Really? All that build up and crap for THIS? Wow, total fail. You got to play with the phone, we're happy for you. But the only info you can give us is what we already know - that it's not happening tomorrow? Come on man...this is why I said don't jerk us around, which you appear to have been doing. :(

I just got off the phone with my cellular provider that was running around with one of the higher-ups (his words) in Verizon yesterday. He ordered 6 phones from the Verizon corporate office and they will be in his store tomorrow. Because of the knowledge that I fed him over the past months (I informed him of the phone's existence before October 17th) and the fact that I have completely harassed (not really) him with emails, 3 of those phones are mine (wife, buddy and me). He obtained all my needed information (account password, SS#) so that he could go ahead and assign me a SIM(s) and throw it in the phone(s) to await activation. WOOT!

He said that the delay has nothing to do with the LTE issue and EVERYTHING to do with the botched software update. He also said that they are feverishly working on a fix and that tomorrow is unlikely, BUT possible. They want this phone out as badly as we want it. He threw out Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday as possible release dates.

This makes perfect sense to me. (as evidence of my opinion mirroring this info earlier). And thanks for not making us wait.
 
I have checked with 4 stores. They have all claimed that Samsung sets the launch date not Verizon. And it was Samsung that stopped the release!

What BS! Verizon can't own up to it's own problems.. gesh

Punctuation and new info, this post lacks it.

Here's hoping Steven had to go pick up the 'ban hammer' from FedEx. What a waste of time.

He's chortling away while alphabetizing his spice rack at the moment. He'll be right back after that to post 'em. He's up to Fennel seeds.


Edit: Another one of his fav's is teasing some info soon to be posted, then unplugging the server for a few minutes :)
 
Well guys, during my christmas shopping today I stopped by three corporate stores. They all took down my name and number even though I told the second two I already had given my number out so hopefully I have some good odds at getting it right when it becomes available!
They all said they didn't have the phone and didn't have accessories to sell but one guy did go to the back and came back with the dummy phone.
LAME!!!
I was so hoping it would be the real demo when he came walking back out :(
But I can say if the dummy phone is weighted like the real one, it feels very good. It's a bit thicker and heavier than my gf's sgs2 epic 4g touch, but it feels more heavy duty bc of it. That's about all I can think of to say holding a fake phone. If you've held any of the sgs2 variants and like the size, you will like the size of this one.

ok so today i went to my Verizon store where a very good friend of mine is the General Manager there...

he got the demo training unit of the back of the store for me and let me have about 30 mins playing with the phone and and let me take a few pictures but no videos the pictures that contain no incriminating evidence will be posted by steven58 when he gets back he is going to phanrdroid bran the pictures so we get all the credit for it and i was told information about the release at least here in the state of Virginia and DC area

Wow, some rare local good news for a change. I don't get much of that in the 7 years I've been marooned here. :)

If you think these pix will give you a firm date as to the Nex launch, you're about to be disappointed. Anyone can say anything and people just are ready to faint. There is no official word from Verizon and nobody knows...period!

cool story dad.
how do you know what the pictures were? for all we know it coulda been pics of an update EG, or other hard evidence with a date.

obviously and expectedly it wasn't but you get my point.

Not to be an a-hole or anything, but none of this is news. The reason why no stores in VA or DC have them is because VZW has instructed all stores NOT to receive them into their inventory. We are hopeful the failed software deployment and/or LTE issues that halted the 9th release are resolved ASAP, but quit teasing us with information that's already common knowledge.

Wow...this is a new one...Samsung said don't release the phone, makes perfect sense. Now that that is taken care of I will go on with my day.

I'm not taking shots at you...but reps so clueless they blame Samsung is a new Verizon low.

LOL so you got pictures of a phone we already have hundreds of pictures of and this is somehow really exciting, breaking news that required 8 teaser posts? :confused:

If Steven is running out to get it phandroid branded it has to be marketing material with a date.
