Good catch, I didn't see that until you pointed it out, I thought he/she pre-orderded TODAY, which meant maybe we could ALL start pre-ordering TOMORROW!!

Well, it was a nice 3 minutes of giddy unabashed joy while it lasted....... :o

yea. i talked to the store manager the day after the samsung/google event. s/he said to come back a week later and s/he would have info. s/he then told me that s/he would just take my preorder now and email me when its available. i have been in regular email contact with them since. asking if any new info was available. nothing to say other then they cant comment. :( so i didnt bring it up in here. but after all the excitement with the cases showing up i figured i would talk about my preorder. :D
 
So Sweaty, was this an official verizon store or a carrier "partner" store?

Edit: Seems to be a 3rd party reseller....probably a "sure I'll hang on to your $300 for you" deal

I know it probably it's probably a stretch, but does arrival of accessories correlate to a timeline for release.

i.e. Is the arrival of accessories a good indicator of an impending release occurring soon?

I would have to say yes to this. With the Just-In-Time and Lean manufacturing practices employed by all successful business supply chains of the modern world, it only makes sense that they don't waste valuable shelf-space with useless product. The phone will be out no later than the 17th, count on it! :D

Edit: The only caveat to this being that if those cases were an isolated fluke and only made it to a small handful of stores. I am assuming that most corporate stores have gotten those cases in.

I'm thinking same thing. I dont doubt they took the order, but since there isn't a model number or anything on that paper, I'm almost willing to bet there wasn't even anything in their system when they took the order and just type in some type of placeholder.
 
Looks like you should be the first post in the PREORDER thread. Maybe the Mods will let you copy it over or put a link to it. :)

I totally believe your story sweaty. If you were to actually get confirmation from them on a date, I'd be inclined to believe that as well. What I do think happened is that the general consensus was that the GNex was going to verizon, so this retailer decided to do an "independent" preorder.

God forbid, it never came out, it says non-refundable.:D I'm sure you'd get your money back, but non-refundable does seem kinda odd for a preorder.

thats more then likely. but knowing that i have it in writing that i actually have a NEXUS coming my way is awesome. :D
 
I never seen a receipt like that from a Verizon store. The receipts that I always get are about 3" wide and a mile long with two or three of them stapled together.

My daughter just walked in my room to say good night and walked out saying "Na is right, you have a problem" (na is what she calls my mother). But she was referring to the fact that I currently have my phone, ipad w/keyboard and laptop all sitting on my bed.

My wife says the same thing to me. My daughter is not old enough to understand it yet, but I am sure when time comes she will :D

Watching X-factor, and even though I'm not getting a RAZR, I have to admit their commercial with the motorcycle guy stealing it from the armored truck was pretty cool!
