UPDATED: My store will have the Nexus 12/15. New Date Confirmed!

[49er]

Oddly silent since yesterday.

Hence, why it probably wasn't the best choice to start a new thread to announce you were going to have the phone on Friday......until you were 100% sure you were going to have them and also be able to sell them.

 

[claret]

t/w tech support on a droidx problem; I asked him if he had access to GN prices, particularly full retail. After checking his computer he said "$650".

 

[DucatiDude]

You may have it on Friday, but you won't be selling it or buying it. Verizon has delayed the launch.

Geez dude give him some time, not everyone has a phone or computer attached to their hip at all times.

Uh, he's a Verizon Premium Retailer. Pretty sure he has a phone or computer on him right now.

More likely someone kindly advised him to shut his trap.

sorry I've been silent. I have been the only salesperson at the store today so have now just had a chance to get on the forums.

Our official word is that we don't know anything. We have contacted our Verizon corporate representative who is unable to give us any further information.

As soon as I have any more information, I will post the update in this thread.

If you are not currently aware, there is a nationwide 4g outage which is my speculation (pure speculation) on what is causing the delay.

 

[vinylfreak89]

thread updated. the 15th is a go. I will respond to those who have contacted me shortly.

I don't really want to know how you know... even though it entails my next question.... but...


How confident are you in what you just said? Would you bet your house/car/job on it? Are you above the 99% threshold?

 

[49er]

Deja Vu?

I'd bet all of the above. Unless someone steals the shipment

 

[NecoD]

Deja Vu?

Exactly!

 

[vinylfreak89]

Last time we had no control. Verizon sort of pulled the rug out from under us. Like I said, I can't say how, but this is a different situation.

 

[ratchetjaw]

So I have to work. Will my girl be able to go buy one for me? Going to buy out right and we are on seperate plans or will they require instore activation

 

[vinylfreak89]

If you are buying outright (full retail) they will not require activation.

Okay thats great news. Thank-you

I am the owner of the store Aaron works at and we have them in stock right now!

I've been instructed that we can start selling them tomorrow morning!

 

[fillyo]

Geez....i hope that is true, but this whole situation gives me little faith in your words.

I can't help but stare at my empty Diztronic case.

Sweet. Please TURN OFF YOUR EMAIL AND PHONE so that you aren't able to receive another "hold the presses" message from Verizon further delaying the launch.

Imagine the business you'll get...

I was just thinking that. Do not open any email from VZW corporate!

I have a dilemma...

I want to upgrade my kid's phone for christmas, but I can't decide on the Prime or the Rezound. From everything I read, other than the ICS update, there is nothing too amazing about this phone. So I am wondering if the Rezound would be better because it is supposed to get the update in the beginning of the year. Opinions?

Also, my kid is not eligible for the upgrade till the 18th, so I am wondering if the Prime will even be in stock. Anyone think there will be a shortage?

given all the speculation about this release being a soft launch, you will probably be fine by waiting till the 18th. regardless, if its only 4 days away, im certain that any corporate store would be willing to go the extra mile and get that line upgraded early.

I would go with the Rezound. I think it's more kid-friendly in terms of music, etc. It may also drop in price a bit depending on when you do the upgrade. Once the Optimus aka the Prime aka the Nexus hits, check both of them out -- I noticed the Nexus felt a bit "delicate" and if your kid is anything like I was as a kid that phone will be in and out of warranty repair. Not sure if the Rezound is any more solid, but checking the builds of the two phones next to one another is a definite smart move.

Only concern I would have re: the Rezound as a parent is Beats audio may be too loud (again, if your kid is anything like I was as a kid, he'll lose his hearing by the time he's 20). I didn't lose mine, but with technology (and Beats audio) for today's yoots, one can't be too careful.

Hope this helps...

Thanks guys. Anything will be better than his current phone....the Eris...lol. He is a bit of a tech geek, he likes to root and mod. Being that he is almost 16 yrs old, he is definitely always clumsy and rough on things.

That's a tough one, the Rezound may actually have better specs, and be more user friendly with better eye candy (sense). I am really curious to know what they will do with the four buttons when it gets the ICS upgrade in late 2012. I love HTC, but the Nexus will be my first non-HTC android phone.
