I think its going to be released on the 18th
Who cares if google upsets their partners for marketing this phone. Where are those carriers gonna run to? It's not like they can license iOS. They are stuck with Android because its FREE FREE FREEEEEEEEEEE.
Google should be promoting their standard first and all those loser phones second.
Tomorrow will be a big day for big news. Google Music...and Nexus US release information. Tomorrow will be a big day...
Maybe Santa will deliver on the 25th of December. I'll bet the GN doesn't show in stores until early 2012.
Just too many phones releasing this close together. All from different manufacturers so I'm hoping that I'm wrong and Friday is a Good Friday for all.
Training materials haven't helped a sales associates, yet. Why start now? Anytime I go in a store, the second I hear someone say "What can I help you with, today". I giggle like a schoolgirl thinking, "You sure can, see that person over there, go help them".Yep, I had the same experience in the mall the other day. The Rep said, "the Nexus won't hold a candle to the RAZR". I kindly advised him to do some homework on the Nexus![]()

I would love to believe this, and have been scouring for any good news. I've looked at this one from all angles, and still don't see it. Did I miss something that makes y'all believe that "On Order" = "Shipped"?

I agree with you. If the screen belongs to Samsung and it is true, current, and all data/input cells/fields get filled properly then it means that particular Samsung warehouse ordered 120400 units but they do not have it in stock yet. How long it takes to have any quantity on hand and how long it takes for allocation and shipping is unknown.
My personal guess is, we won't be able to receive the phone (not pre-order) before December 2011 if not close to middle December.
I bet they were shipped overnight.
Last month when the Bionic was released, the Costcos near me were getting them fed ex overnight. They would arrive at 11, manager would unbox (in front of me), get checked in to their inventory in about 20 seconds, handed one to me and I was out the door with my new phone within 20 minutes.
I don't see where this December guess is coming from! I bet the phones hit the stores tomorrow and they sell Friday. Why not? Katherine

you are under the assumption that verizon orders shipping that is as slow as ordering obscure chinese knockoff w/e from hong kong that takes 2 weeks to even make it past customs. I can assure you that corporate shipping does not take as long as that, the hard part is over and now we're getting close to the release.
I am in the logistics business and from factory door in China to delivery to a distribution center in the US, you are talking 2-3 days if they ship air freight and that includes Customs. This is my experience with another mobile phone maker.
