Why would they cancel the special hours on Friday, and move them to Saturday? It is a little odd.

Oddly enough, I just got off the phone with the other corporate store in my area and the same rep who told me yesterday I could get it friday told me today he hasnt heard anything.
The only reason I remembered his name was because it was the same as my brothers, so naturally, it kinda hit a bell.
They def are cracking down on their reps it seems

My source who is the brother in law of the custodian that works in the cafeteria in corp said he heard it from a VP and she said the phone will be released Dec. 15th. So you heard it here first!

Alright guys, im back. went and talked to the manager again at the corporate store near me (mid michigan area). I walked in, the manager spotted me, and came over to talk. I asked him about the 3g-4g 100$ off promo too. He said that it's something they send out to certain customers only, but he wasnt sure who the target audience was. I was told that if I was able to bring in the corporate flyer, they would honor it. Since I didnt actually get the flyer, only noticed it posted here, I am apparently ineligible
On to the nexus! This is where it got kinda odd. I asked if I should come back in tomorrow morning or not (since i was originally told to come friday at 10 when they open). He kinda glanced around quickly and said that he didnt have any in stock, but they might come later tonight but he would like to see me tomorrow morning.
***
The confusion for me comes from him telling me yesterday that they basically had them in stock and sitting in the stockroom downstairs. This was discovered when I mentioned that the Nexus doesnt have a microSD slot. He went to "check something", came back to me and said "ya, youre right, it would appear it doesnt have one" (or something to that extent). Now unless they just have a bunch of empty boxes with galaxy nexus features listed on them, it seemed pretty obvious to me that one of 2 things had happened downstairs:
A) He checked the boxes looking for features and it wasnt listed
or
B) He actually looked at the phone itself
Keep in mind at the end of our conversation i was told, and I quote "I'm not a betting man, but I am the manager, and if someone wanted a Nexus, they would be here friday when I open".
In the end, he wouldnt have to go downstairs to their storeroom to look at features, he could just pull up the equipment page on the computer in front of him. Lots of speculation at this point, but his behavior seemed to indicate he wasnt supposed to be telling me anything at all.
I'm still gonna stop in to the store tomorrow regardless of anything verizon says, or doesnt say, since its on my way to class. Thought you guys would appreciate any extra info you can get, and as always
YMMV and grains of salt
My advice to you is the same advice I gave to the guy going to Costco, get the chocolate chip cookies...oh wait, VZW doesn't sell chocolate chip cookies...but then again they won't be selling the Nexus tomorrow either.
Just don't set yourself up for a big disappointment. The guy is wrong pure & simple.
