Three different representatives of Amazon Customer Support have told me that it is not up to them and that the delay is with the supplier. Amazon will not have the product on 17th of November and they expect it on December 02. Apparently it has nothing to do with their 'batches' of releases with pre-orders.

VZW had already penciled in the 17th for this phone.
Yeah, I see your point. I think that, at this point, it's like what happened with the Bionic fiasco, where they said "Coming this Summer". They waited til 2 weeks before summer was over to release it. Did they lie? No. But they hedged their bets because of whatever reason.
Their saying "coming later this year" smacks of the same thing. They're hedging their bets. Why? Who knows. I suppose it's possible that Samsung/Google are having trouble meeting launch production numbers, hence the recent delays in Europe.
Verizon is having difficulties announcing a date for a reason. At this point in time, I think the reason is because they want the RAZR to sell well. But it could be for other reasons.

Thanksgiving prevents the 24th -Thursday.

I meant announced to be released... not actually. What else could a screen protector company base their shipping dates on?

I have a feeling that we're not getting anything on the 17th, only because of the ReHound releasing that same week. Why did they move the launch to Monday? Who knows. We don't have enough info to determine the reason. It could be as simple as they're moving away from Thursdays now, or because something drastic happened.
But look at it this way. Most phone shoppers stroll into the store on a weekend, not during the week. Them releasing the RAZR on Friday gives them a full weekend all for that phone. Releasing the ReHound on a Monday and the Nexus on a Thursday won't result in any advantage for either phone. It's basically the same as releasing it on the same day. Doesn't make sense.
What does make sense is giving the ReHound a full week to sell as much as it can, and then launching the Nexus on the 21. Then, on Black Friday, you've got 3 phones to choose from.

Yep... but we all likely agree that would be a terrible release date. The 21st makes sense, if they are trying to get it out ASAP, but can't do it the week prior.

+1 on this. Their marketing campaign this weekend was huge.
Hopefully it's not for other reasons!

Either Verizon has a bunch of idiots working for them, or fake leakers suck at spelling.
Not only that, but their date lines don't even line up. Look at where the RAZR and middle red bars end on 11/28, and then look at where the "Nexxus" begins on the 28th. They're not the same 11/28...
This cannot be an official Verizon document.

Is it possible that Razr gets two weeks than Rezound releases and they get two weeks than gn releases?

The 21st for crazy obsessed people like us online. The 28th for everyone in store. Including those that bought the RAZR on 11/11 and cannot return it on the 28th b/c it's now past their return date. Makes sense.

Yeah. You know, we don't really know how these tech sites or bloggers actually vet their sources. I thought Kellex would go over the source's credibility with a fine toothed comb before posting something, but who knows. Or it could be that various good sources are telling him different things.
He posted that screenshot of training materials indicating the 17th. Then he posts this drivel that looks like a 9th grader in a computer class could mock up in about 10 minutes. Both leaks have misspellings and appear to be unfinished products.
Who knows what the frak is going on around here.
I've circled my calendar for Friday, November 25. In red. On that day, I'll either be trailing after my wife at Macy's as she picks out clothes while surfing the web on my new SGN, or at least trailing after her knowing when I will be getting my SGN for sure, or we'll be stopping in at AT&T to check out what kind of black Friday deals they have for new customers.

Don't worry, Steven. You'll be putting the 17th up there again before too long.
There's so much BS swirling around us that you might as well post a picture of a cow taking a dump in a field under "release date".

Yeah, I just think the original reason for the 14th for the rezound was because Verizon had the 17th schedule for the GNex, and wanted the rezound out first, but not before the RAZR, so they broke tradition for the Rezound. If it doesn't release till the 21st, or whenever, then it is because of a delay which Verizon wasn't aware of when they finalized the Rezound release date, whenever that was.

That stinks. At least their phones are less expensive. Skyrocket will be $249. That's what I'm planning on paying with VZ using my loyalty discount. So it's a wash.
Man, I hate that Skyrocket name, though. Sounds like a popsicle.
Come on, Verizon. My money is growing mold, you turtle-assed morons.

This thread reminds me of the Incredible thread...
I remember a new member visiting saying he had opened a new Verizon store and a HTC rep told him when the Incredible was supposed to come out, most people doubted him including myself because he was one of the many members that claimed to know inside info that in the end turned out to be completely true.
So I guess you never know what member might actually know something we don't. Take it with a grain of salt...but still take it.

Only 1 version instead of the planned 2 to both US/EU markets(16/32gb), constantly pushing back the release date is starting to really seem like serious QA/material shortage issue.
If this is true early December is probably as far as they can reasonably delay it, interesting to see if they have to release a product that's not quite ready yet.
