Anybody know what shipping service Diztronic uses on their TPU cases? I ordered one today and am wondering if it will make it for Thursday morning.

No Joke. and as excited as we have been before. I said this back then a few times. Please don't put "THURSDAYS THE DAY" in the title if it's not verizon official.

No offense to the source or anyone. But we have no more confirmation today than we have for any other day. Please just stop messing with people and hyping this up. There have been at least 4 dates that you have said confirmed before. I don't have time to sift thru hundreds of pages of posts and I kind of live by the title/updates. So it's a giant bummer to see a title like that only to see that the same person that confirmed 2 other dates is now confirming a 3rd.

Sorry, you're right.. I added the work "leak".

You're right and it's all speculation and he can change it to whatever he wants. But you lose credibility and respect every time. He could change it to a thread about cats for all I care, I just come here for Galaxy Nexus Information and Speculation. But that means if you want to be the best and be the front runner (which at the moment we have been and regardless of my opinion's AF will probably maintain) then you should Vet your info a bit more and should post what you know not let emotions run wild and start posting what you hope/want.

It's all rumors. But taking a rumor saying "yup, looks like more rumors/info leaning towards the 15th" and translating that into "THURSDAY IS THE DAY" is a far stretch, especially regarding our knowledge of history on this phone and Verizon Wireless.

I just want the information that comes through AF to be credible and realistic. If that's not the case, then take the forums where you want. I'll just go find a better website or thread that knows how to take their emotions out of it and post the facts so that I can get as much unbiased information about when I can actually expect this phone.

I'm seeing lots of people saying that they're "making appointments" with their VZW stores. Is this really necessary? I can't think of a store, even here in downtown Boston, that would be so busy (especially at 8 AM, which is when I'll be going) that an appointment would be needed.

My corporate VZW store is usually packed any time I wander by. I'll probably be going to a re-seller though since those stores don't seem to exist to anyone else.

I respect your opinion man but I honestly don't think we will ever have anything more then rumors in here until the actual release. The only way this can be confirmed is if VZW releases some PR which I highly doubt will happen.
 
ok guys, thursday looks good.
now for the important question.

steinheil flex or regular? can't tell the difference.

Called and explained the promotion, couldn't find anything for a good 10-15 minutes. Rep told me all he could find was something to do with broadband, not phones. Gave him this code and he was able to apply it to my account.

Thanks to all for helping me save $100!
 
I do agree emotions and hype get in the way of unbiased and responsible reporting about phones. But it's not just a problem here, but across the entire online world of smartphone sites, blogs, forums etc.

Amazon was running a free month of Amazon Prime last week, which gave you free 2 day shipping. That's how I got mine...not sure if it is still going, check it out.
 
I have a DX right now and I was at the verizon corporate store earlier and they let me play with the GN demo, it was awesome. The thing that I liked most about it is the size, its about the same size as my dx yet it fits better in my hand (average size hands), that was a relief :). I played with the phone for about 15 minutes, tested a lot of things including face unlock, camera (it was really good and amazingly fast). I asked for the release date and I got the usual "we don't know". I forgot to ask if they had stock in the back.
 
No real news from me, I'm a quiet lurker, but the manager of Radio Shack put my name on the only one they had, he said he would call me the minute they can sell one. Super stoked, Th-Fr are my days off so I'm secretly hoping it doesn't drop sooner so that I have two full days to cuddle with it.
 
I was out and about and decided to pop into VZW. This is the first time I've actively inquired about the phone. The check in lady didn't know what I was talking about but the salesman that overheard me asking told me the 15th is the day. I asked if he's seen a high demand in the area and if I should be here early on Thursday and he said that they have 30 in the back and that he thinks I should be fine whenever I decide to come in. I'll be going in Thursday morning regardless (assuming I can get it off work). I then asked him if they had any demo units and he promptly said no and that he hadn't even seen it yet. Then he told me that the RAZR was a better phone and that it's funny because of how much hype the Nexus has had. I kind of chuckled while my girlfriend said that no one would be happier than her for this phone to come out. We then walked out. FWIW, everything the sales guy said had kind of an arrogant tone to it.
 
I visited my Corp store today and seen a different story than some are reporting and some of the same.......

Same = The Cheshire Cat, bald face lie that there are none are stock. I think I can bet on the deception because I do criminal defense interviews and have seen most of it all. I wish I had been videoing it.
I asked about Thursday and got the usual IDK.

I then asked why there was no dummy phone? He said let me check and went to a manager. They both did a take on me and I got the denial. No dummy phone.:) I was wide open for a "Give the dummy a phone" heh!

I then tossed in a curve ball asking what he expects on Thursday morning in comparison to an Apple iPhone release. "Oh, it will be a longer line than an iPhone release believe me". I then whispered so his boss could not hear me say he just told me there will be a Nexus line on Thursday morning. He blushed like a school girl.

What was different? = I have been in that store many times and there are never more than 3 reps and 2 tech counter persons.There were 11 Red Shirts on the Floor! It was 5 PM and I was the only customer. HuH!


All the above said, Nothing Will Surprise Me what ever happens.

One of the guys over at AC that got his from BestBuy is being asked to return it.


I will tell you, I would not be surprised if the whole launch gets canned. I half expect it.

That's not good. I don't see how they can legally tell him he HAS to return it though. They can ask, but he can just politely refuse since he's already given the money for it and has it.
