Been there, done that, still want the nexus.
If that is a copy/paste, it is a misspelled one.
thought I almost had me a nexus today....
I walked into a corporate store and quietly asked on of the SA's if I could buy a nexus. She told me she new nothing about it and to come back. I told her that I knew they had some in stock and it should be out tomorrow because i'm all over the web. She smiled and jokingly asked if I was baiting her, she obviously knew what I was talking about. So I told her I just drove 2 hours because I live in the boonies and am switching from ATT as I showed her my POS SE K850I candybar. She must of felt bad for me because she said she would go try her manager. When she came back with a disappointed look I immediately knew the answer. She told me that right now there is now release date and that I didn't have to drive back 2hrs tomorrow.
Do the salesmen get any extra incentives when they switch someone over from ATT?
How long does porting take?

Negative. I hate the Moto screen and the feel.
The Zound is nice, but after 20 months with my Dinc I am ready for a Sense free UI.
Glad you like your choice.

You mean one that has a PenTile screen, lacks any microSD slot, only has a 5MP camera, and can't do USB media-storage connections?

Continuing my convo from before:
Matt: Ah darn! What about tomorrow? Will it be available in stores? I heard stores have them in stock, ready to sell!
Kristopher: No official word, so still no unofficial word either.
Matt: What do you mean?
Kristopher: We haven't been told when it is coming.
Matt: Oh okay. Is there a chance that it could be released tomorrow still, since the stores have them in stock?
Kristopher: Yes there is a chance.
Kristopher: Where did you read about stores having them tomorrow?
Matt: I have heard from some store employees over the phone that they received shipments either today or yesterday of them.
Eh, take it FWIW, prolly means nothing. I feel like I know more than the CSR's. Sorry I'm bored, I want my Nexus.
Little bit of humour from the CSR:
Kristopher: No, I don't. But I have had people telling me for the last 10 days that employees in stores had told them it was tomorrow....
Kristopher: every tomorrow since last tuesday.
LMAO nice!

Chiming in with my VZ visit. Nothing big or new to add.
Two reps were waiting by the door. I asked about the GN. First guy immediately says with a poker face "no information." The 2nd guy couldn't hide a smile and said to check back tomorrow, almost hinting at something. Now I know they're one of the last to know, and I'm having very low expectations, but I'm swinging by tomorrow morning just in case.

Good luck tomorrow everyone....nite, nite.

I'm not buying the fact that Verizon is pushing off the Nexus in order to increase sales of the RZs anymore. I think at this point, if anything, it's hurting the sales of those phones that people are waiting for this one to come out. Who knows, someone waiting for the Nexus may have gone to the store a month ago if it were released then, played with the Nexus, and decided it wasn't for them and ended up going with a Razr. Let's face it, this phone isn't for everyone, where as the Razr and Rezound are geared for a more wide reaching audience.
Instead, Verizon is losing potential sales not only for the Nexus, but for those other phones as well once people can compare the 3 and find out what is really for them. It also seems like people have gotten so frustrated, that they are ditching Verizon entirely and leaving for ATT or another provider. Verizon needs to come to their senses and realize the smart business move would be to release this phone as soon as possible, so all the people holding on to their money waiting for this phone will come in and spend it on something.

I'm not sure if you realized this or not, but the user is rocking the phone back and forth. He's demonstrating that the camera has a stabilizer built in. The phone is trying to correct a shaky image.

IMHO, the flooding of Droid Razr adds means that the i515 release is imminent.

Sarcasm?

I've liked all Pentile displays so far (Bionic yes) I don't care for an SD Card, the Camera is poor but its not something i use often, and I don't care if there is a fancy name for placing files onto my phone as long as i can do it

It may work on Verizon (I don't know if it does though), but you'll be stuck with 3G. 4G/LTE won't work.

Matt: Lol I have been hearing the same thing
I keep getting let down! I just want this phone!
Kristopher: It's so funny about 11:30 every nite the site spikes by about 10k more, as if they are gathering to see if the white smoke is released announcing the election of Pope Galaxy of the Nexus.
Matt: Lmao oh my god that is Hilarious!
