Daughter has to be at school @8:30. So I had to make sure I was first in line so I could get everything done and get her to school on time.

Have to say the first time I actually enjoyed a pop up ad on this site was the one this morning of a big beautiful Nexus with a VZW logo. I immediately jumped on their site and saw the ad up front.
So excited. It's definitely been a ton of fun being part of this thread. I really look forward to joining you guys and gals in the future!

And yep, I'll be at RadioShack at 9am eastern for open!

Zero advertising here also. And I thought I was nuts by 2hrsher early.

Well guys, I am off to work. May you all be blessed with Nexus's today. It's been a helluva ride.

redchilicat · Dec 15, 2011

I signed up for both the Samsung and Verizon emails way back when and I haven't gotten an email from either. As long as I get my phone I don't care if they shun me

RookTheKlown · Dec 15, 2011

It feels so good pulling up Verizon's page and seeing our precious on the front page.

One more hour and I'll be taking off to get mine. They told me they'd be holding one, so I shouldn't have to worry about a line. Although it's in a BJ's, and they said they never get a rush there anyway.

Been here since 5:45. Still alone. Manager just arrived. No advertising, no nexus out.

***EDIT - The TV has a nexus promo....only sign of it anywhere.

Off to the Verizon store, baby!

blackwaterTM · Dec 15, 2011

I got an email from VZW about the Nexus at 0130.

But I have to work today, no stores nearby, either. So I am rolling the dice and heading to a big corporate store on the way home. They would not hold one for me last night, but suggested calling an hour after opening to gauge how fast they were going.

zx10droid · Dec 15, 2011

Sorry to ask guys because I'm sure it's been asked, but has anyone successfully had the $100 that was noted to their account applied by calling in?

Sorry if this was discussed already. Did anyone receive an email from that sign up page for the nexus news? I didn't and to think about it more, pretty sure I signed up and never received anything for the Razr our Rezound.

Surprisingly, I got an email at 1:13am. I didn't even put my email in the Nexus page. I put my email in during the DInc launch... :rolleyes:

acmonster · Dec 15, 2011

I have a work luncheon that i think i'm going to skip out early on just to pick this up. Of all days!

Mikey P · Dec 15, 2011

When you root, do you lose the ability to OTA? I think I am going to unlock first (so that I get the wipe out of the way) and then wait for the OTA that I heard is pushing out and then Root at a later date. Any thoughts?

Probably already ninja'd but I read on droid life? that ota's are not affected.

Who is buying from LetsTalk? I hope they don't screw the order up... $155 was hard to pass up with free overnight shipping hopefully it will be here on Friday.

I actually was about to give in to the $$ and order it from letstalk, but right when I did, I saw that somewhere along the way it went from $229 before $75VZN to $289 for my order.

I agree that it's probably based on the plan you have (in this case, it's the smallest family plan you can get) and even though we were adding a line, that bumped the price up a ton. For $155 vs. $249 it was a hard choice. For $215 vs. $249, it's pretty easy. Of course that price is assuming I can get my $50 corporate discount at the store, which my CSR told me earlier that I could, but like I said, I apparently got the most incompetent ones they have... :rolleyes:

At the very least I've got a $30 loyalty discount. Gonna try using both...

No advertising here either. Big splashy ads for razor and fruit phone.

Still haven't slept yet...debating whether to just stay up all the way.

Yes but your in Hawaii! You win.

One other car in the parking lot. No GN signs here. Less than a half hour now.

Hi fellow nexus fans!!!

I preordered a Nexus at a indirect verizon store last friday and they said the purchase order for their phones was made on 12/06, but as of yesterday didnt have them in at all according to them. Is there a good chance they come in today if they arent already there? Have you heard of a premium retailer not getting new phone on same day as release as corporate stores. Thanks for all the input I can get, so I can make up my mind about what to do cause I paid the whole price of 300.00 plus tax when i preordered. They are trying to tell me that they cant refund it, but never stated that during transaction. Closest corporate store is about hour away, so thats why i went this route to begin with.

longball10 · Dec 15, 2011

My GF text me this morning after we both left for work.. "Merry Nexmas baby, hope it lives up to your expectations" lol

WheresTheBeef · Dec 15, 2011

Got to my store at 7:30 and was the only one here until I saw another car park. It's usually a pretty busy store but guess this phone will never have the same hubbub as the fruit phone. Fine with me!
