Yeah I am more than a little curious about how something like this comes up? Hahaha
Click to expand...

Me: Will you be picking up the Nexus?
CSR: No, I've only had verizon service for about 4 months now
me: Oh, are you a newer employee?
CSR: A little over a year now...couldn't afford it when I first started...child support...
Me:*thinking* jackpot.
 
Id like to quickly point out that the CSR i talked to (the one who gave me the "doorways" system info) said that they dont even have the price given to them until the day the phone is released. Not saying I doubt what anyone else says, but at this point, i think any CSR that will confirm or deny a certain date should have their information taken with a few grains of salt

Thanks zedster! Wouldn't it be funny if that really was the case (I'm going to assume it's a generic product image)? Looks like it'll fit my OG Droid pretty well.

Considering a lot of sources have been saying the 15th (either from here or other blogs who have sources), there hasn't been a deviation from that yet. Not saying it's impossible for it to be pushed back further just like the 9th was...just three more days till we know.

Such anxious times we're in.

My thoughts as well. Im pretty skeptical, or at least I was hesitant to accept all of the past rumored dates as fact. With this one there is a different feel though. Even as many of us were beginning to feel the validity of the 9th there were other sources in the background on other sites and even a few here who were throwing out dates like the 12th, 15th etc. Now, here we are a few days from the 15th, and I have not seen a rumored date discussed on any credible media outlet, suggesting it will drop later than the 15th. This coupled with another day or so of silence... and we could very well be looking at a release on Thursday.

Still hesitant, but hesitantly hopeful...

That right there is good conversation skills :)
 
Just talked to 4 CSRs the first few had no idea or said I wasn't eligible. The last one Tyler was awesome I didn't even tell him the promo code now I have 100 reasons to get it from a corporate store. Plus my living social deal to get my desk dock.

That package is either for the Droid X or Nexus, Costco accessory packs normally come with a soft case, headphones, car charger. It looks like this pack comes with nicer headphones then the normal pack. For spending $10 less then if you went to a VZ corp store the accessory pack is not the main insensitive and just icing.

I have my final in upper level Mathematics this Friday, Economics on Monday of Next week, and Astrophysics on Tuesday. Although I am studying like a maniac, the non-release of this phone is distracting me :mad:
Click to expand...

you and me both. I have an immunology final on wednesday and a microbial genetics final on friday. If the phone does release thursday, for the sake of my well being and exam grades, i dont know if getting it will be the best idea.

...BUT ill still get mine at 10am when the store opens :D
 
So the source says it's the 15th and others think pre-orders begin tonight and the $100 promotion works for some but not others. Did I miss anything else today?

I have tried 3 different CSR's on the phone. I live in the Midwest, and NO ONE can find it for me. They all say it's for Chicago and surrounding area.

OT

Back from Alice Cooper. Good show. Wasn't a huge Alice Cooper fan prior to the concert, still not really a huge fan but he did put on a good show. He's really a creepy kinda guy.
 
Not trying to be debbie downer but is there any chance Steven or another MOD can help clean up the Verizon $100 discount talk. Maybe add the information to the original post so it is readily viewable.

Sorry but its getting really bad with every poster telling their story over and it is hard enough to catch up on this thread without having to sift through all that coupon talk.

Thanks guys. Like I said, I dont mean to offend anyone but I think alot of us are here for information on the phone. Thanks!

I've read that it's midwest and northeast.

I'm in Arizona and they added it to my account earlier today.
Trick is, don't mention anything about the Nexus. Just say you're up for an upgrade and before you buy a phone you want to see if you can get that coupon for $100 off a new 4g phone when switching from 3g.

My guy seemed pretty suggestive of it being a Chicago area thing. He asked "By suburb of Chicago, what do you mean?" I told him "I'm within the 4G coverage." That seemed to be enough. I think the farthest South it goes is like Kankakee - I'm not sure about West and North.
