New Accounts $149 @ Amazon Wireless

I am still seeing 1-3 weeks on wireless.amazon.com

Yeah, I'd say they are OOS now. It was 24 hours and in stock a few hours ago. Should have pulled the trigger!! Live and learn...

Man - I wonder if that was in error. Mine (the second since the first was DOA) still hasn't shipped . . .

And I just got an email saying my second Nexus has shipped. Order placed near 6 pm PT on the 19th.

Mine finally shipped and was ordered on the 17th...Glad the turn around for your replacement wasn't too bad.

I shall have a phone again tomorrow! Thanks for all the insight on shipping times guys.

Mine shipped yesterday as well, excited for tomorrow to get this bad boy in my hands providing that UPS doesn't screw up. I live in a secured building and sometimes you get a driver who hasn't been there before and won't bother trying to get in and just leaves a missed notice on the entrance door. Congrats to everyone who has been waiting like me, I hope this phone works out for us all!

Mine is out for delivery now. Stoked (but reserved, knowing last time didn't go so well).

So I got my phone and go figure when I try and activate it the 4g isn't working so now I have to wait for it to activate some other way.

I called Verizon and all they told me was to take out the sim card and re insert it somehow that would activate it again...But that isn't working, so now I have no clue how to activate the phone, what's the point of having a phone if I can't get on the network???

I have been using the Wifi so far and this phone is amazing!!!

It's funny you say that because I can't activate mine either. When I made the call to customer service I was told my order was in switch and that the problem would sort itself out shortly. She also said there was nothing she could do beyond that. She said the problem would sort itself out shortly and I would be able to activate but 5 hours later and nothing. Getting really irritated at this point.

Mine activated fine. Maybe trying a factory reset would do the trick?

I left everything out of the phone last night (battery + sim card)

Plugged everything in this morning and turned the phone on. About 3 minutes later I got a text from Verizon telling me welcome to the network and all that. Shortly thereafter got a 4g signal and have been using the phone all day.

As I am typing this the battery is down to about 6%

So I guess in short the phone did everything itself, you might just have to keep waiting, unfortunately.

I love this phone. Battery blows but otherwise it's a 10.

 

[cyberr8der]

I have about 4 hours of screen on time at 18%. Overall that's about what I expected.

Yeah I've tried factory resetting many times. Left my phone off while I was asleep and tried to when I woke up and still nothing. I think Verizon is having some major issues right now, not a good first impression for me.

Asked amazon for a replacement and my original date was Jan 17th for estimated delivery and I ordered Wednesday. Just got an email that it shipped. That was fast.

I ordered a Galaxy Nexus and another phone for my girlfriend with her old number being ported onto that phone well long story short the phone numbers somehow got mixed up and my new number ended up being on her phone and my Nexus still isn't able to be activated until they get the other number completely ported over. What a frickin mess.

 

[JoeMimic]

Spent an hour and a half at a Verizon store this afternoon trying to get this phone activated. Looks like I got a DOA phone that won't activate. Looks like I get to go back to waiting for my Nexus

They're back up at AmazonWireless for $229, who knows how long it's going to last.Still back ordered 1-3 weeks it says though.

So I am do for an upgrade and at verizon they priced me at 250 with my work discount. I just hopped on amazon to try and get the 229 deal and it defaulted me back to 250.... WTF

Are there other sites where you can get this phone for cheaper?

I have a charge and had the gnex, but returned it due to it not being much different. However one of the other people on my account want a droid charge and said they would give me 150 for it so I would do that i upgrade to the gnex but no way am I paying 300 or 250.

Call me cheap but hey getting married this year and just bought a house so any savings is great!
