I'm not falling for this again. It's a trick to get us robo-posting until you can snag 15K. Nice try Steven!

Guys, I'm sorry about this but the PM's need to be read from the bottom up. That was the first contact. It's reversed. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. Sorry, too, for the delay, there was other info I had to sift through.

Have a great weekend yourself! Hope the announcement will make it a bit more pleasant. And don't worry about the lack of official date on the announcement. I'm still hearing early Nov.
Source said:Hi Steven,
(Information deleted... basically s/he said that he wasn't aware of any firmware issues holding up the release. It could be true, but s/he wasn't aware of it. It wasn't on his/her model)
Just to let you know, and you might want to share this, I was told by some very reliable (executive) coworkers that the announcement wasn't scheduled to be out until next Tuesday. But there was a massive campaign on Twitter and email that it actually was released this evening instead of waiting. I skimmed some posts on the thread and saw reference to a "grassroots campaign", which I think is the same thing. Most executives that received these emails have very specific spam filters (they basically only get emails from Verizon addresses, vendors, and other entities that we need to be in contact with on a frequent basis; everything else gets put into a spam folder). Anyway, one person had over 4,500 emails in his spam folder about the SGN! Just wanted to give a kudos to you guys for contributing to the movement, lol. My coworkers were actually very impressed that there is so much interest in it, and were very thankful that they had such rigid spam filters!
Regards,
XXXXXX

No offense to your source, but that's baloney. Doesn't work that way. Verizon announced it when they wanted to announce it. But I guess the fable will persist anyway.

All right. I'm not even going to say anything.
To the 2 or 3 people still skimming this thread, good night.
I will be dreaming of Ice Cream Sandwiches, putting a flower on the windsock's credibility grave, CK slipping in the shower, atrain landing safely and not getting into too much trouble in Vegas, Coach getting the news that the SGN will be on T-Mobile, and BabyBlues’ panties getting twisted into bunches.
Til tomorrow, everyone.

right, because they wanted to announce it at 6 pm on friday? with no price or release date?
it was obviously done to tell us to shut the hell up, its coming, but they either 1) dont know exactly when 2) dont want to tell us its coming so soon so no one buys their razor
thank you again steve, and thanks again mr source for all your work. really appreciate it

You know, you keep poking my nose and I'm going to see red and charge after rodeo clowns. And then Steven will infract me or reprimand me in private, which I will not like.

Yeah, I don't think the poor little guy can help it. Seems like he's been burned too many times so he's afraid to hope. It's okay.
Someone earlier said that every forum needs a CK and a Hans Olo (dammit).
I don't remember who that was. You all look alike to me. But that was nice.
Hans I responded earlier lol. I'm happy for you all. There's finally an OFFICIAL announcement which should have come Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest but that's neither here nor there.
I was doing lolercopters earlier as everyone was in panic mode. For people sure positive about it coming they sure as heck freaked out!! All over twitter pounding their fists lol.
It was a good day. Verizon handled this very poorly but its over and done.
Enjoy the Nexus kiddies!!!

I don't mean to be a killjoy, and I certainly don't mean to insult the source (or Steven by association), but a company simply isn't going to compromise a presumably carefully orchestrated business plan merely to empty their spam folders.
As you pointed out, RAZR may be influencing the timing. We've speculated that VZW wouldn't want much fanfare around Nexus when RAZR is supposed to be the star, and press releases on a Friday night are the traditional time when politicians and companies release news that they want buried.
But I understand the desire for validation, and there's nothing I can say that will convince anybody who sent out an email or tweet that Verizon's timing isn't a victory for the common man (and BabyBlues). I'll just ask that those wielding such awesome power to please use some of it to cajole VZW into releasing the 32GB version at $199. TIA.

You know, I would consider it, but I don't want to be shouted down again and basically told that my idea is stupid and troublesome. Maybe next time.
(Sorry, everyone, I know I said I was going to bed, and now I am. I'm just a little too infuriated right now. I should probably just go the hell to sleep before I say something I really regret. Good night, boys and girls.)

having these 3 phones launching at the same time isnt something i think they put much thought into
but yea, if you have thousands of customers wanting to know the status of something.. its in the companies best interest to let them know whats going on

Thanks to all here who made my bus ride home much more entertaining than it would have been otherwise.
And a huge thanks to Steven for his tireless efforts to keep us informed of news from vzw and about specs (the specs parts I will be going back to read at a time when my brain might be able to sort through the info coherently)
Good night gentlemen, and any other ladies who are here as well!
