Wouldn't be the first time we've gone from euphoric high to manic low :rolleyes:

This roller coaster ride really needs to end tomorrow... otherwise we may double the DInc thread count! I'd like to see the curtains close before 90,000 so we can play with our Nexi!

So, I figure everyone who has a phone lined up for tomorrow will be calling their respective sellers at some point today, and will be reporting back here. How about we mark all positive responses that you will still be able to pick up your phone tomorrow in green and all negative, sorry you still can't get your phone tomorrow responses in red.

It'd give a quick tally for those who don't read every post, and an easy way for people who only want to read good things to skip the bad and vice versa. Who knows, maybe keeping the dream alive will save what little sanity people have left.
 
I really think we will see a PR talking about the white Droid Razr and maybe their whole 200 4G markets by Dec. 15, 2011 again. However, if the Nexus is coming out tomorrow, I think there will be some subtle hints in this release that points to the launch of another phone tomorrow. Just my $0.02.

EDIT: Well scratch that idea. Definitely no subtle hints pointing towards the Nexus there.
 
***Friday release per 5 csr's at corp verizon store in Mission Valley (San Diego, CA)

I found a guy willing to trade his iPhone 4s (White 32gb) for my HTC Rezound. We met at the verizon store last night to make the trade. It appears he is an android fanboy as well so we both hammered the reps. They claimed to have no stock. No display units. No appts for Thursday. They were completely confident that the release is Friday and would only schedule appts for that day.

The rep taking care of the phone swap did whisper that the release was suppose to be Wednesday of this week but it was pushed.

Note 1: I traded my Rezound for the iphone 4s because it's going to my daughter for Christmas. I'm using it until the GNex comes out. Carrying a white iPhone makes me feel like less of a man.

Note 2: Swapping phones took 1 hour and 40 minutes. That is time at the counter working with the csr. Wasn't expecting that.
 
No matter what happens, I'm waiting for this phone.

After being on an iPhone3G, then moving to a Droid X for the freedom, only to find that I was still locked down with an encrypted bootloader and waiting for Gingerbread from moto, I can't wait to get the Nexus because I'll have the freedom to do what I want with my device, and not have to wait for samsung to skin up any new OS releases with their UI.

That alone is worth the wait for me.

Keep it happy here everyone! We're all in this boat together and getting angry at each other doesn't change anything. Keep your eyes on the gnex prize!

However, for mine, it's going to be retired, the battery drained and hid away in some drawer to look at another day. I don't think I can get rid of it since it was such a ground breaking and supremely awesome device for so long.

My OG may become a toy and experimentation phone. You know how much 3G radio boards cost if you want to incorporate them in your electronic hobbies??? The ones I've priced are around $200! I've still got plans for my OG...they may not come to fruition, but I've got plans.

In keeping with the color coding of this thread, red, green, blue, and gold are all good colors. Black is the bad color. So all negative news in black... oh wait... ;)
