Just texted my brother who works for VerLIEzon ::snickers::. Anywho, told him that pre orders were going out for the phone tomorrow (he wants it too) and he said there's no way. They haven't heard anything about it yet.

And yet they've all supposedly received "training" on it. Maybe that's all the mgr's feel the csrs need to know...

How again did the thread achieve this title?

Somebody's obsessive-compulsive need to put a date in the title even though nobody knows or has known what it would be.........

or because a "Source" said it might or might not be that day, but that is subject to change according to The Source's secret source.

It's not that I pre-ordered the phone from them. It's that they were given the ability to order stock to be shipped to the store.

I understand exactly what you were attempting to relay. But it still means nothing.

AD's have a different computer system and have different rules. They can allocate handsets that don't even exist based on estimates. Them having it in thier system means they are getting ready, not that it has any basis in actual inventory allotment.

Think of this as similar to the Best Buy ad. Just because the ad was created in anticipation of a release, doesn't mean Best Buy had the authorization to run that ad. See the similarity?
 
I don't know, nothing would surprise me with Verizon at this point. The Droid Charge just started going on sale one day. Yes, the Charge was officially announced and given a release time. But that was delayed for some time and they had the devices in store. Then one friday they silently went on sale..
 
If only the original launch event had occurred... The one in the US and not in HK. Then Verizon would have had to show up and declare a date for availability.

OT:
Does anyone know where they will announce the winners of the phandroid holidroid contests?

Why do you think that.

Couldn't they have shown up and declared availability "this year", excactly the same as the later announcement?

I still find it suspect that final specifications for the LTE model weren't given at the HK event for the GSM unit. My only conclusion is that it wasn't fully designed and manufactured yet. In my mind, this delay was partially attributed to that.

You're right. 1 thing does happen tonight at midnight. We hit single digit days :)


Edit: although every day that goes by eats a little bit more of my optimism. I'm still on board for 12/8 release though.

Will it be 12.00 am eastern or 3.00 am because of the west coast? hmm.
 
Speaking of VZW stores. Does anyone have a corporate store that has 2 "Door Monitors" that jump on you the second you walk in and ask you what you need?

It's freaking annoying!

And the guy that is always there(at my store) is this tall skinny guy in his late 50's w/ a beard and glasses. He looks like the guy that is always sitting at the table next to you in a bar or restaurant that thinks he is so intellectual and witty, that everyone needs to hear and admire his stories.

I usually just walk by him and he starts chasing me down as I ignore him.

Yeah, VERY annoying I agree. But I simply say "No thanks, just browsing". Then after I've looked around, I just ask a nearby (unoccupied) sales guy "hey, any idea when the nexus is coming?". Though I usually don't stay long enough to get hounded.
