Had to stop reading on page 1621 real quick to say a couple quick things:

1) about the poster with the avatar - you know what I am talking about: sorry to say this, but some of you act like you have never seen a pretty woman before some of what is being said could be taken the wrong way and or make some people uncomfortable. Yes. The poster choose that avatar but I don't think this is the place to discuss it

2) not that I don't trust the sources and leaks, at this point I don't trust verizon

3) more geek talk please

/me heads off to page 1621

Just stating it for the principle of the matter. Besides, as you may or may not know- I have little to contribute here except inappropriate jokes.

I dunno, I'm starting to think these stores without stock are telling the truth. Given how royally VZW has screwed the pooch, I don't find it inconceivable that they have screwed up the distribution of the phones to stores and some have them and others do not.

And that reminds me, please remember to have your pets spayed and neutered.

UGH I hope if there is another Green Lantern they go for someone less notable (and less of a "funny guy"). A lot less CGI wouldn't hurt either.

Yes, agree, agree very much!

Sooooooo much OT stuff, I wonder if many people even saw my Breaking News lol.

Scott, we all saw it! Stop "thanks" fishing. :rolleyes:

TBH many here, including myself, have gotten a lot of confirmation that this is happening today before you posted.

Rybnik said:
Update: so I just got off the phone from my guy at Freedom wireless. This is the same person that told me just two nights ago that he had heard nothing.
He said he just finally got word (within the last hour) from Verizon for the go ahead on Thursday. He set an appointment for me for 9:00AM!!!!!

Verizon Store Informs Customer of Dec. 15 Galaxy Nexus Availability, Multiple Sources Seem to Agree | Phandroid

Just call your rep and hang tight, Thursday is almost upon us!

BigFwoosh said:
Soooooo... is it Thursday or Friday???

both according to BT!!

woodraskam said:
I saw it, but It's no more breaking news to me than any other Word of Mouth rumor.

I think this is more serious. It seems more solid this time, especially since many of us here in this thread are hearing the same things from our real, live contacts outside this thread, lol!

-If the production value of the picture is too high, there are no family members present, and no water mark from a Highschool or photography studio. It is probably a fake.

I thought this way too until this summer when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It doesn't run in the family. I am the first so you can imagine my shock when after years of pretty much perfect health I was given this diagnosis. Just thought you should know never to rule out the unexpected even beyond freak accidents. BTW I am cancer free now. Thank goodness!

OT -
Congratulations on being cancer free! I was diagnosed with lymphoma in February. Last PET scan was clear. Welcome to the survivors' club.

More OT - I used to live in Woodland Hills many moons ago, drove through Helena all the time. I even did a research paper on the place in HS.

My store is just like yours....no stock and no release date.
I'm sure they're lying but it ticks me off that other corp stores freely divulge info and let ppl play with demos.

That's the thing. My gut says they are lying, especially since I went in there and spoke with them face to face on Sunday and found holes in their stories, but I just wish they would give me a straight answer. A week and a half ago they took my name down for when it comes in. Sunday and today they claim they never take names and no one will be calling me! I really need Verizon to just announce this thing already.

To all the people getting shut down by Verizon, have you tried calling Radio Shack??

RS has been less help than big V for me at least, had a rep there claim to not even know what the phone was

OT: Once Upon a Time

Possible spoiler alert:

Ooooh!! Duh!!

Graham will come back to life. Remember when he gave the reed whistle to Snow and told her to blow it if she ever needed help? Well, I'm sure she has it somewhere, since she has the ring that Charming gave her.

Once she toots, he will return!

somethingelse · Dec 13, 2011

So last week they sent out the confirmation for the 9th on Monday or so, and sent out the "delayed" email Tuesday.. I would figure that today being Tuesday, do they really won't have a chance to send a "delayed" email any longer? Wouldn't sending a "delayed" email on a Wednesday be risky as there would be a few that wouldn't get it on time for Thursday? That would cause mass chaos.

I don't think Scott is "thanks fishing", I think he is genuinely excited about this release and thought it added to the evidence pointing to the 15th. I can't blame him for that.

I think this is more serious. It seems more solid this time, especially since many of us here in this thread are hearing the same things from our real, live contacts outside this thread, lol!

Just like the 9th was looking like it, with people getting calls/appointments/etc, right?

Just sayin'...we know nothing for sure until we hear it from VZW.

RichSz · Dec 13, 2011

Riddle me this: If Verizon is hot for this phone, if they want to get it selling before the holidays, why would they give it a silent/soft/quiet launch? The only thing I can think if is the RAZR. It's painfully obvious they are pushing that thing as I've never seen a phone pushed so maybe they want to minimize the impact to RAZR sales.

Even that doesn't make sense to me. Why carry a product if you have more interest in selling other products? It's not a loss leader. Nope doesn't make any damn sense to me.

dubie7006 · Dec 13, 2011

Guys, I know this is a little selfish, but can you please put any Dark Knight Rises stuff in Hide tags? I'm trying to avoid learning anything about the movie as I truly want to be surprised, impressed, wowed. TIA.

Yes, I've gone in RS twice. They were even less helpful. They were point blank like "we don't even know if this thing is ever gonna be released."

I thought at least one report said there was an email VERY late on the 8th frantically calling for the release to be held back for the 9th?

Decided to call my Corp store again and still nothing. Still claiming they don't even have it in stock and won't know anything until right before it hits. Grrrrr.

Try 3rd party, that is what worked for me!

Exactly! Like I said earlier, we just need to make it till Wednesday afternoon and we should be good!
