not to influence others, but in hope that we can all take a deep breath and realize that as much as we really want this sure-to-be awesome device, it's still just a phone and we have waaaay more stake in life than the Nexus Galaxy.
Thanks to everyone for the continued civility and agregation of helpful information. I look forward to more of it, and of course, the Galaxy Nexus.

Nope, keeping the "status quo" is different from a "launch"
