I just want my life back. My boss probably wants my productivity back. Make it happen VZW.

Anyone else notice the RAZR is nowhere to be found on the front page of vzw.com now. I'm not saying this has anything to do with the Nexus (I'm sure it doesn't), I'm just surprised Verizon would shun their baby like this. Of course, the Xyboard is there, so they replace one crappy device with another.

Oh it's mentioned at least in the form a a promotion. "Buy a Droid RAZR and get $100 off the Xyboard!"

I wish it was tomorrow already. I'm starting to get butterflies in my stomach.

Do you guys think I'll be able to sleep tonight? My wife hates it when I look at the phone in bed. So I'll probably have to take a strong shot of NyQuil.

Mind if I ask which stores admitted to having stock? I've been looking around for a while and haven't goten any stores to admit it.

Thanks

I called one in Bethesda, MD yesterday and they said they have them

I feel a bit bad over missing out on release day for the TP.

We could have had something special, TP. Now we'll never know.

I weep for the abortion that was our relationship.

I posted this information on Sunday after visiting a Verizon corporate store, but this thread moves so fast and you may have missed it. Now that we're getting so close, I feel it's worth repeating. I wasn't able to get any information about the Nexus that day, but the salesman did ask me if I was a veteran and when I told him that I was, he said to be sure to bring in my DD-214, which proves I was in the service and I would get 15% off.

Wow, that's a $45.00 discount!

I would double check that you get 15% off of the phone. I know you get 15% off of your voice and data plan, but I'm not so sure about the phone itself.

When I login to MyVerizon it prompts me to purchase a Droid RAZR. I have to say yes, no, or remind me later.

I love the GSM box so much more than the Verizon.

Frakking idiots even have to screw up the box.

Ugh.

That's the sticker on the phone that I put on the box. The box is pure white

A VZW rep just called my cell phone to tell me that they have NO OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE. This was an unsolicited call from a 480 area code,She did mention the name of the CSR that I spoke to a month ago and was just following up.She also asked if I was interested in any other phones. WTF?

I'm showing it. First thing I see "Buy a Droid Razr" all kiinds of flash ads :thinking:

Regional Director is at my resellers store right now. He is supposed to let me know if anything has changed when he gets done with him. Have my nexus ( one I played with and took pics with) waiting on me... hopefully for tomorrow.. will update as soon as I hear back.

AndroidForums.com update -

Our dev team is hard at work on the hidden side of things here at the forums. We are aware of the slow updates and duplicate posts many are experiencing, and they're working hard at it.

Your patience is totally appreciated.

I have seen that several times over the last few weeks. It disappears for a few hours and then it comes back.

zedster you got the credit @ Verizon posts Galaxy Nexus simulator, doesn't cap your virtual data -- Engadget

AntimonyER · Dec 14, 2011

Well at least engadget got it right. Props to zedster.

Really hope this releases tomorrow. The headphone jack on my Droid X is broken and I'm out of warranty. The store in my area said they'll know by tomorrow...

Yeah, if it's anything like my 25% off employer discount, we only get it for voice, data, and accessories. Definitely not on phones though.

carson6 · Dec 14, 2011

Anybody in the Pittsburgh area find a place that confirmed tomorrow? I stopped in a Best Buy (McKnight) and a nice rep showed me the accessories but said they have no phones to her knowledge and expect a release next week... and I called a corporate store (also McKnight) and a RadioShack and they said early next week too.

Anyone notice when you run the simulator and check out the mobile hotspot the animation changes to "checking subscription status?"

Does VZW intend on locking this and charging for it like the rest of their phones?

I can confirm that the actual phone checks subscription and displays a pop-up to call for a subscription if one isn't found.

aTrain612 · Dec 14, 2011

Just talked to a CSR at the Minneapolis skyway corporate store. After asking him if they would be selling the Nexus tomorrow he responded "I am not able to give you any information regarding the release of that phone, HOWEVER, if I were you I would be here tomorrow morning when we open...if that tells you anything..."

Looks like I'll be downtown at 7am tomorrow morning rockin sweatpants and a smile.

FWIW 480 is Phoenix area... That seems strange...

Be careful with that, when I hit the NyQuil, I'm not waking on time for anything.
