FWIW!
So.. Central MA Area.. local BJ's.. just stopped in after work. Saw the manager at the kiosk he goes "Got any questions sir?" "Yeah, am I gonna see you Thursday for a Nexus launch?" "Haven't hear anything yada yada".
After awhile of bs talk he was getting off shift/leaving. I went to go buy some stuff.. on my way out he pops up right next to me and says "Just got word from my operations girl, the 15th is a go!"
I nearly died, this guy runs 5 corporate stores in the area.. seems like a good guy. He "admitted" (take for what it's worth) that he knew they were debating to kick it back another week (NEXT Thursday).
But he JUST got the word. He said "well I guess I'll see you Thursday.." He sure will.
I'm sorry, like most rumors and VZW sales guy's promises, they are utterly meaningless.
I mean I have to vent here a bit. The misleading thread title (and make no mistake about it, it IS misleading) said Thursday is the day. Around that time, I lost count of how many guys said their VZW store 'confirmed' the Thursday release date.
Now I come here a day later, the thread title is the same, but most are reporting their VZW store is now saying 'nope, no Thursday release'. So am I to believe that these guys get emails every day saying 'release, no release, release, no release'. Please, nonsense!!!
Guys, I call major big time BS to all of this crap. Not only do I now believe these rumors are ALL wrong, the misleading thread title needs to be changed for the 100th time, nobody has the slightest clue what they're talking about and we're all fools for believing ANY of this. In fact, for the first time Im willing to accept the fact this phone may never see the light of day here. Best case scenario IMO is what I mentioned here awhile back when my non-corporate VZW store told me his buddy that works for Google said January.
What a joke. I've got to be the biggest jackass for waiting for this.
OK, I feel better now...not really.
