Has nothing to do with inventory. Best Buys already got them. Verizon corporate and indirect got them. The shack got them.

They did push the thunderbolt due to lte issues if you recall. The lte issues the other day may be connected.

My money is on Thursday.

Oh I'd be pissed. Some poor sap will buy your used nexus for full price! Lol. I would be raising hell. No one here even has them in stock except the Verizon stores. All the radioshacks say they'll probably won't get them until a week after its released.

This makes sense as to why they're just sitting in storage. If there were issues not of Verizon's fault, it would make no sense for them to not explain - throwing someone else under the bus.

How does VZW plan to remove google wallet in phones that are already shipped out and sitting in boxes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
They weren't
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Swiftks:
Is anybody really surprised... i mean pure Google phone and Verizon... sounds like a shotgun wedding instead of a happy marriage. Hopefully Google learns their lesson and stciks to GSM carriers from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I can't believe that Verizon(amongst others) still use CDMA technology considering that it dates back to 1957(initial use).

nothing beats LTE speed wise though... just wish it didn't kill batteries so quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Did you know HSPA is also based on CDMA technology?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
So why does Google Wallet not come preinstalled on my GSM Nexus..? Why would Google preinstall it on the CDMA/LTE Nexus but not the GSM one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Because Google Wallet is US-only at the moment.

I called a few places and no one have them. I called Verizon again and they they don't even have a release date. It was a female and she didn't seem to have answers to anything so I'm not worried about it.

If thats the case why is supposed cause of delay google wallet? Phones are already in stores and you cant change software except through an OTA

Troll alert. Look at the wall. Clearly a commercial building. Employee trolling. Hence why if you look at the angle taken on the photo it appears to have been taken sneakily. Judging by your model of phone in your sig as well, your probably a multi-carrier reseller like radio shack or best buy mobile. This **** is getting annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xRogerxC:
This thread is just pure comedy! I'm glad I have my Rezound to play with right now. Yes, I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus also. I'm not going to go crazy speculating when it will be released. When it's available, I'll have it. Hang in there everyone :-)

Sent via my HTC Rezound using XDA premium app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
To my understanding it is a legal issue surrounding Google Wallet. Basically is it legal for Verizon to block it in order to avoid competition with its service. Verizon could be trying to get this worked out before releasing the phone.

That coupled with the 4g outage could be the cause for the most current delay. I think that the initial delay was due to the Razr and Rezound.

Really though it was a government conspiracy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
Same here. Best combo ever. I have a Bionic too unfortunately. Worst phone I've used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Funny thing I was thinking of is... You don't think PP is going to try and incorporate NFC into their app to pay for things? How is Verizon going to block PayPal? What about any other NFC payment service that is going to be out there? I really don't understand their whole argument. You can use both! Let us have the choice, and stop trying to be the Gestapo carrier.

"sakuul" works at RadioShack. That's not even his phone lol.

Nice try, n00b. "Post History" gives you away in 30 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valkyrie743:
well i thought i would share my story.

i went to my local radioshack yesterday morning (9 am) talked to the manager and he said that he had one on order and though it was coming in today. he said to stop or call back later in the afternoon. well i did around 4pm. he got it in.

i went there and the manager was not there it was some kid and some bitty (dumb blond) well im on ATT right now (iphone 4) i said i want to port my number over to verizon and i want that phone. he didnt know what he was doing. well after about 40 minutes he finally got my number ported (to my family's account) it was all set and ready to go. he started to do the POS and said that his system could not find it in inventory and im like "o you ****er" i told him cant you just manually input a sale for 299.99 + tax? and he didnt really say anything being that he was not sure what he was doing. well he called the manager and got off the phone. he said that he had to call some rep to see if it released. if it didnt he would have to cancel it

well you guessed it. his rep said it was not released yet so he had to call verizon and terminate my number............. i had the phone in my hand.:( well being that i ported my number. i had to go to ATT to port it back or some crap being that the kid didnt do it over at radio shack. so my 2 hour night of joy turned into that

and on top of that i found out that my cpu died (my motherboard died and just found out that it took the cpu with it.... i7 2600K) 300+ cpu. yeah so im not in a good mood.

they better release it this coming week. this is bull****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I have those days where tech works against you. You shoulda did what I just did and picked another phone and states with Verizon, then exchanged it when its released.

Mines going through work so I had to pull in some big wigs to authorize it, but they even let me bill the phone to the company! So when the nexus comes out, I'll just walk in and swap it out. Now I'm not rushed.

Kinda like the rezound. Feels good in my hand. Its fat but that'll get me used to the extended battery on the nexus. Hate Sense, but adw ex and a new keyboard eases the pain. All 3 razr units were dead and it felt like crap in hand.

-sent from temp HTC Rezound waiting for Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Same as me. Have the Rezound until the Nexus comes out, but don't really hate it. With enough software modification it's not a bad device, but Sense is horrific and the keyboard needed to go. Plan on picking up an extended battery for the Nexus while I'm exchanging it, but luckily the manager said he'd waive the restocking fee since he wants the Nexus too and hates the wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] je2345:
Yea i got the razr til Nexus releases. When we got them in our store I put my sim from my razr in it and started playing with it to satisfy my obsession to have it. Date is planned for the 15th. Got case-mate cases in stock too so I got my case ready to go also. Phone is so damn smooth and the blind type built into ICS for typing is amazing. So accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
Heh... Looks like we're all on temp devices waiting for the GN.

I got my Rezound at Best Buy for $219, decided to call up 611 though & asked if when the GN comes out, if i can just do a straight swap for my Rezound & they said yes + waiving the restock fee also because of all the delaying b.s. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I also didn't know the Rezound comes with induction charging. I noticed it when I took the backplate off to load up the SD card (making the most of it). That also explains why it's a little on the thicker side. Sucks the SD card is locked in by the battery. Makes it more of a permanent fixture.

At least the LG G2x had it on the side for easy of access after popping off the cover.

When will someone build a perfect device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
$219? How? It's $299 everywhere else.

I forgot to mention when I got the phone that my company has a contract with Verizon...was supposed to only pay $269. I gotta go back in Monday and get it fixed (guessing they'll just give me a $30 credit, which I'll then use toward the extended Nexus battery lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fr4c:
Not induction charging; its actually contact points for the backplate/battery door for the Rezound's reception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
When i got it i asked if they do price matching and found it listed on walmart.com for $219 so they matched it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Huh...well that would have been nice lol just spent $1k on tires 2 weeks ago and now another $300+ on a phone. That extra $100 would be great to have going into the Christmas season :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Hopefully they won't give you fits about pricing the SGN. The next CSR might make you pay the difference... Be cool if they didn't though.

Going from a 4" to a 4.3" also isn't that noticeable. Feels the same as my G2x... Except my typing is a little off. I was afraid the bigger screen of the SGN would be rough. The rezound is like my training wheels.

I like the beats headphones though. I compared them with my cheapie Sony's and there is a big difference. Although I noticed Beats audio enables with the headphones which makes me wonder if it is just an audio profile.

Didn't say I had paid for the phone yet, it won't ring up in the POS. But the phone is mine.

Yes I, am on sprint, but anyone on sprint would tell how crappy the data is, can't wait to get MY number on this thing. Went in to work that day and the first thing I did after posting that was to have my manager ring me up. As you can tell that didn't go as planed.

Played with one at best buy mobile today. They said its for sale tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sakuul:
I can only hope so, there was no notice or anything that is was going to be sold tomarrow. Of course there also was no notice telling me it wasn't for sale today either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
Best buy never has restocking fee ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea I dunno. Perhaps best buy already had the ads printed up with it or something. Weird that best buy will have it before VZW. I just picked up my tempt rezound from a corp store. Its a business line too so I can't just buy one without getting someone else involved. Ill just wait until the stores have them and I'll just swap.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Tell me this, if anyone knows. If i purchased my Rent-a-RAZR at Verizon and by chance a radio shack is willing to sell me one, would I be able to return the phone to Verizon and hop over to radio shack? What would be the easiest way to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
I agree, I used to work for Best Buy and these ads are in the system as early as two weeks in advance and are shipped to store on the Wednesday before the sale. I recall when the Xoom came out I snapped a picture of the AD two weeks in advance and it got out on the interwebs right around the exact time Motorola aired their superbowl Ad. which caused them to post a message about leaking info to the public.

Anyway enough rambling, If it is in the AD one of two things will happen in the morning. It will either release and we will all be happy to have our new phones, or they will post an AD correction stating it is not out yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Maybe convience the Verizon store to sell you one since everyone else is...

I'm just waiting till the store gets them. If you return it to Verizon, they'd either have to change your upgrade status or delete your line. Either won't be immediate and can take a few days. Radioshack just calls into Verizon activation. As long as the store associate informs the Verizon activation department and notes your account it may work....

I tries something like this at Walmart and I spent 3 hours arguing with at&t in the middle of an isle.

Sent from Asus Transformer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
It won't be for sale tomorrow. BestBuy stores had gotten an email stating they'd be *getting* the phone by the 11th, but no details beyond that. That was also before Verizon delayed the phone, so any dates they had are now worthless.

My strongest guess would lead to the 15th. Nobody knows for sure, obviously, but the 15th sounds like a strong possibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Wasn't there official statements from Best Buy saying they were going live Sunday the 11th? I dunno. Doesn't bother me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Not sure if you didn't know, but trolling is actually against the board rules. All you're doing is annoying people.

Best chance that it'll be out on the 15th. Verizon has already promised it'll be out this year, so if they back out of that Google will have their heads. You don't want Google in a dispute with you, or it could affect *all* of your Android sales; which, for Verizon, would mean 75% of their phone sales would be gone in an instant.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JTF2007:
Yea my "temp" device is my 2-year old Droid Eris...This release (delay) sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eratosthenes:
Although I saw the radio-shack email stating they'll receive advert displays on the 14th, i'm getting the sense that it really is going to be January 1st. The Gnex fan club is going to hold out even it takes another half month for the release... so it doesn't matter if they sell now or jan 1st while sales are riding smoothly on the RAZR. Maybe people will burn cash on the GNex after they've settled for the RAZR (also they don't want people returning the RAZR I suppose) I'm trying to understand the marketing strategy behind it all. Sadly, phones 5x more powerful are going to be released 1st quarter next year

I want the phone just as much as anyone here if not more... I'm using a 3+ year old device atm (Samsung Delve), but this entire thread would make the waiting more painless if it didn't exist. Every other post is a troll post.

I'd it doesn't come out this week then Verizon are really screwing the pooch on purpose. It seems they just plain don't want to sell it because it would interfere with their holiday sales.

Perhaps they want the Rezound and Razr to be it this holiday.

Has anyone tried going to best buy today to see if they would sell it to you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheCraiggers:
I tried going on the 9th, and they kept thinking I was asking for a Nexus S. Really annoying. It was pretty obvious that the lady I was talking to had never even heard of the phone.

Contrasted with the Comtronics lady who knew of the phone, had them in stock, but could not sell it to me. That was even more annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconeight:
Exactly your proving my point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdiego:
I am reading several posts over on another forum that some best buy stores on the east coast are selling them. Some had to ring up a razor since the nexus would not show up on there systems, or a manager had to do a override or something. But others saying they had not and no eta. So I quess it depends on the store or employee. Time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GalaxynexusVZW:
I am supposed to be getting it for my son for christmas. Do you think they will be backordered and out of stock quickly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
If they decide to release it on the 15th, absolutely not. If they release it on the 19th (the other rumored date), absolutely not.

The thing about Nexus phones is that a vast majority of the people that buy them are a bit more technically minded. Average people usually shy away from them because they usually don't have the top specs, and those people are drawn to the crappy skins/themes that other companies use (Sense, TouchWiz, and the artist formerly known as MotoBlur)...so they don't care much for the Nexii.

Also, the corporate stores are getting in the neighborhood of 50 in the first shipment. Most of them already have shipments of this size...which means they're not going to sell out.

Thought you said your store is selling it? Hrm?

I called a few, including the "Best Buy Mobile" sites, which are locations in the malls, but none of them would sell. One guy said he has some in stock and pretty sure they're selling them, but when he asked to make sure the boss said no and to call back this week.

Eh, I'll just hold on to this Rezound until Thursday. Already have vacation on Thursday and Friday because of something else, so I could just drop by the Verizon store when it opens in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Anyone know if they are selling screen protectors for the GN? Good ones? And do they have someone to apply them? I'm terrified of screwing it up myself on my GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I bought a Wrapsol Ultra for the GN already. I've heard really great things about their screen protectors, and the new ones are dry-application, which I'm more comfortable with (since I've never applied a wet protector before). I haven't had a screen protector on my past 3 phones, but the gorilla glass held up great. I've heard the glass on the Nexus can be hit-or-miss, in terms of scratch resistance. Definitely worth spending $15 on a good screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
I just read on Phandroid some lucky people out there were able to get the gnex from best buy. My question is I have a good line of credit with Verizon and they let me bill all of my upgrades to my account would best buy honor that it is it cash up front.

Any residue left on the dry ones? I really need one myself since I don't trust my pockets. I just stink at applying them myself. I figure BB is my best bet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NicholasQ:
No, those are just RUMORS. Asus came out themselves and denied a delay. People are just speculating and spreading unconfirmed info. It may be delayed, but it may not. Nobody knows for sure. And the rollout of the nexus is not what is disappointing.The whole verizon bloatware/ google wallet fiasco and the samsung controlled devices. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eratosthenes:
What disappoints me is that just around the corner Q1 next year: (rumored at least) 2.5Ghz X4 Phones for probably the same price as the Gnex (rumored to be 300$ /w new contract) is now... That is a huge step when you look at the 2 years it took to just double in processing

Rumor of Many:

news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-57325775-17/zeta-blocker-htc-may-have-a-2.5ghz-quad-core-smartphone/

Charge 300$ Jan 1st; then 3-4 months later charge same price for a phone 5x+ more powerful? The longer it takes for this to release, the more of a pickle it puts my mind in. What would you do?
