So, anyone that signed up for it, have you received any sort of email from Verizon touting the Nexus? I know I haven't and wanted to see if I was the exception or the rule.

I just don't understand. Why bother providing such a system, if you have no intentions of using it. I know this isn't the first time they have done this.

I had signed up for notification on 2 email accounts. First thing I checked this morning. Nothing. Great system, huh? :rolleyes:

Out of the three phones I've "signed up" for, I have received 1 email. A couple weeks after release. Agreed ... Another vzw mystery.

AntimonyER · Dec 15, 2011

Alright, first person besides me. Waiting in car though.

BabyBlues · Dec 15, 2011

On my way to the mall now!

Happy Nexmas! No corp store opens til 10 est. 1.5 hours MORE of slacking at work. Everytime I try to walk away, the forum just pulls me back in.

Picking mine up shortly. Excited. For those that have grabbed yours or had a GSM one already, what are your thoughts on the ringtone/speaker volume? I've been reading a lot of complaints that it'stoo low which has me a bit concerned since I need to hear the phone ring if I'm down the hall from it or something. If it can't be corrected (other than by using "Volume+" app, which I'd like to avoid), I'd be very sad to have to...I can scarcely think this....return it. Thanks, gang!

Volumes not as bad as people make out. Id does get muffled when the phone is facing screen up because the speaker is on the back. I think its just the notification tones are at a low volume.

WOOT for fellow 'Wusta' homey

Be sure to get in and out man, there's going to be one HUGE funeral procession downtown this morning!
RIP Jon Davies

I know. That's today.

But I went to the sturbridge Verizon. I figured that would be my best chance. Badger is from here also!!!

Where you getting yours?

Same here. The official release was done via Twitter. Whatever...

Merry Nexmas fellow Gnexers!

Looks like we won't hit 90k posts... in fact, we'll be hard pressed to hit 89k. And you know what?

ITS OKAY!

Most of us will be far too busy with our Nexi to post much anyway. My store opens at 9 AM CST, so I leave in about 90 minutes to play with Nexus, RAZR and ReZound side-by-side (and to make sure I am first in line for Nexus) and to listen to my son complain about how his Eris so desperately needs replacing... and how I so desperately need to buy HIM a Nexus too so we can beam together.

HA! I say again.... HA! Get off the video games, son, and get a JOB!

So let's go get our Nexi!

I guess you and I can finally agree on the number of days until release Chief.

Good morning for the last time my friends. Talk about exciting!!!!

Cindir4 · Dec 15, 2011

Now I am getting nervous. Got my appointment all set up.

BUT, what if the thrill of the hunt was more fun than the tropy at the end?

What if it ends up being like the Bionic?? :eek:

I really thought I HAD to have that one too. It is the only big new and best release phone that I actually went in to the store, had my hands on and just went neh. Doesn't do it for me.

What if all this waiting and hoping and excitement and the phone is a total dud?? Is that even possible?

Someone slap some sense into me!!

soy.lor.n · Dec 15, 2011

First in line, but there are literally like 100+ people here mall walking! I knew NH was one of the oldest states, but this is ridiculous!

PS It took me 20 minutes to post this on my intercept. No joke.

Deleted User · Dec 15, 2011

See how easy this was, Verizon? Release it, and they will come.

Stigy · Dec 15, 2011

Blown away by this phone. It's so so so so so so fast.

Not getting any work done today - no way, no how.

You. Now!

Real question is, once some one does, who is the fastest?

I too, was cranked up for the bionic. The second I saw it, and that hideous screen, I was over it.

Held the nexus last night.... Did NOT have the same feeling.

I'm pretty sure you'll be happy.

markgiur · Dec 15, 2011

Anyone else in Florida find out if Best Buy will have Stock? I am hoping and praying!...........

johninc · Dec 15, 2011

Couple things. First, the obligatory "goodbye and thank you". Much respect to the mods, guides, sources, and the little people. See you all in the other threads.

Anybody in Omaha going this morning? I don't expect long lines, I'll be surprised if four or five people are waiting.

How is the unlocking and rooting going? I plan to do that right away, barring any problems popping up.

See you on the other side!

AntimonyER · Dec 15, 2011

Someone came walking up from the back parking lot, so I quick walked up to the door. They were just walking through though, Haha.

Thank goodness I decided to order online and get it tomorrow since I'm off work Friday. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to focus on anything else. Well, not that I can now since all I can think about is the delivery.

nj02vette · Dec 15, 2011

2 hours waiting outside store. First in line. Out of the store in 10 min. Daughter to school. And now my first post from the GNex.

Stigy · Dec 15, 2011

I have 3 hours to prepare my farewell post, huh?

carpmike21 · Dec 15, 2011

Got my Nexus in downtown Boston. 4 people in line at 7:20; 30+ by 8:00.
