I was in "line" with a friend for that release.

Its on mdonders's Channel - YouTube -- can't get there at work, but the video is there. We showed up and there was NO ONE in line. It was hilarious.

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!

Can we stop with these asinine posts yet? There are some people who do have legitimate sources of information here.

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

Yeah, I agree, crackdown. I wonder if when they told Han's rep about it, the rep was like, this is BS, I am not going to tell customers a lie, and was shown the door.

It feels like Black Friday all over again.... The leaked adds come out (in this case leaks of the phone) you know it is at the store and waiting for you to pick it up but the sales reps will not confirm or deny anything.... The only thing really missing is an ACTUAL release date. Even if Verizon plans on releasing this phone tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday or Monday why can't they tell us the darn date!

Verizon has no confidence in its ability to keep to a release date (and rightly so!) so rather than announce the date and then announce a change, they're staying silent till the last minute.

Leave it to Steven. "Hey folks, got some info. Back in a bit, have to [Choose your own activity below] real quick first"

a) Finish Driving
b) Bake cupcakes
c) Lube my snow blower
d) Shred some documents
e) Do my hair
f) Pinch a loaf
g) All of the above

Euphemism?

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.

I know, wishful thinking on my part, but sometimes the speculation is half the fun for me. As I said, it's on the way to class, and I have to be there anyways so I might as well stop in for that 1 in a million chance

If someone has some real info, spill it. This is getting really annoying.

jdaud · Dec 8, 2011

Hey guys,
Just speculating here, but haven't we been hearing 'Silent Launch' for quite a while now? If this is what Verizon has been planning all along - then the leaks/blog press shows tomorrow as the day and their plans are foiled - wouldn't all of today's chaos be a brilliant way of proceeding with a silent launch tomorrow? I mean how many readers of this forum are going to go to the dealer tomorrow if the general consensus is that next week is it. They could be feeding different stories to different CSR's/departments simply to confound the whole situation. Would it make ANY business sense to release less than a week before christmas (or even after)? Brilliant marketing if they really do want a silent launch.
Just saying....

ok so today i went to my Verizon store where a very good friend of mine is the General Manager there...

he got the demo training unit of the back of the store for me and let me have about 30 mins playing with the phone and and let me take a few pictures but no videos the pictures that contain no incriminating evidence will be posted by steven58 when he gets back he is going to phanrdroid bran the pictures so we get all the credit for it and i was told information about the release at least here in the state of Virginia and DC area

This is so far fetched I'm cracking up. You do not believe this! please

How do you mean? Verizon is ALWAYS tight lipped about phones. They want to release it on their own terms when they want without much communication until the last minute. They really do want the utmost in control when releasing their devices.

Delvirtud · Dec 8, 2011

I just got off the phone with my cellular provider that was running around with one of the higher-ups (his words) in Verizon yesterday. He ordered 6 phones from the Verizon corporate office and they will be in his store tomorrow. Because of the knowledge that I fed him over the past months (I informed him of the phone's existence before October 17th) and the fact that I have completely harassed (not really) him with emails, 3 of those phones are mine (wife, buddy and me). He obtained all my needed information (account password, SS#) so that he could go ahead and assign me a SIM(s) and throw it in the phone(s) to await activation. WOOT!

He said that the delay has nothing to do with the LTE issue and EVERYTHING to do with the botched software update. He also said that they are feverishly working on a fix and that tomorrow is unlikely, BUT possible. They want this phone out as badly as we want it. He threw out Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday as possible release dates.
