Pre-Orders/Stores that Confirm Availability

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

Let us know the minute you get it, or the lame excuse he gives when you don't.

Roger that. I'm cautiously optimistic that the sales rep has his/her facts straight. I pressed him/her pretty hard based on what I've been reading throughout the day. He/she was very confident that I would be able to purchase a galaxy nexus tomorrow morning. He/she offered to look into it further and contact me if he/she learns anything to the contrary. But as it stands, I'm hoping that we all are enjoying new toys tomorrow. And if so, SHAME on big red for letting it play out this way.

I'd give almost anything if I can get one tomorrow. I'm going to be checking best buys. If they have them, they will sell them.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

I called my local store.... kinda fudged a little.... told them I got an email stating the release was the 9th... the clerk seemed shocked and checked with her supervisor... then got back on the phone and said it was pushed back... looks like the date was the 9th at one time at least... back to waithing...

Well, I don't think it's completely out of the question that some stores might "break the street release date" and let some people buy it tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't think this will be a widespread occurrence, though, and I definitely don't think those of us planning to order online will be able to do so tomorrow.

Yeah I don't think the majority of the stores will be selling them. I know the one closest to where I work won't sell them. They already told me that it has been pushed back and they are pretty straight and professional so they follow the rules.

Why can't Verizon just cancel the phone? It's a win win for them. They get to cancel a phone they don't want on their network and we get to stay unhappy. Not to mention, they get us to buy the Razr and Rezound. Sorry, but I just needed to vent.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

I highly doubt ANY stores will be able to sell this. Not only will the system prevent them from doing so (if this wasn't the case, why wouldn't they have done it today? Some stores have stock.), but if they did manage to somehow complete the transaction, all those involved would probably get the ax. If one or two slip out, I'd be surprised, but it has happened before, but anything more than a handful and I'd be flabbergasted.

I can vouch for that. On the other hand, as a former employee, i saw what vzw corp has done to some customers so I'm the first one to say take it however it comes. I just called an authorized retailer and I'm number two on there list. They expect shipment tomorrow and when they get them in, i get sold one. So i will hopefully have my gnex before official launch.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

My guess is that people can just buy the phone and get a 4G sim card activated and insert into the phone so I don't think the system be able to prevent one from being activated but maybe prevent from being sold in a verizon store but a company like Best Buy could probably get away with selling it if it's in their stock they can sell without connecting to the verizon system for anything.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

glad someone else can confirm, thanks

Ridiculous. Like calling another store and talking to a sales rep is conformation.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

I called my store and they said that it was supposed to release in two days but got pushed back until further notice....:'(

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

Just called my local VZW store and asked if they had the Galaxy Nexus yet.

Rep told me they were going to launch it on 12/15, but an email from the manufacturer came in and said there were software issues with the phone, so it would be a little later than that. I asked the person to confirm the 12/15 date, and even asked "are you sure it wasn't 12/9?" and they said it was going to be the 15th for sure.

Anyone else hear anything similar from your local stores?

I am going to call BS on this since plenty of others are hearing other dates not to mention none said it was meant for 12/15 from day 1 anyway.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

The BBY I work at got 4 devices in stock today. I got a chance to open the box and play with the phone a little bit. Also, one of my local VZW stores actually said the last they heard was a launch on Monday (12/12), so pretty much every date is being thrown out there...

 

[dadsterflip]

Well I called a corp store and 12/9 is a no go and she mentioned 12/15 but who knows.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

Okay, just got the 'call' from the reseller. He did some digging and found out that he can not sell the galaxy nexus tomorrow. He said the fact that I second guessed him and made him look into it more, saved his butt big time. He would have gotten into a lot of trouble for selling it tomorrow. He promised me a 'big' discount for saving the local chain a huge hassle with big red. I wonder how many people are going to get GN's tommorow, and how many reps will lose jobs. I guess I saved at least one shop from the wrath of big red. Oh and the date he threw out jives with what others are saying, the 15th.

Re: VZW Store Says "No Longer 12/15"

Verizon wanted one more weekend to pimp the bloated Razr's and Rezounds....this is the problem. I can't wait to get rid of my Razr. I work inside a pharmacy and one of the pharmacists has the new iphone 4s (on AT&T)and I have a Razr. He is able to surf all day long on his iphone 4s and it gets 4 bars while my Razr cycles from 4G to nothing all day long....I can't stay on the internet to save my life. I'm very disappointed in the Razr for that. He said it was because the iphone 4s has two antennas.
