1 more thing, pre-close: I love u all!

When most people say this...entertainers, athletes, politicians...it's usually just BS lip service. But coming from you Steven, I believe you when you say it. It really is amazing how if you read someone's writing long enough, you can really develop a mental picture of what they're like.

That's why the outpouring of gratitude towards you on this board. And how I picture Early as a wise, all-knowing wizard and, despite her best effort to prove otherwise, OTD is really a kitten...fangs and all!

It's been a pleasure all!

Edit: Really? That word got censored? Fixed.

OMG I am sooooo happy!!! I have a question though...how long will it take to deliver if I do choose to order it online??

smittysmitt3434 · Dec 14, 2011

I am so excited and frustrated at the same time. Obviously, I am excited to know the phone goes on sale tomorrow, but I am frustrated because the only place in town that would reserve me a phone has not received word that he can sell it tomorrow. Now I have to decide if I want to go deal with the corporate vultures or hold out hope that Radio Shack will get approval tomorrow.

I wanna know too!

Yes they will, they're not required to activate it for you. You can ask them if you can just take it untouched, I asked a corporate Verizon Store salesperson!

True to her word, my wife brought my baby home to me, and she is beautiful! This post is being made using this incredible device through my home wifi connection as it cannot be activated until tomorrow. First impression is that the curved screen is really understated. Second impression is the thin nature of this phone compared to the rezound I've been using for the past month, which tomorrow becomes my wife's Rezound. Lastly, the screen is beautiful though very dim. I am definitely going to need to adjust the brightness. Well I'm off to better familiarize myself with ice cream sandwich.

I've been lurking this forum since the unveiling of the phone, but now that it has finally been made official it's time to celebrate and create an account here!
Thanks to each everyone of you guys and gals for all the updates and laughs.
Hope to read more happy posts from everyone with their new phones tomorrow!!!

It's going to feel weird not hearing the "DROIIIDDD" tone on my phone lol
but I guess I could always add it on.

acmonster · Dec 14, 2011

Sooo Excited that this is finally happening. This thread has gotten so large and been consuming my life for so long. Thanks to everyone here who helped, who had insights, who had funny stories, and just made this thread not that awful to come look at every ten minutes for the past two months. Happy Nexus day!

Wow! Today's announcement activated my secondary, tertiary, and quaternary honking (with delight) systems!

For Early and all other Neal Stephenson fans

Not on 4G phones you dont. You can call to activate but *228 is a thing of the past (on 4G)

Interesting. When I bought my Thunderbolt, VZW Tech Support had me do this as part of the troubleshooting steps to activate my phone.

I will re-edit my post.

This thread is probably speeding right along right now, but I'm just dropping in real quickly before I have an orchestra concert to go to:

IT'S FINALLY OFFICIAL!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE MY OWN EYES!

Will post my big post tomorrow morning (before I go to school, because I won't be able to post while I'm at school once the thread closes; assuming it's closing once we pick our Nexi up!)

Congrats Scotty G.!!!!!

rexdog1888 · Dec 14, 2011

Yay!! Finally...getting mine tomorrow before my first final. Cant wait!! Ill see yall in the All-Things-Root section.

Nashdroid · Dec 14, 2011

Just want to send out a special congratulations to all of my former Incredible Thread buddies. You know who you are, and you all know where you were when you saw the picture and the video below. Can't believe it's been that long since we were about to get the Incredible. I am finally leaving the Dinc after a wonderful time with it. I'll be getting the Gnex tomorrow. It was a nice ride. I'll see you all in the future! Enjoy your new phone!

What is everyone's experience as far as early upgrades? My upgrade date is 12/29 but of course I can't wait 15 more days to get this phone. What I'm being told is that they cannot adjust the date. Said I qualified for an early upgrade for a $20 fee, but I'm not eligible for the $50 discount until the 29th.

Should I just keep calling back until I get the right CSR to change the date? No luck so far with the two I've spoken with.

What the CSR is saying is partially true. What can be done is to get a manager to allow you to upgrade it early with the discount but you have to do it right there and then. I think the overwrite process involves the purchase of the new phone.

If CSRs aren't being helpful, just call in again and say "cancel my account". The next CSR will help you.

for those wondering about the thread closing...

im pretty sure Phases said it will close tomorrow morning at 11:30am EST

How early are you all going to arrive? my store normally opens at 10, but tomorrow (this entire week, holiday hours?) they open at 9. I was going to aim to get there at 8:30. If there are people outside already, I'll join the line. Otherwise I'll hang in my car and as soon as I see someone line up, I'll join them. Worst case, I will be #2 in line. Or do you all think 30 minutes early isn't enough?

This reminds me of the Steven Wright line: The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Verizon is claiming (I dispute their claim) my NE2 isn't up until Dec 29. Is there anyway I can get that 2 weeks early? Or are they sticklers about stuff like that?

Must have paid your bill on time
Must be a reasonably long term customer
Must have a reasonably large bill
Must have good luck getting a nice CSR
