Actually, nobody ever said it wasn't the 9th.

They changed it to "coming soon" the 9th is soon no? It just gave them the opportunity/option to delay it from the 9th. It doesn't mean they did.

Did I miss something from Verizon that said it will not be the 9th?

Or is that just an assumption?

you are assuming the person that writes the messages follows the rules of formal logic. Most of the time people do not. So when people change the date from Friday to whenever, it means not Friday. Unless there is evidence that the person 1 knows the rules and 2 is careful in choosing words to obey those rules. Is it safer to assume 1 and 2 or to assume that the person is like most everyone else?
 
Just attempted my first call to do the Unlimited Hotspot/Data trick....failed. Going to shower and then call again and hope I get a better rep...
 
If authorized resellers who "didn't get the message" release it on Friday, then it's going to FORCE Verizon's hand. This taffy-pull of a release may very well happen on Friday as VZW discovers resellers pushing units out and then message their stores with a simple "Sell! Sell! Sell!"

OR: Resellers will sell the phones on Friday but VZW won't activate any of them. Either way, Verizon has the potential of looking worse than they do now.

Let's just hope the delay IS network-based, 4G gets fixed tomorrow, and Friday is Launch Day. :)

I picked up a couple of cases too and couldn't find that one in any stores around me. Do you have have the part number or SKU for that one? Thanks!!

Do you really want/need something that big? I'm coming from a BB Tour with an Otterbox case (same style as the "double cover") and it really adds significant bulk. Pretty sure I do no want to go that route again if the TPU case provides adequate protection.
 
Just got home from Humbabe practice....any new info since about 1:30 today or is VZW still pissing in everyone's cornflakes???? :D

Well the newest screenshots linked in that article were still the ones showing the D4 as 12/8 and Nexus as 12/9. Alas they also said White RAZR on 12/6 so are obviously not fully correct.

I really don't believe any of what I am posting here much and am just adding speculation with all the rest. I could see D4 and White RAZR orders/promises to Moto as a reason to delay the Nexus though. It's pretty obvious soft/quiet launching the Nexus will do nothing to slow it's sales share in relation to the Droid line. At this point though they are putting customers on the line if they wait much longer to launch it. AT&T should see the Note soon and we've heard plenty of stories of peeps getting unlimited AT&T plans if'n they will jump ship.

I just hung up with my local Costco. I asked the lady when the Nexus would be going on sale. She said Friday morning. I then went on to ask her if she had heard anything about the delay. She said she was aware of the delay rumors, as was her manager, but they were still planning on selling the phone Friday morning.

Sounds like Verizon has yet to contact all retailers. The only question is will they get around to contacting all of them before business hours on Friday. Fingers crossed.

But what difference does it make if you get the phone but can't activate it? :confused:

The double case does not add much bulk at all. i had one on the iphone and the thickness it adds is less than the tpu cases. The otterbox is way thicker than the double case please do a google search. smh

FWIW I was straight up honest with the rep and told her I needed to snake into an unlimited data plan and I heard that this is the way to do it. She laughed and put me on hold for 5 minutes while she contacted tech support and they got it put on there for me. Tell them you want the 30 dollar MHS that isn't listed online but you know it's possible to get it.

Well, i dont think that Verizon can block the phones from activating, for those of us with old sim cards we can use/cut. I think on CDMA it can be blocked, but i think the card gets activated and the phone gets sold.
