Or, you might not have to worry about the GNex at all, if it doesn't go well
Like that hasnt happened to me every 2 weeks for 2 months now.

Okay here's the short story: I have a rep who has hooked me up in the past, and we made an agreement...
(S)he calls me as soon as (s)he knows when Nexus is launching and I'll make sure (s)he gets the purchase commission on the phone and some accessories. Not a bad trade, huh?
I got a call on my cell phone tonight from said rep! And Launch Day is:
DECEMBER 8TH!
SO I am 99% convinced that - unless Verizon completely botches it - I have 6 days to go and I'll be holding my Beloved Nexus in my hands! WHOOT!
MY bad news is that (s)he doesn't start work until 11AM
so I have to wait 2 agonizing hours after they open to buy it! Oh well, more time to play with the demo and pick out my accessories
Hail to The_Chief! Thanks for the nice update.
Any word on a pre-order date?
Bags, I have to be at work that day and my bossifer doesn't take kindly to slackers. I'm not sure if I want to risk trying to go to the Verizon store near work at lunch, they always busy with the yoga jetta moms. Might be time to place a call and book an appointment with a sales rep.

I think anyone would be dreaming to think anything less than $299. That had been the price on all of the MAPS and Costco leak.

i'd assume $299 since its a 32gb LTE phone, anything less would be pretty shocking to me.

I know I'm usually the one who voluntarily stays up late every night waiting for a pre-order online, but judging the past, oh I don't know, MONTH, I would count on another stupid dumbphone sale occupying the space on the home page where the 3 day websale currently is... Just sayin'.

i had to come say thanks to the chief personally. i live near boston and growing up robert parish for the celtics was huge, his nickname was "the chief" and our the chief is in green also. anyway thanks again chief and i know with other pre release threads we usually get a leaked accessory list with part numbers where we can usually order in advance, these havent been dug up yet have they??

Yes, I was a big part of the Droid Incredible thread, previously the HTC Passion, for those of you who remember. HAha I am posting this from my Incredible, which is soon to be replaced by a finally WORTHY succesor after hanging in there and being patient, the LTE Galaxy Nexus.
Thank you on the congratulations. I actually moved away from Nashville, Tennessee to South Texas a year ago where I met my amazing wife. We have been married for three weeks tomorrow. My first marriage. I will be 30 on the 14th of this month. So, I was actually very picky and it paid off.
Congratulations everyone. Hopefully we will all be celebrating soon!

I was going to make a Robert Parrish reference (00) but didn't think anyone would get it. Wow, even ninja'd in my mind.

Now I have to decide on a case vs. skin...
@PydePypper:
Gonna post pics of Nexus battery stats test from today. Was on Wifi all day except for my drive into work when I stream Pandora for 45 mins
This needs to be put into perspective for people. When you are on wifi, your 4g/3g data radio will not be active. Only the voice radio will be active, aside from wifi obviously.
Depending on how much this guy/girl used it, which judging by the OS being the top it was used a bit. It doesn't look like there was a big battery hit the 45 mins they were streaming stuff on Verizon's network (non wifi) which is good. So this seems like a good test for the days you stay at home all day on wifi or for those who do use work's wifi.
Personally I don't connect to work's wifi because their internet is slower then Verizon's 3g. Alsomy office is the only spot in Princeton that Verizon gets a good signal... "it's the network", what a crock! I get crappy service in my house, and spotty service on 20 miles on I295 to work. I'd switch to AT&T in a heartbeat if I could get unlimited data.
