Kind of piggy-backing on Phil's post, but I haven't seen it yet on these forums. On the main page, Phil posted a leaked photo from Samsung with a large amount of Galaxy Nexus phones being shipped to Verizon. Can't say for sure what that means, but it does feel like this is finally....FINALLY...coming to an end.

Nice find!

There are 120,399 units available after I get mine. Get 'em while they're hot!!

Let's just say this: That's not the total number of units nationwide.

gadzooks!!??! you mean that's just regional? or are you referring to proper VZW stores (not third party retailers)?

[greydarrah]

I've said it a number of times...I think (no proof, just my opinion) that we'll be buying this baby on Thursday.

[moondrius]

It would make sense for Verizon to put it out as soon as possible. With the holiday return policy in place putting it out and letting people buy the phone they want will minimize returns. All of the people buying Razrs and Rezounds are probably going to find out about the Galaxy Nexus before the January cut of date and are going to be interested.

[ManBearPig618]

Yeah...it's really not in VZW's interest at all to see high returns on Rezounds/RAZRs because people want "rentals" while waiting for the Nexus. At this point, I think the sooner the better.

[Mooem]

So, does anyone really think they would sit on inventory for an entire month (per latest mid-December rumors that are floating around)?

[Eric Kane]

P3Droid does. Don't shoot him; he's just the misinformed messenger.

If by messenger you mean asshat then yes.

Only reason I can think they would sit on them was to increase their overall sales in both the Razr and Rezound figuring they will sell a ton of Nexus regardless.

I read somewhere that the Razr has been a bust so far sales-wise. Is that actually the case? If so, it could effect the release date for the Nexus.

[Live2ride883]

I just wish vzw would give the csr's (call center and store's) an actual pre-order and release or shipped by date.
ohhh and a price.

Im ready for my Nexus ,

This is my thinking as well if they were to artificially delay a release for any reason. We know the hardware and software is ready, so unless there's a game breaking bug or some extensive testing going on, I can't think of any other hold up other than bottom line reasons.

[jokeefe10]

hold on a sec.....didn't phil say yesterday he was hearing it was delayed and this morning droid-life confirmed his sources were saying the same thing? this is getting crazy, more twists and turns than a soap-opera

[smartphonedude]

Still hoping for a friday release

[Tom in Bristol]

Welll, lessee now...that shot has a quantity in the 'On Order' column.

Izzat a VZW screen or a Samsung screen?

No 'Shipped' column. No 'Received' column.

Mayhaps there's a '89 Chevy cargo van on I-80 headed east...

and there's a blizzard building in the Rockies!

[CynicX]

I can't wait for a year from now when we are all waiting for the new phone coming out talking about the GN fiasco. Keeping in mind we are making it said fiasco. :-)

[davidnc]

Im standing by my guess of friday .
Im thinking price will be 299.00 with 2 year contract,
With my upgrade already past due will get an addtional 50 dollars off of that

Funny you say that. I went to Verizon last week when they released the Razr and I'm not in a big city but the population is over 30K and they sold their first one when I was there 4 hours after they opened. The guy who bought the phone was a brother of a high school friend that I wanted to talk him out of it and wait for the Nexus but the mgr is a good friend and I couldn't do that to him.

They really missed a huge opportunity to focus their ad campaign on people who loved the original Razr. Ah well. I wouldn't have bought it anyway

i agree. i think we'll get an official announcement tomorrow (wednesday) from Verizon, with availability of the phone being this Friday (both in-store and online).

just a gut feeling....in combination with the FCC approval and the leaked photo of the shipment of the gazillion galaxy nexus phones...

but i am kinda weary about the rumors of the release being delayed in the UK

Looks like it's going to be a real "Black Friday" for RAZR and Rezound sales if the Nexus is released by then.
