Okay, so I'm mid-contract. I'm determined to sell my iPhone 4S and get the Galaxy Nexus.
Does anyone have experience with buying from Negri?
Should I pre-order from them or take the risk that I can get the phone on the 15th here in DC?
Any thoughts on benefits of preordering from Negri versus hoping for Dec. 15 on Verizon? If they plan to ship on the 16th I'd assume that they would only do so when it's legally available to ship, right? I don't know...just want to know what's a better plan of action for someone paying full price.
As I understand, Negri plans on shipping their pre-orders the minute they get them in, whether it's officially a "go" or not. Plus you've got the VZsucks coupon, so it seems to me it makes more sense to buy from them than Verizon anyway...

Awesome episode last night! I think there's a big twist in for next week, and since my wife and I saw most of the episodes in a row over like three days, I think I know what it is: (possible spoil alert):
I think Saul is the mole!! He's fluent in Arabic; in episode 5, he said something like "Don't kick my rug" when Carrie nudged it with her foot in his office; and one time he picked up the phone after getting up from the floor and Carrie asked why he was out of breath. He was probably praying.
So he probably slipped the terrorist the razor blade that one time (although I think Brody could have done it too), but I’m sure he definitely warned that terrorist couple that they were being flushed out; Brody had no knowledge of that operation so he couldn’t have warned them. But, does Saul know about Brody? I can’t tell. And something tells me that the vest isn’t for Brody, but probably for someone else.
Edit: Also, he failed the lie detector the first time!
Regardless, this is an awesome show!! One episode left!!
It may not be mentioned in the story, but Verizon understands it is all the grains of salt this forum is taking which has caused this dilemma, and are trying to make it right for those of you who will be affected the most
Yep. If the GN doesn't become available Thursday, I'm probably going to pick up a Rezound then return it when the GN is available. (Trusting that the GN _will_ drop before 1/15).

As drop-resistant as plastic phones are, I don't know if any phone will match the durability of the OG Droid. My friend threw his at a wall (several times) until the top and bottom half were no longer connected besides the cables running between them. Still worked fine with no power/volume buttons and duct taped together for a month or so.
On second though, agree. Also, I figure with all the different stores in the DC region, I'm bound to get to one that will have stock on the street date. I'd rather just go straight to Verizon and buy it and have it in my hands that day.
Quietly place back in box on Wednesday and return to the store you purchased from. Tell them that morally, you just can't keep the phone knowing that it hasn't been released yet and you are concerned for their store, and the jobs of those who sold it to you. Walk away...
Take this FWIW because it seems like some CSRs are totally clueless, but:
Dale: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Scott: Hi Dale, I saw that some customers in the Midwest region have received offers in the mail for a $100 discount when upgrading from a 3G smartphone to a 4G smartphone. I was wondering if I would be eligible for that discount as well.
Dale: Oh my. That promotion ended back in October. I do apologize.
Scott: Are you sure? One of my friends got the discount in his mailbox the other day. It said it's valid until 12/31.
Dale: Ah okay. Perhaps it is something different. Were there special instructions on how to get this discount? A number to call?
Scott: Well it did have a code on it (CH4GE) but it said to show it when purchasing in a store.
Dale: Let me check that to see if it would work online.
Scott: Ok, thank you.
Dale: No results were found for CH4GE. I do apologize.
Scott: And you don't have any such promotion showing up in your system?
Dale: No and I checked our main database and the website itself.
Dale: Since I do not have full access to that information, I am unable to get that for you. What I can do though is get you the number over to our Customer Care Department who would be more than happy to get that for you today, Is that okay with you?
Scott: I've called the Customer Service number inquiring about the discount but they said they couldn't apply it to my account.
Scott: Thanks for your help though!
Dale: You are most welcome. I guess it is only valid in the store.
So I ask again, for those who did get the $100 discount applied to your account, can you explain exactly how you went about doing so? Would be massively helpful
