I just got back from my local best buy. He confirmed they had them but said after those few this morning he got a call that they cannot sell them or show them. He said it sounded like they got in hot water over it. He was real cool and said that we 'androidforums.com' would know first. He mentioned this thread by name lol...

So unfortunately looks like I've got to wait

I haven't had a chance to get by any stores to see if there are display models. Have you had the chance to hold one? I haven't been on the forum much in the past few days so I don't know who ha gotten lucky and who hasn't.
Anyway, looks like I will be seeing you at the corp store on the 15th. BTW when I went to Best Buy a few weeks ago the guy tried to tell me not to get the Gnex:rolleyes:

Hey cggorman, I'm not sure if it has already been answered, but can you please tell me what it shows when you log into My Verizon and see your phone? Thanks!

Good question! I guess VZW really isn't playin' since the site doesnt recognize the Nex... :D

Radioshack guy called me back, said he had ONE phone to sell, then he said he would find out if he could sell it to me today and call me back...................I knew the answer already cuz he's been calling his "Verizon Rep".

He said the 15th it is...............


Can someone post the email address Verizon has been sending the fliers for 100 off a 4g phone? Or the address we can email?
Click to expand...

I have been on the look out my mail for one of these, but so far no luck. Does anyone know how to get one? I'd be much more patient in waiting for the nexus if it meant another $100 off!

Okay I successfully got the discount added to my account and posted the info yesterday, here is a link to the post

http://androidforums.com/3621974-post76006.html

If you are interested in the actual email I sent to Verizon to get the discount it was short and simple



No negotiating or anything, they just added it to my account, although when I went to a premium reseller yesterday they could not see anything listed, but then again it was the same day as it was put on the account.

I just called VW and the rep claims to have put the credit on my acct which she says will come off my bill not off the price of the phone. Also she said to look at possibly tomorrow for GNex ... FWIW!!!!

How is the screen compared to the Rezound and iPhone?
Click to expand...

Haven't spent a lot of time with the Rezound, only about 10 minutes at a VZW store. Compared to the RAZR, Nexus blows it out of the water. I spent the last 5 minutes comparing the 4S and the Nexus and they are very very similar. We looked at google images and chose the same image and would compare colors.

This was one of the test images we looked at: http://colorvisiontesting.com/plate with 5.jpg
At least with my laptop as the control, the colors were more accurate on the 4S. The Nexus, if I had to say, seemed a bit more saturated. The greens in that image really really popped and were bright.

When you tilt the screen from facing straight at you, there is a slight blue-ish hue to the screen - nothing major
 
make that a 3rd guy from BB today over at AC.....this one in Serman Oaks, CA

Got mine from best buy Sherman oaks CA. It was a hassle but they did the sku swap with the razr as well.

What email did you sent it to? Do you have their address?

Thanks for the pics and vids. Which photos to you are the more realistic in terms of actual color - the iPhone or the Galaxy Nexus? The colors are brighter in the iPhone pics, but from what I'ver heard from comparisons the colors are enhanced and aren't "realistic".
Click to expand...

In my opinion, I think the 4S has better pictures. But something is to be said with the Nexus taking pictures the instant you press the button. Instant. I find this to be very useful and worth the less sharp pictures. I say that only because I have a nice Canon G11 that I use as my main camera. The phone for me is more for spontaneous pictures or times when I don't have my camera with me

EllieN said:
SCOTT!! no no no no no no no no! Take a step back!! How are you going to feel in ..i dont know, january when we all have the nexus and you're stuck with a razor for two years? Just wait it out with us!! you will NOT be disappointed when it comes out and if you don't have it by Saturday just put your phone in your pocket and try not to think about it all day, haha. But really, you need to keep going with us. Do it for us, scott, for US. It's two years scott. two years with the razor or a nexus. why would you chose a razor? It's probably an awesome phone but NEXUS, SCOTT. NEXUS. Don't pull a move youre going to regret! Whats another 5 days? Or even...two weeks i that's what it takes. It's for two years! PLEASE SCOTT!

Scott. Nooooo. What would your piano teacher who's a top executive at Samsung who can provide leaks think of you? You have to get one, don't "settle"
Click to expand...

I have very good reason to believe it will come on the 15th, but I don't know if I can wait any longer than that. I know I'll be real upset if I don't wait it out but Verizon had a promise that they would make an announcement this year and if it doesn't come out on the 15th, I'll be done with the whole ordeal, because I'm tired of waiting!

How's the LTE performance (and signal strength in general) and visibilty of the screen outdoors ? Btw the iphone camera looks better but both phones seem to have very limited dynamic range.
Click to expand...

At my house, LTE is currently 92ms ping, 7.30 Mbps download and 1.97 Mbps upload. It was faster on the RAZR. I have one bar of LTE whereas the RAZR when I rented it was much faster. However, about a mile down the road, when I tested it out 2 hours ago gave me: 99ms ping, 23.54 Mbps down and 18.80 Mbps up. The second result was more like what I was getting on the RAZR at my house.

It may be that the LTE radio isn't picking up the signal as well? I do not know, I just know that at my house it is not as quick and the signal is not as fast as the RAZR was. But in a stronger area they were the same.

@Dazedniteman - I have the exact same sony surround tuner lol... that thing is like 10 years old, i still have the original speakers and subwoofer.
Click to expand...

Haha! That's awesome! It's actually my roommates. My speakers are upstairs. I have some Bose speakers that are about 8 years old. I've been looking and waiting to get some nice floorstanding speakers to pair with that 46" Samsung that I have.
