Just got off the phone with my local store. They are expecting them in tomorrow morning. She took my name and number and is giving me a call when they come in to set up an appointment for me to pick it up.

Will you do us all a favor and wait a week to go buy it when it releases tomorrow since you are so sure it won't actually be out tomorrow?

I feel some animosity in that statement. You misinterpret my "predictions" and "pessimism". I WANT this thing to launch SO BADLY tomorrow I can taste it. I just know Verizon and have been disappointed by them too many times to feel any optimism at this point. I want this thing to launch for me, and for all of you. I want us all to be happy and finally post pictures of us holding our phones once and for all. I want to finally give my wife a phone that replaces her frustratingly slow Eris. I just can't get excited after all the let downs. Also, there are people in here that are CONVINCED it's coming out tomorrow. Not overly optimistic that it's coming out, I mean truly CONVINCED. And I just want to remind people that Verizon has said NOTHING. As far as i'm concerned, it is NOT coming tomorrow until Verizon says different. Please don't take my posts the wrong way. I'm as excited over the phone as anyone else, I'm just not excited over any particular date...........yet.

Having said all that. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I get called out tomorrow for being flat out wrong. I hope I get ridiculed and given a hard time for being wrong and we all have our shiny new phones tomorrow.

Oh, can this really be happening? Are we going to finally lay our paws on our Precious?

Yes, still slightly skeptical, but I'm beginning to finally hope for real!

Scott, please don't say it's coming!

LOL, I'm actually nervous right now and have butteryflies in my stomach.

I just hope that after my 9-10 hour manager meeting tomorrow I can find one in stock in the evening. Any other day I would be waiting infront of the store for them to open.

I hope to run into at least one person. Would be nice to be able to say hi before we all go back to the anonymity of the watering hole.

With all the apparent Jersey-ites on the thread, I'm sure your bound to meet someone from here :) I'm in PA though, so we will just have to pretend we are in line together...he, he! :p

Or maybe there's no release tomorrow, the most logical thought IMO

Yes, that is possible. Most logical? Who knows. It being Verizon, it might be the most logical. But they have to release it some time, no?

Shipments are still en route to stores according to multiple reps. If they canceled the thing, as I think you've said at times, they wouldn't be doing that.

We all knew that this isn't Verizon's golden-haired baby. I'd have been shocked if they ramped up publicity for this before release. My guess is that soft launch with no fanfare is the way they'll go.
 
Went across the street from work to talk to a verizon reseller and they had no idea if the day would be tomorrow. I asked them is that because you don't know or you're not allowed to say where they laughed and said we actually dont' know since it was supposed to be released last week and we haven't heard anythign official for this week. But who knows, this whole debacle is just a disaster now. If they don't release this week, might be the new year.
 
OK, I just got word from my Verizon rep. They are so pumped about the Droid RAZR that they have come up with a new promotion starting tomorrow:

Buy a RAZR at regular price and get a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for free. (The ultimate disrespect shown to the Nexus)

/jk -- but I could see it happening with all the crap we've seen so far.

The boston stores still claim it is not coming out tomorrow and they have no stock. Heck they don't even know about the whtie razr which was already announced (and they claim to not have any of those either).

Seriously? Wow, lame. I called last night and got goose egg, was going to try again this afternoon.

PS. Call the Copley store, the people at the Downtown Crossing store are very rude. :/
 
Is this thing going to be available online at midnight or what?!?!

I'm on a corporate account and our policy is that we have to order online.

Nope, at least I don't think so. And we can be dated together, Erasure was big when I was in college. Listened to them a lot, although I was more of a New Order & Bauhaus fan.

Yeah, I mixed in some Skinny Puppy, Dead Milkmen, and P.I.L. for good measure.
I have a hole in the ozone layer from Aquanet with my name on it.
:eek:
 
I am cautiously hopeful, but still 70/30. If it doesn't come tomorrow, it doesn't come. And my TP and I will begin a filthy, glorious love affair.

If it does, I'll be very happy too.

So, either way, I'm good.
