Another long time lurker of this thread posting for the first time. With the (hopefully) imminent release of this phone, I've kicked my search into high gear for any information. I'm yet another Day 1 OG Droid buyer here and it's hanging on for dear life waiting for a replacement. I haven't followed every reply, but I see most of the people whose stores have "confirmed" tomorrow are more out to the west or south, while little information is available for my area (New York State, outside of the city). Today I called nearly every place I know of nearby which carries Verizon phones, and here's the result. Note that I'm unaware if the two Verizon stores I called are corporate or resellers.
Verizon Store 1
I asked if they were taking names for the Nexus, was told no. I followed up questioning the number of phones that would be available when it DID launch, and was told that they didn't know as they haven't received any yet.
Verizon Store 2
I asked if they were taking names for the Nexus, was immediately told that they had no information regarding the phone. I also asked them about the amount of phones that would be available and was told again that they had no information. it sounded like they had been asked about it alot and were just using a generic response for any questions about the Nexus.
Best Buy
I called and the phone rang for 15 minutes before I gave up. I had called earlier in the week and it took over 20 minutes for someone to pick up, so I wasn't surprised
Costco
This is where I would like to purchase the phone most, but they also told me they weren't taking names and informed me that they couldn't tell me anything about their stock until the phone was released.
Radio Shack
Until today I hadn't considered Radio Shack for anything other than batteries, but with others talking of good experiences with them I decided to give it a try. The person who I spoke to knew of the phone and, after asking their manager, they confirmed that they were taking names for the Nexus! After she confirmed I was looking for the Verizon model(She told me some people were asking about the GSM version) she told me that they had ONE in the back and it now had my name and number on it, as well as a promise to call me as soon as they hear anything official. I never got her to say the 15th, but she did confirm that the 9th was a previous release date that was delayed. All in all I was so pleased that even if Costco has it tomorrow I'll still pick it up at Radio Shack(assuming it's released at both stores tomorrow) as they were the only place to tell me anything other than a company line and went out on a limb to reserve one for me without any face-to-face meeting or deposit made.
