Not sure if this was already talked about, but whatever happened to the samsung illusion (which per the one screenshot was supposed to launch on 11/18)? I don't see on verizon's website which is not cool.

BB curve, and Samsung Illusion were supposed to launch on the 17th, but didn't.

Samsung illusion is phone id 5726 on verizon's site, was refreshing all day on the 17th, praying for it to show up.

Yea sorry I meant the 17th, I looked all day yesterday and today too and saw nothing. Lol we should just disregard that part of the screenshot since it doesn't work in our favor

If it ain't monday, it ain't looking good for november.

Thought as much. Ah, well, I really can't complain. My phone screen is still turning on occassionally, I can survive a week or two more :D

But that's what I told myself on November 3rd too.

Anyway, as likely as Dec 8 seems, I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled on Monday. Maybe VZW will through us a bone ;)

I am truly sad now guys. I just got out of the hospital after being there for a medical emergency. So I come here hoping to have something positive in my life after what happened to me, and I hear our phones may be further delayed. Please, someone tell me it isn't so!

On a side note, I loved the Verizon corporate video. That definitely put a smile on my face. Thanks to whomever made it! I needed a little pick me up from seeing the forum title change. I guess that's also why I come on here. Everyone is generally good spirited (towards each other, but not Verizon :). So I came back to my Nexus family to cheer me up. Too bad Verizon isn't playing nice. Lol

I'm afraid this roller coaster is half a twist away from pushing me in to an iPhone...

Please no.

why would they get to watch?

Lol. Hmmmm. :p

I'll totally do it if no one else has already!

Already did :D

Yay!
I've been so busy keeping up and having to do things in real life (yuck) that I haven't even been on Facebook since Tuesday night

I think they might be pushing those back to make room for the SGN. It could be just wishful thinking on my part but from a Verizon perspective it would make more sense to release the SGN first and then the other two phones (because they're gonna make a ton of money on the SGN versus two not-so-smartphones).

I have a confession to make. I recently frequented the Rezound forum and I have gone to a VZW store and touched the Rezound and I liked it. HOWEVER, I want my first Android phone to be the best and I will hang in there for the Galaxy Nexus.

If they do pull the 16GB storage junk, then the phone better be the same price as the 4S 16GB, $199. Otherwise, that's just really pushing it.

Took two tries of reading this before I understood. I was wondering how you knew about any of my curves. Lol.

Using that theory, they should've pushed back the rezound or razr, cause the BB and illusion aren't in the same selling category as the GNex.

Hey EarlyMon, fancy seeing you here :p

Today has been one of lurk days around the forums, just posted a few times today. ;) :)

What a day around here, yes?

I'm still floored by Google Nexus page update to remove the 32 GB reference, I really am.

For those that missed it - the UK model is clearly 16/32 on their web -

Galaxy Nexus

But srsly - no way I could keep lurking after brad's video - genius!

Hope everything is well with you. Verizon is NO good for your health at the moment :p

If they only have the 16 gb they will definitely be charging $299 for it. Which is really lame because everything else has 32 and it can't cost them much to have 32 instead. It would be obvious skimping imo

Wishful thinking can be healthy ;)
