Is it safe to assume that 40% of Steven's "Thanked" are from people thanking his "I have news and will give it to you later" posts, while 55% are the actual news posts, and 5% other? :p j/k Steven, please don't ban me or put me on probation!

Also, thanks for the db error we're all getting trying to refresh to see this "news" :)

Well I just got word from an excellent source that indeed the 15th is the day. Hot damn could this be the end of an epic journey? I had forgot all about someone I know well having a connection. I should have remembered this all along.

The myth of not being able to activate...is just that. It activated just fine....I will explain when I turn

Can you return an empty box with your name on it, they can scan it in as returned, but, you'll have the contents with you? Just a thought... (a devious thought, but, a thought none the less).

once it trends the blogs will cover it, then it will have a lot more attention. anyone know how we can get phandroid to write up something about this "movement"?

I don't think they would do something like that after all the issues earlier in the thread when people wanted to write up an angry letter. I know we aren't writing anything mean now, we are just upset, but I dunno if they would wanna get involved in something that says "verizon fail."
But maybe someplace else will take notice and help. I'm doing my part and have tweeted it 2 or 3 times already

Any chance we could get a pic, with a ruler or something in the background, showing the difference in thickness between the OEM and extended battery back covers?

Seconding this request, want to make sure the phone with extended battery will still fit in my TPU case. Also, how did you get the extended battery, Hilbe?

Steven,

I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you. [Personal information deleted (the reason why s/he was delayed)]

As far as the delay, it's a total cluster $%#^. It was most definitely slated for the 9th, and I was expecting to congratulate you guys in a post today. I've gotten a few calls over the past few days about the delay, but I had to put it on hold because of [personal information withheld].

The situation, as I've been told, is that it's all corporate decisions. NOTHING is wrong with the phone or with supply. I don't know the details, sorry. I've heard that they are shooting for the 15th, but it's not definite.

Regards,

XXXXXX

This is good news to me because I was starting to think the delay was originating from some kind of major issue with the phone, BUT WHY DID I THINK THAT? I HELD THE PHONE MYSELF? (I'm going insane).

Enjoy!

OK here's the skinny...

I went to buy the phone thinking there's no way I'm walking out of this store with it. The activation went through just fine but they couldn't ring up the sku.

So they hand wrote a purchase agreement and copied my credit card (they were assuming they could run it later today when the sku was active) they never got word from their boss stating anything different from the 9th as being the launch date.

When I got home and pulled the phone out of the box I seen they called & texted, they were frantically trying to reach me of course I knew it was it was all about.
I consider these people friends and wouldn't want to see them fired. I am unemployed right now and I realize how tough it is out there.

but here is the good news...When I called Verizon to make certain that my upgrade eligabity was reset, I explained to the rep what happened. The Verizon rep was very forthcoming and told me that Verizon has not deleted the Nexus from their info guide but only hidden it, she says the release date is there and it's the 15th. I asked how she knew this and she said she really wants the Nexus so she went digging and found it, of course we all know that could change, but I don't doubt the rep for 1 second (and I usually doubt everything) that the 15th is the target date.

I, along with a lot of other people, got a sms from local corp stating the 15th. To me, it's the most solid info we've had seeing as how the 9th info was there then taken away. Not set in stone per se, but looks awfully good. For those who don't believe....move right along :)

i've been retweeting almost everyone, and @mentioning blog sites to try to get them on board. one tweet from @phandroid or @droid_life would help ALOT
 
I really just want this thing before the 17th so I can show it off to all my iPhone addicted cousins. Their whole family are iDrones and don't understand how anything without an Apple logo on it can even make outgoing phone calls...

Is that sad? haha
 
Isn't anyone starting to get concerned about Verizon's obvious control over this supposed "Google" device. Most people want the GNEX because of it's vanilla android experience and the fact that updates will come straight from Google and not be held-up/screwed up by Verizon. Well I'm starting to worry that Verizon is never going to let that happen. The phone has been out for 3 weeks on other carriers globally yet Verizon refuses to release it. I think they are taking all control away from Google.

Thanks for the info, did you buy the phone from a Verizon corporate store or a third party seller? Have you actually returned the phone yet?
Click to expand...

Yes I returned it...:( 3rd party, there's no way a Corporate store will sell it today.

That was my first time holding one, I must admit the overall feel is so much better than the GS2, it feels way more solid and more ergonomic and comfortable with no bloat it's so smooth and so fast. I will gladly wait 6 more days.
