I-O!

Love Columbus too, the growth of the city over the last 10 years has been incredible. The independent art and foodie scenes are exploding.


Off topic (OSU Football & Basketball)
Very excited about Urban, but it's basketball season now. Ready to see us kick some Jayhawk butt tomorrow.

Going to be the most watched bowl game between two 6-6 teams ever.

The impact he's already made in recruiting will make sure OSU dominates the big ten for years, need conference success to turn into national success though. Think he can do it.

Here's to hoping Sully can play tomorrow!
 
I have zero desire for a Razr or D4 or ANYTHING htc. My only contingency plan is the iPhone if the Nexus keeps getting pushed and pushed.
 
I've been following this thread for a while, my first time posingt here. I thought I would share what I was told at my local verizon store today (not a corporate store). the Manager told me his wearhouse received their shippment in today, and the store will be receiving them on Monday. He told me that he will be able to sell them as soon as he has them in.

I work next to the store, and I know the manager fairly well, so I don't think he would flat out lie to me, but he may jsut be misinformed about being able to sell them immediately...

Either way I'll be back there at 9 on Monday morning...


Welcome and thanks for the info!
 
guys and gals i win.

I revoke this statement, i found my old smoke signal kit...

Mine is waiting for AT&T or Sprint to get it, then jump Verizon's ship. This is ridiculous.
 
I'm surprised there wasn't some kind of notification to the salesperson when they scanned the UPC. Like special ops rapelling out of helicpoters and crashing through the windows...the way they've ferociously tried to protect details on this release.

LMAO! Wow someone did get one today I didn't think it would happen. Good on you to return it Sam.
 
SamMax if you haven't returned the phone yet, I'd call up Verizon (but don't give the store you purchased it from's information) and ask why you would be sold a phone, and ask for a reason why you need to return it.

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.

You should tell them no, you cannot return it, but yes, it will blend...

I'm with everyone above in not returning it unless VZW can give you REALLY good reasons to do so. I also agree this needs publicized BIG TIME! Would also like to see a few more sales sneak out and get publicized. Any reason this thing is being held up is probably a legal CYA and they should be legally liable if they didn't cover things a LONG time ago at this point.
 
All of this is fine, and I'm sure from your point of view it just plain sucks to see someone walk when they are clearly guilty. However I'd rather see ten guilty people walk than see one innocent person wrongfully convicted. That's just me though.

You probably wouldn't feel the same if one of those 10 robbed, assaulted, or murdered a member of your family. I do see your point, but you have to see the other side as well.

I don't even HAVE a contingency plan...I haven't even given a thought to which phone I would get if the nexus wasn't available because I've been grappling for any bit of news or information related to this phone since speculation at the beginning of the year. This has been the phone I was going to get since at least May. I'm going to wait for it...but I'm not going to like it, and they better not even THINK about scrapping it.
 
Now if I could just get telesales to sell me a stinking phone!


Any chance we could get a pic, with a ruler or something in the background, showing the difference in thickness between the OEM and extended battery back covers?

Curious as to the real difference.

Thanks!
 
You Guys...

Do NOT Return it.. You crazy bro? Think about all the CSR's that let people order the rezound early and shipped... That could have been traced very easy as well to who processed the order.. They could have lost their jobs.. Who knows....

Didnt see a bunch of people posting to have them return their phones... Why? Because someone you met face to face could lose their job is different then someone losing their job you just talked too??

If I had gotten the phone today, I'd walk in to every place they sold verizon phones and be like look guy. it was released today..

You all yell and complain about verizon for not giving info and then when someone gets something through a loophole your sorry about it.
 
Look at the bright side about the 15th date, we get to enjoy the amazing spectacle that is The_Chief's day countdown method! What do we have Chief, 4.21 days?

Oh and with that:

Anyone else besides me hitting refresh hoping to hear the result of Sam re-visiting the store?
He needs a play by play friend with him to not only witness the transaction, but to post what's happening as it happens. Geez what is this the 20th century? I want a live stream video darn it.
 
I wouldn't call them lies, they are just reporting what they have been told. But I wouldn't call it fact either.

"Target" seems like an appropriate word to use with any rumored dates from now on.

I couldn't agree more. I think part of the reason we're in the shape we are is because everybody is dropping the words "official" and "confirmed" left and right. It wouldn't hurt for everyone to look up the definition of these words.
 
NO NO NO NO NO! Sharpie looks fake, but this would put it before end of year.

Rumor: Verizon Galaxy Nexus coming 12/31? | Android and Me

Just like I wouldn't believe a picture of a cardboard box with handwritten "Street Date 12/9/11", I'm not putting any faith into a picture of a cardboard box with handwritten "Street Date 12/31/11". It's a picture...of a cardboard box...with writing on it. There's nothing there to even remotely suggest that this is legit.
