Got the Razr yesterday thinking I was getting in on the long return window. Looks like the window started today. Anyone know if Verizon would make an exception in case I want to return the Razr?

So that it's in the system under today's date, you'd likely have to return it for a refund, pay the restocking fee, and rebuy it all in one shot.

I've received a call back from Verizon Corporate. Does anyone know how to take a Google Voice voicemail and share it? I missed his call and plan on calling him back after I get off work today.

Here is what the message said:

"Good afternoon, this call is for xxxxxx xxxxx. Hi Mr. xxxxx my name is Kegan, I'm calling from the Presidents office of Verizon Wireless regarding your email I had received regarding you wanted to get some information about the Galaxy Nexus. I'd like to speak to you in regards to this concern, if you can sir give me a call back area code (412) 266-xxxx. Thank you for being a loyal customer here at Verizon Wireless and enjoy the rest of your day."

I will call him for you!!!!

FORGET YOUR JOB JUST CALL HIM NOW! Take one for the team!!!!!!

:D

I wish I could but I can't. I get off at 3:45. I will call then and post what he said to me when I get home tonight around 6:30 after basketball practice. I coach JV Basketball and have practice from 4:30-6:00 tonight. I MAY be able to call around 3:00, no promises. If I can call then I will post prior to leaving work today.

Any suggestions as to what I should say?

I plan on obviously asking for a release date but expect to get shot down. Let me know what else you want me to ask. We do, finally, have the ear of the office of the President (of Verizon Wireless).

Just make sure you call him before HIS day is over. Hopefully he is still in the office when you do.

see if you can find out when they plan to let us know anything, after you get a release date out of him. then we'll see if the 2 play off of each other and we'll know if he was being semi-honest and/or had any idea what he was talking about

For Reference

The Iphone FCC filings
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=134990&fcc_id=%27BCG-E2430A%27

Summary: Asks for 60 days confidential (from 9/19/11), but everything was made available earlier than the 60 days (10/4/11 to be specific)


Edit: If it hasn't clicked yet, 10/4/11 was the day it was announced.

Interesting... so Apple made a phone call to the FCC to make it release earlier?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but VZW did not submit this phone to the FCC... Samsung did. Maybe this is Google (yesterday) and Samsung (today) telling VZW to release it already?

Reviews were good. 10 hours with heavy 4G use.

Reviews (plural) or review (singular)? I don't see how anyone can have a true feel for battery life on Rezound yet. RAZR, yes. 10 hours with heavy use on 4G? Do you really believe that? I'm not being surly...just asking. If you've owned and used a LTE handset...and you very well may have...I'd be surprised if you put a lot of faith in that purported 10 hours with heavy use claim. Can you tell I'm skeptical? lol

Just be polite. (I'm not saying you won't be but a friendly reminder)

Just be very appreciative, but don't be shocked if you get a very nicely-worded canned answer. You may even let him know that you're well aware that Verizon doesn't go into detail about unannounced products (ala Apple), but maybe he could narrow down the release range if not an exact date. You could also offer him your soul in exchange, for which OTD would be happy to make you into a vampire, I'm sure. :)

In all seriousness, thanks for doing this for the gang here.

Not sure, but from the way the Exec sounded on the Fox interview, it sounds as if Verizon's driving this weasel and baboon show.

BGR Review "As far as the battery, standby mode has been excellent. With normal usage on and off throughout the day, the phone and its 1,620 mAh battery seemed to make it just fine as long as I remembered to recharge when I got home. Even when putting the phone under pressure with constant 4G LTE web browsing, email, video playback and continuous music in the background, the Rezound held up very well."

I guess the 10 hours was my interpretation.

i think we can throw this week out of the game, wouldnt stores both direct and indirect be getting shipments of them by now if they were going to be selling them in 2 days? if they dont have any on hand by friday, i would say monday is out as a possibility as well

In store sales probably, but they can be sitting in a warehouse somewhere for a soft (online) launch

Unless they are doing a web only for starters - then the stores truly wouldn't know. Yes, I know there are accessories in the stores but stranger things have happened.

Agreed. And even if everyone was told to be 100% hush-hush, I would have expected at least one leaked image of a shipment box if not the phone's box itself! Perhaps the web-only 21st, but I still am leaning towards mid-Dec now given the recent developments.

IF the RAZR & ReZound sales are as bad as we think, and IF VZ is concerned about 4th quarter sales, they should launch this puppy sooner rather than later. Another possibility is they're concerned about quarter 1 sales and holding the G-Nex back for that, but I don't think Google will allow VZ to stall the American release that long. I bet we see it launch within 2 weeks.

Ugh, watching some No Reservations on Netflix and of course Bourdain had to throw out the word "nexus" and OF COURSE I throw my head to the screen in desperation...

They only have to have them in-stores the day before the release, so tomorrow or Thurs to release this week.... :)
