OP updated to reflect new date. Let me tell you, I'm not happy about it.

Ugh. Does this mean you've heard from the Love Tunnel?

 

[BLD]

You are gonna have to get creative, because you did say no biting.

I don't remember it saying anything about sucking their blood through a straw though.

Edit: The ones that come with the kid's juice boxes would work quite well. They're already pointed.

Totally bogus. 12/4 is a Sunday.

*edit* yeah, my humor/sarcasm detector failed me there

 

[IndecisiveElle]

Ok I'm done putting in a little extra effort at work - time to go drink the rest of a bottle of wine, snuggle some puppies, and read. That should cheer me up right?!

Edit: PM me if there is any GOOD news

 

[jmanderson10]

I'm out. No more forum or waiting. Gonna check out some phones on ATT and maybe make the switch. I certainly don't want to fall in to the go ahead and buy these "other phones" trap. Only way I can voice my displeasure I guess.

lol

That's funny.

Guys, even if 12/8 does come true, that's only like 2 1/2 weeks more of a wait. That's nothing!

What, a pay period?

We'll have this bad boy in our hands in no time.

While I enjoy reading your positive posts Han, this post is actually a negative. Got any idea people have been waiting 2-2.5 weeks? Of course you do because you've been doing it yourself.

Every time it's the same things from the same people, "Have it in no time" "Just wait it'll be even better" "Patience you must have." I'm on a storm 1 (1XEV cdma)... I'm the epitome of patience this year for a phone.

I just don't think you should be our cheerleader if you're going more up and down daily than the majority of us especially with some new phone in your hands while you wait. Ever start tallying 2 weeks in hours, minutes, seconds? We've had enough countdowns to do so.

I'd rather just hear "shucks, we have to wait longer. Alright, time to pull out the back up storage of patience and salt." Cause at least it's realistic.

Steven,

I've heard that some bugs came up but were fixed. That was before our last communication. I haven't heard December 8, but I will (XXXXXXXXXX) (Steven58 removed text because it could identify Source) this evening and will get back to you as soon as I can.

Regards,

XXXXXXX

My Response to The Source:

I appreciate your doing this. I'm also pretty upset.. not mad, discouraged.

 

[HanSolo]

Totally bogus. 12/4 is a Sunday.

Look at the year. It's a joke.

 

[Incredidroid]

Yes, I've READ all of that just as you have. But it doesn't mean jack. Here's a news flash: Not everything you see/read on the web or its various incarnates is true.

AGAIN ... I want the phone also, but you don't see me threatening to cut my wrists because of a delay. If you or anyone else can't wait 3 weeks ( if that even ends up being the case ) for a phone, then you should spend some time in northern Africa ... and then maybe you'll gain some perspective.

Not trying to be high & mighty. Just sayin'.

Actually that is exactly what it sounded like you were trying to be.

Like when someone says "I don't mean to be rude, but you are the stupidest person I have ever met."

Comparing anything tech related to the problems in a third world country is stupid, no offense

Yeah I hear you, but you have to do the honest thing, and this info just sounds too believable. I hope your source disproves it though. You can vent if you need to. I do.

Phil at AC is pretty reliable, and seems to have good VZW sources. as someone posted earlier (and as i posted several weeks back) he's the same one who said back in July that a Sammy Nexus, with 4.6" screen and ICS was coming to VZW. so, if he says that VZW's bloatware is the holdup, i tend to give credence to that.

and, to your point, even if the bloat doesn't affect the OS, do you think VZW is going to release it?? i doubt it. if for nothing else than to save face, VZW will hold up the release until it gets its bloat working properly with the OS.

Making this even MORE ALL ON VZW as the bloat is something most Nexians are 100% against in the first place!!

I really wish some lawyers would start a lawsuit over this sorta stuff and the rules of the 700mhz spectrum. I am sure they aren't technically breaking any laws, but seems like something VZW could have a difficult time defending if attacked well over it in court.

At least check out the HTC device first. If it wasn't for Nexus coming, I'd be extremely happy with that. The screen is amazing.

 

[cereal killer]

I heard the December 8 release date about 4 weeks ago. Even posted about it in here. I thought these guys were being clowns. Guess not. Who broke that release date?

 

[carneyman33]

Google should just release it on their own now online and let Verizon launch it with their 2 apps on the 8th or whatever in stores.

 

[jkc120]

Look at the year. It's a joke.

heheh yeah, I totally glanced at 12/4 and failed to detect the humor

 

[X24]

I go to bed at 2 with the release date set at 11/21. Wake up at 5 with it at 12/8. Rabble rabble rabble.

 

[JesusTheKing]

I have many VZW Corp stores by my house, in NJ, and I refuse to give them my money for the GN when it launches if there is in fact a delay. BB here I come! They always are good to me so why not give them my cash!

Are you suggesting that it take release earlier at bb

You're right. I'm not good in a cheer leader role anyway.

Let's burn down Verizon!!

 

[AppsRUs]

Occupy Verizon, anyone?

I mean...without us, they're nothing, right? Bloatware, terrible communication, marketing...all of this is a bit past ridiculous. I don't have an issue paying $299 for a great phone, but what I do have an issue with is giving my money to a company who could care less about it's consumers.

 

[Sushibagel]

OP updated to reflect new date. Let me tell you, I'm not happy about it.

I am getting so sick of all this back and forth on the release date. Verizon need to just release the damn thing already. If it's not out by the 16th Verizon has lost another customer. I'm just sick of all their shenanigans.

 

[AntimonyER]

I doubt Google would intentionally exclude Verizon from future Nexus phones out of spite. I'm sure Google wants the Nexus phone to be available on every carrier in the world.

I do, however, hope that they never again give Verizon an exclusive. That was clearly a mistake.

Yes, I agree. Verizon knows they can take their sweet time. But Google likes to do the exclusive bit. So that will exclude Verizon from ever being considered again. Its not out of spite, its a business call, they are losing money because people are buying other phones when they could be buying this one.

December 8th was an inside job! Wake up sheeple!!!!!!

At least check out the HTC device first. If it wasn't for Nexus coming, I'd be extremely happy with that. The screen is amazing.

Agreed. Checked out the rezound today and it's pretty impressive, and not nearly as thick as all the pics make it seem. Seriously considering renting it so I have something to play with over my 5 day weekend next week.
