After reading all these recent pages, I haven't noticed anyone mention the fact that the Droid 4 hasn't been released either, obviously we don't want that phone but it was supposed to release yesterday if I recall and now it's MIA as well.

Coincidence?

There was a road map release earlier this week showing the Droid 4 for a later date. Again it was never officially announced so technically it isn't missing.

I'll probably be ninja'd on this but you don't need to unlock the bootloader to overclock, you just need root. That's one of the reasons why I don't get to worried about locked bootloaders because with root I can do pretty much whatever I want to do.

Keep us posted. I'm on the west coast and was planning on going to costco also, but they won't open for another 3 hours.

ohhhhh rejected....

me: "hey I called yesterday and was told that you guys would be getting the GN in this morning and i wanted to make sure you had them before i headed over"

Him: "we were supposed to get them in this morning but we didn't, (no mention of a delay) we usually get shipments Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, check back those days to see if we got them or not."
 
Jeez, this thread is growing faster than I have seen thus far. I'm sure once we start getting emails once Verizon announces availability, we'll probably see the limits of a PHP-based forum. :D

I haven't received an email from neither Google nor Verizon for "more information" on the Nexus. At least not yet.
 
The day is still young, but I find it funny that Verizon was seemingly able to communicate to all various outlets not to sell the phone today, but can't communicate one simple message to the customers about what the deal it.. Just a simple "Hi Nexus waiters" at this point would make me happy.

Instead, I just went outside and yelled at hte snow on my pool deck. I think it will have the same influence on VZW and it won't dirty my Twitter feed. :D

they've responded to social media twice already, the confirmation that they are getting the phone after google didnt mention them by name on stage and the google wallet situation. if this trends they WILL respond! #VZWNEXUSFAIL

You don't need a "unlocked bootloader" to flash ROMs (kernels). What you CANNOT do is load a completely new OS (android) because the boot section of the phone is locked and will always try and boot into the original OS.

So any ROM on a locked bootloader phone is simply a tweak of the original android build for that device.. Thats why all Moto ROMs still have traces of Blur..

Droid 1, not locked so it can run CM. Droid X has the 2init exploit so it can also run CM with its locked bootloader..

Well, I guess this is kind of good news for me. Next Wednesday I will be testing my T-Mobile service again at the new house. If I can't get service, on Thursday after closing on the house I'll go walk into a VZW store and get me a Nexus.
 
Hey guys, I'll brb.

I'm gonna go in a little corner and weep a bit. I cry because I don't want to text on my flip phone using T9 for another week. This sucks.

ditto.

vzw ... just announce the thing. at this point the date hardly matters (well .. sorta, i guess :o. )

vzw .. just say SOMETHING. Stop giving your loyal customers the cold shoulder.

The irony of it all is they are doing it so they save face by not having to publically announce a delay.

Hey Verizon, newsflash. Your reputation is so sullied by the events surrounding this phone release, it really doesn't matter at this point. As a matter of fact, a public announcement apologizing for the delay (even WITHOUT an announced date) would actually HELP you at this point.

I just find it hard to believe they are trying to save face. You save face to avoid a big uprising which they already have. I think your reasoning for the irony shows exactly why this is not the case.

SOMEONE is scrambling to get something fixed, my guess would be Samsung (everyone else is taking a guess so I figured I would too). VZW can't put pressure on Samsung by announcing a release date given VZW is obviously the reason the game has changed (with the other versions of the Nex released) whether it be the network isn't meshing, or a certain quality/standard request imposed by VZW.

I still think if VZW was at fault AND was in charge of whatever fix is required they would have announced something by now.
