Keep in mind that some Authorized Retailers (non-corporate) stores LOOK JUST LIKE corporate stores...but they say "Authorized Retailer" under the name on the door, and the phones are dummy phones. There's one near me...it's not a "Joe's Wireless" or anything...it's just Verizon, and it looks just like a corporate store, but it's not.

Whoops. That's what I meant. Micro. Whatever it is called, it looks to be the same size as the Gnex.

So assuming same plug size, will it work?

did you mean to quote me when you wrote "this guy makes some good points?"

cause you quoted yourself saying that... either way yes, i did make a good point, it's micro not mini. mini hasn't been used since like... the razr haha

Oh, interesting. When I went from my D1 to my D2, all my paid apps were on my market account, but the free ones weren't. Is this something they've changed since then?

I forgot about the free ones. I'm used to using titanium. Go sign up for app brain and make a list there. I haven't done it in forever but if I remember correctly you can download from there as well.

Very cool! I volunteer with a great rescue in DC. The need never ends, but it is amazing work!

I agree, we tend to get all the dogs others can't handle,
We have a so called vicious pit bull ironically called buddy,
No one could handle him, he sits in. My lap for morning coffee.

I own a Verizon Wireless store in Olney, MD and my Verizon rep just emailed me to confirm the 12/9 launch!

If you're in the area...take a look at the post from one of my sales associates on the specials we will be running for Phandroid members!

Interesting news here in the ATL. I just received a call from _____ my guy at my #2 corp store saying they received their shipment and are in the back. They are not allowed to sell them till they get official word from corporate (no news there). I'm on his list 2nd in line. I asked when I could expect to hear back from him and he said "possibly later tonight but at least by Thur". Interesting guess we'll see.

As I wrote this post my guy from my #3 corp store called and said they have shipment as well and is waiting for the official word to let them fly out the doors.

I might try the store closest to my house, but there is no way I could get there until friday afternoon. I just hope the store I called today is giving everyone the same info. I will just call again tomorrow.

Been a memberr for a little wile...lol just called corporate store in Greenville SC about exchanging my razr for the Nexus she said it will be available on the 9th she would call me Thursdayto confirm. Just a heads up for my south cacalac friends.

nyg010 · Dec 6, 2011

Alright, I am not one to get in the hype of things. But this is actually panning out to sound perfect. Please let this all be true!!!

In preparation for what will hopefully be Friday, can anybody tell me how I can easily transfer over my free apps from my D2 to my shiny new Nexus without the use of a program requiring root?

Excellent advice already given, and many like MyBackup Pro for a few bucks in the Market for non-root users.

VERY handy backup tool, will pay for itself when needed, imo.

My philosophy - it's a phone and things can just happen to phones.

Make frequent backups and you're never at a loss for critical apps or DATA if a sad phone day is in the cards for you.

You will have to be put on the account as an account manager. That's the only way without the actual account owner there.

Thanks! Done and done!. So I've been added as an account manager and I have the new billing password we just set. Does this have any relation at all to my "My Verizon" account on the website? When I log in to the site I don't appear to have any additional permissions.

Good idea I'm sure the story will change on an hourly basis.

That 1st store I went to today is 1 mile from me. Won't be going there although they probably have them in back as well. The other two are 5 and 9 miles respectively. I'll be giving the 5 mile store my business as he put me on his list (whatever that might mean

)

donnyb · Dec 6, 2011

So what day do I take off, Thursday or Friday? It's driving me nuts.

LurksMoar · Dec 6, 2011

Verizon, if this doesn't happen on Thursday...

We will be VERY

Love,

Valyrian · Dec 6, 2011

So my company has had a trip planned to a warm tropical place.

This is on topic, I promise!

So I was not going because I didn't start early enough. Today, someone couldn't go because their documents weren't in order, so now they offer me their spot. I'm leaving tomorrow and coming back on Sunday.

Is is wrong that the first though I had, after "I have to ask my wife" is "Oh crap, that means I won't be in the country for the Gnex release! Do I want to miss it?"

Long story short, yeah, I'm going to miss the launch. Someone please save me one for when I get back on Monday, okay?

Thanks!

If you had web access that won't change.
