Get your popcorn ready for tomorrow. Phones will be sold. I just wish I could throw the egg that will end up on Verizon's face.

Imagine that the French guy is your typical pop culture idiot.
Yep.

The link has a timestamp to take you to what I'm referencing.

I feel like we should all call 1 Verizon store asking about the Nexus...then 1 store can really feel our pain.

its not even their fault... why would you subject the reps to something so dickish

Oh, I still don't think it's coming out next week.

lol again, I think I win this contest with absolutely no phone at all...

It would be a fun contest to see who's using the lamest phone to get them through to the Nexus! No cheating place 777 on the screen so we know it's you.

How many times can you get stood up by a date before you move on to the next girl, even if she IS smokin hot?

Plus, when the Rezound gets those ice cream implants she may be even hotter than the Nexus.

You need to think about this. Motorola (who has a far smaller stack to port) has already stated it will be 4-6 months before the RAZR would be updated to ICS. That means AT LEAST that long for the Rezound if not longer. I would not let that be a deciding factor. Buy the phone for the software it has, you aren't guaranteed anything beyond that.

Yeah cause being placed on hold for 3 hours would really make me feel better.

You're right, reading the forums about no offical news for longer than 3 hours is more fun :rolleyes:

Hey guys, got a message from Miss Piggy:

Hearing 15th now.

I'm sure it was probably ninja'd because Miss Piggy said store reps were going to be notified some time soon.

I just haven't had time to check the last few pages. Got swamped all of a sudden.

Wow, this thread had slowed to a crawl!

I keep seeing posts where people say "it's just a phone", if it was just a phone I wouldn't be spending $300 for it.
If it is just a phone to you then you are using it wrong.
It is just a phone/camera/camcorder/media player/PDA/portable game consule/GPS/shopping assistant/Internet access device/etc.

That last sentence made me bust out laughing at work.

So on a different note... last night my girlfriend told me that I have a problem because I am constantly refreshing and reading the forums.

Lol! My wife says the same thing to me on a nightly basis. The women must be acting strangely due to something in the water here in Fort Myers (it's the only excuse I can think of).

Kenahng · Dec 8, 2011

Do you think it's worth going to the store to see if I could check it out? or should I just lay low and calm down about it and not bother them anymore.

SamMax · Dec 8, 2011

Piece of junk

Thanks Han! There is a lot of chatter about the 15th. But VZW may decide to pull the plug before the 15th just like they did the 9th. It will be interesting to see if it DOES happen to be the 15th if they do a PR or not and whether more leaks from the equipment guide or resellers start showing up

So who thinks we can break 100k by Thursday?

I know that I'm just a nobody here. But I thought I'd share some potentially good news. I just got off the phone with a local big red reseller (not corporate store) here in MN twin cities suburb. Guy said he just got an email at 2pm today (central time) stating that sales start 12/9 (tomorrow)!!!! He seemed to be aware of the on again off again rumors this week too. I really hope he has his facts straight. But I have high hopes since he just got the email an hour ago stating tomorrow is a GO!!!

There is no waiting list at his store, and I'm first in line at 9am for some Galaxy goodness.
You can't see me right now, but I'm doing cartwheels and stuff. And a guy my age and size really should not be doing cartwheels. It ain't pretty.

-me

This is very interesting! I texted Miss Piggy about how sure 15th is, b/c I'm hearing different. I'll post what she says.

Also to note the obvious:

If it was "just a phone" you wouldn't be here
