I know I posted it earlier but remember that there is supposed to be some big meeting this morning to discuss the device.

I am sure there will be some info from the meeting. I have a hunch we will see a PR today with a date, but it may not be the date (tomorrow) that we wall want to see. I guess its just more waiting and speculating and chit-chat today. All of which I am extremely okay with.

So glad to be back with you guys!

I have that same feeling as well but it's not nearly as strong as I would like.

You mean delaying a phone who's date was never announced. Verizon has officially announced their carrying of the phone just not a release date.

Verizon also announced that they were releasing the Nexus One; two years ago! Announcing the carrying of the phone does not mean that the phone will even happen!

If i remember correctly they said they were in talks for the Nexus One and planned to carry it. While I understand your sentiment I don't agree. There has been a huge, almost unprecedented amount of press about this phone being on Verizon. Every party involved has confirmed the carrier will have the phone.
 
Called a local store, and they were completely willing to sell me a RAZR, so they can at least activate 4G phones. Wouldn't give me any info on the Nexus though.

I seem to remember someone saying that today's meeting was supposed to be at 11 EST, so perhaps we'll hear more then?

I just got off the phone with VZW (getting my upgrade date change to tomorrow rather than January 29, I could use an early upgrade but I'd lose the discount) and she put on hold for a few minutes. After coming back she got my upgrade date changed and said the GNex will be available tomorrow. I asked her about it again to verify and she said yes, it will be available tomorrow.

When you get right down to it, Verizon never technically lied to us, that's true. We can't be angry at them for that. But to send out an internal equipment guide saying December 9 and then reneging (apparently), to constantly be pushing the date back (apparent from internal leaks), and to insist on exclusivity in the U.S. while making us watch the entire world (Canada this morning) get the damn thing before any of us, it just smacks of stupidity.

So we can't attack them for lying to us, but we can definitely be awestruck and their utter stupidity and inability to just launch a damn phone in a timely manner.

So you are correct, good find. Should ease the minds of the doomsday cancellation worriers .

Scratch that, for some reason when you search for galaxy nexus it returns results for "Droid". Check the boldest words in the results. Stupid VZW.

Guess I'm just one of the old guys that got ON the techonolgy bandwagon in the 80's instead of fighting to get OFF!!

Was dockmaster at Pensacola NAS for 11 years and had a bunch of ships and crewmembers I was stationed with come thru. Better view form the pier!! lol

Rock on

Actually no, I don't believe there was any official statement from Verizon indicating they will be carrying the Nexus One. It showed up on Google's nexus page, and Google also indicated they were working to bring it to Verizon before finally axing the whole thing in favor of the Droid Incredible.

I hate when people say this. That doesn't mean we can't get upset. They need to control their leaks or something. We don't hear anything from Apple for the whole year, but when they announce something, it's out the next week. No delays.
