You guys sound too fine for what's going on here. I am so utterly pissed off at how Verizon is doing this. We are the last to get this stupid thing and it's taken far far too long now, with not even a piece of information in the meantime. I am so mad at this and there's nothing I or we can do about it. Every week it becomes next week and the week after. I am so strained from waiting for this to happen. It feels like it's been a year of waiting now.
If you've followed the launch (or lack thereof) of the LTE Nexus from the beginning as a lot of us have, you'll learn that most of us have come to grips with what Verizon is doing, or not doing. There's been a lot of highs and lows over the past 3-4 months following this device closely. Quite honestly, I'm never followed a device this closely. I think for a lot of us, this is the first device to come along since the OG Droid that is worthy of an upgrade. I've had my upgrade available since May and have passed on a lot of phones, but none were worthy of a two year commitment in my eyes.
To address your statement, no, I'm not fine with what's going on with this launch, and yes, I'm completely maddened at Verizon's handling of this device. In all honesty, as each day passes, I feel quite numb. Leaks and rumors have little effect on me at this point. Far too many let downs. I have every intention of buying this device despite Verizon's apparent attempt at beating us into submission by failing to acknowledge it, save for that one single announcement a while back. In the end, it's just a piece of electronics. I'm done stressing and done being sucked into the game Verizon is playing. When it finally launches, I will get it and enjoy the hell out of it, because it seems very apparent that this is the last Nexus we'll ever see on Verizon.
