For what it's worth, I went to Subway to pick up a sandwich for lunch this afternoon. There's a Radio Shack right next store, so I went in after I got my sandwich. The Verizon rep was there with the owner.
The Verizon rep said that the phones are indeed going on sale tomorrow, as long as the store has the phone in stock. Many still don't have inventory.
That made me excited because it was the first confirmation I had from a Verizon representative. I called Verizon directly to see if I could pre-order the phone so that it would arrive by Friday. I spoke to an extremely helpful girl named Jodi. She could find nothing in the system and she looked everywhere. She said that this is unlike any launch that she's ever seen. With the Razr, the phone was in the system a week before it went live. With the Nexus, nothing.
Jodi will be calling me when she gets in at 8am tomorrow morning to tell me if it is in the system yet.
Now, I'm not so excited any more...
