Hi guys figure I'd chime in without interrupting too much lol... I been following this phone launch and this forum for a few weeks. Here's the twist... I'm an iphone user on ATT. This phone is so compelling I'm staying up hours every night to scan updates and paying my early contract fee to leave ATT and get this phone the day it comes out. This is from a guy who has been with ATT for 9 years with unlimited data grandfathered, and only used iphone for 3 years... This phone IS A BIG DEAL!

Wow it sure is! Welcome here dizzll enjoy your stay it shouldn't be too much longer :)
 
Didn't really have much new info to provide.

I did however go into both of the verizon stores here in my town (in uniform lol) to ask both my guys about the rumor of stores shipping them back (he/she assumes to the storage facility). Basically there is truth to this rumor. He's the one that shipped them back. To include the demo unit. At that point I started to read him Miranda.....
One of my guys says next week. The other (which Ive known longer) told me honestly dont hold my breath. He wouldn't be surprised if they cancel all together.
Those were his words

Fast forward to 02:21 hours. I get a text from the other guy (works corp store). Tells me to tell my guys that he has rescheduled our appointments for next Friday at 09:00 hours.
He will let me know if something changes either way sooner or another delay, but wants to make sure I am in at 09:00.

Third party doesn't mean anything until it happens. But passing along what I know.

And when the Nexus was announced it might have been fun to speculate or look for rumors, but right now it is kind of pointless. I don't think anybody knows when they will give the green light, not even Verizon themselves. And it's not as simple as "their website changed" or "the current sale ends on 12th" anymore. There's no schedule for release anymore.

When they can release, they will release. And there will be much rejoicing. But until then, sitting tight and knowing that it has to be sooner rather than later will have to be good enough. :)

There's definitely some merit to what you're saying here. The problem is... in that case, what's the point of this thread? I think a lot of us are here not because we actually think we are productively accomplishing something, but because the speculation (while fully recognizing that that is all it is, speculation) is fun.

I can certainly see why some might have grown weary of all the ups and downs, and why it might not be fun for them anymore. But, again, if we aren't trying to jointly read the entrails of the Verizonbeast, then what (other than OT posts) would we have to say until we hear from VZW themselves?

I, for one, enjoy this thread quite a bit, and am not quite ready to see it die...

Not trying to attack you at all or anything like that, so I hope you don't take offense. Just offering my two cents.

OT:

[Hide]To run with the big dogs in Houston/DFW, you need to be running 1000hp+ pretty much. When you have Mustangs coming out with 650hp right off the showroom floor (2013 GT500), you know it's become a hotrodders heaven.[/Hide]

Yegods, none of my 'Stangs ever had anything close to that. <slinks away in shame>

Haha you've got me beat, I don't have the disposable income to even own a Mustang right now, much less mod one. Can't imagine the rush that 1000hp has to be.

BTW, most of the cars making that 1000 aren't Mustangs haha, it's a big money show for the most part. Lots of turbo'd Vipers, Vettes, Gallardos and such. There are a number of 1000+ Mustangs running around, but definitely the HUGE majority, even among the modding community, are less than 600hp.
 
Maybe I misread the previous posts talking about the URL being a blank page, or maybe it is just client side for me right now, but I dont even get a blank page

shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=Samsung%20Nexus

"Firefox failed to find the server...etc"
 
Maybe i should be more positive...I received my TPU case in the mail today and was able to hold that in my hand---and it felt good.

I'll just try to remain positive...TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Welcome aboard!
 
VZW exec#1 to VZW exec#2: Hey frank, where does this go?

VZW exec#2: What is is?

VZW exec#1: It says "Nexus"

VZW exec#2: What!? That can't be right? Surely it says "Droid" on it right?

VZW exec#1: No, It reads "Nexus" What do we do with it?

VZW exec#2: I have no clue? Its got to be a mistake. We only deal with "Droid"

VZW exec#1: So, what do we do with them?

VZW exec#2: We should ask the manager:

VZW exec#2 to manager: Hey, what should we do with this "Phone" that reads "Nexus?"

VZW manager: You mean it reads "Droid"

VZW exec#1&2, nope "Nexus"

VZW manager: Ugh, um... Uh, Quick, its a mistake, shove them in a non descript box and hide them!

VZW exec#1: Uh... what!? :eek:

VZW manager: Yeah, its got to be a mistake, I have NO idea what a "Nexus" is, its got to be another carriers box. So, quick, box them up and hide them or dump them off at retailers with a note that says do not open until we find out what do with these non droid branded phones.

VZW exec#1 to VZW exec#2 & manager: Im scared man, its a non droid phone and according to the internet these phones don't have an encrypted bootloader! If we sell these, people may get used to the fact they can legaly hack their phones and daddy moto will not like that. Lets get these friggin things out of here!!

After the stock is loaded up and dumped at local retailers, all three VZW workers show back up to work, go to the break room, curl up in a ball sucking their thumbs and crying at the horror of dealing with a non moto flagship phone :eek:

As far as my local wireless carrier is concerned I can have my phone at 9am tomorrow...I live in a very small town, and if the mail man on his horse and buggy don't get to them in time with the telegram letting them know Verizon delayed it, I should be good.

Quoting you but this is directed at anyone this applies to.
If you get a phone tomorrow PLEASE PLEASE photograph the phone on (live) and your receipt (not blurry) [preferably in the same image file] this will be instrumental to the rest of us attempting to get a phone tomorrow if we have some evidence to show while we are saying:
'come on, other people around the country are already getting theirs. Your other [radioshack/costco/corp store/whatever] stores in [city,state] has already jumped the gun.'
