Guys! don't know if anyone has pointed this out but

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0 Smartphone | Verizon Wireless

no other input into the preorder url does that

The first link redirects me to:

well looks like im getting my case a day early

looks like its shipping straight from my state, when i ordered it, the predicted date was Wednesday. just wish i had a phone to put in it

Nothing beats amazon shipping.. I ordered my TPU case and OTG cable friday at 10pm and it was delivered this morning at 1:32pm.... I used that free super saver shipping over $25

I'd remove that pic if I where you. You posted your tracking number and a quick internet search of your screen name yielded your first and last name. I'm sure if someone wanted to they could get more info and change the delivery address with UPS. I don't think anyone here would do something like that, but just remember to be safe.

no, that was an html fail on my part, I fixed it

PURE SPECULATION:
You know, Samsung's newest marketing concept/line is STOP WAITING - the commercials are going up against people waiting in line for the Apple store to open at 9AM. It therefore makes PERFECT sense to do a "soft launch" - avoid the massive crowds and lines by not creating them. Verizon remains silent, and therefore we can all simply walk in - NOT WAIT IN LINE and get what we want.

Really, a very unique approach at marketing...never say anything. No major announcements, no DOORS OPEN AT 9AM - just simply start selling the phone.

Then, after the holidays, start with a campaign, and hit the masses - boost your 1Q12 sales numbers as needed.

Smart, really. BUUUUT, not at all what we, as consumers and what the bloggers and certainly not what the CSRs are used to.

Most likely more disappointment.

jbdan · Dec 5, 2011

The morning crew is going to have a heck of a whole lotta reading to do. Leaks at night, disappointment during the day that has been the MO for how long now? This might finally be the last of this coaster ride.

Planogram in retail refers to the way products are displayed. They get specific designs. For example, that's why all Best Buys are very similar...they follow the same planogram for products. So what they are saying here is that their display design will be loaded to their internal system so that stores know how to set it up properly for display.

Quoted in agreement.
When I worked at BBY we would get new plano's for new releases (Movies, games, CD's, as well as other items) Sometimes we would get them for just changing things but they usually refer to them as a store reset but you still received a plano as a "map" of where things go.

yes he was talking about transformer prime and it has to do with his money allotment that he has to spend on either a tablet or phone.

Oh wow. I never even thought of that. What a stoopid I am.

Dang, I have school at 8 AM M,T,Th,F and 9:12 AM on Wednesday. For some reason middle school started at 7 AM and elementary school started at 9 AM. Because screw logic/proven research that shows that middle and high schoolers need the most sleep >_>

Lucky, 7:30 for me everyday

How goofy is this article!?

Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Technology for the Gods

One example of the absurdity- he lists the Nexus as having fortified glass yet he says this:

"Both have the same display, while the Galaxy Nexus is lacking a Gorilla Glass display, making it more prone to scratches which really hurt any device owner in the long run."

Umm, okay!?

Flat Earth Society.

There real question is who in this thread will be first to get one (ie., they know a senior sales rep or manager and they "bend" the rules and sell them one). Happens all the time, so I hope someone here will be able to pull it off. I know I'm going to try both of my reps tomorrow (though I don't expect to pull it off).

truelove79 · Dec 6, 2011

I remember a few weeks ago someone said "When it's actually getting closer to the real release, we'll get a bunch of leaks all at once like e-mails, and pictures of the phones in retail packing, etc. etc." It looks like it may actually be happening now. I'm still not getting my hopes up, because it's still Verizon.

I like this guy I don't twit or tweet w/e it's called, but I'd follow him.
