Yes we know, but the second and third bullet points changed to "Buy Now" from "Register" last night and the front page just changed within the last few hours.
When you click the "buy now" it goes to registration page.

Yeah and last night I think only one or two of the index screens said buy now, but now they all do. Still register only in the buy now pop down though.
My dad still has his first car sitting in the garage in near mint condition. It's a 1972 240Z with <80k miles. It's beautiful and runs great. Needs new suspension but that's it.
240z is where its at. True and pure sports car. No bells and whistles.

Let me tell you though, parallel parking is a huge bitch with no power steering. Still one of the most fun cars to drive around. EVERYONE looks at it. It's so funny.

Geez, there seems to be nothing but off topic video game, computer, and car talk in here... weeding through it to find ANYTHING ON TOPIC is becoming quite a pain.
Is anyone talking on this Nexus topic about the Nexus and what's going on today, or is it time to find some other source for my Nexus info and news?
As one of the offenders, sorry guilty as charged.. however, please take the time to read the first post in the thread. This is a bit of a lounge-type thread where off topic stuff is allowed. Like you, some have had issues with it at times.. however it can be used as a bit of a measuring stick. If you're seeing a slew of off topic posts, there is likely no new info. Trust me, we'd all be atwitter about it if there was. Also, the most recent info tends to be in the first post. Steven and the other mods keep it pretty much up to date with rumors, leaks and pics.
And honestly, IMO, the off topicness here and there is part of the thread's charm and has contributed greatly to the sense of community here. I've commended them privately before, but Steven, Early and OTD have done an amazing job of keeping us relatively on track and civil (though some of that has to do with the wonderful folks posting here as well) without throwing the mod powers around willy-nilly like I've seen on some boards. They deserve a lot for helping to forge this community into what it is today. This isn't really a thread, it's a conversation among friends and that's quite frankly just awesome. I'd not go anywhere else for news without bringing it back here to my Gnex family because this place is like home, and the only thing I thank Verizon for with the delays is letting me spend just a bit longer with the great folks here.
...but since you're new here I'll refrain from the off topic stuff for a bit to raise the signal-to-noise ratio on GNex news since I've got nothing today.

Well I was so close to getting my Nexus today. Called a Radio Shack and the guy told me he just got a shipment in with only 1 Nexus phone. I told him I'll be there in 30 minutes.
We got to the point that the phone was activated. When he tried to run it through the system it wouldn't let him go any further. He called a few people and realized he wasn't allowed to sell it.
He then proceeded to call Verizon to reverse the activation. I was sooo close.
It definitely doesn't feel cheap and has a real solid feel. Thinner then I though it would be.

..... and the tread has officially come to a screeching halt!
Based on the recent phandroid article describing a 1.5 to 2 hour purchase process ending in a manual override credit card charge, I'd guess that would classify as a mistake...
Being the conservative type (personally, not politically, though there is nothing wrong with that), I was waiting until my GN was on order until I did this, but since that's not happening, I decided not to wait any longer...
My good old Eris has been rooted!

I've decided to kill time by trying to get my hands on the Best Buy Ad for 12/11/11. I want to see if they advertised the Nexus in that ad.
Which brings me to my theory with all of this crap. No one advertised the Nexus (except Best Buy back on 12/1)...it makes me feel like it wasn't ever supposed to be released yet. Still something very strange about all of this.

I agree, its thin and light for the size, but feels solid. I fell in love with it all over again today when I got to demo it.

Yeah the upside to the lack of power steering is you feel everything in the road. It can deffinitly make low speed or stopped turns a b*#ch though!

I wish the anonymous person wasn't anonymous. We could be pestering him/her about every single thing, instead of killing time off-topic...
edit: hey mods, what about letting the person set up a second account, just for a week, with no identifying features, to tell us about the phone?
Not a bad idea, but my guess is they are reading this thread now and then between playing with their new toy (and yes, slightly jealous over here). Also guessing they are passing stuff to OTD as they did originally.. and quite possible she is out and about somewhere rather than on the forums.
So Anonymous.. share the info with Steven and Early too please.
Can someone show me any evidence to suggest the 12/15 target date? I saw an email earlier but it looked a bit shady...
Not doubting (yes I am), but I was curious if I missed the memo
this is the only "evidence" other than people posting "i went to a VZ store and..." stories.

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 what 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 don't think we've seen anything more "official" than that.

The 15th is confirmed just as the 9th was...by Verizon & retailers looking at their intranet and passing the info on. The only reason the 15th isn't set in stone is because Verizon hasn't sent out PR's verifying this yet. I hope they do Monday or Tuesday.
I will say if the Nexus doesn't come out on Thursday I will eat MY iPhone 4s.

I'm thinking of doing a huge run of nearby Verizon stores tonight to see if I can get at least one to sell me something.
Let's hope I can at least play with one :3
Anyways, what else did I miss besides the user who actually did end up successfully returning home with a Nexus, SamMax's almost-sale, and OTD's close call @ BB? :S

Meh... leave 'em alone. Let him/her play with the new toy and enjoy the weekend. One way or another we'll find something to drool over.
There is this delicious, hard to find, really rare mexican place here in Jersey- you should really try it out if your ever out here again.
They call it Taco Bell
