In Light of our 70k Post, I present to you an updated Chart:

I haven’t seen one in quite a while so I figured I would go ahead and make one up. Here are some interesting facts.

Our Maximum Posts per Hour are found during the 11/11 Announcement delay, the 11/18 announcement, and interestingly enough, yesterday during the delay scandal.

Maximum Posts/Hr is: 283 (During 11/18 announcement)
Shortest time for 1k Posts is: 3.5 Hours.

Enjoy!

Tweet from VZWNews, just posted now

If 4G is truly UP in all markets, then there is NOTHING to hold Nexus back from the hordes.

And if it does come out tomorrow, maybe I can swing a deal with the local VZW store to let me in early so I can buy my new baby before all the appointments of the day

I've got a bad case of Nexus-itus.

Verizon has the cure.

I could have sworn today's meeting was at 11 EST. This would make the most sense.

If the meeting takes place at 11, that'd be 8 out west. So you'd have your people come into work a little early (stores seem to open at 9) for the meeting.

In order for the meeting to be done by now (9:40 EST), they'd have to have had people in by 6 out west. Would you really have them do that, when they don't need to open the stores for another 3 hours? Doesn't make sense to me.

The company I work for has locations on east and west coasts, and we NEVER schedule anything early enough to force west coast to come in before their normal schedule.

Has anybody who has stores that open at 9 am EST call them yet, or stop by?

I'm kind of a glass half empty guy and I just don't see it happening tomorrow. I may just return my bionic and go back to my wifes old phone and wait on a quad core phone at this point.

I strongly suspect that Google and Verizon are directly responsible for some leaks, in order to drum up free publicity. I mean, look at the rabid demand for this phone already. There's no doubt in their minds that they won't be making a ton of money from this without ever even launching a single commercial.

I wouldn't say Google is as responsible.. They are already selling the phone on two continents.

Verizon needs to get their ish together.

Good Morning All! Does anyone know what will come in the Costco Member Bonus Accessory Pack?

No, however Costco's cell phones are from a 3rd party "Membership Wireless"

their image folder is open so you can look through and see what their standard packages look like. Seems like most are a car charge, soft case and that's about it

My hopes and prayers are that everyone in this thread gets a Nexus as soon as humanly possible.

Okay I have a question, last night someone mentioned this may be I think they said icon phone but I can't remember (and search isn't being my friend this morning.)

Anyway it was mentioned you had to be eligible for upgrade to get it. Well I got my Droid X when they first came out but my upgrade date says 3/22 on the Verizon website but it also says I am eligible for discounted phones. I think our upgrade date was screwed up when we changed the primary on our account from me to my husband.

Finally my question, is this 3/22 date going to prevent me from getting my nexus? Do I need to call Verizon and plead with them to move the date up?

Same situation as you. Got my X at launch, and my upgrade date said "New Every Two: 3/2012".

The good news is, I spoke with a CSR over chat on the Verizon website and it's just the New Every Two bonus money that you can't get until March. You are elligible for an upgrade right now.

That is one of my biggest peeves, when someone knows you know more than them about electronics and they take your advice and flush it!!

Meh. Once you are married for a while this will seem quite normal. :rolleyes:

I called one at 9, but they gave nothing. That doesn't mean anything though, since I was getting the same yesterday.

No, I didn't ask about a meeting though.

I got a fever, and the only prescription ... is more Nexus!

Here I am again. F5ing. I feel like a loser. This phone is gonna suck, Ive personally hyped it so much.

Side note: My rep email me a pic of the phone in my store. She says manager is super tight lipped about it and if I stopped in, I wouldn't be able to have a look at it yet.... UGH!

For the love of my sanity, my job and my family. 70k posts is enough. I kinda want to stop reading now and just play with my new nexus....

Side note 2: Just got an email. Christmas Bonus. $250 clear. with my NE2, that's a free nexus for Christmas. Verizon, HERE is my money!!!!! TAKE IT!

Ok, I feel better now. Kinda. Not really.

Nice to know I'm not the only one keeping statistics here! And the line just keeps going up and up with no sign of leveling off!

Can you say "100,000"? :eek:

EDIT: It only took 11 days to make 30,000 posts... so maybe 100k is a bit high (unless Nexus is delayed another 11 days). I'd rather have a Nexus than 100k posts any day!

That stinks - did you get an order cancellation? I think you may still be able to preorder on J and R...

yep i had it preordered on amazon the second it came out, nov 22nd.

i had the 32gb gray one, i didnt go for the keyboard.

then they send me the cancellation and **** goes nuts.

for a little while, it you looked on the reviews section on the transformer's amazon page, people were going insane, writing in their reviews about how much amazon blows, etc. Amazon took all the reviews down that were like that though. the message boards are still flippin out.

i need to save up some more money anyway, xmas shopping was more expensive than i thought. i'll probably have it in january.

I know, lets all just ignore this phone and pretend not to want it anymore and it will suddenly appear... and want us! Whatever...

Some stores on the east coast open at 9am. I'm not even bothering to call because I already know the answer.

IF LTE is the problem. I am not so sure. But I want to believe. I need to believe.

Just called the VZ (expletive deleted) down the road to ask for an update on the Gnex. Was told nothing yet, but it will be out very soon. ehhhhhhhhhh

True!! Though I've been married for almost ten years now. She just leaves all the electronics decisions to me.

Not sure where you live, but in my area Indiana near South Bend the meetings are done. Stores opened at 9, meeting was before the stores opened. Meetings are normally on Friday but were changed to today. Not normal.

Hate to say it, but I'm with Ken on this one. I think tomorrow is out. Just a gut feeling.

However, it could be the coffee and donuts acting up. Who knows anymore?
