You couldn't pay me to look at that.

To bring some pessimism in the forums, it feels wayyyyy toooo much like last week in here. All these confirmations, forum title changes, my rep just texted me come pick up your Nexus on Thursday........ I'm getting a really really bad feeling we are all setting ourselves for a disappointment...... sorry to be a debbie......... I just don'e want to feel like i did last Friday......very depressing

Totally understand. I debated even mentioning that I got that text from my CSR. For me that text was a good sign, but after last week, it hardly qualifies as confirmation that this phone will actually launch on Thursday. We'll see...

To quote Colin Cowherd, "that sounds like a you problem"

I saw it, nothing wrong with how they did it.

OT:

I don't know. I keep picturing her in the Parent Trap, when she was still a sweet kid. Kind of pervy to look at her naked.

Also, she's now so trashy, it's just sad.

Can you see any heroin tracks, or are those airbrushed out? :p
 
Just got a call from my rep here at the Verizon corporate store (Jacksonville, FL) and he said the have a "tentative" release date of the 15th. He asked me when I could come in on that day and I took the 9:00 appointment (they are not opening early) to go pick up my phone. So a Nexus is sitting in the store with my name on it and I will have it less than 48 hours from now... UNLESS Verizon screws this up again.
I am hoping that they will honor the $100 discount that the CSR noted on my account yesterday so that along with my last NE2 discount will get me out the door at $150+tax.
As usual, take all of this with a huge grain of salt, but I did not call them. They called me. It will be a huge PR nightmare if this release does not happen.
But they are Verizon and while they may "Rule the Air", they also "Ruin the Release" every time they get a chance.
I am choosing to be very optimistic at this point.

I feel the same way.. I hate to be a kill joy. BUT, I just don't see the sense in not marketing this phone to the highest possible extent! I was really expecting to hear something Monday. This phone would crush the iphone if marketed properly and Verizon knows that. My gut says, No way they put this phone out without a week of promotion. Two huge reasons :1 Its Christmas the biggest shopping season of the year. 2: This phone is a "carrier jumper". They're going to get new verizon custumers with this phone. New customers are a cell phone company's bread and butter.

Don't get me wrong I hope I eat my words and I'm holding my phone on Thursday. In my humble opinion I think it would be the worst/biggest mistake of Verizons phone selling carrer to release without at least a weeks worth of promotion.

That being said I feel like 1 of 2 things will happen.

1. There is enough buzz about this phone, via- word and mouth, so dump all pre-promotion and launch on Thursday. (Why waste money?) Then they promote hard after Christmas ...we get the promotion of a lifetime, Billboards, T.V, Contests, Celeb endorsements, ect... and it CRUSHES the iphone.

2. They push till after Christmas because obviously there is something wrong(bugs,legal issues, ect) with this phone. Why wouldn't you release before Christmas??, Honestly, lets just be real! THEN.. we get the promotion of a lifetime, Billboards, T.V, Contests, Celeb endorsements, ect... and it CRUSHES the iphone.

This phone WILL be promoted. It's too big not to be! The real question is when??

Please be 1, Please be 1, Please be 1....

Am I the only one not getting excited until we get an official (and by official I mean actually official) from Verizon?

You're probably going to have to wait until Thursday morning for official word. It's looking like Verizon isn't taking any risks on this release and will probably just send out a press release saying, "The Galaxy Nexus is now available in stores and online." The longer we go without hearing that the 15th isn't the date, the more excited people will get. It seems no news is good news here.
