It's a small sampling of VZW's overall market/customer base, but there sure are a lot of people caving lately...That's precisely what VZW wants, I'm sure.

I think it comes down to where the bugs are. Rumors are the bugs are in MyVerizon.apk. Verizon cares deeply about this app, and if it isn't working, are going to hold it until it does.

Some more from him or retweet by him.

@blurlessX Good info as that is about the word I've heard for the past month+. IE preOrder wk of 12/5 and nothing shipping prior to 12/12

@bgill55 GN preorder is in the first week if December for a December 15 ship date.

@bgill55 @blurlessX I'd agree as its the same thing I've been saying for awhile now already just not with specific dates stated is all

Transformer Prime isn't the name of a character, but I bet Hasbro could have made a case out of that if they wanted to. I'm guessing Asus paid Hasbro. Maybe Samsung decided it was better to just change the name rather than pay for using "Nexus Prime." Or, maybe the name was changed for another reason entirely. Who knows?

I really hope after this is all said and done, someone does some bridge burning and tells the real story of why the phone was delayed.

... It obviously has to be released sometime in the next 90 days. If everyone predicts everyone of those 90 days, someone is bound to be right.

Want to talk about something else? I worked on the TI audio codec of the Galaxy Nexus that normally gets paired with OMAP4..

Behind the glass: a detailed tour inside the Samsung Galaxy Nexus -- Engadget

Yeah, it's my baby. Maybe that's why I want the phone so badly. Or when the whole "volume control" issue veered it's ugly head, I was expecting a call. Happy they solved it with software.

They don't care what phone you buy just as long as you stay a customer or they take customers away from the competition. Keeping you as a customer is what they want but delaying a phone release to 'force' someone to pick a different phone is tom-foolery

That's not what I meant. I meant they want to sell you a device, ANY device. And if people here give up on the SGN, that's all the sooner they get a new 2 year contract started.

C'mon man, cut the kid some slack. He just wants this thing like we do. At his age, I was the same way, as I am sure most of us were.

Now that we're older and have been scorned and beaten into submission by the world, we know better, but it's no reason to rag on him

Back on topic, I'm very curious to see if we will ultimately discover all of the true reasons for the liquid release date, or if the launch will simply fade into infamy without those questions being resolved.

Either way, as long as the Nexus is in my hands before the end of the year, I can deal with it

So it goes something like this:
1) Google creates ICS
2) Google sends ICS to Samsung to create a phone around it.

2a) Phone is tested and gets out to Europe.
2b) Bugs are located and quickly fixed by google.
2c) Phone works in Europe.

3) Samsung sends the phone to Verizon
3a) Verizon can't figure out the difference between their a$$ and elbow, and breaks the phone and doesn't want to sell it anymore.

Like those of you, I also emailed a few people on the executive email list this morning saying that I had two lines out of contract and waiting for an upgrade because our old OGDs are dying.

I just got an email back from ExecutiveRelations@verizonwireless.com with a complaint case number and a personal email from someone with the title Executive Correspondent to call back between 7am-3pm with her direct line.

Did you guys also get this email?

Anyone notice how he hasn't been around today. Yesterday I am sure was a school day. Poor guy is probably hanging his head in shame/disappointment

If they are still sending out units for testing it doesn't sound like the December 8th rumor has any validity at all.

My brain tells me not to put any faith in these dates and people with "sources" but my heart just wants to believe them so bad that I find myself actually being let down when yet another one is proven to be made up.... Sad, really...

Unfortunately, the overall demand for the phone is not nearly as high as we here like to think. Probably a good percentage of the people interested in the prime are right here in this thread.

Can you make sure to inquire about LAUNCH in 2011 as they declared in their October 21st?
