Or they might never announce the release and just start selling it in the 15th - who knows with Veizon

I believe this. I dont expect a release PR....

Although, new networks are going live on the 15th.. dont be surprised for a combined PR to come out for both

I've got one in about a week, I'm all jacked up and ready to go!

Nice! I was doing really good then fel off the gym wagon. Right now I'm about once a week but know once I'm past Christmas ill be back at it again.

I have my "put the cookie down piglet" picture picked out to motivate me.

I don't understand why there needs to be an "official Verizon announcement" for the phone to be released...

How often is there an "official" announcement? I remember when I bought the Samsung Fascinate...there was a rumored release date (maybe 10/8 or 10/20 but I can't remember) and my rep just gave me a call when it came out without there being any "official announcement.

I don't think Verizon typically announces or advertises anything until the phone has been released.

Also, why are people saying this target date is any less credible than the 9th? There is probably more rumored confirmations for the 15th than there was for the 9th...we have several leaked documents as well.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I can't help but think it's sounding pretty good.

Best thing to do is shoot for small bi-weekly gains, and post that money maker photo on your fridge. Sure works for me

Actually I was just thinking about this, but then I said to myself, "na your setting yourself up again.."

So my wife wants to say a few words to the group later tonight. She has to think of a screen name first.

Any ideas?

People have got to stop the testman thing. It's been explained a million times, they don't use that to push anything anymore and haven't for almost a year.

clichename1221 · Dec 13, 2011

I kinda agree with those people above about there not having to be a release.
To me, it seems that Verizon has come to somewhat bitter terms with Google over this fiasco, and they are much more happy to sell the RAZR than the GN.

Oh well, less knowledge = less demand = more in stock!

Completely agree. The latest VT30 Panasonics are terrific.

Yeah, if I were in the market for a new TV, I think that would be my choice. I have a 60" Pioneer Elite Kuro that will keep me happy til that day comes.

In that case we should consider chewbacca Han's trusted sidekick.

Btw, I called VZ to check if I can bring my GN with me on the ship and use it. Unfortunately I'll be screwed up the ass with roaming charges in the Caribbean. Which means I'll have to leave the phone back the FIRST week I have her, or just keep her on ap mode.

Edit: I figured they might let people slide considering the Bahamas is a U.S. Territory

Thanks alot for the info.. Yes, I am on unlimited data and I thought this would occur. If the Nexus does not come out Thursday I'm going to go to Verizon to see what they say; if this problem occurs...(Hopefully not)

I would suggest a widget or checking your statement to see how much OTA data you are using. A lot of people think they are using more data over 3g than they actually are. Before I kept track of it, I thought I would have been well over 2gb a month, but since keeping track I have not gone over 1gb (usually less than 500 Mb. I consider myself a heavy user, but do most of my damage over wifi. Also they have been running a lot of promos that double the data from 2gb to 4gb if you are getting limited data. That is still a boat load of data.

He would go the way of Obi Wan if he gave her that screen name

I kept mine in AP mode on my cruise and only used it for an alarm and clock.

Nope. Lol. Only 2 places I think that are considered ok for calling/texting. I'll be damned if I can remember which they were though. My parents called us those days.

Safety Board Urges Car Cellphone Ban

Just when they passed the laws where if we have our phone in our left hand we don't need to use a turn signal, and if we are involved in a conversation we can sit still at a green light.
