Just called the best buy mobile that is located about 3 minutes from my house and the lady said they have stock and they're basically just waiting for the ok to sell them. They have some that are powered on and have been letting people play with one, so i'm going in first thing after class tomorrow to at least get to touch this thing!
Evenin wuz shakin! Just popping in for a bit before going to work for a few hours.
Just received 3 texts from 2 different stores (re-seller and corp) telling me to come in Sunday and play with the GN (same store who told me the GN was mine 12/9) and that I'd have it 12/15. Hoping this is finally the last mad dash till the finish. Sorry if this was already known I have a lot of catching up I'll do later this eve
strange things afoot at the BigRed V:
i just stopped by my corporate store to complain about the battery life on my rent-a-razr (read as: dig for Galaxy Nexus info). this store was confirming Dec. 9th over the phone on monday, but the first rep i talked to quickly said "we can't talk about that phone, corporate orders". as i started to walk away, a second rep came out from behind the counter and asked me to go look at the rezound if i wanted to exchange for something with a removable battery. i explained that i wasn't interested, to which he replied "no, you'll want to see this." i followed him over to a corner of the store, and he pulled a mythical GNex out of his pocket. he let me hold it for about 30 seconds, enough to gauge weight and size (slightly heavier and thicker than the razr, but definitely "fits" my hand better), then returned it to his pocket and said "come by tomorrow. we have accessories, and i'm not promising anything, but... come by tomorrow." as a manager walked over to see what we were talking about he immediately jumped into a sales pitch for the rezound. not wanting to give anything away, i told him that i would just wait for the GNex, whenever it will be released. this is when the manager replied "we've never even seen that phone, who knows if we'll get it at all." fed up with the disinformation, i asked the 2nd rep for his card, told him i'd see him soon, and left the store.
why would a manager blatantly lie to my face about "never seeing" a phone that one of his reps is currently carrying?? all i can say is that i hope rep #2 still has a job tomorrow... or the 15th... or whatever we're quoting as the release date now. i will be stopping by tomorrow just in case, but the whole situation just struck me as odd.
Dogfish Head did a tap takeover at a local tavern. I got to have Midas Touch and Namaste on tap. It was so delicious. Stone did a tap takeover this past Tuesday
It seems like just about everyone besides me can get their stores to tell them they officially have stock...
Why don't any of my stores have stock?!?!?!
