Same here. Until Verizon says so, I am fully expecting it to NOT launch this week at all. Everyone is talking like the 15th IS THE DAY, like it's a fact. It is far from it.

Note to self...

If I'm ever diagnosed with some horrible ailment, and it appears I won't make it, but there is some chance I might...

truelove79 is OFF the hospital visitor list!!! For good!!!

(BTW, my death, whenever it occurs, WILL be untimely.)

OT

Forgot to tell 3vil and DrexelDragon I thought of them this morning. There was a van in the school drop off line that had the logo that 3vil uses as avatar and a Drexel sticker as well.

That is all. (waiting for car to warm up so I can go home)

Guys I have some super depressing news.

Panasonic to slash plasma TV panel output

It looks like Panasonic is slowing but surely getting out of the Plasma business. First it was Pioneer killing off the Kuro brand and now Panasonic slowing killing off the VIERA brand. Soon there will be no good TVs available. Get em while you can.

That's pretty bad. I still have a Pioneer Kuro 50" and it's amazing. The deepest blacks and best colors. I bought a 50" samsung plasma a couple years later for my bedroom and it doesn't even compare. Panasonic was second to Pioneer and now they'll both be gone

To share my story, last night I called the Verizon Corporate store on L Street in downtown DC.

The conversation:

Me: Hey, wanted to schedule an appointment for Thursday morning.
CSR: Okay, what are you interested in?
Me: I want to pick up the Galaxy Nexus.
CSR: Okay, what's your name and phone number?
Me: It's _____ and _____.
CSR: Great! When you come in you have an appointment with CSR X.
Me: Thanks!

Sure, they didn't say it would be out, but considering a corporate store scheduled an appointment when I specifically said I wanted to the get the Galaxy Nexus, well, I consider that a good sign that they had gotten word of 12/15 release.

I'm going to try calling again tonight to double-check my appointment and see if they have anything to say officially.

just called my costco to ask about the bundle they would be offering, she stated it'll be the standard bundle they give, but she would find out for sure on Friday (note she said friday would be their release date) if there would be an additional bundle like the Bionic and Razr.

I just think after post #6000, it will end up being a linear relationship. I'm doubting we can beat 1k posts in 24 hours, but who knows. And out of curiosity I took a look at the Incredible thread for comparison, and was BLOWN AWAY that there were almost 40k posts! I wonder how that model looks...

Hopefully we WONT have 40k posts by the time the NP is released!

This post is from wayyyyy back when (around post 7000).

Ahhhhahahahaha...

I was so YOUNG and NAIVE!!! Not only did we DESTROY the Inc. thread, but we are STILL waiting on our phones!!

Thank you to whoever said to check out the show "Homeland," just looked it up and it seems like my type of show. I look forward to it.

It's only getting better. The most recent episode was epic! Claire Danes has done a great job with her role IMO.

Ninjak · Dec 13, 2011

I swear, if this phone isn't out by Saturday, I don't care if it lays golden eggs, I'm gonna buy the accessories for my Rezound and be done with this. I, as are a bunch of you, am starting to feel like this:

Leak doesn't imply a maybe. You know what does? Actually using the word "maybe. "

If you have to be told "maybe" when it comes to a leak then you should probably turn in your keyboard.

what's this now?

Nexus or Not? Varying builds have come to light, are your updates from Google? | TalkAndroid.com

There are various Samsung builds for the GSM phone, but the Verizon phone shows build files in the google (not samsung) folder, and is supposed to be an AOSP version. Don't worry, if you're a Verizon customer.

Shades.549 · Dec 13, 2011

I just stopped by at my local corporate Verizon stir to verify that the $100 4G promo and been noted on my account since I didn't want any issues coming up when I went to get my phone. Turns out to be a good thing since despite the CSR saying they saw it on my account and I wouldn't have any problems using it, it didn't show up at the store. So, after 20 minutes sitting on the phone with a helpful CSR the discount is back on my account, it is good till 12/31 and valid only at corporate stores, not the premium retailers. Also found out that it is not valid to Verizon employees or valid to be transferred to a different line(neither situation applies to me).
Went back in the store and the discount now shows up.
The downside is that they have not received any emails saying that Thursday is the day, it still could be but if so they don't know it yet.

tom76 · Dec 13, 2011

FWIW...stopped by my local VZW retailer...without me even opening my mouth he said " the 15th"...haha apparently they know me well...went by the Best Buy...they "haven't heard anything yet"

Mr. Link · Dec 13, 2011

I have a friend that works at a corp store and FWIW I've been told the 20th. I also had my account reps in house today for an employee event and two reps from a local corp store and they all said they knew nothing. Just reporting...don't shoot the messenger. Just letting everyone know it's better to be cautiously optimistic...not blindly optimistic.

Haha, don't worry I won't pull the plug or anything. Especially if I trust the doctors more than Verizon.

There are leaks that say xday might be the day, and there are leaks that say xday is the day.

holysnikey · Dec 13, 2011

Can anybody tell me if this sales rep makes any sense to anyone?

Talia: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?

Luke: I was wondering if there is any information about the Galaxy Nexus release date yet?

Talia: I am sorry we don't have information on the release dates on the unreleased products

Basically we know about the release date once its released haha
