1/17? January?

 

[DH in DC]

He posted the convo in full. Love Tunnel confirmed mid-December.

Where? The original post was not a "conversation" only a summary, which has been interpreted a number of different ways. He promised to post the conversation later (without id'ing info) but I don't think he has done it yet, at least on this forum.

 

[BiggestManEver]

If we don't get something concrete about the release date by the end of the day today, I'm done with this forum. I can't take it.

 

[Stigy]

Open up the actual documents and you will see the date the document was prepared. It was made well before that 11/14 date. Not sure what that's all about though...

The FCC application was submitted 11/3 as per the documents.

 

[Dubbin1]

All you people saying that its because they need to sell more razr/rezounds seem to forget that they are also obligated to sell so many nexus phones. I'm tired of hearing that comment as it makes no sense at all.

 

[truelove79]

Thank you for the reality check, but no need to post the same thing twice in a few minutes.

Sorry, my work internet is terrible, especially with this site for some reason. I thought my first post failed.

Ya i just don't see them waiting till January. ICS source is out there is no way google would put off the nexus that much longer

my friend who is vzw store mgr explain that this is the typical sign they are close.

No later than this time tomorrow.

 

[iowabowtech]

I'm telling you guys, I get the feeling the whole mid-Dec thing is a ploy to either:

1.) make us elated when it's wrong, little misdirection fun at corporate HQ
2.) last minute effort to root out info leakers

ICS source code and the FCC drop within a day of each other? I really think this phone could land anytime. If they're revamping the OS, then why did Google release the ICS code in the first place? I'm not buying all this, I think we're getting the phone soon.

 

[Ninjak]

Gang, seriously, I'm sure the "1/17" was just 11/17' typoed since nothing else would make sense.

Sorry, should have quoted what Steven posted...

the source said from 1/17 to 12/17?

 

[OfTheDamned]

I still believe they are holding off the release so that Verizon can sell more of the Razrs and Rezounds because they need to get rid of stock and they also have financial obligations to HTC and especially Motorola now (you have to please the shareholders).

It isn't crying conspiracy and it isn't unsubstantiated.

Even Stevens source says that it isn't because of hardware or software issues:

Waiting on FCC maybe?


More news.

My co-worker came up to me yesterday and said that the date changed in their systems from 1/17 to 12/17. I'm not sure if that is more in line from what you've heard or not. I'll keep you updated if I hear any other changes on my end. Thanks for all of the information you posted on this release!

Saturday? Me thinkth this be a holder of place and not a true date of release.

There might be a problem with the 17th. I haven't heard anything official, and I'm even more out of the loop now that (************) , but I'm hearing that there are problems with possible delays into early to mid December. Nothing definite. But it has nothing to do with hardware issues. I've been told that it doesn't have anything to do with software issues either. If it was they would just release it early and do OTA updates like with the Bionic. Seems like it's more a "corporate" decision than anything else.

RAZR isn't an option in my opinion, but the Rezound is a great phone with a beautiful screen, in case people want to take advantage of the extended holiday return period while they wait for the Galaxy Nexus. Just be sure not to drop it, ha.

Sorry I couldn't bring you better news.

I was to the store and totally agree with The Source about the Razr for three reasons:

1) Sound quality
2) Screen resolution- screen text is crisper
3) Size- If feels smaller and narrower, easier to grip. There is more border around the Razr so it is wider and because it's thinner, it feels awkward in my hand.

I was surprised, but I preferred the Rezound to the Razor.

Is it typical for Verizon to carry accessories for a phone months ahead of release? I could see a week but a month? Especially with holiday season approaching you would think they would want the space for stuff they actually have for sale.

I know someone already posted it here but...

So we have phones en route to Verizon and they are going to sit on them for an entire month (based on Source #2's Dec. 17th)...ehh, I'm not buying it.

I should clarify that I'm not buying that actually being the day and like OTD said, it being a placeholder. Not doubting Steven's sources necessarily.

 

[clipperqb]

VZ probably feels they're doing a favor by beating their promise of "by the end of the year"

 

[jbdan]

Don't get your hopes up people. There was a whole month between when the Bionic hit the FCC and when it was released, ditto for the RAZR. This pretty much means we won't see the Nexus until mid December.

My hopes are always up

 

[Sushibagel]

I still think it releases this week

 

[Reborn58]

Please, Verizon...release the damn phone so I don't have a heart attack reading this forum.

 

[statepenn03]

I'm thinking the 21st online only release right now. So I will be staying up late in order to try and order it at midnight, if it's not available then I'll be up around 6 AM EST to see if I can order it then.

 

[cusjs]

no need to post the same thing 3 times when we have been discussing it for the past half hour.

sorry for my excitement won't happen again, not
