It's Here It's Here It's Here!!!!!!! I think?

I am now on my 4th replacement Droid 2 Global (after 4 Droid 2 regulars and 3 OG Droids) and i have almost thrown it out the window 47 times in the last 3 days...

(JUST GIVE ME A FREAKING NEXUS AND I WILL BE HAPPY I SWEAR)

Maybe your just not very good with phones....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe Nexus has meaning. It means vanilla Android with an unlocked boot loader and updates directly from Google. That means a lot to me.

It does, but the name means nothing to the normal consumer. It's a Nexus... "huh?".

What pisses me off is that even though they haven't technically delayed this phone since they never gave a release date, they're just sitting on this phone for their own greedy, money grubbing typical Verizon reasons. Samsung confirmed that they met Verizon's November 17th production deadline. What that tells me is that Verizon has had these damn things stockpiled somewhere just waiting for us since the 17th. Since they stand to potentially make more money off of the Razr and Rezound because of bloated goodies, they hold back the Nexus because they know that anything with the word Galaxy is going to obliterate the sales of their other devices. Of all Android phone families, the Galaxy line is most recognizable, even more so than the Droid line. I've talked to a lot of Verizon drones and they say the number one asked for phone is the Galaxy SII. Uhhhh....sorry we don't carry that....ouch. Next best thing, possibly better, the Galaxy Nexus >>> consumer of Droid profits.

It's a Samsung, that for me says, no thanks, ICS or no ICS its still a crap Samsung, who in their right mind would want to be stuck with a crap build Samsung.

You will be able to walk in Verizon the day it comes out and grab one.

My thoughts when I saw this thread: Don't bother opening it. Nothing to see here.

My thoughts after seeing the thread had grown to 6 pages in less than 12 hours: Wow, if everyone is reading it and posting maybe there really is something to it. Maybe if I don't read it I'll miss something! Maybe it really is here!

My thoughts after reading the thread: I was right the first time. And now I've become part of the deception by posting.

Ok, well last week I called Verizon(611) and had to fix my upgrade date since it was wrong in their system. I spoke to a rep and ask him if there was a release date for the G-Nex, he said there is nothing in the system. He then told me to follow up in a few days, so I did.

I just got off the phone with another Verizon rep and there is still nothing about a release date in the system, again I called 611. I then told him about Mr. Peak and his story(pretty much a fairytale) and he said if that was true he'd see it in the system and would have told me. So I say BS to you Mr. Peak. I want him to be right but all signs point to not. Just thought I'd let you all know what I was told less than 5 minutes ago.

This forum is crawling with Verizon reps. If the device actually showed up in their systems you'd hear it here first. You wouldn't have to call in because we'd know every detail.

Any Verizon rep on this forum is either an enthusiast or someone who takes their job very seriously. Otherwise why be here? So this comment does NOT apply to them. However it seems that many reps when faced with questions they don't know the answer to (such as the release date of the GN) find it easier to lie than to just say 'I don't know'. I was lied to face to face by a rep who said they were receiving shipments of them to his store that day (back in early November). He said he had unboxed the first one and was playing with it that morning. We were not at the store, we were at a Verizon tent at a fair so of course he could not show me the phone. But the dude made that up and just lied to my face. Why? I dunno. It certainly didn't help him make a sale. It doesn't make him look smarter. I honestly expected him to say he had no idea when it would come out and I wouldn't think any less of him for it. But no, he decided to lie. And just in reading the threads on this forum I was not the only one who was lied to by a rep who didn't know what to say.

So unless it comes from a rep on this forum I will NOT believe any rep who says they know when its coming out, or even if it is in the system. If they don't read this forum then I already know more about the release of this phone than they do, and that's not saying much. It's impossible to know if you're talking to an honest informed rep or someone just telling you what they think you want to hear.

 

[Liderc]

Yeah what I've realized is, the people who really know won't say. The people who don't know, love to pretend they do.

If there's no 4g in my area do I still have to pay for 4g? Because I'm getting this phone for christmas
