That doesn't make sense. If they had launched it on Friday, it would have had this weekend AND next weekend before Christmas to sell. I don't think more people are going to buy if if they release later. If anything, the opposite is true, as more and more people get sick of waiting and either buy a different phone or take their business to another carrier.

Yeah that makes sense too. I don't know, maybe it would make a bigger splash on the last weekend of Christmas shopping?

Who knows. As I said, it sounds like speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was true, too.

It's Verizon.

Cheetara tells me:

Someone told me that it's being held up because they want it to release on bigger shopping day. Missed BF. Christmas falls on Sunday so that weekend is dead. Weekend of 17,18 will be huge, makes more business sense.

Click to expand...

So, I'm sure it's speculation, but that's what some are saying over there in V land.

Cheetara seems to be a better source than Miss Piggy. good move Han. BTW...tell Hannette we miss her

Great point. No matter how unlikely or illogical the thinking we have to consider where it's coming from.

I for one doubt Verizon has any coherent, thought-out strategy driving this release. VZW's behavior comes across as indecision bordering on incompetence, but like you said, who knows?

Love the burger and fries!

Garbage burger...flat and pressed into the grill...I like my burgers thick, pink and juicy. They aRe overpriced at 5 guys, but the fries rock!

I wonder if there will be an ad campaign to help push it. Hasn't some of the previously leaked info indicated that they are thinking that the Gnex will be similar to the original droid in terms of demand?

i am reasonably sure their "strategy" involves something like this:

Question for you folks... If the Galaxy Note and it's 5.3 inch screen and Exynos processor was coming out the same time as the Nexus and both had ICS, which would you buy?

I'd be all over the Note, but I think 5.3 inches is going to be just too big for a lot of people.

Note all the way, no questions asked.

Just downloaded Google Music to my Mac pro tower, I must say my android experience has instantly gone up +100 points.

Nah. That seems way too organized to reflect how VZW does business.

nyg010 · Dec 10, 2011

I actually wanted a Note before I wanted the Nexus, but they had no word on it coming to verizon. Again, I'm a big guy with big hands so the Note is a dream come true for me. I wish Verizon would carry it!!

I'm a muscle head nerd too..lol I dropped 50 lbs this summer. Well on my way to 290+ again. I love winter...lol

Stopped by a Best Buy Mobile tonight, and the guy there was awesome. He said "Verizon doesn't want us telling people this...we've got the phones in the back, but we're not allowed to take them out of there until Thursday." He's also been chomping at the bit for a Nexus and is amazed at how badly Verizon has done with this launch.

Strangely enough my offer to buy the phone tonight and then live in "the back" until Thursday didn't go anywhere.

nyg010 · Dec 10, 2011

Haha nice username, Dbol anyone?? haha jk.. Glad to have one more of our kind in here, everyones coming out of the closet!!

Hey guys,

Has anyone ever activated a LTE phone before? Can I do it at home or do I have to have them put a SIM card in it?

I'd take either or both in a heartbeat. Although I'd melt for a rottie or pitbull too.
