Yoyoyo
Obligatory was a lurker, have decided to say hi post.
What's up? This thread has consumed many many hours of my life since its creation, it's only right that I would post. I've been talking about this phone so much, that even my fiancee has admitted to checking here for updates.
It has been a roller coaster, hopefully we will all have our phones soon.

I did not want to say this ,But here it is;

If if the problem is not settled, VZW is going to send the Nexus back to the manufacture and they will be done with it.:(

I don't see this happening...Verizon has too much at stake.

Verizon would be sending a phone back because they can't block an application due to the provisions of the Bandwidth they bought.

And if Verizon says it's something else...it's Verizon vs. Google/Samsung.

Verizon will take a huge PR hit...they will cave and enable Wallet.
 
I'd tell them I can't make it back to the store unitl the 15th....




I kid, I kid!!!!!!! :D:D

No way. Verizon paid all that money for exclusivity and had it shipped to atore they are not going to lose all that money for nothing.

LOL at any rep claiming that the 4G outage was the cause of the delay. How convenient that the Galaxy Nexus has to be delayed due to the brief outage, but the Droid XYBoard (with 4g) launches right on schedule.

Let's look at this logically....how many of those XOOM 2s are actually going to sell?

How about these $0.10 apps? ADW EX, SwiftKey, airsync, great little war game. Some fantastic apps. Skipped my morning coffee and picked up a handful of apps.

I was thinking about getting ADW EX but then again, would I use it with the Gnex? Has anyone made up their mind on whether or not to use a launcher? I'll miss a lot of things LauncherPro gives me but I've decided to go with stock for a while once I get the Gnex and see how it works out.
 
ALSO SamMax, make sure this gets leaked to all the major blogs that you had this phone today, take a picture of the phone ON the 4g network with a date if possible.

And please keep the store information confidential if you worry about their liability.

We said the same thing for the Nexus One (although admittedly it wasn't an exclusive). Verizon caved and instead asked people to purchase a bloated, updates-from-Verizon Droid variety.

OMG SamMax! Could you tell us what the process of buying a GNex was like? Did they have any idea they weren't supposed to sell?!
Click to expand...

Scott I'm sure it was the same process as buying any other phone... If they had an idea that they weren't supposed to sell it than I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have it...

Stop being such a 15 year old :p

I think you should make sure people include @verizon in their tweeting of #vzwnexusfail . Doesn't help if it isn't linked to the people failing.

it might, once it gets trending they will feel forced to acknowledge it. everyone help the cause!!

It's only $0.10. Might as well buy it anyway.

Yeah, but the weather suxs almost as much as the launch of the Nexus. I need to get somewhere warm.

No kidding. The worst years of my life were spent in Columbus. I took a pay cut in a recession to transfer out of there. I cried when the deal fell through. Luckily, I found a better job down south a few weeks later.

Every time I see someone wearing OSU gear, I want to curl up into a ball and shake violently.

All I figured was, it'll be updated to match/exceed ics launcher capabilities, and if not ten cents for a week or so of use isn't bad.

I realize this is a pretty juvinile suggestion, but perhaps you could offer to return it upon the condition they supply you with the actual revised release date.

I would return the phone if the salesperson made a mistake. Jobs are hard to come by, specially in IN. BUT, your in a bargaining position, I'd be walking out wit a boat load of accessories or an upgrade to unlimited MHS....You need an agent? Tell them the local news station is very interested in the first person in the US to purchase a new Nexus......lol
