Or maybe he got a lemon since this doesn't seem to be a recurring issue with the few who got a nexus early or the testers....

I'm just hoping the Gnex comes out with a $199.99 price tag so I can go back to best buy and get reimbursed some of the cost since I Paid $299.99. The launch price isn't known yet so we kind of just went with that price but price matching may kick in by the end of this week!

After reading that and the links in there, this situation is getting ugly.
After getting calls and texts to return the phone or an employee would get fired, I would have to think hard on that one.
On the one hand, keep the gorgeous Nexus.
On the other hand return it so someone can keep his job.
I'm a pretty cutthroat guy but arrg yea I guess I would return it. (VERY RELUCTANTLY!)
ask them for something in return. like a year of free service or something like that. THey messed up let them fix it. Or keep the phone. I doubt they will fire anybody over it. If they do I would smell a big lawsuit on their hands.

is it not legally wrong for companies to threaten an employee with being fired??? obviously its probably at will employment where they can be fired for any reason, but i have a feeling they cant actually threaten you with it unless a customer returns a product. Its not like they stole it

I can tell you now the BB Rep who sold it to me won't be getting fired. His manager, the inventory manager, other reps and BB Help desk all said it was ok for him to sell it to me and told him how to do the work around to charge me. If anything, his manager would probably just be called and told not to sell anymore. I doubt heads will be rolling from this.
Same here...we had 4 managers trying to figure it out and the actualy salesman was meerley following orders. Whoever set the date may get a talking to, but i doubt it will progress further than that
I think part of that is the consumer's fault as well. We are way too quick to bust out the store that sold the devices (and sometimes even the names of the cashier) on public forums. If somebody were nice (and possibly stupid) enough to risk losing their job to sell me a phone earlier than they should have, there is no way I'm going to sell them out to a public forum. If people ask I would PM them the store location, but that's it.
Now everybody should think back to this the next time they plead with a retail clerk to break the rules on the next big-time release. Nobody is going to be willing to do that, knowing that their name and store # is going to be posted all over the internet.
