Just called the Verizon store I was planning on stopping at tonight. Got another ditsy female who didn't know what I was talking about, and I'm too nice to ask to speak to someone else...
Then I called Best Buy, the guy said he'd talk to the mobile department... I didn't get to talk directly to them.
Basically, he told me they don't have a release date yet, and when I asked if they even had the phone in the store and just weren't allowed to sell, he said they didn't even have any shipments or anything.
Wow. I'm seriously really upset right now, I really wanted my Nexus tomorrow.
Here's to hoping Verizon will pull a fast one and launch tomorrow? Eh, it's useless hoping for that at this point
But if some stores do end up selling the phone tomorrow, could someone in my general area (Highland Park, IL) let me know of a store that has it? My dad simply refuses to drive a measly 5-10 minutes to this store for me to see if they have the phone. Pretty annoying :/
Scott I talked to the corp store in northbrook and spoke with a rep. he told me they have them in stock and he would call me when he gets word it will become available which he said would be hopefully next week.
It seems like just about everyone besides me can get their stores to tell them they officially have stock...
Why don't any of my stores have stock?!?!?!
Past delays were always keeping the arrival of the GNex two weeks away.
Now the delays are keeping the phone one week away?
Is this progress???
So if I do in fact head to my local store tonight and they happen to have a rep with a Nexus, what questions do you want me to ask? I will take pictures, but it would be nice to give some helpful info.
Love the Dogfish Ancient Ales.. cool stories to go along with interesting beverages.
For me though, Guiness or Stone Arrogant Bastard is the way to go. Stone's Vertical Epic is good too, though can be hard to find and next year's batch is the last.
...
C. No release before Tuesday, no solid info: ????
Situation C is where I need the advice. Again, I feel indebted to my rep for all the help he gave me when I broke my Inc. I don't want a RAZR or Rezound whatsoever, they hold no allure to me and after playing with the Nexus, it will be my next Android if I have a next Android. So basically:
A. Do I buy an Iphone (would get the 32GB version so that his commission is the same) and call that settled with the rep? If I went this route, I would likely wind up selling the 4S and buying a Nexus for retail from Negri or some other source.B.???? Feel free to give opinions.
I will take your word on it!This is progress!
Are you going to schedule an additional one on 12/22 to be on the safe side?
Okay, thanks to some helpful forum members, I now know that I'm not a nobody.
The last thing I want to do is add to the circus that we've experienced over the last month waiting on this phone. After reading further reports of delay here, I got a little nevous and called the local resller again. He assured me that tomorrow is the date, and I can indeed purchase a galaxy nexus. I mentioned my concern based on what I'm reading here about 15th, etc. He said that once they get the email (like he did today), it is a done deal. He said they never cancel the release after sending out this email. But never say never where the galaxy nexus is concerned, right? I pressed further, and the guy offered to call me if anything changes before the store closes today.
I REALLY don't want to be "that guy" who spreads misinformation. Is ANYONE else hearing the launch tomorrow is still on? It would certainly give me some peace if I knew others were hearing the same thing. Otherwise, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic that I may have a new toy tomorrow around 9:01am.

FWIW...was out shopping at BestBuy earlier and decided to stop by the mobile dept...and there was the unicorn...5 in all...boxed up and being taken to the back...they had literally just recieved 5 Galaxy Nexus's...just for giggles I asked if he could sell me one and said I doubt it but he checked anyways...he said their system said they could start selling on the 11th...which I said I doubt that too but ya never know...
On another note I stopped by the VZW reseller in my town and of course they have heard nothing...but they do have the phones in the store (4 in all) and let me play with one yesterday...they also let me put down a $200 deposit...
So now MY Galaxy Nexus is waiting for VZW to start the Launch Countdown!!!
I appreciate the optimism, but seriously you're going to give yourself a heart attack. Just leave it alone, Friday is NOT going to happen. At this point, I will be ridiculously happy to have it next Friday and I'm not holding my breath for it either.

Just thought of something else guys, could use some advice on this. I owe my rep commission because he really did me a solid in letting me borrow this display Continuum until the Nexus released, however I'm in college and as of next Tuesday I'm done for the semester. I live 2 hours away from the store when not in school and as much as I want this phone I'm not driving back 2 hours for it, period.
So here's the options:
A. It releases between now and Tuesday: Everything goes better than expected.
B. It doesn't release before Tuesday but we have solid(ish) info that it will release by the 16th: I'll stay in town and wait the couple extra days, no big deal.
C. No release before Tuesday, no solid info: ????

[/INDENT]I would not get a phone that you do not otherwise want just for the sake of the rep.
What is the rep's commission on a phone? (I have no idea). If it is not too much, you could do something of comparable value for the rep and then get the phone you want from whatever place works best for you That would cost you extra, of course--a double commission, essentially.
Whatever you choose, it is nice for you to be thinking of the rep.
Why not buy from him over the phone and have Verizon mail it out to you.
