No new Nexus this year?

[pauldroidr2d2]

Had to call Verizon to order my wife's iPhone 5 because the website was acting up.
Anyways, asked the sales rep if Verizon was getting the next nexus and he seemed pretty confident that they would be. He even mentioned they should be announcing sometime soon because last year stuff started coming out around now. The guy seemed to be a little bit more knowledgeable than most Verizon reps I've spoken to.

There is one thing I have learned over the years about CSR's at VZW, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc... they generally are not informed as to what will be taking place in the future. They are treated as only being on a need to know basis and the corporate types don't really seem to think they need to know much of anything.

Just in my experience and opinion, the rumor's here at AC are generally speaking more accurate than the rumors I have been given via CSR's at the phone companies.

Maybe the rep posts here? I dunno, usually the reps I talk to seem like they got plucked from the unemployment line and have no clue as to what they're talking about. Maybe I'm just getting my hopes up because I finally spoke to one who knew something about cell phones, CDMA, and LTE.

I remember going into my VZW store the day before the GN dropped, to check if they had gotten some in, and maybe find out how many.The salesman looked a little startled when I asked, but he put up a good front, so I asked to talk to the manager, even she acted as if she was unaware of any release of a new phone the next day.
She said, I'll put you on a call list, and we'll can as soon as we know anything. I said OK, talk to you tomorrow.

So needless to say she calls me the next day, and I jokingly said, when I come in I'll be bringing your Academy Award with me. She didn't find it funny.

My point in all this is, VZW employees are told to be tight lipped about these things, and I'm sure in some cases, their employment may depend on it.

alot of the reps just know what they read in tech blogs and forums. we went through some crazy CSR rumors and crazy un true speculations from reps during the Thunderbolt fiasco. I dont belive a word a csr says to me anymore on upcoming devices, updates, ect. if it hasnt been out for over a week...they dont know ANYTHING! (in my experience)
