Well my favorite show (community) just got the mid-season bench so the only thing that can make my night better would be a Galaxy Nexus release date for the GSM version.

He's just trying to share info....if you don't want to believe it based on what evidence he has given, that's fine. I'm still skeptical that it's the 28th, I still think we're looking at a 17th or 21st soft launch, but I'm glad that he's offering this info if it is indeed true.

Just called 3 different verizon stores here were the responses i got:
Q: Do you know an accurate release date for the Galaxy Nexus?
A: 1st Rep. said by the end of the year, 2nd Rep. said within a month, the 3rd Rep. said within this month. All three said these were all approximations and really don't have a clue....and that I would have information most likely the same time they would.
Q: Have you received any accessories in yet?
A: No, nothing. Accessories usually arrive between a week and half to 4 days before a launch. The RAZR accessories arrived 1 and half weeks before it launched and the Rezound stuff got here four days ago.
Q: Has a Samsung Rep come into your store for a product demo?
A: Two reps said nope but the third from (Palo Alto, CA) said a Google Engineer came in today and i got to play with the device a bit, working on Verizon. The engineer also said there were issues with connecting to Exchange Servers which could be one of the bugs the forums you are reading have been talking about. (I'm guessing he reads this thread).
NOTE: Now we know the "bugs" are legit...****in P3Droid was right.
Sorry couldn't get much info for you guys. At least the reps were very enthusiastic about the launch and plan to get the phones themselves. Maybe if we keep calling in they will bitch to their manager about not having info for us and then the manager will bitch to his regional manager etc..

I get the skepticism. I really do. It was a phone conversation. I don't record that stuff because we are friends and pass information to each other all the time. So I can't show you anything. Look. I'm a fan of this phone like you guy's. Big fan. I normally don't chim in on these things because most of the phones we sell are crap. But this is different as you all know. I would never say false information to get you guy's all in a frenzy. You do that well enough on your own. I'm just trying to share information that I normally don't because I care about you guy's.

I have (had) the Rezound, no Verizon stores had accessories until today near me. So any Verizon stores not having accessories for the Nexus doesn't worry me a bit.

Well then that contradicts everything else people are saying. P3 said the connection was good. And a radio problem wouldn't be a "stability" issue.
Where'd you "hear" that?

It honestly doesn't make a huge difference to me if the phone is released the 17th, the 28th, or early December. What really irritates me about this release is VZW in ability to simply give a release date
I don't put much if any truth in the new rumors about problems with ICS... a Samsung VP (i think might have been a google person) was on GMA last week showing of the phone and said it was in VZW court to release.
VZW - just give us a release date and I will patiently wait, whether it be a few day or a couple weeks, for the phone to be released. In the meantime... your inability to effectively manage the release of a highly anticipated phone has me considering leaving VZW. I will not buy nor do I want one of your other phones. The longer you wait the more chance a different carrier will release a phone that will catch my eye.
End Rant... sorry but had to get that off my chest

If you were this excited about the Casio Gzone coming out it wouldn't be any different with Verizon they are almost always tight lipped about devices. (excluding the recent Razr)

Wasn't LTE the problem with the Bionic too? I'm telling you, there has to be something wrong with this phone for it to still be MIA.

That is better than anything we've gotten so far. So we know it is coming out sometime in the next 16 days. I feel better now.

I'll be honest...I'm getting to the point where I don't even wish to speculate when it's coming out. I just want a firm release date, wether it's this month or next month. I'm tired of all the rumors that don't hold true, and the speculation and the headaches and the overall confusion this phone is causing. I think I speak for most of us here when I say that a solid release date would end a lot of the madness and would actually give people something firm to look forward to and hold out a little longer.
A lot of people are tired of waiting, and for good reason! If I didn't have things to hold me over for the release, and such an interest in a pure google experience I would've been jumped on the ReZound bandwagon.
I just think that a little communication by Verizon, Samsung, Google or whoever would go an extremely long way in satiating our interest in this device.
End rant.

I would like to say yes, but as I stated above I wont believe anything until VZW says it publicly. Also, no tellign if he was specifically talking about the US launch. At least no telling that by the tweet.

Does anyone happen to remember if the source code was released prior to the first 2 nexus phones? Just couldn't remember if this was standard procedure...

It must be nice being an Apple/iPhone follower. They announce the 4S and it was released 10 days later.
It has been almost a month since the Nexus was announced, and we STILL don't even have a release date.
True, but you don't see too many iPhone users give an Oscar type acceptance speech while signing the contract only to drop to their knees in the middle of a Verizon store, start crying and screaming out, "I've got it! I've got it! Do you hear me AF?!?!? I've FINALLY got it!!!!!"
So, we at least have that going for us.

The only thing better than having the phone will be knowing which people were just a bunch of windbags posting nonsense.

And this is why I'm sick of Verizon controlling firmware updates:
DROID Incredible Finally Receiving Gingerbread Update Right Now? – Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog
Only like a year after it came out.
