Completely gratuitous, I know. But enjoy!

I am facilitating it!

**Eric Kane** · 12-02-2011, 08:33 AM

I do believe the end is near, folks.

My birthday is 12/8, so I'm hoping for an awesome birthday present!

**jpprice** · 12-02-2011, 08:43 AM

Nice! I think this thing may actually drop soon!

**jpbass7** · 12-02-2011, 08:46 AM

My birthday is 10/19, so that will make 12/8 extra special!

**skwon09** · 12-02-2011, 08:53 AM

I live in NYC and will be in Chicago for a biz trip 12/8-12/9. If it launches on the 8th, should I just buy at a corp verizon store in Chicago or pre-order online? Verizon rep I talked to last night told me that as long as I purchase the device at a corporate store, I will be able to return or exchange (though I'm not planning to) at a store in NY.

In case of preorder, chance of me receiving the beast on 12/7 would be slim, right???

I don't know what to do.

**gnipeh** · 12-02-2011, 08:59 AM

Is this a organization offering Verizon employees training on Nexus ("Register using your corporate @verizonwireless.com email address")?

Doesn't the training should happen before the phone is out? Does this mean it will be after 8th?

**Premium1** · 12-02-2011, 09:01 AM

So they only have training for 30 minutes? I mean I guess they figure the employees will not know that much anyway so why spend a lot of time on it.

My birthday is 8/14. So an early December release would be great for me too.

What does this really mean? I thought indirect sales recieved phones later than Verizon Wireless. So if they are being trained on 12/6-12/8, what does tha really mean?

This.
Verizon employees should be well train by now I assume since 3rd party are getting thiers then.

So does a 12/8 launch still a go or earlier? Since best buy is getting it couple days aafter that indirect training. ?

**ChuckG73** · 12-02-2011, 09:43 AM

If Verizon is releasing this phone on the 8th, why wouldn't they release a lunch dat by now. The 8th is less than a week away. I am so over this...

Appears to be December 15th area. As an employee, webinars are about a week to a week and a half before launch. Now I worked for corp, not a third party dealer so idk there processes. The 8th is probably a preorder date though, if I'm judging by the op

No way this phone will be out before or on the 8'th. I think the middle of the month will be the release time frame.

Yea that would Make more sense but what if Verizon store corps would have an exclusive Verizon store only launch so they can get as much before the 3rd party launch.
Release 12/8 just Verizon stores then later on the 3rd parties.

**Eric Kane** · 12-02-2011, 10:21 AM

There hasn't been any change recently on that December 8th date, so I'm going with that. I'd hope that we'll hear something directly from Verizon today or Monday, but I've been hoping for that everyday since late October.

We could only hope.

I don't know what to do.

The Thunderbolt was released when I was in Vegas for a business trip and I purchased one at a corp store there and had to return for a replacement back home in Michigan without any issues so I know you will be fine doing that.

I have no idea if you would receive it early doing a preorder if they are available, have seen a few users in AC get their devices early by preordering.
