All in good fun the forum is slow your post showed late good luck to you and hope you get it tomorrow ;)
 
these reps don't know anything. so i dont know why anyone cares what they say.

some of them are saying its coming out tomorrow for sure, some say they have no idea and some say it was coming out monday or it has been delayed indefinitely.

just stop repeating with 200938 different reps have told you, because they will just read it here and repeat it to more people who also have no idea...

Guys! Check with your local Radioshack now!

Remember that rumored "Do not sell till 12/14/11" date? Well I just came back from the Radioshack by where I live...this is the same one that has been telling me the generic "We have no information" for the past two weeks including yesterday. Today I came in and asked if they had it in stock, the guy went to the back and checked he said "we have about 10 in stock right now but let me call my manager to see if I can sell them". He called his manager and came back to me and said "Yes you can buy one right now, today is our release date." He turned the screen to me and showed in their system where it says it is now allowed to be sold in all locations. He then brought out the box and allowed me to play with it for a while.

The only reason I am not sitting with one in my hand right now is because I do not have an upgrade anytime soon and he told me that they are not allowed to sell the phone at full price ($799 for Radioshack) and I might want to stop by Verizon tomorrow. I have no idea why they don't allow to sell the phone for a premium (maybe they lose commission). But he told me straight up that anyone can upgrade or buy one with a new plan in Radioshack right now.

Go Go Go PEOPLE!!!!! :D

very strange...just called my radio shack and they said it was released sunday. seriously, wtf? she said they have them in stock, i'm heading there now to see what's up...she's probably talking about the wrong phone, but it's worth a shot i guess.
 
I just called 2 VZW Corporate stores in NJ (Jersey City & Hoboken) and they both confirmed the release date is tomorrow and have them in stock. I've called the Hoboken store before and they never gave out any information.......until today.

Damn I'm gonna swing by the local Shack after work today and try my luck . I would much rather get it tonight and play with it then get it tomorrow and be distracted all day at work (I'm a caterer and we have multiple christmas parties tomorrow so playing with my Nexus will probably make these orders late or not happening )
 
Just had an online chat with a VZW sales rep, here's the convo:

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience. You are now chatting with 'Edvonecia'
Edvonecia: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Tristan: Hello. I was wondering if you have any information on the Galaxy Nexus release?
Edvonecia: I'd be happy to assist you.
Tristan: Please? Lol
Edvonecia: I"m sorry but we haven't got the official release data yet but rumor has it it should be the 15th I can send you the link to the updates if you would like?
Tristan: Yes please.
Edvonecia: Great one moment please
Edvonecia: Click here for the Nexus updates
Tristan: Thank you very much for your help!
Edvonecia: My pleasure!

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0 Smartphone | Verizon Wireless
 
I live in NW Ohio, and just tried to get the $100 discount going from 3g to 4g. The first time I called the lady said the deal expired and I wasn't eligible. So I called again and this lady said she never heard of this, but looks like I am eligible and EXPIRES DEC 31. She told me that I can use it in store or online.

I am going to the store tomorrow, She said she would put a note on my account for them to see.

Hopefully my Verizon store accepts this and I hope she put a note because otherwise I think I would be in trouble.

So tomorrow, i hope the discount applies :)

Of course, the Radio Shack I just called said they weren't even going to carry the Nexus. Go figure.

oh, i know. i just am insanely overly cautious about crap like this. i blame my parents (who would show up 2 hours early for "important" appointments). damn genetics.

lies.. Just called a Radio Shack by me and they said they have 1 in stock right now but it will be available tomorrow at 8:30..

tomorrow is the day!!
 
When I got off work I called the Corp. store in the mall...

Me: Nexus tomorrow?
Her: Yes we will!
Me: Can you hold one for me?
Her: No. We don't do that.
Me: Damn. Kbye.

I then drove to another Corp. store in the same town. I walk in...

Me: Nexus Tomorrow?
Him: No. We don't know anything yet. We don't have a release.
Me: I just called the store in the mall and they said yes tomorrow.
Him: We don't know.
Me: I guess I'll just give them my business. Kbye.
Him: Okay.

The whole situation is asinine :mad:
