Ok I know I know ...POIDH
But...
I just talked to a dev who I guess works on the Google dev platforms. I forget what role he has but he doesn't work directly for Google.
He's played with the Prime. He smiled and just said a few things about it. Said build quality is not impressive. Its pretty thin. Feels plasticky. Screen is nice. It does have LTE.
He ALSO said the HTC Vigor is a nicer phone: much better build quality and looks nicer. I think someone else said the same before.
Thats all I got. I wont see him anytime soon but he's the roommate of a friend's friend.

So I spoke to my brother finally, he works for google. I tried over and over for him to give me some info, I will not state his name because I don't want him to get fired. Finally he did give me some inside information. He said that Verizon WILL have the Nexus and will have it first. I asked him about the keyboard and he said that they are working on a keyboard version for Sprint. He said November 3rd is indeed the date they are aiming for the release on Verizon. I asked about the screen, it will be 4.6 inch and will be curved the same way the nexus s is. All of this im writing is a bunch of crap, I don't have a brother that works at google and I know nothing about the prime. I want to see how many people just read the beginning of a paragraph and believes everything someone they don't even know say. So be happy everyone! My brother is legit and we will be getting a Nexus for sure! We no longer have to have a bunch of rumors, we now have proof!
Nothing personal, but "hearing a story from the brother of a guy on an internet forum" is pretty much the definition of "rumor".
You know what's the most interesting thing about all these "My brothers, wife's, ex-cousin in law, house keepers poodle used the Prime and" scenarios? is that they only confirm the rumors but never ever add any new real information. You know the information people want to know such as an sdcard slot, LED, HDMI etc etc. You know things most people would take the time to look at if they truly did get a chance to handle the prime. Why is that?
I'm not saying I'm right or wrong. Just sharing what I gathered.
Some more info for you all.
It had a keyboard, but was grippier and better then the epics
The processor was considerably faster then the epics.
It had lte
Now I'm unsure about the stratosphere, but is it a direct replica of the epic? Including the keyboard?
Why 2 weeks?

I found it funny that he wasn't impressed. But he did like the Vigor.

I've been wondering why, in rumors at least, that the Vigor keeps getting referenced as a better phone. Both supposedly are going to have dual-core 1.5GHz processors, LTE, and 1GB ram. The big differences I see are the Vigor will have Sense and a 4.3" HD screen while the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will have a 4.5"-4.65" SAMOLED screen (possibly HD) and be vanilla. I guess my question is, why is the Vigor seen as superior?

Sense is a really great UI. Stock android does not look as nice as sense. And sense widgets are alot better imo. But again its probably opinion. Me, i like big phones and nice displays. So i want the prime.

So why don't you want the Vigor then since the Prime won't have sense.
P3Droid on Twitter just started another poem.
He pretty much hints at the fact that Verizon is getting an untouched version of the Nexus. He hints that usually Verizon puts bloat on your phone, but this time it will be just the OS only.
So Nexus Prime/Galaxy Nexus (whatever) should be just the OS only according to the latest Poem.
here's the poem:
I've seen the light and greatness is coming! For those that said that Red shall never join the the fold
Just wait a little longer and you will be able to hold Though we expect red to always be screwing with a device and not let it free
But this time it's new, and all is different Because its coming in its its original iteration With fudge and fixins.
