Amplifying info: the person who answered the phone apparently could understand what was on the screen in front of him and he had to call a co-worker over for help. Also, I did not volunteer anything about Friday, just asked when I'd be able to purchase. I've got to use my phone recording app more often so I can catch those subtle hints. I'll call again tomorrow to make sure.

fyi, recording phone calls without permission from the other party is illegal in some states. Check local laws. Just sayin

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

The one I have on my Charge really made it feel bulky for me. I've seen the iPhone ones which is why I wanted one. I feel like the squareness of the ip4 works in favor of the case and keeping it slimmer. But the rounded styling of the Charge felt thick. It's thicker than the TPU case I got today.

Just shows you, when it comes to feel/build/cases, certain things really are personal preference. :)

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.

FWIW it will be smaller then my rezound now in otterbox case
 
**4g Outage**

I'm in San Diego, Ca and 4g is down here and 3g is cutting out every minute or so. Stuck on the wifi's for a while.

Has anyone asked for their $1.01 bill credit for lost service?

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.

Can you really modify a full size sim to work in a micro one? I don't entirely understand how a sim card works....
 
just got my diztronics TPU case.

1) This case is really sexy and the pics on amazon don't do it justice

2) wow, if the case is anything to go by, then the nexus isn't nearly as gigantic as some would have you believe
 
i read somewhere the outage should be fixed by midnight... maybe that's pst? either way if service is restored, vzw tests out nexus connectivity. passes. announces to release on friday. Everyone is happy. hurray?

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 sincerely enjoy the way you're interpreting this info. I second your rationale, MAKE IT SO!
 
Only thing I worry about Friday is that in the email supposedly sent from corporate it said it was delayed. Otherwise I tend to agree with the network issues being the cause.
 
Im sure this has been posted, but looks like P3 is throwing in the towel? Or windsock'in

The p3droid will be disappearing soon, some have complained enough that I'm now the subject of an investigation. Choi see u on the other side.

Oh god I can hear the groans of a thousand VZW representatives in the future:

Thank you for answering my call. Please hold, a customer will be with you shortly. This call may be monitored for CUSTOMER Quality Assurance.

Thats what everyone is hoping. It seems to be isolated though because some have no issues and some with a nexus are not having issues either.

Yeah you can mod them. I have my wifes micro sim from her Razr to use as a mockup. I want to use it because I have contacts stored there that arent on my google contacts :mad: Im going to use hers as a template.
 
Wouldn't it just be the perfect irony if Verizon does launch this phone on Friday? I mean, after all the prior leaks that weren't explicitly refuted but just passed away in silence, to now have a leaked launch that seems to be refuted. Maybe I'm alone in my thinking, but I would ALMOST find it comical if Verizon actually launches the phone the one time I'm not expecting them to.
 
OK, crazy theory.

There have been a couple rumors about a VZW rollout to update LTE. Kind of stupid to do this without a PR, but who knows. Maybe it's a scheduled rollout, and they had a few hiccups (Obviously), and they pulled back until they iron out the kinks.

People, you MUST think realistically! If Verizon truly delayed the phone due to bugs we would NEVER see this phone. There is a point where they will push the phone out now and worry about bugfixes later. Hell, the iPhone 4S had battery life issues but Apple didn't postpone the phone release because of that.

And seriously, why do people assume the change of "12/9" to "coming soon" to be bad? Maybe they saw it was leaked and changed it so reps wouldn't tell any more customers...

Sorry, I'm being really optimistic now, but I'm also being really reasonable right now.

Very true. Also to add (because I have mentioned I work retail).The first thing I do or my coworkers do at ANY job is read the email to see if there is a new thing we need to do that morning. The building of a display would only take 5-10 minutes to put out a demo phone power it on and place signage.
If corp stores fail there is still hope I have for RadioShack, Costco, Sams (someone did mention sams club right? right?) to blindly sell the phone and ignore memos, thinking they still need to go ahead and sell on the 9th as they have been told. Heck I bet one of those companies will not have had their bigwigs send out an email to not sell.
Failing all this we still have a possible go ahead on Sunday for Best Buy. I will be willing to bet Best Buy still goes ahead with the release. I will be double betting (BB sales people do not get commission) that I could throw $20 a sales person's way to make it worth their while to pretend they didnt see an email come in. Yeah that's unethical, but so was delaying the phone due to bugs that don't anymore exist.
I know what I have listed could be slightly painful for some, due to loyalty discounts you may have coming up but for many of us we want the phone and don't care what it takes at this point for us to get it.
