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.

Droid 3 launched without a PR until AFTER it was available for order.

So I'm retracting a previous statement 132330242 was wrong..it should have stated...1323648001 I misread the msg and have to apologize

did anybody bother to convert the new date? i forgot what the format is, what site we used to convert it

They gave the go ahead for CSRs to tell customers friday last night. This is a delay, not some mis-reading of a message. The ONLY thing I will buy is that perhaps Pyde knew something about the length of time for whatever fix was coming, and that is why he was adamant about it not landing till next week. Not because of a date he had recieved, but because he knew better than to accept that date...
 
Meanwhile, all of these people "confirming" a delay are simply translating the change from 12/9 to coming soon on Equipment Guide as a delay. Other than that, it's very unlikely that any of them actually has any concrete information.

Every single one of them is probably looking at the same thing, without any knowledge of the real situation.

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.
Click to expand...

Very true. I'm just not sure an issue with the LTE protocol would have anything to do with the delay of the Gnex since the networking hardware is where a routing issue would reside.

12th to 15th is what I've heard all along. I know we all got psyched up for the 9th, but we never had anything official aside from leaked docs. Never trust in leaked docs. A lesson for all in this thread.
Click to expand...

It was pushed from 12/9 to some future date (who knows when), so 12th to 15th was absolutely incorrect until they had to delay the 9th release. You think they sent out a message to all their employees about the 9th just to turn around and redact that due to a 12/12-12/15 actually launch? Why would they purposely announce an incorrect date? The fact of the matter is, 12/9 probably WAS the release date, but they had to delay it.
 
Off Off Topic When not working or doing "real-life" stuff, this is how i will pass the time and keep my sanity.

So this is how I will be passing the time til we get the Nexus. Feel free to post your Gamer Tag or PM me and lets work the streets and kills some folks on C.O.D. MW3.

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.).
Click to expand...

It's odd you say that, because its clear not every corporate store is run in the same manner.

I've asked about appointments before and they act like I'm crazy. Clearly this isn't something that is in the "All Corporate stores do this" playbook.

Others have posted that they received the same response. "No reserving, no appointments, etc"

I think these stores are taking it on themselves to try to boost their sales by offering such things. Hardly makes it official.
 
Beautiful Tweet Han. I replied to it so i hope he see's mine also. He loves to brag about how much he knows. and now that he is the fake we all knew, he can't get out of it.....HaHa

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.
Click to expand...

Exactly.

So many people, either well intentioned or complete BSers have claimed dates from the 8th, to the 9th, to the 12th, to the 15th, etc, while calling anyone who disagrees with them bald-faced liars or "not in the loop".

The point is that VERIZON very clearly stated December 9 to their employees. It has now changed.

Anyone who says that "such and such a date" was always fixed in stone is either innocently mistaken or an idiot.

URGENT MERCHANDISING UPDATE -

SAMSUNG NEXUS LAUNCH DELAY

The Samsung NEXUS launch has been delayed. It will NOT launch on 12/9 as previously communicated.

HOLD ALL MERCHANDISING ELEMENTS & NEXUS DEMO LAUNCH KIT SHIPMENTS in a safe location until we get the green light to launch.

Planogram names have been updated on applicapble fixtures to reflect "ON HOLD" and will be updated with new launch date once confirmed. A comment has also been added to the note section of each planogram.

Thank you,
XXXXXXXXXXXX (name removed)

Well, there we have it, it is officially a DELAY. Both Pyde and P3 were wrong, Pyde first, and now P3 for trying to imply it was not the 9th all along...
 
I am so pissed right now. I don't want a damn flip phone anymore. What a joke this has turned out to be.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I have just an much "insight" about this phone being released as you do, hence we're on the same forum. Ok, no problem if you don't want to believe they're were in bug in ICS, then what version are we at right now? ICS 4.01 / 4.02, 4.03? Why so many ICS updates when ICS was just announced in Oct and is only currently available on GNEX? My point exactly.
Click to expand...

This is why some are convinced the best approach to this is to go with a sound piece of hardware that's already out and wait for ICS to come to the phone. By that time many of the bugs that are obviously there will be ironed out.

Hard to argue with the logic.

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?
Click to expand...
I've been in a bad mood all morning, can't be a coincidence.

Also, I've just decided to wait. If I'm any two things it's impatient and stubborn. My stubbornness usually wins and has today... can't vouch for tomorrow though. :(

I just realized from chatting last night, Steven may be late today.

I've updated the OP and title as best I saw fit, feedback via PM welcome (so I don't miss it).

Thank you! :)

I say just delete everything after ***. That has always been misleading, unconfirmed info anyway. I don't see why the title has to be a paragraph.

I guess if something absolutely has to there to make it an epic thread, just put "Updated xx/xx/xx"

You're in the right place, I think Nexus-fever has gripped everyone in this thread. I told my girlfriend that the phone might be delayed and she goes, "Ughh, that means even more time lost for you checking that stupid thread." :p

I don't have PS3, but I do have Xbox 360. Any MW3 players on there?

But a lot of us don't want the skins with the other phones. :(
