Hmm..what is this supposed to mean BB???

I can't comment on either of you. I will get in trouble.

I gotta 114" screen behind me that I am going to have it on, no wings though...

Same here Microsoft gave it to me free from my Xbox.

How did you get it for free? I haven't paid for my PPV yet but have an Xbox 360....?

A very nice guy from Radio Shack just called me and said that I'm on the list, and he's already gotten 4 other calls about it today. (I'd called earlier and they said they'd get back to me).

He did say that the 15th was the day. I asked him how definite he was, and he said "We got an email directly from Verizon telling us that launch day is the 15th."

Does anyone know if I'd be able to use my loyalty discount at Radio Shack? Or is that only for Verizon stores?

Probably a ninja'd post cos I am behind but my Radio Shack cannot honor a loyalty discount tied to a specific date. For example, my final NE2 date is March 15. Radio Shack can't access that discount until that day. Or else I would be getting it from my buddy there instead of from my buddy at a premium seller of VZW.

don't know if you guys have seen this yet but here's the VZW Gnex getting a 4G LTE Speedtest and getting insane speeds, check this
Galaxy Nexus insane 4G LTE speedtest - YouTube

That is sick! If I get anywhere CLOSE to that I will be floored.

I did the speed test for my home internet Road Runner with Turbo Boost and I'm not that fast.

I'm leaving Best Buy now. They said they're not getting in until the 15th. Fine I said. Can I pay for it now? No. But call us on Wednesday night and will put one aside from you. Fine. Whatever.

Cheetara tells me:

Someone told me that it's being held up because they want it to release on bigger shopping day. Missed BF. Christmas falls on Sunday so that weekend is dead. Weekend of 17,18 will be huge, makes more business sense.

So, I'm sure it's speculation, but that's what some are saying over there in V land.

Hm, well, whatever the reason, at least we have a probable release date.

...If they intentionally missed a whole weekend of sales in December than I will have significantly less respect for Verizon. Thats just silly.

Awesome! Defense is where it's at. I played both long stick midi and defense in lacrosse, and defensive end and center in football, and I'm a center in men's league basketball!- I must say I did enjoy being on defense- decking a quarterback or little attack men, doesn't get better than that.

I coach a 1st grade team (we won 6-4 today)

I coach a 3rd grade team (we won 28-24 today)

I coach a JV team we won two games this week.

I either have 2 hours of basketball practice or a game everyday for my JV team and then two hours of practice for my other two teams per week.

It's a LOT of work but I love my 3 boys and I LOVE basketball. Being 6'4" 210, it's what I did growing up. My youngest is an amazing point guard. My 3rd grader is 5' tall and my oldest is a shut down defender (never really an offensive threat but he can flat shut down most anyone on the court).

That doesn't make sense. If they had launched it on Friday, it would have had this weekend AND next weekend before Christmas to sell. I don't think more people are going to buy if they release later. If anything, the opposite is true, as more and more people get sick of waiting and either buy a different phone or take their business to another carrier.

Yeah, that makes no sense as a release earlier would help build even broader awareness before that weekend. The closer to that weekend the less those who are less informed than us ever realize it's a christmas option.
